I saw on the bulletin board that website design classes are going to be offered at the community center. I’m really interested in taking the classes. Is it O.K. that I don’t have a membership with the community center? I don’t really have much experience. in this type of thing though, so I hope there are different levels because I will probably need to be in the beginner class. I’m just a basic user.., you know, e-mail and the Internet is pretty much what I’m familiar with. I also didn’t see any class dates or times listed really hope the class will fit into my schedule. I know classes are usually free at the community center, but 1 didn’t see anything mentioned .about prices either, so can I assume that it’s free? I’m really interested in the class.

根据以下材料，回答
What should you think about in trying tofind your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others.These may show strengths that you can use in your work.

If you have had a part-time job onSaturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, youmay have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to geton with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop,for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particularindustry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weakpoints is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handletools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. Itis bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your schoolrecord, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of yourbackground. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize thatyou will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

第3题：
问答题Nowadays more young people can enjoy university education than in the past, but they are faced with another problem: job hunting. Most graduates find it hard to find a satisfactory job, and some have to stay jobless for several years. What do you think may have caused this problem? Write a composition of about 400 words to explain your point of view. The title has been provided for you.Problems in university students' job hunting In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a toss of marks.正确答案：
Problems in university students' job hunting Many years ago, most young people could not go to university because university only accepted a small amount of students. To their delight, young people now find it easier to go to university, but to their dismay, they also find it harder to find jobs. How come university students, who are intelligent, ambitious and knowledgeable, have difficulty in finding jobs? There are several reasons to account for this problem.
One important reason is that nowadays university students pursue too high a goal. Most of them dream to work in office buildings, and hold contempt for jobs in places where things are made or sold. Some care too much about some minor factors, such as salary, location or comfortableness of the working place. Because of these, students usually narrow down their selections, thus making it harder to find a proper job. For example, most students want to work in cities or in coastal areas, such as Shanghai, Beijing or Guangzhou. Although talents are badly needed in some western provinces, the graduates are unwilling to go there. This naturally makes it hard to find a job in some areas and hard to find a talent in some other areas.
Another reason is that the majors some students study in universities do not fit in with the demands of the vacant jobs. As the society is developing so quickly, university cannot catch up with it and offer courses to satisfy all requirements. Besides, there are some majors where not many graduates are needed but are admitting many students each year. When these students graduate, they may find that there are almost no vacancies that really need their knowledge. Majors like history or philosophy are examples of this type.
The last reason is that some employers raise too strict requirements on graduates. Because students stay on campus, most of them do not have time to work. But most companies just want to employ people with at least two-year working experience. This can keep many students from applying for the jobs. Some employers also just want boys, and then the girls will lose the chance of applying for the jobs.
From the above discussion, we can see that students, universities, and employers should all be responsible for the problems in the job market. To solve the problem, graduates should hold reasonable expectations, university should offer courses to meet the latest requirements of the society and flexibly adjust admission policy, and employers should raise sensible requirements on candidates. If all these three parties make joint efforts, university students will soon find that finding a job is not as hard as they expected.解析：
这道题要求谈论原因，即why it is hard for university students to find a job。作者从学生个人的期望值过高、学校课程陈旧和雇主要求太高三个方面进行了阐述，要点合理恰当。引言段采用对照法开头，用一个问题引出讨论主题，保证了文章中心思想的清晰明了。正文段中，作者按照个人、学校、社会三个方面的顺序安排要点，符合由小到大的顺序，保证了文章的通顺。论据方面，除了推理以外，我们还可以发现很多例子，这就增强了文章的说服力。 -

问答题Practice 3Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the topic “How to Solve the Energy Problem.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.正确答案：
【范文】
How to Solve the Energy Problem Energy is one of the biggest problems people are faced with today. Not a few far-sighted people point out that our natural resources are very much limited. If we keep consuming our resources at the present rate, they warn, the world will soon be running out of oil, coal and metals and this will certainly lead to a serious energy crisis threatening mankind’s survival.
The majority of the world’s people have responded with a clamor for more severe conservation of our natural resources. This is urgently necessary, indeed. It must be realized that much of our energy, in the form of oil, coal, gas, or electricity, has been wantonly consumed. If things go on like this, we will leave for our descendants a devastated world, a vast stretch of wasteland. So, from now on, we will have to make serious efforts to practise economy in using energy and cut down waste of any form so as to slow down the present drain on our limited resources.
But conservation alone is not all the answer. The best way to solve the energy problem is, I think, to develop new sources of energy. It is obvious that, even if we save much energy by using it carefully, our natural resources, however abundant, will run out ultimately. And when they are unexplored areas seems to be the only way out of our predicament.解析： 暂无解析 -

We all know customer satisfaction is essential to the survival of our businesses. You have been asked to find out whether customers are satisfied. Discuss the situation together, and decide: ● how to find out whether the customers are satisfied ● what to ask in a customer satisfaction survey.正确答案： 【参考范例】
A: We all know customer satisfaction is essential to the survival of our businesses. How do you think we can find out whether our customers are satisfied?
B: In my opinion, in order to find out whether our customers are satisfied or not, the best and most direct way is to ask them.
A: Certainly many ways can be adopted to ask them whether they are satisfied with our company, our products, and the service they received. Can you name some common ways?
B: Sure. we can ask them face-to-face when they are about to walk out of our store or office. In addition, we can also call them on the phone after their visits and ask how they feel about our products and service.
A: Well. Good idea. Any other ways?
B: Mail them a questionnaire is also an option. This technique has long been used, which turns out to be quite effective
A: As far as I am concerned, we can ask certain questions in a customer satisfaction survey to get to know their expectations and to collect information about what need to be changed and what need to be maintained to increase their satisfaction.
B: By all means basic customer satisfaction questions should be asked, like “ Are you satisfied with the service you received?” Still, we need to ask the customers loyalty questions, for instance “What are the chances of you recommending our products/services to others?” Plus, some research needs to be done to know what the customer like and don’t like about the products, services and the company.
A: That is the point.
Follow-up questions:
(Q=question A=answer)
Q1: Do you think feedback from customers is the most important thing to consider? Why or why not?
A: Yes, their feedback can reveal a lot and be very useful. You can improve your products’ quality accordingly. ﹨No, it is not wise to completely depend on that, since some customers may not take it seriously when answering questions.
Q2: Is it essential to consider competitors’ products? Why or why not?
A: Yes. By comparison, you can know the differences and try to do a better job. ﹨No, feedback from customers is more reliable
Q3: Which is more important when aiming to improve customer services, staff training or customer satisfaction survey?
A: I would say staff training is the fundamental way to improve customer services.﹨Customer satisfaction survey can be more effective in improving customer satisfaction.
Q4: How often should you conduct a customer satisfaction survey?
A: As is said, the most wise way is to conduct a customer satisfaction survey often enough to get the most information, to upset the customers, but not so often as to upset the customers”.
Q5: Have you ever thought about what to do with the answers from a customer satisfaction survey?
A: Yes. The answers from different customers need to be compiled and used to predict trends.﹨No, feedback alone is not enough and further research together with other surveys needs also to be conducted.解析： 暂无解析 -

Time Management Your company has found that ineffective time management is one of the major problem areas throughout the workforce. You have been asked to put forward some suggestions for improving the situation. Discuss, and decide together: ● Why poor time management can become a major problem in companies ● What procedures could be adopted to ensure that time is managed effectively.正确答案： 【参考范例】
A: Hi, as you know, these days our company is kind of out of control. Don’t you think so?
B: Yeah. Everything appears to be in chaos here in our company. And that clearly has resulted from poor time management.
A: You mean poor time management has led to all these problems. Why?
B: When a company does not have a well-planned time-schedule, they usually do not distribute blocks of time to specified tasks. They do not have a definite clue of when they should finish a certain task. And
A: And I think the ordering of priorities is often ignored. I mean the urgent tasks need completing first. But in our company every task is treated equally, even though it is a very urgent task.
B: That’s the point. So time should be scheduled based on the importance of the tasks we need to handle.
A: So what do you think we can do so as to manage time effectively here in our company?
B: You mean what methods we can adopt?
A: Sure. That’s what our boss is requiring us to do, right?
B: Right. I think we’ve got a lot to do. First, we should make all the staff members aware of the importance of effective time management to our company.
A: Yes, I think instruction in time management would be useful for them, especially those in supervisory positions.
B: Right, perhaps we can run a few training courses for them. If necessary, we may invite some professionals from outside to help us.
A: Another thing we need to do is to make all the managers, or even every employee, come up with their own job description. Only in this way, can they be pretty sure about what they are accountable for and what they are not.
B: Yes, that’s a good idea. And I think, the top managers of our company should make a set of rules with respect to what sort of jobs should be paid prior attention. In this way, we can confirm that important tasks are coped with first.
A: Good idea. So in conclusion, our company should run a few training courses, and every employee should write down their own job description.
B: And rules should be made as to what sort of job should be paid prior attention.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Directions: In this part of the test, you will give your opinion about a specific topic. Be sure to say as much as you can in the time allotted. You will have 15 seconds to prepare. Then you will have 60 seconds to speak.Practice 1 Some employers value education over work experience because they say it gives employees a more complete understanding of a specific field. Other employers prefer work experience, saying it proves the candidate can deal with real world challenges. Which do you think is better and why? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.正确答案： (1)
From my point of view, I think an employer should hire someone who has more experience in a particular field instead of one who receives better education. Employees with more work experience can put practical experience, which they have learned from real world, into current job. Many of the most successful business people have succeeded without the help and benefit of a formal higher education. To some extent, they have been successful through application and experiences, which cannot be taught and acquired in classroom. After making mistakes, even experiencing failure, and then learning lessons from mistakes, employees can learn and grow, and. finally achieve success. So employers should value experience rather than education when deciding between two otherwise promising candidates.
解 析:答案选择了工作经验。开头开门见山地表明了观点,继而用补充说明(further explanation)和两个详细说明(detailed explanation)进行了具体说明。
选择candidate with more experience(经验丰富的求职者)
主题中心词(Topic keywords):real world,practical experience(现实中的实际经验)
补充说明:Successful people without higher education(没有接受过高等教育的成功人士)
详细说明:(1)application,experience(勤勉,经验)
(2)making mistake,achieving success,experiencing, failure(犯错误,获得成功,经历失败的过程)
(2)
Employers should choose a candidate having suitable education to the field or industry, where they are being employed. Education is more important because students are taught certain things in their field, thus they can bring what they have learned to their career. For instance, an accountant is required to apprehend mathematics and the principles of accounting fully, even just to get an entry-level position. Assume someone just has work experience in accounting-related jobs, he might not be lectured the correct way to deal with accounting activities, or he has to waste time and resources to learn on the job. It is better to hire someone who has already acquired profound knowledge and skill set at the very beginning.
解 析:本回答选择了高学历。在开门见山地表明了观点之后,用两个补充说明和详细说明进行了具体论述。
选择candidate who has more education(学历高的求职者)
理由主题中心词:students with certain things within their field(具有专业知识和技能的学生)
①补充说明:accountant with mathematics and accounting skill(具有数学和会计知识的会计师) 详细说明:entry-level position(初级职位)
②补充说明:accounting-related jobs and jobs with numbers(与会计和数字有关的工作)

Nowadays, more and more people are living under pressure, no matter what the age and sex. One in four people will experience some kind of mental health problem in the course of a year.

问答题题目要求: 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 two below and then talk for about one minute. You have one minute to prepare your ideas.Practice 1 A: What is important when...? Attending an interview ●Punctuality ●Manner ●Appearance B: What is important when...? Working in a team ●Having a team leader ●Deciding people’s responsibilities ●Sharing information正确答案： 【参考范例】
If you choose A:
When attending an interview, it’s a merit that we show up on time. For an interview due to start at nine thirty in the morning, the candidate is expected to arrive five minutes earlier. To be better prepared for the interview, if possible, he’d better pay a visit to the interview site in advance. By doing this, he will be able to figure out the shortest route and the approximate time to get there.
In addition, remember that the interviewer is observing you even before your entrance into the room. Therefore, don’t forget to knock at the door first, no matter whether it’s shut or open. Furthermore, eye contact is necessary. Look straight into the interviewer’s eyes with politeness and self-confidence. At the meanwhile, greet him with a smile
Furthermore, a person who is particular about his appearance is always welcome everywhere. With your hair neatly cut your beard nicely shaved and your face cleanly washed, you are more likely to leave a good first impression. At the same time, arm yourself with a starched shirt, an ironed suit and a pair of polished shoes. By doing that, you’re definitely a pleasant guy in the eyes of both male and female interviewers.
If you choose B:
When working in a team, first of all, a team leader is essential for the team. With the lead of a good team leader, the team can fulfill the tasks smoothly. Without a team leader, there will be no definite direction and employees may not know what to do and how to do the work in co-operation with each other.
Secondly, it is important that every employee knows his/her responsibility. When clear-cut assignment of responsibility, employees can concentrate on their tasks and work more efficiently. As a result, the company’s objective can be eventually achieved.
Thirdly, as a member of the team, every employee is entitled to know any information within the group. Therefore, information should be shared, and by doing this a lot of time and energy can be saved, which may otherwise be used to do much more work.解析： 暂无解析 -

As Iraq struggles to recover from conflict and severe economic hardship to a society that is once again able to stand on its own two feet, the United nations has convened a meeting on 23, June to ensure that the Iraqis immediate humanitarian needs are met and the transition to longer-term reconstruction is fully underway by the beginning of the next year.
Indeed, such actions and achievements in responding to anticipated humanitarian needs in Iraq have played a crucial role in averting a much larger potential crisis. Even as the conflict was underway, national UN staff continued to carry out their duties. Aid activities under the Oil for Food Programme in Iraq’s three northern govern orates never stopped.1 National staff of the World Food Programme worked to open corridors from Turkey, Jordan and Iran into Iraq.2UNICEF local staff delivered humanitarian supplies and worked to maintain the supply of potable water.3WHO local staff supported Iraqi health professionals.4 Under the Oil for Food Programme, UNDP worked to maintain and restore electric power supplies, especially in the north.5
As of today, more than 800, 000 metric tonnes of food—enough to feed almost all of Iraq’s 27 million people for two months have been dispatched to Iraq.6 An average of 3.5 million litres of water per day is being tankered7 to hospitals, health centres and communities in the south and in the Baghdad area. Basic medicines, vaccines and health supplies have been delivered8 to facilities throughout the country. Agencies have helped repair and restore water, sanitation and power facilities, as well as schools, which have also been receiving essential education supplies.
But great needs remain. Due to the lack of a functioning economy, combined with prolonged reliance on the ration system, virtually all of the population of Iraq will require food aid in the short run in order to survive.9 The Flash Appeal for Iraq, asking for$2. 2 billion to cover needs for six months, was issued in March. Generous donor funding (approximately$900 million), and access to the resources of the Oil for Food Programme ($1. 1 billion), have meant that $2 billion is already available for humanitarian aid for the people of Iraq. The revised humanitarian appeal for Iraq seeks to meet the needs of the Iraqi people up to the end of the year. Given the healthy funding status, only an additional US $259 million is required.
Food aid alone accounts for two-thirds of the aid being requested through the Appeal. While the food sector, accounting for some $1.56 billion, is fully funded,10 funding is still required for equally important interventions in other sectors. Most essential needs must be still met: health care; clean water and sanitation; electricity; infrastructure repair; shelter; mine action and mine awareness; education; food security and agriculture; assistance for internally displaced persons and returning refugees. Given the urgent needs in other parts of the world in much of Africa, Afghanistan, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, as well as other places, it is essential that donor countries ensure that contributions to Iraq are in addition to and not in place of— funding for other emergencies.

While the food sector, accounting for some $1.56 billion, is fully funded,10 funding is still required for equally important interventions in other sectors. Most essential needs must be still met: health care; clean water and sanitation; electricity; infrastructure repair; shelter; mine action and mine awareness; education; food security and agriculture; assistance for internally displaced persons and returning refugees. Given the urgent needs in other parts of the world in much of Africa, Afghanistan, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, as well as other places, it is essential that donor countries ensure that contributions to Iraq are in addition to and not in place of— funding for other emergencies.解析： 暂无解析 -

Your response will be scored on the quality and variety of your sentences, vocabulary, and organization.Practice 1Directions: Read the e-mail below.Directions: Respond to the e-mail as if you are Ms. Chilton. In your e-mail, make THREE suggestions for lunch menu options.正确答案： (1)
Mark,
Yes, I agree with you. It is important to try and oblige Mr. Sanders.
My first advice is to have Taj Mahal catere the banquet. The reason is that they can provide a wide selection of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices. But they are a bit expensive.
The second option is Willie’s Dell. They deliver dell and delicious sandwiches, which can be customized according to buyer’s order. Their menu is both quite extensive and cheap.
Finally, you might try The Soup Pot. They have really tasty soups. which are amazingly filling, and they get a wide variety of flavors.
If you need the contact information of any of these, please let me know.
Karen
解 析:该答案完整地回答了提示(Directions)中要求的事项(三种午餐菜单建议)。文中使用了My first advice is… →The second… →Finally…句型依次写下了三种建议,使整篇文章连贯、有条不紊。
(2)
Mark,
I think we can help Mr. Sanders with his vegetarian preferences, in respect that he is a very important client.
First of all, a new restaurant called All Natural just opened for business. I recommend it because it has a strictly vegetarian menu. They offer appetizers, entrees and dessert. It is worth noting they have wonderful sandwiches. It might be limiting though, to offer only a vegetarian option.
And secondly, a Mexican restaurant might actually be good. I know it is not a typical dish considered for vegetarian fare, but you can order some maigre salads, tacos or burritos.
Finally, if you think the choice above is too casual, maybe we could also try Mabel’s. They provide a variety of vegetable dishes and their food is delicious as well. But the problem is that I am not sure if they would deliver.
I hope the suggestions would help.
Karen
解 析:解答本题时,要把自己假定成回信的当事人,根据提出的要求有条理地进行写作,这一点十分重要。该答案的特点是在各项建议之间加上了It might be limiting…,If it is too casual…等句子作为过渡,使得文章整体流畅自然。
(3)
Mark,
There are several vegetarian options you can choose from. The Golden Ladle on Pike Street offers vegetarian meals, such as baked eggplant lasagna and squash casserole. I was told that they accept take-out orders, because they do not deliver.
You can get a couple of options from the Vietnamese restaurant, too. They have some meatless food, like fried noodle dishes, and also some other delicious soups and exquisite side dishes.
My another suggestion is to order from the good caterer or restaurant which you employed before, ask them to make a meatless meal. You can just request a vegetable dish take the place of a meat meal. And this might be the simplest way if you have already arranged a caterer.
Feel free to call me if you have any questions.

问答题Practice 3Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The problem of Graduates’ jobs hunting. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.正确答案：
【参考范文】
The Problem of Graduates’ Jobs Hunting Job hunting has always been a headache for college students. Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not. What is worse, some still have no idea where to work even after a long time after graduation.
The reasons for this phenomenon are various. Firstly, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors that the number of graduates was larger than the need in the market. Secondly, universities put more emphasis on the teaching of theories, rather than practical use. Thirdly, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.
This problem is not easy to be solved. Both colleges and students should take measures. Universities should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need. Students’ attitude towards employment should be changed. They should go to small cities and country, where talents are urgently needed.解析：

You have 30 minutes to plan, write, and revise your essay. Typically, an effective response will contain a minimum of 300 words.Some people believe that hard work is the only way to be successful. Other people believe that success comes from luck. Which do you agree with and why?正确答案： (1)
In my opinion, I believe hard work is the most important element to be successful. The meaning of success varies for different people. As for me, success is being financially well off and being emotionally happy as well. And hard work is the gateway to success.
The main reason why people are successful is to work hard. A hard worker is able to follow directions from superior, act in obedience to the orders given to him. And in most cases, works set goals for themselves. But the difference that sets hard workers apart from regular workers is hard workers make any effort to accomplish their objectives. Hard workers are well aware of their goal and do not stop until they achieve it. Consequently, success is due to those who truly work hard.
A good example of this is Tiger Woods. He is a person who has been extremely successful. Maybe he possesses some natural talent, but in fact, he spent a tot of time and efforts on practicing, and finally became an excellent golfer. He did not just rely on luck one day and win a championship in a tournament. It is the years of dedication and hard work he put into golf that leads to his success. Natural talent can only get you to the entrance of the field.
Hard work provides consistent or sustained power to become success too, because people do not necessarily depend on chance factors, such as luck. Hard work is something people work at doing. They are in the process of pursuing success instead of relying on luck to give them a break. If success is the goal for a hard worker then they will achieve it, and they will be sure to. Their hard work will lead them there.
(2)
At one time I regarded hard work as more important than luck, but now I think chance is of the great importance for success. Luck, or chance, comes about not by design but accidentally. It is the reason why many unqualified people are successful. This success, from the financial perspective, is a matter of chance.
In the movie industry, a lot of actors and models were discovered by chance or owing to some type of luck in many countries around the world. Some of the situations might be that they were sitting next to an agent or a director at lunch, or when they were walking down the street. Someone spotted them. Under Such circumstances, these people were picked out because they happened to be next to the one who could help promote them into a better career and situation. They may then have successful careers and make a lot of money just because of one chance lucky meeting. They were lucky indeed.
Assuming a real world situation. A man owns a restaurant, and he works hard every day to run his business, but the result turns to be that he does not make much money. One day, he gets a call for a special food delivery order. His employee delivers the food to the customer, who is the owner of another large restaurant chain. The franchise owner especially enjoys the food, hence he offers the man a deal that the man is invited to join in the restaurant chain. Then, the man, who was struggling, becomes successful. It was very lucky for the man that the chain restaurant owner tries the food; as a result, he gets the opportunity to achieve success. I believe a lot of people work hard, but do not benefit from luck. Though they do a great job at work and try their very best. If they do not happen to have a certain lucky situations, they may never be successful.解析： 暂无解析 -
