第1题：
Why does the author mention Fuller s The Sea？( )A.To point out a dance of Fuller’s in which music did not play an important role.
B.To explain why Fuller sometimes used music by progressive composers.
C.To ilustrate a particular way in which Fuller developed as an artist.
D.To ilustrate how Fuller’s interest in science was reflected in her work.答案：C解析：细节题。根据题干关键词The Sea定位到文章第五段的第三句。该句将The Sea作为一个作品示例，但例证的观点或主题需要根据段落上下文确定。段落第一句提到“随着专业技能方面的复杂化、成熟化，富勒在舞蹈的其他方面也得到了发展”。段落第二句举出了使用音乐的例子，第三句中The Sea作为舞蹈主题方面的例子出现，由此可见，两个例子都是为了证明富勒在舞蹈其他方面的发展，而这些发展都是富勒自己独特的尝试。C项“说明富勒发展成一个艺术家的特殊方式”与之相符。A项“在富勒的一个舞蹈中，音乐的作用不大”，B项“解释为什么富勒有时会用先进音乐家的音乐”，D项“阐述富勒对科学的兴趣如何在她的作品中反映出来”，均不正确。 -

问答题Q3: What important differences do you think there are between, selling to consumer abroad and selling to domestic markets? （Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: Possibly cultural diversity is one of the most important differences between selling to consumer abroad and selling to domestic markets. Different nationalities have different expectations when it comes to how employers and employees should behave. National culture is perhaps a major obstacle to making global businesses effective. National values are directly linked to organizational decision-making. Most international human resources managers will experience these expectation differences firstly..
B: There are several factors that influence decision-making, such as recruiting new employees, promoting staff, fixing salary levels, and making staff redundant. All these factors are concerned with cultural values. It is safe to say that cultural values have a great effect on management decision making. For example, one relationship is is established on the basis of shared expectations, which are common to employees of the same nationality. In America, typical of this is the belief that individuals should receive salary gains but doesn’t have to share them with lower-performance colleagues. But in some other countries, this will get nowhere. Nevertheless, it is only with this awareness can employees from diverse nationalities appreciate their differences and build mutual understanding.解析： 暂无解析 -

Employers can employ people not in high demand and place valuable employees where they won’t be tempted by job offers constantly. Another option is for them to team up with other companies to offer cross-company career paths.

问答题Why did the Civil War break out? How did the war end?正确答案： —— In the early 1800s, the Northern states turned from farming to manufacturing. Black slavery soon disappeared in the North. But things were different in the South. The South expanded both its agriculture and its slavery. The problem of slavery became a serous political issue. The abolitionists tried to abolish slavery while the South tried to keep it. When Abraham Lincoln was elected President, the Southern states broke away and formed a new nation. Then Lincoln was determined to maintain the Union and the war broke out on April 12, 1861, Lincoln realized that he could win support for the Union at home and abroad by making the war a just war against slavery. So he issued Emancipation Proclamation. Thus England and France stood by the Union’s side. Many black slaves joined the Union Army. After a series of battles, Robert Lee could no longer hold Richmond. He surrendered on April 9, 1865. The Civil War ended.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Q3: Do you think it’s better for staff to receive written or oral feedback on their performance? (Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: I think it’s better for staff to receive written feedback on their performance. If manager gives his/her subordinates written feedback, it will save the trouble of talking to staff face-to-face. To give oral feedback on staff performance might put supervisor/manager in a position where he or she is criticized for doing wrong or supposed to have done wrong in meeting legal requirements. Senior staff don’t have to listen to staff when they make complaints about the company.
B: I think it is sensible to give oral feedback on staff performance. Face-to-face communication contributes to improving relations between managers and staff, which can boost staff morale. Giving staff oral feedback also offers a chance for managers and staff to discuss the goals and targets together. Thus, the managers/supervisors can get valuable information from staff to employer, which in turn can be used to build new targets.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Follow-up questions Interlocutor: Q1: Do you think frequent staff changes are good or bad for a company?(Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: I don’t think frequent staff changes are good for a company. To stay afloat in fierce competition, companies must retain skilled hands. I like skilled hands and I think it is the same thing with all employers. Employers are aware of the priceless value of know-how and experience. Skilled hands make all the difference, for the experienced employees and skilled hands know the way to satisfy the most demanding clientele. When an experienced employee leaves, he may take away with him some valuable connections and information, as well as a group of existing customers. Without the experienced staff, you are certain to lose your customers. As a result, you’ll lose everything in competition.
B: Staff changes directly affect the success of a variety of approaches in sales and sales management. Although frequent staff changes might bring negative result to a company, however, frequent staff changes may also exert a positive influence on the success in business by getting rid of the stale and taking in the fresh. Since some employees are getting stale, they need a change. A change will turn out to be beneficial to both employees and the company. A market-driven approach to retention is available, which is based on the assumption that long-term, across-the-board loyalty is neither possible nor desirable.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 10：Work to Live or Live to Work? Questions for reference: 1) Why do people live? 2) Are people really aware of the reasons why they work? 3) How do you balance work and life?正确答案： 【参考答案】
Living in a highly competitive society, the idea that the purpose of life is to work is prevalent even dominant. Most bread earners believe that financial guarantee is more realistic and more important for a person and for his family. So they take for granted that devoting to work is the most reasonable and worthy thing to do.
Nevertheless, objectors think that work is only a means to have a better life. They argue that there are more important things than work in life, such as friends, personal interests, social responsibilities and so or. They think that life will be dull and meaningless with work as its aim.
In my opinion, we should strike a balance between work and life. On the one hand, to be a diligent worker is necessary and meaningful. On the other hand, we should not be workaholic, or we will lose many significant things in life, such as love and friendship. 解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Q4: Should staff that performs well at work be rewarded? (Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: In my opinion, staff that performs well at work should be rewarded. It is reasonable for staff members to expect some reward after working so hard.
They deserve to be reward, if they do perform well at work. Giving reward to good employee will encourage him/her to do even better job. Consequently, it will be beneficial both individual and company.
B: I don’t think that staff that performs well at work should always be rewarded. Motivation comes from job satisfaction instead of financial reward. In addition, staff should perform well since they get salary and fringe benefits. If they work overtime, they may get payment for working overtime. Of course, employer expects miracles from employees all the time. However, sometimes when the staff can repeat last year’s performance because of changeable conditions, the employer should not reduce his/her salary as well. Employer should give frequent compliment to the staff, if he or she performs well at work.解析： 暂无解析 -

Why is listening important in learning English?
Listening is important mainly for two reasons. First, we cannot develop speaking skills unless we also develop listening skills. To have a successful conversation, students must understand what is said to them. Later the ability to understand spoken English may become very important. Second, listening to spoken English is an important way of acquiring the language, while in our situation the students do not hear English spoken around them, so it is important for us to give our students as much opportunity as possible to listen to spoken English.

问答题◆Topic 10: Government’s Control of Violence in Media Questions for Reference: 1. What negative effects could be brought by the violence in films and on television to our society according to your observation? 2. Do you agree that the government’s control of the amount of violence in films and on television would limit our right of free speech? Why /Why not? 3. Some people put that it is in our best interest as a society for the government to censor broadcast media for violence. Do you think so? Why /Why not?正确答案： 【参考答案】
Whether the government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society involves a conflict between our right of free speech and the duty of the government to protect its citizenry from potential harm. In my view, our societal interest in preventing the harm that exposure to violence produces takes precedence over the rights of individuals to broadcast this type of content.
First of all, I believe that exposure to violence does indeed cause similar behavior on the part of those who are exposed to it. Although we may not have conclusive scientific evidence of a cause effect relationship, ample anecdotal evidence establishes a significant correlation. Moreover, both common sense and our experiences with children inform us that people tend to mimic the behavior they are exposed to.
Secondly, I believe that violence is indeed harmful to a society. The harm it produces is, in my view, both palpable and profound. For the individual, it has a debasing impact on vital human relationships: for the society, it promotes a tendency toward antisocial behavior. Both outcomes, in turn, tear apart the social fabric that holds a society together.
Those who advocate unbridled individual expression might point out that the right of free speech is intrinsic to a democracy and necessary to its survival. Even so, this right is not absolute, nor is it the most critical element. In my assessment, the interests served by restricting violence in broadcast media are, on balance, more crucial to the survival of a society.
In sum, it is in our best interest as a society the government to censor broadcast media for violence. Exposure to such media content tends to harm society and its citizenry in ways that are worth preventing, even in light of the resulting infringement of our right of free expression.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Q6: Do you think the location of a company’s premises is important for its competitiveness? (Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: I think the location of a company’s premises is important for its competitiveness. Location is vital to a company’s business. Companies should build themselves according to clients’ needs. There are a great number of uncertainties and worries about the competition, which in turn result in inefficient working. With a good location, you will have the edge over your competitors.
B: Company’s location is very important for its competitiveness. When your company is prominently located in a well-established and fast growing corporate business area, the site will be shared with an impressive selection of organizations and companies. A good location means easy access to public transport for the company with a great number of bus routes servicing the area. Metro stations will also be within walking distance. Evidently, a good location will be very helpful for you to access your suppliers and customers easily.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Q5: Apart from appraisal schemes, what other measures do you think are effective improving staff performance? (Why?)正确答案：
A: It is true that almost all organizations have the “quit-but-stay” employees who have severed their psychological contract with the organization. Many techniques are available to motivate staff, among which the most effective one is to give as much meaningful work as possible to employees. The less intrinsically interesting the work, the more needs to be done to make it acceptable such as job rotation, job enrichment and job sharing.
B: In addition to appraisal schemes, some other measures can be taken to improve staff performance, of which the most important one is to give staff due trustworthiness. If you believe in your staff, and trust your staff, you will give them the information and resources that they need to do a good job. Also through ongoing training make sure that employees have skills that are necessary to fulfill the requirements of the job. As a result, I believe, most of your staff members will certainly display their commitments to doing the job well.解析： 暂无解析
