31.C 关于某个话题发表演讲,应该用介词on。
32.A 该空后的compared与reported并列。表示并列关系应该用and,故选A。
33.B 此处its指代Harcourt Electronics’。故选B。
34.B 句意:然而,他指出员工千万不能松懈…。must not指“一定不能”。

问答题Passage 6 ● Read the advertisement below about the features of a website. ● Choose the correct word to fill each gap from A, B or C on the opposite page. ● For each question 29-40, mark one letter (A, B, or C) on your Answer Sheet.Our Features At insurance, co.uk we know (29)______ searching for the right insurance (30)______ be difficult but we make (31)______ easier for you. There are some great and unique features (32)______ on our site. They help you make the right choice, as well as saving you time and money. Our comprehensive policy comparison feature provides a simple and clear reference of (33)______ is, or isn’t, included (34)______ the cost of your car insurance policy. (35)______ you receive your car insurance quote results, we let you choose up to four insurers (36)______ compare the policy benefits and extras included. It’s an easy way (37)______ ensuing all your requirements are covered and helps you make the right decision (38)______ your insurance policy. We give you the option to compare potential car insurance providers by an independent service rating as well as price and policy benefits. Our simple five spot rating (39)______ based on overall customer satisfaction. It represents the scores given (40)______ previous or current customers of the insurer. 29. A that B this C those 30. A shall B should C can 31. A them B it C this 32. A include B including C included 33. A what B that C which 34. A to B of C in 35. A. Although B When C Because 36. A. And B but C As 37. A for B to C of 38. A by B on C with 39. A is B. Are C was 40. A from B by C to正确答案： 29.A 如果把this,that,those这三个选项看作指示形容词,this和that可以修饰不可数名词或可数名词的单数,this修饰的是前面提到过的名词,that修饰的是将要提到的名词。Those则是修饰可数名词的复数形式。因为上文没有被指代者,所以空格处不能填this;因为动名词searching应该看作不可数名词,所以不能填those。那么就只有that,而实际上that在这里不是指示形容词,而是作关系代词,引导一个宾语从句。因此A项正确。
30.C shall和should的意思都是“应该”,can表示“可能”。文中要表达的是可能性的推测。因此C项正确。
31.B 空格处所缺的词是一个代词,用以指代前面的“searching for the right insurance”,而动名词短语应该当作不可数名词看待,那么them应该首先排除。this可以看作是this one中的one省略掉的形式,然而this one只能指代可数名词的单数,所以也可以排除。it既可以指代不可数名词,也可以指代可数名词的单数。因此B项正确。
32.C 空格所在句子的结构是there be结构。在此结构中,句子的谓语就是be动词,所以应该排除include,因为一个单句是不能有两个谓语动词,而它是一个谓语动词。including和included都是非谓语动词,可以用来修饰“features”。但是因为“features”不是包括了网站而是被包括在网站里,所以应该用过去分词表示被动。因此C项正确。
33.A 关系代词的用法是本题考查的内容。虽然that、which、what都是关系代词,但是要与“…is,or isn’t,included…the cost of your car insurance policy”构成从句,作介词“of”的宾语,且要在其引导的从句中充当主语,就只能用what,因为“what”与“the thing(s)that”的意思相当。因此A项正确。
34.C “be included in…”的意思是“包括在…中”,因此C项正确。
35.B 在选择关联词时,需要理解句子之间的逻辑关系。although表示转折关系,because表示因果关系,应用到原句中会发现不符合逻辑。所以B项正确。
36.A 空格后的“compare”与前面的“choose”形成并列关系,而且没有转折的意思,因此应该选A。
37.C “the way to do sth.”或“the way of doing sth.”的意思是“做…的方法”,因此C项正确。
38.B “make a decision on sth.”意思是“对某事做出决定”,介词on有时用about替换,因此B项正确。
39.A “rating”是空格所在句子的主语,所以谓语动词应为第三人称单数,所以应排除“are”。又因为文中介绍的内容是一般情况,时态应该是一般现在时,所以应排除“was”。因此A项正确。
40.B 通过上下文的内容可知,依据客户对保险公司的满意度确立了五点评级体系(five spot rating),那么保险公司以前和现在的客户决定(previous or current customers of the insurer)保险公司的得分(scores),因此应该选B项。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Passage 7 ● Read the article below about the importance of hiring right people. ● Choose the correct word to fill each gap from A, B or C on the opposite page. ● For each question 29-40, mark one letter (A, B, or C) on your Answer Sheet.Hiring: Do You Know How Important to Pick Them? Your small business is growing, the market has a need (29)______ your product, and you’re recruiting employees to expand your business. What could possibly (30)______ wrong? The answer is, a lot, (31)______ you don’t hire the right people. One of the differences between businesses that boom and (32)______ that limp along is good employees. Obviously, your talent as an entrepreneur has a lot to do (33)______ the success of your business, but you (34)______ only go so far by yourself. You must find good employees, figure out (35)______ motivates them, and then place them into the right position. Hiring employees is (36)______ and requires a lot of patience and energy. You have to resist the temptation to fill the job quickly with one of the first few (37)______ who come along or (38)______ someone who is only sufficient (39)______ you want to stop (40)______ and get back to your business. 29. A for B to C in 30. A leave B come C go 31. A Although B if C but 32. A these B those C they 33. A on B in C with 34. A can B ought C shall 35. A what B that C which 36. A time-consume B time-consumed C time-consuming 37. A person B people C peoples 38. A hire B hires C hiring 39. A so B because C while 40. A interviews B interview C interviewing正确答案： 29.A “need”在“has”后面作名词的表达是“have a need for sth.”,意思是“需要某物”,所以A项正确。
30.C “go wrong”的意思是“出错,出问题”,这里的“go”作系动词。“leave”和“come”都是实义动词,形容词不能跟在其后作表语。因此C项正确。
31.B 对本题的三个选项进行分析可知,空格处所缺的词是关联词。“although”可以引导让步状语从句;“but”后面的句子应该与其前面的句子形成转折关系;“if”则是引导条件状语从句的。将这三个选项应用到原句发现A、C项会造成句子的逻辑不通。因此B项正确。
32.B 通过上下文看出空格所在句的语法结构是本题的解题关键。首先,空格处所缺的词作句子中“between”的宾语,因此选项“they”可以被排除。其次,由于“and”连接的并列结构,所以“(32)______that limp along”与之前的“businesses that boom”的句子结构是一样的,代表/表示“businesses”的词应该是空格处的单词。虽然“these”和“those”都是指示代词,指代提到的复数性名词,“those”指代将要提到的,而“these”一般指代前面提到过的。在本文章中,前面提到的蓬勃发展的“businesses”不是空格处的词需要指代的,而是将要提到的艰难前行的“businesses”才是指代的内容,所以要用“those”。因此B项正确。
33.C 固定短语“have something to do with” 是本题考查的内容,意思是“与…有关”。 “a lot”,“little”,“nothing”等词可以替换该短语中的“something”一词,表示不同的意思:“have a lot to do with”意思是“与…有很大关系”,“have little to do with”的意思是“与…几乎没有关系”,“have nothing to do with” 的意思是“与…没有任何关系”。因此C项正确。
34.A 情态动词的用法本题考查的内容。“can”意思是“能够”;“ought”必须与“to”连用,意思是“应该”;“shall”也表示“应该”,但要跟在“I”或“we”的后面。根据上下文的意思,应该选择表示“能够”而不是“应该”之意的词,所以A项正确。
35.A 关系代词的用法是本题考查的内容。这里figure out的宾语是空格处所缺的词与其后面的“motivates them”构成的从句,而且空格处的词在其引导的从句中充当主语。虽然that、which和what这三个选项都能引导宾语从句,但是当引导词既要作从句的主语而且不表示具体的意思时,就只能填what,因为“what”做引导词时意思与“the thing(s)that”相同;that、which不能体现这个意思。因此A项正确。
36.C “time-consuming”的意思是“费时的,耗时的”,因此C项正确。
37.B 根据空格后面的“who come along”这个定语从句中的谓语动词的形式可以判断,空格处的词应该是单数形式但意思表示的是复数概念的名词或可数名词的复数形式,所以可以排除“person”文章在这里谈论的是如何选人,“people”是个表复数概念的名词,但是其复数形式“peoples”的意思是“各民族”,所以应排除“peoples”。因此B项正确。
38.A 由于“or”连接两个并列的句子,所以前面的“to fill the job quickly with one of the first few people who come along”和后面的“…someone who is only sufficient”句子结构应该一样,这里是与“to”构成不定式,修饰“temptation”,因此,动词原形应该是正确的形式。所以A项正确。
39.B 根据文章最后一段的第一句话可知,句子“you want to stop…and get back to your business”是表明这样做的原因,而非结果,所以可以排除“so”。“while”表示“而”,表示两个动作的对比。因此表示原因的B项正确。
40.C 根据上下文的意思可知,这里是停止面试而回去工作,“stop doing sth.”的意思是“停止做某事”,所以C项正确。解析： 暂无解析 -

Dominic Noble has to find out how the company performed last year. 10. Benjamin Tidswell wants the address of his nearest Sky Systems dealer.正确答案： 6.G 本题的意思是:Adam Smith对他所买的一些产品不满意。由此可知他应该选择G项“顾客投诉”(Customer Complaints)。
7.A 这句话的意思是:Rachel Cains想要找出公司什么时候开始交易的。这是属于公司历史(Company History)这一方面的,所以选A。
8.B 本题的意思是:Hazel Thomas想要知道人事主管的名字。人事部门应该属于公司组织(Company Organization),所以选B。
9.C 这句话的意思是:Dominic Noble想要找出公司去年的表现如何。C项“年度报告”中会包括公司去年的业绩。
10.F 本题的意思是:Benjamin Tidswell需要离他最近的Sky Systems经销商的地址。由此可知他应该选择F项“零售店”。解析： 暂无解析 -

CThe light bulb and the phonograph were extremely successful inventions by Edison.
正确答案： A,B解析：
文段中提到，Thomas Edison was “one of the world’s most prestigious inventors”，因此，A项正确；文段中提到concrete furniture 是爱迪生的一项失败的发明，但并没有说明它是爱迪生唯一一项失败的发明，因此，B不正确；C项也是正确的，因为文章举例说明了爱迪生在世界上富有威望的原因，正是因为他发明了light bulb以及phonograph。 -

Many were enjoyable to read (29)______ weren’t taken seriously. (30)______ told their readers to dress well, be positive, decide (31)______ they were going and then use (32)______ valuable minute to make sure they got there. One very successful book, first published twenty years (33)______ and still available in bookshops, is The One-Minute Manager. It tells the story of a keen young man who wants to learn (34)______ about how to be a top-performing executive. The authors believe that most people (35)______ the day putting (36)______ problems, or when they do try to solve (37)______ don’t do enough. According (38)______ the authors, having achievable targets should be a manager’s aim. Managers everywhere should read (39)______ book carefully, in order to benefit from (40)______ sensible advice. 29. A but B or C even 30. A It B They C We 31. A where B who C why 32. A some B. All C every 33. A before B. Ago C since 34. A lot B much C more 35. A spend B spending C spent 36. A. About B over C off 37. A them B these C those 38. A for B from C to 39. A the B one C. A 40. A their B his C its正确答案： 29.A 根据句子结构可知,这里需要一个连词,even属副词,不作连接词,可以排除。空格前的意思是“很多人乐于去读这些书”;空格后的意思是“他们不认真对待”,由此可知前后意思是转折的关系,所以选but。or为并列连词,含有选择意义,必须连接同等成分的词、短语或句子,并使用同一种形式。
30.B 这里缺少一个主语,结合选项可知这里应该是一个人称代词。根据句意,空格处应指代的是books,所以选第三人称代词的复数形式they。
31.A 空格处所填的词与后面的内容构成宾语从句,作decide的宾语。where用作连接副词,可以引导宾语从句,所以选A。
32.C 空格后的minute用的是单数形式,这三个选项中只有every能够修饰名词单数形式,所以选every。
33.B 这里应该表示的是过去的时间点,所以选ago。twenty years ago意为“二十年前”。 before既可作副词,也可作介词,如在three hours before中为副词。在before three o’clock中为介词,但要注意before不能在表示“一段时间”的词前作介词,不能说before twenty years,可说twenty years ago。
34.C 这里的意思是“这本书讲述了一个敏锐的年轻人的故事,他想要学习更多如何成为表现出色的执行总监”,所以选代词more。
35.A believe后面跟的是that从句,而且整篇文章用的都是现在时,主语是复数形式,所以用动词原形spend。
36.C or后面提到了另外一种情况,即是“他们试图去解决问题,但是做得还不够”,故可知这里应该是不去解决问题。put off固定搭配,意为“推迟,拖延”,用在文中符合文意。
37.A 这里需要填入一个代词,指代problems,所以选复数第三人称的宾格形式them。
38.C according to固定搭配,意为“根据”。
39.A 前文中提到了这本书,所以选定冠词the。
40.C 这里指这本书中明智的建议,所以应该选物主代词的所有格形式its。解析： 暂无解析 -

To: Mr Bryant, Manager
From: J Smith, Trainee
Date: 12th Sept.1998
Subject: Daily Newspapers
After looking into the problem of the staff’s missing newspapers, I find out that there seem to be two main explanations for it.
Before the arrival of the receptionist, some staff not entitled to the newspapers nevertheless take them from the reception area.
There are surplus newspapers when staff are absent or away on business trips, so other employees not entitled to them tend to pick them up.
I think the solution is to ask the deliveryman to place the newspapers in a container, the keys of which are only available to him and the receptionist. For the receptionist, a list of staff entitled to the newspapers should be made and the names should be ticked off daily as and when the papers are collected. When staff entitled to the newspapers are going to be away for some time, the receptionist should be informed so as to cancel their papers.
It is inevitable that sometimes there are still surplus newspapers, so I would recommend that these be distributed at the discretion of the receptionist. Please let me know if any action needs to be taken.解析： 暂无解析 -

James Bensen is going to buy a house in another country.正确答案： 6.E 本题的意思是“John Shawn想卖掉他的房子。”与房地产有关的文章是B、E、G这三篇文章,但B是关于国外买房的,而G是关于土地投资,因为E是与卖房有关的,这里的“Property”表示“房产”,所以E项正确。
7.C 本题的意思是“Robin Seaton负责招聘新员工。”面试是招聘新员工时必不可少的一个步骤,所以Robin Seaton应该读的文章是文章C “How to Conduct an Interview?”。因此C项正确。
8.F 本题的意思是“Thomas Kingsley正在找工作。”文章H是此题的干扰项,这篇文章描述的是入错行的五个迹象,针对的对象主要在职者。而Thomas Kingsley最应该读的文章是文章F“诚实是求职者的最佳策略”,因此F项正确。
9.A 本题的意思是“Mary Kay想在网上做生意。”根据A文章的题目可知,A文章应该是关于网上做生意的,所以在网上做生意的人应该了解本文章的内容,所以A项正确。
10.B 本题的意思是“James Bensen要在其他的国家买房子。”James Bensen应该读的文章是文章B“在国外购房的注意事项”。因此B项正确。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 2 ‘Mini presentation’—about 6 minutes In this part of the test you are asked to give a short talk on a business topic. You have to choose one of the topics from the three below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas. A WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? NEGOTIATING ● COMPROMISE ● DISPUTE ●... B WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? EMPLOYING TECHNICAL WRITERS ● BEING ABLE TO WRITE WELL ● MEETING TIGHT DEADLINES ●... C WHAT IS IMPORTANT WHEN…? MANAGING A COMPANY ● COMMUNICATION ● EXECLLENT MANAGER ●...正确答案： 【参考范例】
Mini-representation One:
I think when managing a company one of the most important features is communication. Good communication is necessary at all stages of the business process, which can contribute to a successful business.
Within individual companies internal communication occurs at, and between the various levels. Directors communicate with one another in term of the company’s overall strategy. They inform managers of their plans, and the managers then communicate with other employees to convey their messages. Negotiations are conducted with regard to pay and working conditions. Managers express their decisions and orders through good communication, which can achieve the aim of improving morale and motivation. Employees also communicate with each other, for example, over production, wages and their spare activities.
Reliable and effective communication is one of the key elements which lead to efficient management of a company.
Question: Can you tell me other vital elements which result in efficient management of a company?
Answer: Many requirements are important for the efficient management of a company, both internal and external. We need good communication, good staff and managers, smooth flow of the capital, the full cooperation between the company, etc.
Mini-representation Two
Firstly, it is of very importance to be able to write well. This means not only knowing the basic rules of spelling, grammar and punctuation, but also having the competence to condense and organise sophisticated information to make it accessible to the public. A good writer must also be capable of dealing with meeting tight deadlines. Secondly, as far as career prospects are concerned, after acquiring valuable experience, many technical writers have the opportunity of working on managerial roles. They may then have the responsibility for the work of other writers within a particular company, or they may prefer to become contractors. This means selling their services through an agency employing many freelance technical writers, whose services are charged to companies at an hourly rate.
Question: What do you think which factor is more significant, being able to writer well or meeting tight deadlines? Why?
Answer: I think neither of them can be ignored. We need technical writers not only being able to write well but also being competent to meet tight deadlines.解析： 暂无解析 -
第17题：
问答题The extract below comes from an article which appeared in a magazine called Society Today. You read the extract and have strong feelings about its contents, and decide to write an article, in which you respond to the points made and express your own views. You should write the article in no fewer than 120 words. Now write your letter on the answer sheet.正确答案：
The Influence of Popular CultureIt seems that image and appearance are attracting more and more attention in the modern world which is full of material desires. Some believe that it is the rise of popular culture including the media, sport and the fashion industry to blame. It is definitely true that this has somewhat brought about some shallow and egoistic people. However, we absolutely should not attribute this to the popular culture itself.
Popular culture, opposite to exquisite culture, is easy to appreciate and comprehend and is oriented to the common people. Being popular does not mean emphasizing the appearance. The reason why they mislead some people is that they have developed a false concept in their mind. They believe anything popular must be presentational and only related to outer appearance.
Whether the influence of popular culture is positive or negative depends on how people perceive and treat them. Properly used, they can instruct and entertain the public; on the contrary, they can also produce a generation of skin-deep people.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 7 ● Look at the list below. It shows the departments of a company. ● For questions 6-10, decide in which department (A-H) each person on the opposite page works. ● For each question, mark one letter (A-H) on your Answer Sheet. ● Do not use any letter more than once. A Customer service department B Design department C Engineering department D Facilities department E Finance department F Human resources department G Legal department H Shipping and receiving department 6. Richard Saunders is responsible for accepting materials from their suppliers. 7. John Knight and his team are responsible for the maintenance of the company building. 8. Gina Theismann is dealing with the complaints from a customer. 9. Robin Seaton is working on the training plan for the new employees. 10. Helen Marsden and her team are making the company’s budget for next year.正确答案： 6.H 本题的意思是“Richard Saunders负责从他们的供货商那里接收材料。”对外运送产品或材料和接受供货商提供的材料是Shipping and receiving department的主要职责。所以应选H项。
7.D 本题的意思是“John Knight和他的团队负责维护公司大楼。”维护公司的各种设施和设备,包括公司的大楼等建筑是Facilities department的职责, 因此应选D项。
8.A 本题的意思是“Gina Theismann正在处理顾客投诉。”为客户提供帮助,并尽可能使他们感到满意就是Customer service department(客服服务部)的职责。当客户有不满意之处,当然也会向客户服务部投诉。因此应选A项。
9.F 本题的意思是“Robin Seaton正在为新员工制定培训计划。”Human resources department(人力资源部)也称为Personnel department,它的职责很多,包括员工的聘用、解雇、薪酬、培训、绩效评估等。因此F项正确。
10.E 本题的意思是“Helen Marsden和她的团队正在制作公司明年的预算。”管理公司所有与财务有关的事务的部门是Finance department,它通常还包括预算部(budget department)、会计部(accounting department) 和薪酬部(payroll department)。因此E项正确。解析： 暂无解析 -

30.B 此处应与主句谓语时态保持一致,用过去时。
31.A which引导非限制性定语从句,指代前文提到的“按我的要求换机器”。
32.B again表示这台机器又出毛病了,而非其他机器。故用指示代词this。
33.A 此处为转折关系,表示虽然上个问题解决了,但又出现了一个新的问题。
34.C 此处when指“当…的时候”,文中指“当洗衣机开始排水时,机身颤动的非常厉害”。
35.B 句法结构so…that…意为“如此…以至于…”。此处表明机器摇晃的如此厉害以至于洗衣机自动停下来了。
36.C 上半句为否定句,后半句也用否定句,从而进一步说明厂家不负责任的态度。否定句的“也”可用neither/nor表示。
37.B come back from work意为“下班回家”。
38.A 由于机器出毛病,所以是没洗成。un-为否定前缀。类似的前缀还有im-,al-,ir-, il-等。
39.C 句意:这就是你们所说的“全自动”洗衣机吗?此处what引导宾语从句。
40.B 前一句顾客要求换一台新洗衣机。后一句顾客提到会要求退钱,或者向消费者协会投诉。由此可知此处应该为otherwise“否则”。解析： 暂无解析 -
第20题：
问答题Practice 1Directions: In this part of the test, you will answer three questions based on the information provided. You will have 30 seconds to read the information before the questions begin. For each question, begin responding immediately after you hear a beep. No additional preparation time is provided. You will have 15 seconds to respond to Questions 1 and 2 and 30 seconds to respond to Question 3.Practice 1 Question 1: How much are tickets? Question 2: I heard Time Against Time was coming out. Is it playing there yet? Question 3: I might not be able to go to the theater until 7:30. Which movies are playing at around that time?正确答案： 1: It’s eight dollars and ninety-five cents for adult tickets. And for kids, it’s five dollars and ninety-five cents.
或:An adult ticket is eight ninety-five and a ticket for a child is five ninety-five.
解 析:解答本类题型最重要的是从屏幕显示的文件或日程表中快速找到问题对应的部分从而作答。本题问How much…询问的是价格,所以在日程表下面找到票价作答。记住dollar和cent后面要加复数-s,dollar和cent之间要用and连接。
2:Yes, it is playing in the theater, and it plays at several different times.
或:Yes, it is being shown at the theater at present.
解 析:本部分的问题通过录音形式播放,不会显示在屏幕上,所以更要集中注意力听好。这道题用不含疑问词的疑问句提问,所以首先要回答Yes或No,再做进一步必要的说明。虽然可以直接使用提问中的is playing表示“上映”,但此处使用is being shown更体现多样的表达能力。
3:Well, you have many choices. At seven forty, Geneva is playing and five minutes later, Whispers in the Silence is playing. And a little bit later, at ten to eight, Rabbit Stew is going to start.
或:At seven forty we’re showing Geneva, and Whispers in the Silence will start five minutes later. You could also see Rabbit Stew at seven fifty.
解 析:本题要求考生综合所给的事件或信息进行说明。以上问题询问某个特定时间段有些什么电影,所以要恰当使用时间状语从句回答。说时间时,除了答案中所用的方法外,还可使用以下这种方法。7:40 twenty to eight;7:45 quarter to eight;7:50 ten to eight。解析： 暂无解析 -

第24题：
问答题Passage 8 ● Read the magazine article below about a company which checks on the service provided by shops. ● Choose the correct word to fill each gap, from A, B or C on the opposite page. ● For each question 29-40, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.SECRET SHOPPERS Tim Wright knows all about making companies more efficient. His firm, Check-up, sends ‘secret shoppers’ into retail and leisure companies (29)______ order to make sure that customers are receiving good service. After (30)______ visit, the secret shoppers prepare a report for the company to let them know (31)______ good or bad the service was. ‘Companies like to know,’ says Mr. Wright, ‘that (32)______ customers go into a store just a few minutes before closing time, they will (33)______ get good service.’ Check-up (34)______ set up in the west of England in 1992 and (35)______ two years moved to London so it could offer a nationwide service. (36)______ the last three years, Check-up’s profits have (37)______ dramatically as companies have come to realize (38)______ great importance of good customer service. Having started with just; three employees, Check-up now has a staff (39)______ sixty-five and last week (40)______ an important new contract with a major supermarket chain. 29. A in B by C on 30. A our B his C their 31. A whether B how C if 32. A while B when C. As 33. A still B yet C. Already 34. A has B is C was 35. A until B. After C later 36. A From B During C Since 37. A increase B increasing C increased 38. A this B that C the 39. A of B. At C too 40. A sign B signed C signing正确答案： 29.A in order to固定搭配,意为“目的是……”,这里的意思是“他的公司,Check-up,会派遣秘密的购物者去零售和休闲公司,目的是保证顾客收到良好的服务”。
30.C 这里需要填入的是人称代词的所有格形式,又因为此处指的是“secret shoppers”,所以用复数第三人称的所有格形式,their。
31.B how可以修饰形容词、副词、动词,“how good or bad the service was”作动词know的宾语,意思是“服务有多么地好或者是有多么地不好”。如果选A项,则正确的形式是whether the service was good or bad。whether用作连词,意思是“是否,是不是”,可与or或or not连用,除引出宾语从句外,还可引出主语从句、表语从句、同位语从句或与不定式连用,但其后不接形容词。
32.B 词义辨析题。While、when和as这些连词均可表示“当…时”引出时间状语从句。when所引导的从句,其谓语动词既可是持续动词,也可是短暂动词;谓语动词动作发生的时间可以与主句谓语动词的动作是同时,或之前、之后。这里的“go into a store”发生在主句中的“get good service”之前,所以选when。而while句中的谓语动词应为持续动词,不用短暂动词,谓语动作发生的时间通常与主句谓语动词动作发生时间是同时。as侧重指从句与主句的动作同时进行,谓语动词可以是持续性的,可以是短暂性动词。
33.A still用作副词时,意思是“还,仍旧,尚”,这里的意思是“他们仍然会得到良好的服务”。而yet多用于疑问句或否定句。already一般用于肯定句中,与动词搭配时,静态动词多用一般式,动态动词多用完成式,already不用于一般将来时。
34.C 空格后提到了一个时间点“in 1992”,由此可知这里应该是过去时,所以选was。
35.B 这里的意思是“两年后搬到了伦敦”,所以选after。
36.B during可以表示一定时间中的某个时间点,意思是“当…之际”;还可表示一定时间中的某个时间段,意思是“在…期间”;during也可表示延续某事件的全过程,意思是“在…整个期间内”。所以这里选during,意思是“在过去的三年里”。from只表示某事的起点,后面接的是一个时间点,而这里“the last three years”是一个时间段,所以可以排除from。since用作介词的意思是“从…以来,自从…之后”,其宾语常指过去的一个时间点,所以since也可以排除。
37.C 这里是现在完成时,所以应该用increase的过去分词形式increased。
38.C the importance of意为“…的重要性”,常用表达方式。
39.A of用于说明数量、价值或年龄,a staff of sixty-five意为“六十五个员工”。
40.B 空格前出现了last week,故可知这里的时态是过去时,所以选signed。解析： 暂无解析
