Passage 14Questions 8—12  ● Read the article below about GE.  ● Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.  ● For each gap (8—12), mark one letter (A—G) on your Answer Sheet.  ● Do not use any letter more than once.  ● There is an example at the beginning, (0).A slipping crown  For decades America’s General Electric (GE) has worn its AAA credit rating as a badge of pride. The company has also used it to mint money in its financial-services business, GE Capital. No longer (0)______. That added insult to the injury that GE has already suffered.  Last year the outfit generated a profit of $8.6 billion or almost 48% of GE’s total earnings. By exploiting its AAA rating, GE Capital was able to raise capital cheaply and then deploy it to fund everything from commercial-property and home loans to credit-card lending and insurance. (8)______. Announcing its decision to downgrade the business, S&P predicted rising credit losses in coming months in several areas of GE Capital’s portfolio.  Although GE’s demotion from AAA was bad news, it triggered a rise in the firm’s shares, which had recently been trading at about the same price as one of the light bulbs that the company makes. (9)______. They may also have taken comfort from the agency’s conclusion that GE’s industrial businesses should continue to pump oodles of cash, in spite of the global downturn.  Yet some financial analysts are still fretting that GE Capital’s portfolio may contain more nasty surprises. (10)______. They also wonder out loud whether Moody’s, another rating agency, will take a more pessimistic view of GE’s prospects when it finishes a review of the AAA rating that it still assigns to the firm.  Next week GE plans to hold an in-depth briefing on the state of the assets in GE Capital’s portfolio, which will help to dispel the cloud still hanging over the business. It has also been telling anyone who will listen that it doesn’t expect this week’s downgrade to have a significant impact on its business, though it does plan to keep shrinking GE Capital’s activities so that the unit represents no more than 30% of total profit. (11)______. GE is sitting on $48 billion of cash and has already raised over 90% of its long-term debt needs for this year—no mean feat in a dire credit market.  The company also plans to slash its dividend from the second half of 2009, which it reckons to conserve an additional $9 billion a year on an ongoing basis. (12)______.. In his annual letter to shareholders published recently, Mr. Immelt admitted that GE’S reputation had been “tarnished”.  A. This has made some of the company’s small investors apoplectic; they have grown used to juicy dividend payments.  B. Jeff Immelt, GE’s CEO, has said that the overall company will continue to manage itself like a AAA-rated firm, notably by keeping plenty of liquidity to hand.  C. Resolving lingering doubts over GE Capital quickly will be essential if one of America’s most iconic companies is to regain its shine.  D. They point out that the business does not mark many of its assets to their market price—a practice that has blown huge holes in the finances of many big banks.  E. No doubt investors were relieved that S&P didn’t make an even deeper cut in the company’s rating.  F. But the chaos triggered by the credit crunch has taken the shine off GE’s cash machine, which has seen some of its property and other loans turn sour.  G. S&P stripped the company and its financial arm of their top-notch ratings, downgrading them to AA-plus.

    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。

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。

An advertising trainee has read a research report on the importance of design and packaging and would like more information.  10. Computer services provider McDonald wants to find out about ways of making useful contacts in other companies.

    正确答案: 6.G 题干中的关键信息为 a talk on the benefits of updating employees’ marketing skills。要听关于提高雇员营销技能好处的讲座,就该去Well-trained staff—an important marketing too1“训练有素的员工是重要的营销工具”这个讲座。
    7.D 欲了解the effectiveness of computer graphics when giving talks to major clients“计算机图形在向客户介绍产品时的好处”时,应该去听 IT in presentations—what’s available and how to use it“演讲时利用IT技术的好处和怎样使用它”的讲座。
    8.B 题干中的关键信息为advertises 和make more effective use of the company’s website“更好地利用该公司网站登广告”,因此应去Improving e-marketing performance“改善网络营销的业绩”的讲座。
    9.F 一名广告行业的学员希望学习更多关于设计和包装知识,那么他应该去听的讲座是 Making the appearance of products more attractive“使产品外观更加漂亮”。

Strained trade relations between the two countries make it less likely that American companies will get their share of these contracts. (11)______.. In both the North and South, Americans are highly regarded, and American companies are welcomed as a counter-balance to Japanese, Chinese, and European investment.

The U.S. response to defeat was to block international did and forbid American companies to do business there.  C. Moreover, despite the conflicts of the past, Vietnam could be a tremendous ally for the U.S.  D. It’s time now to move toward establishing normal ties with Vietnam whose economy is growing 8% a year.  E. To start with,Vietnam will sign contracts involving billions on telecommunications,power plants,and airliners.  F. Given the trouble of Clinton Administration’s foreign policy,the issue will be held in suspension.  G. That would give Vietnam equal footing with most other countries,including Russia and—at least for now—China.

    正确答案: 8.C  本空前一句话说“但是,这还不够”。此句中的应该承接前一句话,选项C 中的开头moreover正好相符,意思是“尽管过去有冲突,对于美国来说越南可以成为一大伙伴”。这是可以当做是美国给予越南最惠国待遇的一个理由。由此可见,正确答案是C。
    9.D  空格前一句“关键的一步是给予越南最惠国的地位,让越南的产品以最优惠的税率进入美国”。这里的tariff rate意为“税率”。空格后一句“为什么要给予越南最惠国待遇”。由此可以推断空格处所填的内容应该是美国与越南建立的关系。D项“现在是时候向前行,与每年经济增长率为8%的越南建立正常的关系”符合题意。
    10.E  此空格后一句话的意思是“两国紧张的贸易关系使得美国公司不可能得到这些合同中属于他们的份额”。这里的these contracts应该指代空格里的内容,由此可以推断空格处会出现与合同有关的内容,只有E项符合。
    11.G  在剩余的选项A、G、F中,A、F项中都出现the issue这与空格前面的内容不符,故可以给予排除。G项中的that指代前文中的内容,意思是“这样会使得越南与俄罗斯,至少现在是中国的大多数的国家处于平等的地位”。
    12.F  空格前一句的意思是“给予越南特惠国待遇肯定会引起争议的”。F项句中的the issue指代前一句的Granting MFN to Vietnam,意思是“假如克林顿政府外交政策上遇到麻烦,这个问题将会暂时搁置起来”;全句内容与后一句正好是转折关系,由But联接故F为最佳答案。

Tim Longman wants to have a general knowledge of the development of Ireland.  9. Scott Forrest needs to know the locations of the agency’s offices.  10. Joshua Golder wants to find out which companies have invested in Ireland.

    正确答案: 6.B 本题的意思是“Sarah Lee想要了解爱尔兰在研究方面的实力。”“Research and Innovation”(研究与创新)部分应该会介绍爱尔兰的研究情况。因此应该选B。
    7.E 本题的意思是“Barrie Watson需要一份董事会成员的名单。”“Board and Committees of the Board 2007”中应该会有对发展署董事会的介绍。对董事会成员的介绍以及对各个委员会功能及其成员的介绍通常会包括在报告中的这个部分。所以E为正确选项。
    8.A 本题的意思是“Tim Longman想要初步了解一下爱尔兰的发展情况。”公司或组织的年度报告中“Chairman and CEO Overview”中一般会包含对发展情况的简略描述。公司的发展概况一般也包括在这个部分。所以A项正确。
    9.G 本题的意思是“Scott Forrest需要知道发展署的各个办事处的地点。”该机构的构成情况会在“Organisational Structure and IDA Offices”这个部分中给予简单的介绍,并且IDA在各地的办事处的地址及联系方式也会出现在这个部分,所以正确选项为G。
    10.C 本题的意思是“Joshua Golder想要弄清哪些公司已经在爱尔兰投资了。”关键词“invest”可以作为本题的解题线索,根据排除法即可发现C项正确。爱尔兰投资的主要企业会在年度报告的“Investment High—lights”这一部分列举出来。因此C项正确。

    Passage 7  ● Read the text about career-planning services.  ● Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.  ● For each gap 9-14, mark one letter(A-H)on your Answer Sheet.  ● Do not use any letter more than once.  ● There is an example at the beginning (0).Real Training for All-Action Managers  Learning by doing is familiar to every manager sent on a training course. Invariably this involves role-play based on studies of long-ago triumphs and disasters from a relevant industry or organization. The problem is, any experience of decision-making gained from role-play has one obvious shortcoming: it is not real life.  To tackle this dilemma, some of the best-known companies have set up the International Management Development Consortium, which provides a range of executive development programmes for staff members. (9)______. What this means is that they involve “action learning” through real-life situations, and participants work as problem-solving consultants on projects within companies engaged in day-to-day business.  (10)______. Within this they also take training and refresher courses in traditional business skills such as finance, marketing, staff management and strategic planning. These disciplines are taught by a mix of academics, business people and senior managers from Consortium companies who also monitor the consultancy work.  (11)______. Generally, those who choose to attend the course come from various countries, reflecting the multi-national nature of companies within the Consortium. (12)______. As a result of this cross-cultural exchange, the people on the course learn a great deal from each other—and often keep in contact on a professional level long after the end of their course.  The Consortium says language difficulties are not a problem when consultancies are undertaken for foreign companies on site. A translator is on hand to deal with difficulties which arise from technical terms or jargon.  (13)______. This is because they are not charged consultancy fees, although a nominal sum is payable for administration. The funding for the scheme is provided by each Consortium member who contributes to the cost of running the training courses, and the amount involved is considerably less than fees charged by leading business schools, (14)______. “it is,” says the Chairman, “a real learning experience with techniques that can easily be used back at work. ”  A. They are being offered by companies who are aware of the benefits of the range of knowledge offered by the people on the course.  B. As well as the savings, there are also the dividends it pays in the form of improved staff performance.  C. The difference between these programmes and the average executive course, however, is that these courses are based on the concept of “live” consultancy.  D. In this way, participants can also benchmark themselves against the best members from a range of Consortium companies.  E. This means that within every training group there will be a wide variety of experience, which is discussed and explored by the group.  F. Typically, groups of up to six course members undertake projects as part of this development programme.  G. Another major adHigher is that these companies usually get their problems solved very cheaply.  H. Managers are typically cast as key figures in these dramas; the comparisons are made later between how they dealt with the fictional situation and the actual event.

    正确答案: 9.C 此空前一句提到许多知名公司设立了“国际管理发展研究会”并为成员们提供广泛的培训项目。选项C提出“these programmes”与一般的行政管理课程的不同。符合上下文。
    10.F 该空后一句指出“Within this they also take training and refresher courses…”,“this”与选项F中的“development programme”指代相同,前后连贯。
    11.A 前一段提到许多参加培训课程的学员也同时参加了部分课题的研究工作,选项A对这些研究项目进行讨论。起到承接上文的作用。
    12.E 前一句提到那些选择参加课题培训的学员来自不同的国家,而后一句“As a result of this cross-cultural exchange…”。故空缺处应该指出来自不同国家成员的交流。
    13.G 前面一段提到在培训课上由各公司学员们的跨文化背景所带来的一项好处。选项G提到“Another major adHigher…”。则对另一个优点进行介绍。
    14.D 空缺处后一句指出“It’s a real learning experience with techniques that can easily be used back at work. ”。选项D则指出培训参加者们还能向研究会中的许多最好的成员学习,研究并改善自己公司的状况。符合上下文。

D Management Communication Techniques  E Five Tips on Advertising Your Property  F Honesty Proves Best Policy for Job Hunter  G Land Investment—An Investors’ Guideline  H Five Signs You’re in the Wrong Job  6. John Shawn wants to sell his house.  7. Robin Seaton is responsible for recruiting new staff.  8. Thomas Kingsley is looking for a new job.  9. Mary Kay would like to start business on the Internet.  10. 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。

    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.

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)。

    Passage 6  ● Read the text below about some of America’s newspapers, which are facing extinction, unless they evolve.  ● Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.  ● For each gap 9-14, mark one letter(A-H) on your Answer Sheet.  ● Do not use any letter more than once.  ● There is an example at the beginning (0).On the brink  The New York Times was once the best example of all that was great about American newspapers. The Grey Lady’s circulation is tumbling down another 3.9% according to the latest data from America’s Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC). (9)______.  Pick almost any American newspaper company and you can tell a similar story. The ABC reported that for the 530 biggest daily newspapers, average circulation in the past six months was 3.6% lower than in the same period a year earlier. As for Sunday papers, it was 4.6% lower.  Ad revenues are plunging across the board: by 22.3% at Media General, for example. In 2007 total newspaper revenues fell to $42.2 billion. (10)______.  Much of this decline is being blamed on the rise of the Internet, which offers free, round-the-clock coverage. What’s more, Internet has provided a new, better home for classified advertising, which was once the source of most newspapers’ revenue. (11)______. The number one cause is the troublesome housing market, which contributes a large slice of classified advertising.  Industry experts such as Lucas Rich Fine of Kent State University do not think that the Times is responding forcefully enough. (12)______. Mr. Fine also points out that although all newspapers are being affected by the Internet, their ability to respond will probably depend on whether their audiences are national, metropolitan or local. The first category can afford to invest in distinctive international or business coverage, while the last can prosper by becoming ‘more intensely local’. But he fears that the big metropolitan newspapers may find themselves trapped in the middle.  Not all is lost, however. (13)______. For instance, a number of newspapers are becoming ‘information and connection utilities’, through such offerings as local internet forums. The Pocono Record has renamed reporters ‘content managers’, since they oversee all the coverage of their beat, both in print and online, and get a bonus for higher web traffic.  The hero for industry optimists is Brian Tierney, a former public-relations executive. Last year, he led a group of investors that borrowed heavily to buy Philadelphia’s two main dailies. (14)______. He is also finding new ways to drum up advertising, such as introducing a business column sponsored by a local bank.  A. Certainly, it was not something to be sniffed at, but much less than the peak of $48.7 billion in 2000.  B. However, some of the fall in revenues is actually due to the economic slowdown in America.  C. Its advertising revenues are down, too, 12.5% lower in March than a year earlier.  D. He has since revived them with a vigorous marketing drive.  E. Nevertheless, as a major newspaper, it still boasts a well-educated readership.  F. Plenty of innovation is taking place, particularly at local papers.  G. ‘Now is the time to beef up its business section’ he says.  H. Now it symbolizes the difficult situation the whole industry is faced with.

    正确答案: 9.C “它的广告收入也下降了,与上年同时段相比3月份下降了l2. 5%。”本段主要阐述了纽约时报所处的艰难境况,而且前文也指出它的发行量大幅下降,最新的数据显示又下跌了3. 9%。选项C中的down和too这两个词很好地表明它是与前面的内容相连接,继续讲述纽约时报的艰难处境。
    10.A “当然, 这一数目不容轻视,只是与2000年巅峰时期的487亿美元相比,它还相差甚远。”因为前文提到“In 2007 total newspaper revenues fell to$42. 2 billion. ”, 我们将期待在空格处会显示以前的收益水平,以便能够进行具体的比较。而且选项A的it指代的内容正是前文中讲到的422亿美元收益,因此A为正确答案。
    11.B “但是,有些报界收益下跌是由于美国经济衰退而引起的。”本段落主要分析了导致报界萧条的原因。空格前面的两句话总结出互联网的兴盛是报界萧条的原因,空格后面的一句话指出了困难重重的房地产市场也是其中的一个原因。对空格前后的内容进行分析发现,空格处需要介绍与房地产衰退有关的内容,而且要有逻辑关系的转变,因此判断正确答案为B。
    12.G 他说:“现在是时候充实它的商业板块了。”本题需要结合空格所在的上下文得出答案,其前面的一句话中出现了行业专家的名字“Lucas Rich Fine”和“the Times”这两个内容,选项G中的指代性信息he和its分别找到了指代的具体内容。而其后一句又出现了“Mr. Fine also points out…”,因此可以判断本题的答案是G。
    13.F “报界正在进行很多创新和改革, 尤其是一些地方报纸。”本空格所在的段落的首句“Not all is lost, however. ”,其句意是“然而, 并非全盘皆输了”。这是一个承上启下的句子,它与上一段的关系是一个转折关系,这使我们预期所填的内容应该是令人鼓舞的、积极的事情。另外,空格后面的句子讲述了一家报纸进行改革创新的例子,因此本题答案是F。
    14.D “他使用充满活力的市场驱动策略使它们恢复生机”。根据空格所在的上下文, 可以发现“Brian Tierney”和“Philadelphia’s two main dailies”(费城的两大主要日报)分别是选项D中的he和them所指代的具体内容。 由此可以判断本题的答案是D。

    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。

    正确答案: 8.E  本空格的前文中提到营销管理(marketing management)和零售(retailing)的培训课程,这里需要寻找指代或重复上述内容的词语。只有E项中的this specialized training(这种专业培训)指代上述培训,并且与前文衔接连贯。
    9.G  空格所在的此段主要介绍以前的工作经验的。后文中出现了for example,也即是后面的内容是对空格的举例说明。后文介绍了组织红酒研讨会和工作职责,这与G项的“varied assignments with appropriate responsibilities”(各种各样的工作任务和职责)相照应。
    10.B  空格前面介绍了他的工作内容。在剩余选项中,只有B项中的this kind of work能与前文照应,故选B。
    11.A  空格前讲他为慈善组织和其他的组织安排品酒会,这也是他的一项工作经历。在写求职信的时候,一般会介绍某项工作经历的体会。A项符合题意,“这项工作经历让我获得了更多的与人打交道的经验,而且能够让我运用课堂和工作中所获得的知识”,this就是指代前文中的内容。
    12.C  前文中讲到他在童年时就接触红酒业,由此可以推断他与红酒的渊源很深,应该对红酒很有感情。C项“有时候我感觉到我的血管里流动的不是血液而是红酒”符合题意。

    Passage 14Questions 8—12  ● Read the article below about GE.  ● Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.  ● For each gap (8—12), mark one letter (A—G) on your Answer Sheet.  ● Do not use any letter more than once.  ● There is an example at the beginning, (0).A slipping crown  For decades America’s General Electric (GE) has worn its AAA credit rating as a badge of pride. The company has also used it to mint money in its financial-services business, GE Capital. No longer (0)______. That added insult to the injury that GE has already suffered.  Last year the outfit generated a profit of $8.6 billion or almost 48% of GE’s total earnings. By exploiting its AAA rating, GE Capital was able to raise capital cheaply and then deploy it to fund everything from commercial-property and home loans to credit-card lending and insurance. (8)______. Announcing its decision to downgrade the business, S&P predicted rising credit losses in coming months in several areas of GE Capital’s portfolio.  Although GE’s demotion from AAA was bad news, it triggered a rise in the firm’s shares, which had recently been trading at about the same price as one of the light bulbs that the company makes. (9)______. They may also have taken comfort from the agency’s conclusion that GE’s industrial businesses should continue to pump oodles of cash, in spite of the global downturn.  Yet some financial analysts are still fretting that GE Capital’s portfolio may contain more nasty surprises. (10)______. They also wonder out loud whether Moody’s, another rating agency, will take a more pessimistic view of GE’s prospects when it finishes a review of the AAA rating that it still assigns to the firm.  Next week GE plans to hold an in-depth briefing on the state of the assets in GE Capital’s portfolio, which will help to dispel the cloud still hanging over the business. It has also been telling anyone who will listen that it doesn’t expect this week’s downgrade to have a significant impact on its business, though it does plan to keep shrinking GE Capital’s activities so that the unit represents no more than 30% of total profit. (11)______. GE is sitting on $48 billion of cash and has already raised over 90% of its long-term debt needs for this year—no mean feat in a dire credit market.  The company also plans to slash its dividend from the second half of 2009, which it reckons to conserve an additional $9 billion a year on an ongoing basis. (12)______.. In his annual letter to shareholders published recently, Mr. Immelt admitted that GE’S reputation had been “tarnished”.  A. This has made some of the company’s small investors apoplectic; they have grown used to juicy dividend payments.  B. Jeff Immelt, GE’s CEO, has said that the overall company will continue to manage itself like a AAA-rated firm, notably by keeping plenty of liquidity to hand.  C. Resolving lingering doubts over GE Capital quickly will be essential if one of America’s most iconic companies is to regain its shine.  D. They point out that the business does not mark many of its assets to their market price—a practice that has blown huge holes in the finances of many big banks.  E. No doubt investors were relieved that S&P didn’t make an even deeper cut in the company’s rating.  F. But the chaos triggered by the credit crunch has taken the shine off GE’s cash machine, which has seen some of its property and other loans turn sour.  G. S&P stripped the company and its financial arm of their top-notch ratings, downgrading them to AA-plus.

    正确答案: 8.F  该空前一句指出GE Capital 因其信用评级能够低廉地筹集资金,后一句则表明S&P预测了GE Capital投资组合各个领域的亏损,因此空缺处的句子应该起到转折的作用,故选项F符合题意。
    9.E  该空前一句提到一度十分低迷的GE股价上涨,接着应该指明原因,且该空后一句“also”一词暗示空缺句也应为上涨的原因,故选E。
    10.D  空缺处的前句与后句都指出了金融分析家的观点,并且该空的后一句出现“also”一词,由此可推断空缺句与前句的关系应该为可为解释或者并列,故选D。
    11.B  该断的主要内容为阐述降级后GE的一系列做法。空缺处下一句出现的“$48 billion of cash”与B句中GE总裁声明讲保留充盈的流动构成解释关系,故选B。
    12.A  空缺句前一句指明GE计划从2009下半年度起削减股东红利,A中的this指代前句出现的“to slash its dividend”与前句构成因果关系,故选A。

    I saw your ad on the board looking for a Chinese student as a language partner. I would love to be your partner!
    I am a native Beijing boy and all my classmates say that I have a standard accent of Chinese Mandarin. I believe I could help you with your Chinese in both writing and speaking. And since I am in English major, my English is not bad. That would make our communication much easier. And you will also be a great help to me in learning English!
    If we become language partners, we could hang out together and savor the culture of this city of a profound history.
    I am looking forward to your reply.
    Yours sincerely,
    Li Ming
