剑桥商务英语-剑桥商务英语高级模拟60 剑桥商务英语高级模拟60 READING PART ONE Look at the statements below and at the definitions of five frequently-talked terms in most recent years, which have reflected the current global concerns. Which definition (A, B, C, D orE. does each statement refer to? You will need to use some of these letters more than once. A Globalisation is an umbrella term for a complex series of economic, social, technological, cultural and political changes seen as increasing interdependence, integration and interaction between people and companies in disparate locations. As a term, "globalisation" has been used as early as 1944 but economists began applying it around 1982. Theodore Levitt is usually credited with its coining through the article he wrote in 1983 for the Harvard Business Review entitled "Globalisation of Markets". The more encompassing phenomenon has been perceived in the context of sociological study on a worldwide scale. B Inflation risk is whether a rate of return or an investment keeps up with the rate of inflation. For example, if there is 4 percent inflation over the year, you must have 4 percent more money at the end of the year than at the beginning of the year to buy the same amount of goods and services. That means your stock need to go up in value more than 4 percent to earn a return on your investment. Stocks have generally done very well in this category. C A Low-Carbon Economy (LCE. is an economy which has a minimal output of greenhouse gas (GHG. emissions into the biosphere, but specifically refers to the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. Recently, most of scientific and public opinion has come to the conclusion that there is such an accumulation of CHGs (especially CO) in the atmosphere due to anthropogenic causes, that the climate 2 is changing. The over-concentrations of these gases is producing global warming that affects long-term climate, with negative impacts on humanity in the foreseeable future. Globally implemented LCE's therefore, are proposed as a means to avoid catastrophic climate change, and as a precursor to the more advanced, zero-carbon society and renewable-energy economy. D A web search engine, which is commonly named as "a search engine", is designed to search for information on the World Wide Web. The search results are usually presented in a list of results and are commonly called hits. The information may consist of web pages, images, information and other types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories. Unlike Web directories, which are maintained by human editors, search engines operate algorithmically or are a mixture of algorithmic and human input. E Cultural tourism (also called culture tourism or cultural heritage tourism) is the subset of tourism concerned with a country or region's culture, specifically the lifestyle of the people in those geographical areas, the history of those peoples, their art, architecture, religion, and other elements that help shape their way of life. Cultural tourism includes tourism in urban areas, particularly historic or large cities and their cultural facilities such as museums and theatres. It can also include tourism in rural areas showcasing the traditions of indigenous cultural communities (i. e. festivals, rituals), and their values and lifestyle. 1、 This term is sometimes used to describe the pursuit of free market policies in the world economy. 2、 This term reflects a stock's sensibility to unexpected changes in the inflation rate. 3、 This term is also referred to as Low-Fossil-Fuel Economy which is proposed to cope with climate change. 4、 This term was first used in economic field 38 years later than it had been first presented. 5、 This term refers to a tool used for searching on the Internet. 6、 This term has been presented to describe a popular form of entertainment for the global public. 7、 This term has been presented with the purpose of protecting the global environment. 8、 This term has been used in a limited sphere, and people who don't use or have never used the Internet don't benefit from it.

PART THREE Read the following article about forms of business ownership and the questions on the opposite page. Forms of Business Ownership A business may have a small beginning as a sole proprietorship, later expand into a partnership, and finally become a corporation. Many corporate giants started as sole proprietoriships. Sole Proprietorships The oldest, most common form of private business ownership is the sole proprietorship. A sole proprietorship is a business owned and managed by one individual. That person may receive help from others in operating the business but is the only boss; the sole proprietor is the company. Typically the sole proprietor owns a small service or retail operation, such as a roadside produce stand, hardware store, bakery, or restaurant. The sole owner, often sided by one or two employees, operates a small shop that often supplies goods to a group of regular customers. The capital (money) needed to start and operate the business is normally provided by the owner through personal wealth or borrowed money. The sole proprietor is usually an active manager, working in the ship every day. He or she controls the operations, supervises the employees, and makes the decisions. The managerial ability of the owner usually accounts for the success or failure of the business. Many people desire to be their own boss. A sole proprietorship accomplishes this goal; it has other advantages as well. Sole proprietorship is the easiest way to start a business. The sole owner has all profits earned or losses by operation. Another advantage of the proprietorship is that the business pays no income tax. It is also easy to close a business. A sole proprietorship also has disadvantages, for example, unlimited liability, difficulty in raising capital, limitations in managerial ability, demands on time, difficulty in hiring and keeping high achievement employees, and etc. Partnerships There are three major types of partnerships. A general partnership is a business with at least one general partner who has unlimited liability for the debts of the business. A limited partnership has at least one or more limited partners. The joint venture is a special type of partnership established to carry out a special project or to operate for a specific time period. The advantages of a partnership include the following: more capital, combined managerial skills, ease of starting, tax advantages. and etc. The disadvantages of a partnership include the following: unlimited liability, disagreements among partners, investment withdrawal difficulty, limited capital and etc. Corporations Some industries, such as automobile manufacturing, computer manufacturing, oil refining, and natural gas production, require millions of dollars to operate a business. Typically such vast sums of money are put together by attracting many investors. The unincorporated forms of business--the proprietorship and the partnership do not attract investors who do not want to make decisions or to be actually involved in managing the firm. The corporation, by contrast, provides a form of business ownership in which owners spread over a wide geographical area can hire professional managers to operate the business. It has the legal rights of an individual: it can own property, purchase goods and services, and sue other persons or corporations. The advantages of a corporation include the following: limited liability, skilled management team, transfer of ownership, greater capital base, and etc. the disadvantages of a corporation include the following: difficulty and expenses of starting, lack of control right to the operation, government involvement, lack of personal interest, double taxation, credit limitations. 15、 Which of the following is not true about the sole proprietorship? A. It has more than one boss. B. It is usually a small service or retail operation. C. It is a business owned and managed by one person. D. It is a company. 16、 The advantages of the sole proprietorship include the following except A. being their own boss, easy to close a business and demanding on time B. having all profits and losses, being their own boss and easy to start a business C. easy to start a business, easy to close a business D. paying no income tax 17、 A limited partnership has A. only one general partner.

Choose the correct word or words to fill each gap from A, B, C or D on the opposite page. Capital Controls and Monetary Policy in Developing Countries This paper looks at both the theoretical and empirical literature on capital controls and finds that controls can play an important role in developing countries by helping to insulate them from some of the harmful 21 of volatile and short-term capital flows. The authors look at controls on capital inflows in Malaysia (1989-1995); Colombia (1993-1998); Chile (1989-1998); and Brazil (1992-1998), and also consider the 22 of Malaysia's controls on outflows in 1998-2001. They conclude that there is sufficient backing in both economic theory and empirical evidence to consider more widespread 23 of capital controls in order to 24 some of the macroeconomic problems 25 with short-term capital flows, to enable certain development strategies, and to allow policymakers more flexibility with regard to crucial monetary and exchange rate policies. The paper follows what appears to be a shift in the position of the International Monetary Fund (IMF. towards such controls. In a February paper, the IMF concluded that "there may be 26 in which capital controls are a legitimate 27 of the policy 28 to surges in capital inflows. " The Fund's Global Financial Stability Report 29 in April 2010 was less sanguine about capital controls, but the net result is that the IMF appears more open to 30 capital controls than in the past. 21、 A. effects B. affects C. influence D. influences 22、 A. case B. situation C. study D. finding 23、 A. adaption B. adoption C. adaptation D. adeption 24、 A. answer B. reply C. address D. take 25、 A. concerning B. associating C. associated D. relative 26、 A. circumstances B. condition C. occasions D. environment A. section B. element C. segment D. 27、 component 28、 A. reply B. answer C. action D. response 29、 A. released B. published C. announced D. issuing 30、 A. support B. favour C. favouring D. supporting PART FIVE Read the article below telling about basic knowledge of shares transaction. For each question, write one word in CAPITAL LETTERS. The Buying and Selling of Shares The business of buying and selling shares is done in an area known the floor. Scattered over the floor are positions called posts. Each post bears the names of the stocks traded at that post. A broker desiring to buy shares of a certain stock will go to the section of the post allotted to that stock. If the prevailing price of the stock is several points 31 from the figure the broker is authorized to pay, an order may be left with the specialist, who often acts as liaison 32 buyer and seller. The specialist enters the order in a book; 33 the price is reached, the specialist buys or sells the stock 34 to the orders of the broker and reports the transaction to the buyer and the seller. If the prevailing quotations are close 35 the price the broker is authorized to by, however, he or she usually attempts 36 complete the transaction without recourse to the specialist. As soon as a price is agreed on, both brokers, the buyer and the seller, make a memorandum of the transaction. which is reported 37 the brokerage office at once by telephone. An exchange employee 38 the post where the transaction occurs writes, on a special card. the stock symbol, the number of shares, and the price, and places the card in an optical reader. The photoelectric eye of the card reader scans tire pencil marks 39 transmits the information to a compute. The computer records the information in its memory banks and transmits the details of the transaction 40 more than 25,400 electrical tickers and display devices in the U. S., Canada. and Europe.

Typically such vast sums of money are put together by attracting many investors. 该句主要列出了采取法人形式的一些行业，oil refining(炼油业)和natural gas production(天然气制造业)也在其中，故判断正确答案为C项“corporations(法人形式)”。 PART FOUR 21、A [解析] 综合判断题。A项意为“(多种)结果，(多种)影响”;B项意为“影响”，动词;C项意为“影响”;D项意为“各种影响”。而effect与influence的区别在于:effect更侧重于结果，尤指不好的结果，根据文中意思，C项和D项可以被排除。然后根据前后文，判断这里需要一个名词复数，故判断A项为正确选项。 22、A [解析] 词义辨析题。A项意为“情况，事例，案件”;B项意为“形势，情况”;C项意为“学习，调查，研究(成果)”;D项意为“调查结果，研究结果”。可以根据上下文语境，选择“case”表示“事例”。故A项为正确选项。 23、B [解析] 词义辨析加综合判断题。A项意为“改编，适应”;B项意为“采纳，采用”;C项意为“改编，适应”;D项看似是adept的名词，其实在英语中不存在。根据该句表达的意思，应取“采纳”的含义，故B项为正确选项。 24、C [解析] 词义辨析加搭配题。A项answer的常用搭配为:answer questions，即“回答问题”;B项reply为不及物动词，其后不能接宾语，意为“回复，回答”;C项address做“解决”之意讲时常使用的固定搭配为address problems(解决问题);D项take表达类似含义的一个固定表达为take questions表示“回答问题”。根据该句表达的意思，判断C项为正确答案。 25、C [解析] 词义辨析加搭配题。根据该句表达的意思，这里需要填人一个词与介词with构成词组，表示“关于，与……有关”的含义。A项concerning可以独立表示“关于”的含义，本身即为介词;B项associating虽可与with搭配使用，但在句中句意不当;C项构成associated with，为固定表达，表示“关于，与……有关”;D项relative不能与with搭配使用。故C项为正确答案。 26、A [解析] 词义辨析加综合考查题。A项circumstances(复数形式)意为“境况，状况”;B项意为“条件，环境”;C项意为“场合”，这里为复数形式;D项意为“环境”。根据该句表达的意思，应选择A项。 27、D [解析] 词义辨析题。A项意为“章节，截面，(文章等的)部分”;B项意为“元素，成分”;C项意为“部分，断片”;D项意为“组成部分，构成部分”。根据该句表达的意思，判断应选择D项。 28、D [解析] 词义辨析题。A项意为“回复，回答”;B项意为“回答，答复”;C项意为“行动，动作”;D项意为“回应，反应，响应”。根据该句表达的意思，应该选D项。 29、A [解析] 词义辨析加综合考查题。此处需要置入一个非谓语动词形式来引导可以修饰限定主语report的定语部分。A项意为“发布”;B项意为“出版”;C项意为“宣布”;D项意为“发布”。此时我们可以判断由于report与其后动名词所表达动作构成被动关系，所以应置入动词的被动形式。故根据该句表达的意思，判断A项为正确答案。 30、D [解析] 词义辨析与搭配题。A项意为“支持”;B项意为“赞同，喜爱”;C项意为“赞同，喜爱”;D项意为“支持”。根据该句表达的意思，应判断排除B项和C项。此时，由于open to中的to不可能为动词不定式符号，即这里的to的词性是介词，故判断其后只能跟动名词作宾语，所以确定D项为正确答案。 PART FIVE 31、AWAY [解析] be...away from A 是常见搭配，表示“距A有……远，远离A……”。 32、BETWEEN [解析] between A and B 是常见搭配，表示“在A与B之间”。 33、WHEN [解析] when在这里引导时间状语从句，其后主句为“the specialist buys or sells...”。 34、ACCORDING [解析] according to 是常见搭配，表示“根据，按照，据(某人)所说”。 35、TO [解析] be close to 是常见搭配，表示“靠近，接近”。 TO 36、 [解析] attempt to do sth. 是常见搭配，表示“尝试做某事，企图做某事，努力做某事”。 37、TO [解析] report sth. to sb(是常见搭配，表示“把某事报告给某人，报告某人某事”，这里使用的是该表达的被动形式。 38、AT [解析] 从文中开头第一句可以知道，post(交易台)为一个position(地点)，故判断“在交易台处(或区域)”的表达为:at the post。 39、AND [解析] 这里判断transmit和scan均为the photoelectric发出的动作，故这里两个动词之间用and连接。 40、TO [解析] transmit sth. to somewhere是固定表达，表示“把某物转移/传送到某地”。 PART SIX 41、MORE [解析] 这里为比较级的强调，具体说，在much higher than...的表达中，much强调比较词higher 的程度。故MORE多余。 42、IT [解析] 这里的关键是判断afford的宾语已经包含在what中，故IT多余。 43、BE/FEEL [解析] 很明显，本句为I believe引导的宾语从句，引导词that省略。在从句的谓语部分构成中， 谓语动词既可能是be，也可能是feel，但二者只能保留一个。 44、CORRECT [解析] 此行行文正确，无语法错误，判断为正确。 45、CORRECT [解析] 此行句子语法正确，行文流畅，无词法等错误，故判断为正确。 46、ON [解析] 此行中，动词consider(考虑，细想)为及物动词，其后直接接名词或代词作宾语，也可接 动名词做宾语。这里即是动名词作宾语的情况，故介词ON多余。 47、CORRECT [解析] 此行行文正确，无语法错误，故判断为正确。 48、NUMBER [解析] 这里，rate of increase为固定表达，意为“增长率”，虽然暗指数字，但这里无需出现 number，故NUMBER多余。 49、SOME [解析] in other words为固定短语，常在句中作插入语，意为“换句话说，也就是说”。故SOME 多余。 50、CURRENTLY [解析] short-term profit为“短期利益”，short-term在使用中不能用表示“现在”的任何词 做修饰，故CURRENTLY多余。 51、CORRECT [解析] 此行句子行文完整，无语法等错误，故判断为正确。 52、 ON [解析] 此行中仍旧是犯了consider使用的错误。与46题的错误同属一个类型。根据前面在46题中 的解说中，判断ON多余。 WRITING PART ONE 53、[写作范文] From the above table, we can see that it's been a fairly encouraging year for this electronics chain store overall. However, the sales of PC are obviously not as good as that of laptop during the whole year. As for PC, the fourth quarter scores the highest sales, followed by the second quarter, and the third quarter ranks prior to the first quarter. As for laptop, the sales are similar from a quarterly-based study. The fourth quarter is exceptionally good with 1620 as much higher sales than the first three quarters. Laptop doesn't sell very well in the first quarter than in the other three quarters. The third quarter was slightly less successful than the second quarter in the sales of laptop. In the main, the sales of the two listed products throughout the year increased in the second three months, then dropped slightly during the summer months from July through September, and came to its peak season in the last three winter months before New Year time. PART TWO 54、[写作范文] The report sets out to describe the suitability of the Maritime Hall for holding a two-day conference with sales staff. I have recently attended a conference at Maritime Hall, so I know well about the qualities and services there. It is a 20-storied modern conference hall with advanced equipments in the east part of the city, about half an hour's drive from our headquarter. The hall is suitable for our conference in some aspects. First, it is equipped with advanced facilities for meetings and can meet our demands completely. What's more, the service they provide is very good, so all staff will feel very comfortable there. However, there are also some negative aspects. First, most of the halls are for large conferences, so they are too spacious, while smaller ones are often not available without booking in advance. Then, the rent is a little higher compared with our budget. Finally, they don't provide lunch there. I have some recommendations for the above problems, such as booking in advance and negotiating with the manager of the hall to lower the rent. As they provide all kinds of services freely, some of our budget can be saved. And we can arrange the lunch in an economical restaurant nearby. With all things considered, I think the Maritime Hall is a suitable place for the conference. 55、[写作范文] Dear Sir, Congratulations on your firm' s going public last week. We were really excited to see the news in today's newspaper. As we all know, you are one of our best business partners. We established business relationship with you since 2002 and still keep in touch with each other today. Your company' s superiority in finance and management has always been the rules of conduct in this trade, which make you the first standard company in the world. I'm sure going public will make your company develop more quickly and be more internationalised to be the profession model in the future. Also, I hope this can be another good beginning for our future cooperation. As you know, we have decided to expand the scale of our business and a new branch will be opened in the north of the country. Moreover, products of your company have always enjoyed a very huge market in our country. As a result, we will purchase more of your products and I'm sure you will design more products to satisfy the need of our customers. Your company's going public will surely generate your publicity and make customers trust your products qualities, which can help to increase sales. Again sincere congratulations on your going public. And I hope we can have the chance for a meeting in the near future. Sincerely yours, Jack Johnson 56、[写作范文] To: Lucas Wang, The HR manager From: Monica Xue, the assistant Date: August 14. 2009 Subject: Proposal for training courses I here submit the following proposal to inform you of my suggestion for the training course. As we know, our company is of service trade and etiquette is the most important thing. Therefore, I strongly recommend that Etiquette Training, which aims to improve the services of the staff, should be our first choice in choosing a training course. The reasons why I consider Etiquette Training a better choice over Technique Training can be concluded as the following: First, as is listed above, service standard shapes the destiny of our hotel. Second, some newcomers are not familiar about the etiquette and can't de their jobs perfectly, which has affected the degree of satisfaction of cur customers. Third, technique training courses are offered by department leaders once a month, so there is no need for a technique training throughout the whole company. As a result，I recommend that al l the staff of the company get the etiquette course every Saturday afternoon from this week fill the end of this month And a test should be given at the end of the training to make sure that everyone has benefited from the course( LISTENING PART ONE 57、SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM [解析] 1-12 Woman: Hello Members[ The first Board meeting of the current Board took place in late December and I am happy to report that Executives were returned to their previous roles. For the benefit of all members, I will list the current Board of Directors as well as our Senior Management Team. That will be posted on the company's website. One thing is worth your attention, well, we have a new HR Manager Hannah Eddy. I believe that she will enhance our administration in the following hard days. The coming year presents both ongoing and new challenges to the Management team on a number of fronts. These challenges include the continued implementation by the government of legislation directly affecting the day-to-day operations of the club. Obviously the introduction of plastic glasses appears not far from the horizon and yet again community clubs are being lumped into the same basket as night clubs operating until the early morning hours. The implementation of a new driver's license (Smart Card) and the issues that this will raise in relation to their use as a form of identification will need addressing. The final recommendations of the Productivity Commission from its inquiry into gambling and what impact these have if they are adopted. As I have raised previously the results of the Productivity Commission are the most eagerly awaited as they have the potential to change the way the Club operates as well as our continued support of the community in general. Our courtesy bus service began operating in early December and has proven to be very popular with members. The implementation of this service has not been without complaint. The major complaint has related to the area the service covers. All complaints have been recorded and a review of the operation of this service is being undertaken to determine where and how to operate this service in the most efficient way, although any solution that is implemented will not be able to meet the needs of every member. Our General Manager Tony and his assistant Steve have purchased 37 additional Gaming Machine licenses from another club and in the coming weeks will ,see the addition of new and updated product to the gaming floor. Whilst we have received approval for an additional 60 machines, these will not all be installed immediately. It is hoped the additional machines will meet the need during our busier periods. "The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything. " Have a fantastic Easter everyone and we look forward to seeing you in the club.

Personally, I regard that it is important to create a list of career options you think you'd really enjoy, not just the ones you think you can do. Don't limit your thinking at this stage. If you really want to be a polar explorer, or start your own jewellery business, put them on the list. Then research how others changed into these careers. Don't claim to have degrees or experience you don't. Remember that many organisations check references. Any inconsistencies could lead to an employer rescinding a job offer. Woman: Well, jobseekers who ask, "What can I do with my degree/experience?" have it backwards. A good job search should start with you, not your CV. Are you an idea person? Do you have the gift of the gab? Are you good at explaining things to others? Most of us don't think of ourselves as 'talented'-but look closer, and you'll find something to guide you towards the sort of jobs you'll most enjoy. Follow up an interview with a brief courtesy message (an email will do) a few days later. Not many applicants bother with this, and it will keep you at the front of an interviewer's mind. It doesn't take more than 15 minutes to knock out a well-crafted thank-you letter. Man: Is there crossover between the two fields? If so, use these lists to help identify the types of jobs and industries you are most suited for. Get to know yourself and focus on your strengths. What makes you come alive? Ask yourself what really motivates you? Understand your unique skills, abilities and interests. Dress appropriately for the job you want. Presentation can make the difference in whether or not you are hired or even the salary you are offered. Dress at least as well as you would when actually turning up to do the job-preferably better. If you feel you look good, you will come across as confident and relaxed. Woman: Well, those suggestions are very worthy. Anyway, talking to recruiters in your sector is to establish what they consider to be an above-average CV. If you can afford it, consider asking a CV- writing agency to help you, but only one that comes recommended by someone in your network. As always, there's a bell curve of skill and you can spend a lot of money to very little effect if you hire the wrong wordsmith, especially when you aren't 100% certain who they are. The speaker says that he once assumed the girl who greeted him and asked if he wanted a coffee was a secretary but when she sat down and started the interview he realised she was the boss. It taught me a lot. Man: Put yourself in the shoes of each recruiter and make sure you've emphasised the bits they'll be most interested in. Don't use jargon they won't understand and if your former employers aren't well-known, explain briefly the nature of each, before detailing what you did there. Consider a video CV if you are in a technical field, but be careful, it's easy to do this very badly. Produce a 30-second, a 90-second and a five-minute piece for your channel. Make sure that channel on YouTube or Vimeo reflects the professional image you are seeking to cast and track viewing states very closely to assess if your approach is working. Take a phone in advance to confirm time, place and directions if needed. It's also worth scouting out the location in advance to check parking, public transport, cafes where you can loiter and so on. If an act of God makes you late, phone and offer to reschedule, but don't expect to be taken as seriously as the candidate who has the same experience as you who showed up on time. [答案精解] 与此相关的选项只有A，其他选项在录音中均未提及。中间的几句话讲的都跟判定职业 方向有关，暗示语很明确。 70、 [解析] 根据录音中“Most of us don't think of ourselves as 'talented'-but look closer, and you'll find something to guide you towards the sort of jobs you'll most enjoy(”从这两句话，尤其是后一句话，判定D是相关的选项。 71、 [解析] 录音中“...If so, use these lists to help identify the types of jobs and industries you are most suited for. ”这一关键句已说明所谈内容是关于工作的二选一， 故选C项。 72、 [解析] 根据录音中“Well, those suggestions are very worthy. ”这一句话，可知他们 谈 的是寻找其他的建议，从而受到启迪，因此H项为正确选项。 73、 [解析] 根据第二和第三句话，尤其是第三句话，“Consider a video CV If you are in a technical field，”判定他是在说使 简历 个人简历下载免费下载简历模版总经理简历下载资料员简历下载资料员简历下载 能有一定的针对性，故而判定B项正确。 74、 [解析] 根据此人后面所说的一句话“Any inconsistencies could lead to an employer rescinding a job offer”，判定此项为正确选项。句中的“inconsistencies”与提示信息中 的“being honest in the interview"相照应。 75、 [解析] 此位女士在后面讲到，“It doesn't take more than 15 minutes to knock out a well-crafted thank-you letter. ”，据此可判定此项为正确选项。 76、 [解析] 此位先生在最后说道:“Dress at least as well as you would...”说明着装要很 小心，据此判定E项是正确选项。 77、 [解析] 此位女士在最后说到误把老板当秘书，据此判定B项应为正确选项。 78、 [解析] 此人在最后时说“...who showed up on time. ”，据此可推测A项是正确选项。 PART THREE 79、A [解析] 23-30 Man: Good morning and welcome to Promotion Everyday, the programme that speeds you up in your career development. Coming up later we have the successful examples or stars to keep you right on track. Today I'm talking to Karla DeOaprio. Karla, nice to meet you. Woman: Thank you for having me here. Man: Now, Karla, you are probably best known as a very famous Senior HR Manager in the top 500 fortune. Could you tell us what drew you to an HR career? Woman: I was an athletic trainer in high school, which meant I spent a lot of time in the ER with injured athletes. I was very intrigued by the hospital room and the people who worked there. I began to wonder what kept people happy in that stressful sort of work environment. I found out, ultimately, that there was a field called hospital administration, and also, human resources, devoted to just this. It is a field focused on keeping a business and its employees happy. Man: Inspiring your mind, ha. How did you start your human resources education? Woman: I chose to pursue a human resources degree from the College of Business at Ohio State University. Afterwards, I also obtained a Master's in Labour and Human Resources. I started my human resources career at Compuserv, an online connectivity company, where I primarily worked in staffing and campus recruiting. I grew the company from about 1,000 to 3,000 employees. After Oompuserv acquired a small Internet company, I moved on to Spry as an HR manager. In 1996 I joined Microsoft, where I am today. Man: What do you enjoy most about your job as a human resource professional? What are some challenges you face? Woman: I enjoy watching the impact I can make in moving the business to a new place, and creating better offerings for the company. It can be a challenge because no two days are alike it's not like a dentist's office where everybody's teeth look more or less the same. Man: Interesting, like many business women, does your job allow for a healthy work-life balance? Woman: I typically work 45 to 50 hours a week, not all of which is in the office. It really depends on the specific job. There are HR roles in Occupational Safety and Union Negotiations-in the airline industry, for instance-where the hours might be more erratic. In the tech industry, HR professionals tend to have pretty standard hours. Man: Is it fairly easy to move around from one industry to another, for example, from high tech to financial or healthcare? Woman: Yes, it is fairly easy to move around from sector to sector. But personally, software development has always interested me more than other areas. Man: What skills are critical to having a successful HR career? Woman: Business acumen--understanding the business and how it works. Systematical thinking--thinking about the system and organisation as a whole. People acumen-understanding why different people act the way they do. Man: Any parting thoughts to someone planning on becoming a human resources professional? Woman: Do informational interviews with people working in HR to understand all the different choices you have in this field. Study companies that do HR well, like General Electric and PepsiCo. This can be very helpful in understanding the type of impact a human resources professional can have. It's also important to gain business expertise you will have to understand accounting and comprehend balance sheets, for example.

Man: Karla DeCaprio, thank you very much! Woman: Thank you ! [答案精解] 在采访一开始主持人就说Karla DeOaprio是一家世界500强企业的资深人力资源 经理，主持人询问“Could you tell us what drew you to an HR career?”这里的关键句 是“I was an athletic trainer in high school, which meant I spent a lot of time in the ER with injured athletes. ”。据此可排除B、C两个选项，判定A项为正确选项。 80、B [解析] 女经理Karla DeCaprio在回答中说，“I chose to pursue a human resources degree from the College of Business at Ohio State University. Afterwards, I also obtained a Master's in Labour and Human Resources. ” 据此可以排除A项，硕士学位是其拿到的最高学位，从而判定B项为正确选项。 81、C [解析] Karla DeOaprio 列举了几个公司名称。最开始点出，即“I started my human resources career at Oompuserv, an online connectivity company...”所以C项应是正确答案， 第二份工作是在B项中的Spry，而A项Microsoft是她现在工作的公司。 82、A [解析] 在对话中Karla DeCaprio 提到推进商业，为公司签到更好的人。据此可排除C项;关键 句是“I can make in moving the business to a new place...”由此可排除B项，正确 答案应是A项。 83、A [解析] “I typically work 45 to 50 hours a week, not all of which is in the office. It really depends on the specific job. ”这一关键句点出了答案。录音中并 没有跟其他行业的工作时间相比较，故不选B和C。 84、B [解析] 从他们的谈话中“Business acumen-understanding the business and how it works. Systematical thinking-thinking about the system and organisation as a whole(People acumen-understanding why different people act the way they do. ” 我们得知，是商业敏锐性/1萄业智慧/营业本领(即Business acumen);全局统筹(即 systematical thinking);对人的敏锐度(即 people acumen)。因此应选B项。 85、C [解析] 她之前说了做人力资源的所需技巧什么，所以可排除B项，这是所需技巧并不是建议;关键 句是“Do informational interviews with people working in HR to understand all the different choices you have in this field. Study companies that do HR well, like General Electric and PepsiCo. ”所以C项才是正确选项。A项中的expert title 在录音中没有提及，只是说要学习专业的技能从而更好地完成工作，这里偷换概念。 86、A [解析] 录音中提到“Experience and insight are very important, and the capability of study is all the more important(”经验和洞察力都是要有的，而成功的关键是“学习”， 学习能力尤为重要。故A项为正确选项。 SPEAKING PART ONE 87、 PART TWO 88、[参考范例] A. Presentation: how to perform a perfect presentation In the first place, a perfect presentation can be a powerful event, inspiring audience to take action or change their way of thinking. The reverse is also true: a weak presentation can result in apathy, boredom, or a lost business opportunity. Secondly, we need to know that the success of any presentation relies on a few factors; great content, an engaging presenter, and a seamless technical performance. Star speakers move around the stage, making eye contact and speaking directly to attendees. They speed up their vocal delivery to build momentum, and slow it down to drive emphasis. Their slides are full of impressive graphics and facts that illustrate their points. They're passionate. They're confident. They're funny. Once deck of slides is built, it's time to practice. Sit in front of a mirror with your laptop at your side. Start from the beginning and work through your deck, presenting to yourself in the mirror. This previous presentation can help you conquer anxiety and boost your confidence. B. Training: the importance of training staff to use new technology It is a very important step to train your staff in how to use the new technology. First of all, most of your staff won't be familiar with this technology since it is new and unless you train them they will spend much more time in getting used to it. Therefore, your training is worthy in getting your staff to understand the new technology. Secondly, you still won't enjoy the high efficiency brough up by the new technology if you can't achieve the perfect combination of your staff and the new technology which is only possible through training. The last but not the least you can improve your staff's ability to harness the new technology through your training program and make them more confident in their work, which will definitely enhance the efficiency of your company. C. Meeting manner: how to master meeting manner It would be nice if all meetings could be short and sweet. More often, they are not. We can try to make it so. Firstly, to stop talk from spiraling out of control, agree to skip long stories and speak in bullet points. Secondly, act after second thoughts, if you want to say something after your colleagues' speech. Think, then think again, and if your remark still seems relevant, go ahead. Or try drastic means: hold meetings standing up for maximum discomfort. To keep others on track, let people know how much time you'll need beforehand, or meet at a weird hour, say, 4:17 P.M. No one will be late with such an odd starting time. PART THREE 89、[参考案例] A: Our company would like to introduce a wellness programme. We have been asked to illustrate to the staff on the company website literally. B: Many of the diseases that lead to high absenteeism and inability to perform at optimum levels are related to lifestyle choices. They are learned behaviours that can be unlearned. If you think this should be the responsibility of the employee, not the employer, you wouldn't necessarily be wrong. However, when that obese, inactive, smoking, 50 plus manager has a major heart attack and is out of work for several months, it is really going to affect the whole business. So it benefits both employer and employees. A: I totally agree with you. Cost savings can be seen in decreased use of health care benefits, decreased rates of absenteeism, decreased numbers of accidents and injuries, and reduced employee turnover. The more you learn about corporate wellness programme, the more you will see the amazing benefits associated with corporate wellness programme. Then, in your opinion, what advantages could inspire the employees? B: Well, corporate wellness programme can help reduce the number of workers' injuries at the workplace, according to the National Safety Council. A Michigan University study in 1999 determined that employees who take part in a corporate wellness programme had significantly lower numbers of injuries than their non-wellness programme counterparts. In addition, the injuries that did occur had lower treatment costs overall when compared to injuries sustained by workers who did not participate in corporate wellness programme. I want to know your opinion on this matter. A: Yes, corporate wellness programme can be costly to implement. Whether our company is providing a full-scale workout centre, or simply a walking path around the building there is a cost factor involved. In addition, classes on diet, exercise and nutrition as well as group leaders for smoking cessation programme all come with price tags. Although the initial outlay for corporate wellness can be high, the long-term benefits can make it worth the expense. Do you agree with me? B: Yes, I am for you on this. And reducing the cost of employee health care can improve a company's overall profit margin by reducing one area of overhead. According to WellnessProposals. com, a corporate wellness programme will significantly reduce health care costs to the corporation. A: That is also what I want to say.
