  • 第1题:

    (e) Briefly provide five reasons to the management of Bailey’s why financial rewards could be considered to improve motivation. (5 marks)


    正确答案:
    (e) There are issues at Bailey’s as a consequence of poor pay. Although non-financial motivation has an important role to play in encouraging commitment, the fact remains that financial rewards act as a strong motivating factor, especially in what has been a low pay business. Financial rewards are all encompassing and apply to all employees at all levels, are universally applicable, able to satisfy all types of need and simple to apply and understand. At Bailey’s, financial rewards have a greater effect because they can provide recognition and prestige if pay is improved, are seen as the most important hygiene factor(especially in a business with a history of low pay and low morale) and are a measure of achievement against goals, especially if some form. of bonus or performance related pay is introduced by the new management at Bailey’s. In addition, financial rewards are a basis for satisfaction and are often used as a form. of professional or social comparison outside the organisation.

    American Sports
    The United States is a sports-loving nation.Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory;athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found;and hunting and fishing.Most sports are seasonal,so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year.Some sports are called spectator sports,as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.
    Baseball is the most popular sport in the US.It is played throughout the spring and sum-mer,and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.Although no other game is exact-ly like baseball,perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.
    Football is the most popular sport in the fall.The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago.It is still played by almost every college and university in the coun-try,and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people.The game is not the same as European football or soccer.In American football there are 11 players on each team,and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.
    Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football,basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries.Many Americans prefer it to foot-ball because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.It is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than 20 states,state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
    Other spectator sports include wrestling,boxing,and horse racing.Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen,the accuracy of the term is questionable,as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes.The so-called sportsmen are the spectators,who do“not assemble” primarily to see the horses race,but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.

    Horse-racing fans cannot be considered sportsmen because they are spectators whose primary interest is gambling.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    题干意为“在美国,男人们,无论老少,都喜欢打猎和钓鱼”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语hunting, fishing, men, US作为定位线索,同时关注题干中的修饰词young, old,这样找到相关句Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles,which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory;athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing,相关句意为“在美 国,运动有各种各样的形式:有组织的比赛争夺,吸引着众多的人群去为他们最喜欢的队取得胜利而喝彩,为了消遣只要能找到足够的场地就举行的竞技活动,此外,还有打猎和捕鱼。” 由相关句可知“打猎和钓鱼是美国人的两种运动形式”,但至于什么样的人喜欢打猎和捕鱼却没有提到,短文的其他部分也没有谈到这样的内容,因此是否主要是男人们喜欢打猎和捕鱼 是从短文中无法获取的信息。
    题干意为“职业棒球队在春夏两个赛季结束之后还可以在秋季继续进行比赛很长时间”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语professional baseball teams , the regular baseball seasons,a long period of time, fall, spring, summer作为定位线索,这样找到相关句 Baseball is the most popular sport in the US.It is played throughout the spring and summer (对应the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer),and professional baseball teams play well into the fall(对应a long period of time in the fall).相关句提到“整个春夏两个赛季人们都在打棒球,职业棒球比赛进入秋季后还可以持续很长时间”。很明显,题干句意义与 短文中相关内容一致。
    题干意为“棒球比赛和英国的板球比赛之间有很多共同点”。利用题干中的 名词和名词短语baseball, English game of cricket, many features作为定位线索,这样找到相 关句Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket(英国板球比赛),相关句提到“与棒球运动最接近的是英国的板球运动”,这与题干句的句意一致,因此题干句陈述了正确的信息。
    题干意为“足球可以被归类为一种观赏性的运动”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语football , spectator sport作为定位线索,这样找到相关句Some sports are called spectator sports , as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game(第一段最后一 句)… the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people。相关句提到“最大的大学足球体育馆能容纳下八万名观众”,而根据spectator sports的定义(观众的人数大大地超过参加比赛的球员的人数),由此可以得出这样的结论:足球是观赏性的运动。有的阅读判断题考查考生依据所给的阅读材料进行分析和推断的能力。
    题干意为“许多美国人同橄榄球相比更喜欢篮球,因为橄榄球比赛很粗鲁,所以球员们都必须得穿上特别的制服”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语many Americans, basketball,football, players, special uniforms作为定位线索,这样找到相关句Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football,basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries.Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game。相关句提到“许多美国 人喜欢篮球胜过橄榄球是因为篮球整个冬季可以在室内比赛,而且节奏更快”,显然短文中陈 述的美国人更喜欢篮球的原因与题干陈述的原因不一致。
    题干意为“在美国篮球在大学里是如此的受欢迎以至于每年都会举行全国范围内的篮球比赛”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语basketball , American , universities , nationwide university matches作为定位线索,这样找到相关句It(指篮球)is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than 20 states,state-wide high school matches(与na-tionwide university matches相对应)are held yearly,相关句意为“篮球在美国中学里非常流行,在20多个州里每年都要举行全州规模的中学篮球比赛”,但该句没有提到大学是否每年都要举行全国性的比赛。整篇短文中也没有提到大学是否会每年举行全国性比赛。
    题干意为“赛马迷不能被认为是运动员,因为他们是观众,他们主要的兴趣是赌博”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语horse-racing fans, sportsmen, spectators, primary interest , gambling作为定位线索,这样发现相关句Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing,and horse racing.…The so-called sportsmen are the spectators,who do“not assemble”primarily to see the horses race,but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the attraction of horse racing,相关句提到“赛马比赛吸引人之处是赌博,赛马迷只是对赌博感兴趣”,显然相关句与题干意义一致。

    D

    they do not benefit students

    E

    正确答案: C
    解析:

    第二篇

    Kobe Bryant

    After 10 seasons wearing the No.8 on his back,Kobe Bryant will become No.24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.
    Bryant wore No.24 when he was in early high school,but he changed to No.33 in his senior year. He switched to No.8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996,and has not been changed since.
    Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs(季后赛).So guessing Bryant's motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists(专栏作家).
    There are all kinds of speculations.Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole.Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan.Jordan was famous for his No. 23 jersey(运动衫).Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Venter, argue that it is "all about money".Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.
    Some speculations are more about fun.For example,there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard(非常执著的)fan of the popular TV drama "24".
    All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue.It seems that there is a lot of fuss (大惊小怪)over something that should be pretty simple.
    Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports,especially basketball. Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires,his team will honor him by retiring his number.
    To some extent,the jersey is the player,and the player is the jersey.Thus,when you see the famous No.23 for the Chicago Bulls,you immediately think about Michael Jordan.a No.32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille O'Neal,and the Houston Rockets' No.11 belongs only to Yao Ming.
    Lots of stories are behind players' jersey number selections.Jordan said that he chose No.23 because it was roughly half of 45.Jordan's elder brother wore the No.45 in college.Yao Ming once revealed that the No.11 stands for two people in love-meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.

    Why did Jordan choose No.23?
    A:Because that number would make him famous.
    B:Because that number would make his fans miss him.
    C:Because that number was related to the number his brother once wore.
    D:Because that number was easy to remember.

    答案:C
    解析:
    问题:布莱恩特在哪支球队打球?文章第一段提到布莱恩特是洛杉矶湖人队的超级后卫。因此,正确答案为选项A“洛杉矶湖人队”。
    问题:布莱恩特穿着8号球衣多长时间了?文章第一句提到,10个赛季身着8号球衣之后,下个赛季,科比·布莱恩特的球衣号码将改为24号。一个赛季是一年,因此答案为10个赛季。
    问题:根据本文描述,以下有关布莱恩特改变球衣号码动机的猜测哪个是错误的? 文章第四段有关布莱恩特动机的猜侧涉及了A、B、C三个选项。因此,选项D是答案。
    问题:为什么乔丹选择23号球衣?文章最后三段主要谈论球衣号码背后的故事,提到了乔丹选择23号球衣与乔丹的哥哥在大学穿着的球衣号码有关。因此,答案是C。
    问题:姚明选择的球衣号码代表了什么? 文章最后一句是答案所在。姚明曾经表示11号代表了他和女朋友叶莉两个人的爱情。因此,答案是C“两个人的爱情”。

    问答题
    Satire exists because there is need for it. It has lived because readers appreciate a refreshing stimulus, an irreverent reminder that they live in a world of platitudinous thinking, cheap moralizing, and foolish philosophy. Satire serves to prod people into an awareness of truth, though rarely to any action on behalf of truth. Satire tends to remind people that much of what they see, hear, and read in popular media is sanctimonious, sentimental, and only partially true. Life resembles in only a slight degree the popular image of it. Soldiers rarely hold the ideals that movies attribute to them, nor do ordinary citizens devote their lives to unselfish service of humanity. Intelligent people know these things but tend to forget them when they do not hear them expressed.

    正确答案:
    讽刺作品之所以存在是因为人们需要它。它存续至今,是因为读者欣赏爽身怡心的刺激和不拘谦恭的告诫,它提醒读者,他们生活的世界里充满了陈腐的思想意识、低俗的道德说教和愚蠢的哲学理念。讽刺作品虽然很少代表真理促成行动,但它却能使人们感悟到真理。讽刺作品常常告诉人们,他们在大众媒体中所看到的、听到的、读到的大多是伪装善良、多愁善感或只有部分真实。生活只在很小的程度上与大众对它的印象相符。士兵们很少拥有电影赋予他们的理想,而普通老百姓也决不会把自己的生命无私地奉献给人道主义服务。聪明人知道这些事实,但是当周围人不谈起时,他们常常会忘记掉。

    Why did she want Michael Jackson’s manager to be her manager too?
    A

    She knew he was associated with many record producers.

    B

    She was impressed by what he had done for Michael Jackson.

    C

    She wanted to be more famous than Michael Jackson.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    根据女士的话Apparently she asked herself who managed the biggest actor in the world. And of course that was Michael Jackson’s manager可知麦当娜对杰克逊的经纪人十分看好,故选他做自己的经纪人,而不是要超越杰克逊或者是利用他接触唱片制作人。
    【录音原文】
      W: In the studio today, we had Jonas Day, who’s just won an award for student journalism with an article about Madonna for his college newspaper. Jonas, welcome! I believe Madonna herself ring to congratulate you.
      M: It’s true that I had a letter from her PR Company, but I didn’t speak to her myself.
      W: So let’s start the beginning. She was born in Detroit in 1958. Is that right?
      M: Actually, at a place called Rochester.
      W: All right, OK. Tell us how her career took off.
      M: Well, of course the thing most people don’t associate with Madonna is the fact that she is chief executive of a large company called Maverick Entertainment which is a multi-million dollar company and dares her more than her records and films.
      W: Yes, her image is certainly different, isn’t it? She’s had a lot of bad publicity about her private life, hasn’t she?
      M: She said at the time that what they said in the newspapers took her by surprise. She believed her life to be totally under control. Everything she had ever done has been carefully planned. You know, in order to get a record contract when she came to New York, she went to clubs where she knew record producers went. She even managed to get an appointment with the head of Sier Records when he was in hospital. He reckoned she was a very determined lady.
      W: I heard a similar story about how she got a manager. Apparently she asked herself who managed the biggest actor in the world. And of course that was Michael Jackson’s manager. And she decided she wanted him to manage her too. She just walked into his office and told him.
      M: Well, there you have it: determination, charm, intelligence and above all, talent.
