3.2 John Dixon is the recently appointed Chief of Police for a major city in the UK. He has inherited a major problem inthat its residents are very concerned with various forms of antisocial behaviour and minor crimes carried out by asmall number of people, which makes living, working, travelling and socialising in the city centre unpleasant ratherthan life threatening. The city’s residents have recently voted for it being one of the five worst cities in the UK in whichto live. There is little or no contact between the police and these residents.The city is split into a number of police districts, each with its own senior officer in charge. Their focus is on theresponse to emergency calls and solving serious crimes in their district rather than the less urgent crimes affectingeveryday living in the city. Response times and serious crime solution rates are the traditional measures by which theirperformance is measured and leave them open to criticism of simply reacting to events. There is little sense of beingpart of a city police force and, consequently, little sharing of information and experience between the different districts.The failure in policing antisocial behaviour in the city is seen as being largely the result of a shortage of resources.There are also important internal and external groups varying in their support or resistance to any necessary changein policing strategy. Key players include the mayor of the city anxious to improve the reputation of the city, the city’spress, traditionally used to highlighting police failures rather than successes and finally the courts of justice, whichare reluctant to take on the increased workload that any moves towards reducing antisocial behaviour would produce.John is aware of the complexity of the problem he faces in changing the way the city is policed to improve the qualityof life of its citizens. He has, however, an impressive track record as a change agent in previous appointments and isconfident that he can bring about the necessary change.Required:(a) Using change management models where appropriate, provide John with a brief report on the nature ofchange needed in the way the city is policed in order to improve the city’s quality of life.

参考答案和解析
正确答案: B
解析:
洪水是这个城市的主要问题,但是政府好像并没有花心思提出治理这种情况的策略。这是一个转折句,故判断后句应该是否定意义的,故排除A、D两项,little effort没有努力。few trial很少尝试。

    A:maintain
    B:assess

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题考查的是对动词的认知。这句话的意思是:要做很多工作才能对这种情形进行补救。remedy的意思是补救。A.maintain保持;B.assess评估;C.protect保护;D.improve改进。remedy和improve意思最接近,所以选D。

  • 第3题:

    资料:It seems simple enough. Take all the line-forming and paper-filling busy work of the government, and put it all up on the Internet. Now, in order to report a pot-hole, pay your property tax, complain to an official or cast a vote, just log on and hit a few buttons. Goodbye bureaucracy, hello e-cracy?
    However, the shift to e-government is turning into one giant pain in the neck — technology isn't the problem, money is. The Gartner Group estimated that project spending for e-government will grow from $6.5 billion in 2010 to more than $16.8 billion by 2025.The cost worldwide over the next 15 years, however, is thought by some to reach or even exceed $600 billion.
    Citizens are of two minds — they like the convenience and flexibility of e-government, but they have shown no great interest in coughing up extra tax dollars for this purpose. E-government is turning out to be much more expensive than its early champions envisioned. Just because that a state's department of motor vehicles allows online auto registration doesn't mean it can shut down its physical stations. The cost of creating and maintaining an Internet presence must be added to the existing cost structure.
    Why so expensive? It's cheap enough for a regional forest service to put up a fire alert website. But mounting a comprehensive system of inputs and outputs that mirrors and in some instances supersedes off-line government structures is a mammoth expenditure, conducted with little assurance that emerging technological standards won't leave your effort in the dust.
    If this sounds eerily similar to the confidence wall dot-com businesses piled into last year, good for you, because it’s the same wall, the wall of reality, where money is still money, and because a thing is virtual doesn’t mean it’s free. It is a really big problem. We all know it is going to cost a ton of money, but no one knows where to go for the money.

    The author’s major purpose in writing this passage seems to .

    A.make suggestions on facing the reality and modifying expectations
    B.advocate that e-government is costly and useless
    C.explain why e-government is no longer popular
    D.persuade governments to cut the cost

    答案:A
    解析:
    本题考查的是语篇理解。
    【关键词】main purpose
    【主题句】 第5自然段 If this sounds eerily similar to the confidence wall dot-com businesses piled into last year,good for you,because it’s the same wall,the wall of reality, where money is still money,and because a thing is virtual doesn’t mean it’s free.It is a really big problem.We all know it is going to cost a ton of money, but no one knows where to go for the money.如果这听起来和去年的网络公司的信心惊人地相似,对你来说很好,因为它是同样的墙,现实的墙,钱仍然是钱,而且因为一件东西是虚拟的并不意味着它是免费的。这是一个很大的问题。我们都知道这将花费一大笔钱,但是没有人知道该去哪里。
    【解析】本题的问题是“作者写这篇文章的主要目的是什么?”。根据主题句可知,作者的目的是想提出建议,让公民面对现实和修改期望,故选A。

    Libya government is now faced with a very serious situation.

    A:ideal
    B:favorable
    C:good

    答案:D

    本句话的意思是:“利比亚政府目前面临非常严峻的形势。”severe:严峻的、危险的,例如:Terrorism attack is a severe problem in Britain.在英国,恐怖袭击是一个严峻的问题。ideal:理想的,例如:To become an interpreter is his ideal job.他理想的工作是成为一名口译人员。favorable:有力的、称赞的,例如:He received favorable comments from the professors.他得到了教授们的赞许。good:好的、出色的,例如:A good teacher should be patient.一名好老师应该有耐心。

    The City Planning

    In the past,cities usually grew in a disorderly way because few cities were built according to a plan.In the late 1 800s,the idea of a"beautiful city"came into_______(51).People felt that a city should have wide street,parks,and a civic centre.People_______(52)to realize that cities need to be planned.
    In the first part of the 1900s,cities began to_______(53)zoning laws.Zoning laws say what kind of building can be put up in different parts of a city.A factory cannot be put up on land _______(54)for apartments.Apartments,_______(55),cannot be built on land for houses.
    Meanwhile,cities were growing rapidly and changing almost_______(56).They faced many problems.Sometimes the streets in a city caused traffic_______(57).Sometimes there were not enough schools or hospitals for all the people who needed them. As people moved_______(58)to new areas of the city,older parts of town often became run-down.
    At first,citizens_______(59)groups that tried to solve the problems a city faced.Today, most large cities have city planning board_______(60)part of their city government. On the board are city_______(61)who have special training. Many of them have college_______(62)in city planning.

    _________(64)
    A:put out
    B:lay out
    C:give out
    D:hard out

    答案:B
    解析:
    come into being为固定搭配,意思是“形成、产生”,例如:When did the Great Britain come into being?英国是何时形成的?原文是“美丽城市”的理念应运而生,因此选C。
    根据上下文判断,随着美丽城市理念的诞生,人们开始意识到城市需要被规划。come有“开始”的意思。所以此处选C最合适,其他各项均不合题意。fail失败, incline 和tend都有“倾向于”的意思。
    根据词语的搭配可以知道,原文应该指的是“城市开始通过城市区划法”,三个选项中只有选项A最合适,pass有“通过”的意思,和law“法律”搭配使用正确。
    空缺处需要填的是过去分词引导的定语从句,省略了which be。这里指的是被划分出来建公寓的地区不能盖工厂,zone更合适,意思是“将……划为特殊区域”。
    however表示一种转折的关系。本句意思为“工厂不能建在用于盖公寓的土地上。然而,公窝也不能盖在建造大宅的土地上”。所以选项D符合。
    根据前半部分即城市在快速地发展,可以判断出城市的变化也是很迅速的,选项D正确,意为“突然,很快”,与前面的rapidly呼应。
    traffic jam意思是“交通堵塞”,较之选项B,选项A更符合常理,即城市里的街道会造成交通堵塞。
    本句提到了老地区变得破败不堪,人们应该是搬出旧城区,搬进新的城市地区,所以选择C,后面接的介词to指“搬到……”。
    只有form最适合和后面的group搭配使用。form意为“组成”,例如:The two parties formed a coalition.两个政党组成了联合政府。本句意思是“市民们组成了试图解决城市面临的问题的团体”。
    三个选项中只有as适合,意思是“作为”。句子意思是“大多数的大城市都有了作为城市政府一部分的城市规划委员会”。
    逻辑题。on the board意思是“委员会里”。前面提到大多数城市都有了 city planning board即“城市规划委员会”,那么委员会里必然有城市规划师,所以A正确。
    degree意思是“学历”,后面常接介词in指在某专业方面的学历,原句中还有信号词college,所以选项degree最合适。level水平,qualification资质,height高度。
    best这里是副词,意思是“最好地,最高标准地”,比较carefully (小心地), suitably(合适地)以及cleverly(聪明地),选项B更为合适。原句意思是“这些城市规划师必须知道如何才能以最好的方式使用城市里的土地”。
    lay out为固定搭配,意思是“规划,设计”。例如:When the local governments lay out the car parks, they must estimate the numbers of cars in these districts.当地方政府规划停车场时,他们必须先估计市区里的汽车数量。原文是“他们规划城市的新地区”。
    这里的意思是“他们……决定如何来提升一个老城区”。section除了有 “部分”的意思外还指“(城市等的)地区,(街区等的)地段”。square意为“广场”,division意为“部分”,centers意为“中心”。

    C

    less and less people are out finding new jobs

    D

    the government has taken strong measures to control the unemployment rate


    正确答案: A

    由文章第二段第五句,“The unemployment rate…a weak economy.”,可知,失业率保持在一个较低的水平是由于人力资源的缓慢增加而导致的。工作的人数的增加少,相对失业的人也较少。A选项正是此意。B,C,D选项无关。
