第2题：
When I opened the first "Body Shop" in 1976, what I wanted to do was to earn （挣） enough money to feed my children. Today the "Body Shop" is a great company growing fast all around the world. In the years since we began, I have learned a lot. Much of what I have learned will be found in this book, because I believe that we, as a company, have something worth saying about how to run a successful business without giving up what you really believe in.
It's not an ordinary business book. It is not just about my life, either. The message is that to succeed in business you have to be different. Business can be fun, and can be run with love and do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling of my family and to feel excited by something unusual. I have always wanted the people who work for the "Body Shop" to feel the same way.
Now this book sends these ideas out into the world, and makes them public. I'd like to think there are no limits （界限） to our "family", and no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I hope you do, too.

第6题：
问答题Practice 3 A: What is important when...? Choosing a computer skills course ●Topics ●Size of group ●Qualification offered B: What is important when...? Choosing a business club to join in ●Entertainment Facilities ●Type of Events ●Cost正确答案： 【参考范例】
If you choose A:
As for the topic of the course, it should be in relation to your needs, for instance, if you work as a secretary and you are only well in applying Word of Microsoft Window’s programs for office and you would like to improve you skills of using Power Point and Excel, but the topics of the course are mainly to give people the training about how to use computer programs for making balance sheets and financial statements, then this course will not suit you. However, it will be very suitable for someone who works as assistant to a financial analyst or an accounts clerk. The topics of the course should be attractive so that you will not feel dull after joining the course.
Moreover, the size of group should not be too small. If the size of group is too small, there will be limitations in the interaction among the trainees. What is more, the cost of the course will be immensely increased. It should not be too large either. If the size of group is too large, there will be difficulties for the trainer/instructor of the course in managing, paying enough attention to every trainee or accommodating all trainees’ needs and requirements.
In addition, we should also consider what sort of qualification will be offered, and if it is recognized at home and abroad. Whether there will be an authoritative certificate awarded to the participants who pass the final assessment of the course.
Last, we need to consider whether employers will accept such certificates.
If you choose B:
When asking me what is important to join in a business club, the answer will be entertainment facilities. By doing exercise with various entertainment facilities, we can better relax and ease our mind after a day’s hard work.
The next thing to consider will be types of events. If there are various events in the club, we can pick the one that we like. Different events can offer us different experiences, which we otherwise could never attain through daily lives.
Another factor is the cost of joining in a business club. High cost would scare off many guests. Therefore, the cost should be reasonable in accordance with the services offered.解析： 暂无解析 -

第9题：
单选题In context, which of the following is the best revision of sentence 3 (reproduced below)?That thing that makes them want to do it is called an incentive, and what makes them not want to do them would be a disincentive.AIt is an incentive making someone want to do something, and a disincentive making them not want to do it.
BAn incentive is what makes someone want to do something, and a disincentive is what makes someone want to avoid doing something.
CIncentives make someone want to do things, but disincentives are the things making them not want to do it.
DPeople are made to want to do something by incentives, and a disincentive is for not wanting to do it.
EIt is incentives that make people want to do something, disincentives on the other hand being what makes people want to avoid doing something.
正确答案： B解析：
这个句子是明确“incentive，disincentive”的定义。A使用代词it，没有一个清晰地先行词，且使用两个不恰当的分词短语。C的定义冗杂，使用代词it，没有一个明确的先行词。D和E的定语既不符合平行结构也不恰当。只有B的定义最有效最简洁。 -

第21题：
问答题The following is a transcript of a statement made by a recording industry executive at an industry conference: “The music recording industry is suffering grave economic losses due to the widespread piracy of digital music. This fate was an inevitable result of the industry’s misguided decision to switch from the analogue format of vinyl records to the digital formats used today on compact disks and computer files. Copying a vinyl record requires expensive and bulky machinery, whereas anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can start up a music piracy business. To boost music revenues, the recording industry should switch entirely back to the analogue format of vinyl records. Also, I can state with complete authority that music just sounds better on a vinyl record.” Discuss how well-reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion, be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative examples or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.正确答案：【参考范文】
The recording industry executive argues that in order to stem the tide of economic losses due to digital music piracy, the music recording industry should abandon the digital format entirely in favor of the old analogue format of vinyl records. While the executive does address a significant current problem for the music industry, the logic of his argument and the conclusion he reaches are both fundamentally flawed. Not only do the premises of his argument fail to support adequately his conclusion, but his conclusion would, if implemented, do more harm to the music industry than is currently inflicted by piracy.
To begin with, his premises are flawed. It is inaccurate to characterize the effects of digital formats on the music industry as “grave economic losses” when in fact the music industry has reaped far higher revenues by selling music in digital format—primarily compact disks— than it ever earned in the old analogue days of vinyl. Also, his somewhat irrelevant statement that “music just sounds better on vinyl” is supported only by his personal authority, which in this context cannot reasonably be characterized as “complete.” Finally, his assumption that switching to vinyl records will halt music piracy due to technical complications is inherently flawed, because those vinyl records could very easily be recorded onto digital formats and then distributed over the Internet. His chosen solution does not actually solve his specified problem.
The executive’s most fundamental error, however, is his failure to distinguish between stopping piracy and boosting revenue. Although his plan of reverting to an obsolete technology might, in a small way, impede the efforts of those who would use digital music unethically, it is more likely that it would result in far greater economic losses to the industry than are currently inflicted by piracy. The industry has switched overwhelmingly to digital formats because they offer a number of benefits both to the industry and to the consumer. For the industry, digital music is easier to produce and far less costly to distribute than bulky vinyl records. For consumers, digital formats such as compact disks and MP3s are far easier to store, sort through, and carry around than older analogue formats. For the whole industry to switch back to vinyl records would be like cutting off its nose to spite its face.
For the reasons stated above, the executive’s argument simply does not hold up. If he were truly serious about addressing the problem of digital music piracy, his time would be better spent investigating technological ways to make digital formats more resistant to piracy. This essay would earn a high score in the 5 to 6 range. The writer shows that he understands the argument being presented, but is not convinced by it for a number of reasons. He goes on to point out a series of flaws in the argument, and then to suggest an alternative approach to the question. By pointing out two potentially fatal flaws—the executive’s plan will not necessarily stop piracy, and it may harm the industry more than it can help it—the author presents a compelling case that the executive’s argument is fundamentally flawed. 解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Passage 2How to Pick a Career in Business Picking the right career in business is a matter of matching what you want to do with, the kind of life you want to lead. Figuring (31)______ how to strike this balance generally requires prioritizing the following issues: industry, location, and working conditions. Fist and foremost, ask yourself what industry interests you (32)______? Many websites on the Internet can be (33)______ great use. For example, Vault corn provides a thorough list of industries that can give you the information necessary for (34)______ this decision. It is also important to investigate what kind of business careers in your target industry (35)______ growing and hiring. Location involves many factors. Where would you like to live? Do you prefer big cities or small towns? How far and by what (36)______ are you willing to commute? Do you want to be close to your family and friends (37)______ do you want to strike out into new territory? Many people also (38)______ into account the cost of living in different areas of the country or world. Then (39)______ the question: what kind of working environment best suits your working style? Some people need to feel rooted to a workspace (40)______ they are surrounded by co-workers, while others hope to see new faces every day. When choosing your career in business, try to consider which way—or in which combination—you are most comfortable and productive.正确答案： 31. OUT
此题考查动词短语figure out, 表示“想出,理解”。
32. MOST
对本空格所在的句子分析可知,宾语从句中结构完整,主语、谓语、宾语齐全,因此可以推断空格处所缺的是修饰动词interests的程度副词来。根据逻辑关系,填入most意思是“对……最感兴趣”。
33. OF
be of+n. =adj.这一句型的用法是本题考查的关键点,此处的be of great use, 与be very useful的意思相同。
34. MAKING
此空格处需要填入一个动词与decision搭配形成动宾关系。短语make the decision意为“做决定”,另外,动名词应该跟在介词for后面,所以空格处应填making。
35. ARE
what引导的内容是本空格所在的句子的宾语从句,其中此处需要填入的是be动词与其后的“growing and hiring”形成现在进行时态。此外,根据主谓一致关系,“business careers”为本从句的主语,所以答案为are。
36. MEANS
理解commute的含义是本题解题的关键,它的意思是“通勤,往来于工作地点和住所之间”。所以此空格所缺的是表示交通方式的单词。此外,means of transportation意为“交通方式”,因此答案为means。
37. OR
空格的前后句都是独立的简单句,所以空格处所缺的是能够连接这两个简单句的并列连词以便构成一个并列句。所以填入or连接两个简单疑问句构成一个选择疑问句。 短语strike out意为“开始独立生活或创业”。
38. TAKE
固定搭配take into account的意思是“考虑”。
39. COMES
空格所在的句子为一个倒装句, 空格处所需要填入的是谓语动词。此处的come意为“来临,到来”。
40. WHERE
本空格填人的关系代词where引导定语从句修饰先行词workspace。解析： 暂无解析 -
