  • 第5题:

    Drunken driving, sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder, has become a national epidemic. Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed hy
    drunken drivers, adding up an incredible 350,000 over the past decade.
    A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American alcohol image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
    Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 to 20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop"responsible attitudes" about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.
    Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks.
    As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years' national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the"noble experiment". They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
    What is the author's attitude toward all the laws against drunken driving?

    A.Optimistic.
    B.Pessimistic.
    C.Indifferent.
    D.Ironic.

    答案:B
    解析:
    根据最后一段最后一句可知,作者对针对酒后驾车的法律所能起到的作用持悲观态度。

    问答题
    Practice 1  Discussion—about 5 minutes  In this part of the test you are given a discussion topic. You have 30 seconds to look at the prompt card, an example of which is below, and then about 3 minutes to discuss the topic with your partner. After that the examiner will ask you more questions related to the topic.  For two candidates  Program for New Staff  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 sort 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 time is not well planned within a company, 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.
    A: I think they often ignore the ordering of priorities. I mean certain tasks need our prior attention. But in the company every task is treated equally, even though it is a very important task.
    B: That’s the point. So time should be planned in line with the significance of the tasks we need to deal with.
    A: So what do you think we can do in order to manage time effectively here in our company?
    B: You mean what means we can adopt?
    A: Sure. That’s what our boss is asking 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 will be useful for them, especially those in supervisory positions.
    B: Great. 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 can do is to make all the managers, or even every employee, think of a job description of their own. 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 regard to what sort of jobs should be given priority to. In this way, we can confirm that significant tasks are handled first.
    A: Good idea. So in conclusion, our company should run a few training courses, and every employee should write down a job description of their own.
    B: And rules should be made about what sort of job should be given priority to.
