正确答案： A解析：
此题涉及对话中关于报纸的价格。由录音可知，男士说到几种报纸中，The Times价格最低。接着女士又提到了正是由于The Times价格低，才限制了The Journal和The herald的提价。由此可以判断出，选项D为正确答案。
【录音原文】
M: Have you seen this story in The Herald? It says The Times is closing down in three months’ time.
W: Gary, that’s good news, that newspaper is terrible. I won’t miss it.
M: What do you mean? The Times is the best newspaper in the city. If that closes, we’ll only have The Herald and that City Journal which is too awful for words.
W: You only like The Times because it takes up to 20 pages every day with sports. This is a newspaper which puts the horoscopes on the bottom of the front page. I think that tells you how serious it is.
M: Come on. That’s hardly fair now, is it? Remember the campaign they did last year to save the children’s hospital. You can’t tell me you didn’t think that was a worthwhile thing to do。
W: They only did that because they knew it would strike a nerve with the average guy in the street. You know, saving a children’s hospital. It’s like the ultimate in populist journalism. Do you remember reading their article a couple of months before criticizing the local authorities wasting money on out-of-date healthcare facilities, including the very same children’s hospital? They have only ever written what they think will sell more newspapers.
M: Well, it obviously didn’t work if they’re closing, did it?
W: No. and thank heavens for that. The City Journal is a great paper and you don’t like it because it doesn’t devote 5 pages every day to baseball stats.
M: This is a baseball city. We’ve got a great team. Why shouldn’t we read about it? Where are we going to get the results now? The Journal puts all the results in one tiny box on the back page and The Herald gives them maybe a half page. It’s almost as if they feel ashamed at having a successful team here. I just don’t see why people buy The Journal.
W: Err, maybe because it has authentic journalists working there, journalists who know something about what is going on in the rest of the country and the rest of the world. I think a newspaper needs to meet all the needs of its readers, not just those who like sports. The Journal did a great piece on famine in Africa last week, did you read it?
M: No. I can’t say I did. I think they should leave that stuff for the national papers or for the TV news. If I buy a local newspaper, I don’t want to read about the famine in Africa. Those articles are only written by the ambitious journalists who are fishing for jobs in the national press.
W: Oh. you’re so cynical.
M: And another thing. What about the jobs section in The Times? That was one of the most useful parts of it. Three or four pages of good quality, jobs and always local. The Herald has one too ... look, here on page 17 ... one page ... and look, half of these jobs are on the other side of the state. Every business, every store in this city knows, if they want to employ someone, get someone to work for them, they have to place an ad in The Times. How are all these people going to get work now? This will absolutely wreck the local economy.
W: You certainly know how to exaggerate, Gary. Destroy the local economy, will it? I admit the jobs section was pretty good in The Times but one of the other two newspapers will just get the ads instead. That’s how things work. This city just isn’t big enough for three local newspapers and you know it. People only get them to see what’s on in town and to see who’s died.
M: That’s so morbid!
W: It’s true. People use the TV or the Internet for everything else. It’s not like it used to be 10 years ago.
M: The Times was the cheapest of them all too. You can bet all the prices are going to go up.
W: Hmm, you could be fight. I think The Times’ low price was the only thing keeping The Journal and The Herald from increasing their prices. I don’t buy a local paper that often to be honest. If I do get one, I find myself reading no more than a few pages anyway.
M: Well. If The Times really does close down, that’s my newspaper buying days finished. I think, in ten years’ time, nobody in this city will even buy a local paper. It’s a shame really, don’t you think?
W: My dad told me when he was a kid, there used to be 5 local newspapers in the city and two others serving only this comer of the state. But you know how it is, companies merge, everyone is looking for savings, efficiency and so on. Now we’ll only have two. It’s survival of the fittest.
1. Why does Gary prefer The Times to The Herald and City Journal?
2. What is the purpose of The Times’ campaign of saving the children’s hospital?
3. Which of the following statements is NOT CORRECT?
4. According to Gary, what can we learn about most of the jobs offered in The Times’ job section?
5. According to the woman, what keeps The Journal and The Herald from raising their prices? -

第15题：
Zhongxing Chemicals Corporation in China exported two tons of disinfectant (消毒剂) in one container to the United States. The trade was effected on the term of CIF New York US$ 20000. Upon the reception of the consignment at New York Port, the Consignee found the disinfectant was wet and useless according to the normal function of the substance. The consignee brought the claim against the Carrier and Insurer and gave the notice to the local survey agent mentioned in the Policy without any delay. The cause and origin of the damage, in accordance with the survey report, is the moisture in the Container, resulting either from: Stuffing of the goods in an atmosphere with a high hygrometry (湿度) Accidental wetting by rainwater during the course of stuffing Stowing the bags on wet wooden bases.Questions:(可用中文回答)(1)What shall we do according to the survey report?(2) If the shipper presented a loading inspection report as follows, what measures shall we take?
参考答案：(1)我司可以根据保单责任以及检验报告做出拒赔。上述检验报告所表明的货损原因在于潮湿的空气中装箱、装箱时遭遇雨湿或者在箱内潮湿的木架上装载货物，而根据CIF贸易条件，由卖方负责运输，装箱是卖方(发货人)承担的义务，显示在提单上即为Shipper’stow, count & seal，因此上述货损属于发货人责任所引起的损失，即保单的除外责任。(2)我司仍然可以拒赔。理由如下：1.该报告未对装箱时的空气湿度作检测;2.该报告仅指出集装箱本身清洁、干燥，并未涉及固定货物的托盘、木架的湿度和水份含量;3.该报告未就装箱时是否遭遇雨湿做出说明。4.该报告实际上仅就货物本身和集装箱箱体本身作了检验。综上，SGS公司的检验报告并不能排除货损是由于发货人的原因所造成的。

BProspects of development in the future.
CEnvisioned potential profits.
DThe high intrinsic value of the purchased corporation.
正确答案： B解析：
事实细节的找寻和判断。录音中提到东芝公司总裁对购买价格的看法是“…while the price might seem quite high, Toshiba had a lot of competition for the company and that the future growth and profit potential of the business made it the correct price”，可知虽然购买价格过于昂贵，但该公司面临大量的竞争，并且未来的发展和利润潜力也证实了这桩买卖还是合算的。分别对应选项A、B和C，而唯独没有提到选项D（被购买公司的巨大固有价值）的内容。 -
第18题：
单选题Which of the following statements is true according to what was said in the recording?AThe dollar rose to a new high against the curd.
BThe American economy has rebounded.
CJapan’s economy has not bottomed out yet.
DThe performance of many economies in Latin America is less than expected.
正确答案： B解析：
从录音中提到的“Not only has the American economy rebounded…”，可知美国经济反弹了，即开始发展，因此选B。
【录音原文】
Stockmarkets are sliding again; the gold price this week hit a seven-year high of $400 an ounce; and the dollar slumped to a new low against the euro. “So what’s new?” you might ask: the world economy clearly remains fragile. What is new, however, is the recent batch of better-than-expected figures on economic growth around the globe. Not only has the American economy rebounded, but Japan and the euro area are also now growing again, albeit more slowly. The news from some emerging economies is even more bullish. Many economies in Asia and Latin America enjoyed their fastest growth for years in the third quarter. Adding it all together, the world economy as a whole probably enjoyed its fastest growth for two decades. So why are the financial markets showing lack of confidence? -

第21题：
单选题According to the passage, the income gap between rich and poor could widen again as ______.Athe unemployment rate is lowered
Bthe increase of benefits is independent of price increase
Cthe income tax rate is increasing
Dthe increase of benefits is only based on prices
正确答案： A解析：
题目问的是：根据文章，富人和穷人间的收入差距可能会因为什么再次扩大？文章第2段提到“Some long-term sick...grow relatively poorer if... raise benefits only in line with prices.”，以及第5段提到“it could widen again if the real value of earnings accelerated away from the real value of prices-linked benefits”，表明了如果福利只与价格挂钩，不顾人们收入的真正价值，贫富差距很可能会拉大。故D正确。 -

第23题：
问答题Q3: What do you think the long-term effects of high staff turnover might be? (Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: It is evident that high staff turnover may have long-term effects on business success. Although once a rarity in business, open competition for other companies’ people is now an accepted fact. Fast-moving markets demand fast-moving organizations that are continuously refreshed with new talent. But no one is willing to see talent leave; when a good employee leaves, the business takes a hit.
B: I think staff changes might not necessarily be a bad thing for a company. Staff change may contribute to implementing targeted programs to keep the required talent in place. Jobs can be redesigned to reduce turnover. With staff changes, it is made possible for a company to promote loyalty , to work teams or to particular projects.解析： 暂无解析
