第1题：
Part 2 4. Islamic terrorism may be a distant threat for Shearer Lumber Products, a timber company based in Idaho. But eco-terrorism is a very real one. In November, the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an underground organization, gave warning that it had“spiked”trees in the Nez Perce national forest to protest against logging. Spiking involves hiding metal bars in tree trunks, thereby potentially crippling chain saws and hurting people. More such attacks are expected. How do they fit into America’s war on terrorism?
The nation’s forests have seen a sharp increase in violent incidents—equipment vandalized, people intimidated—over the past ten years. Shearer now carefully inspects every tree before cutting and has been using metal detectors to check every trunk being processed. Yet Ihor Mereszczak, of the Nez Perce Forest Service, says it has been hard to get the FBI’s attention, and investigations have got nowhere.
The ELF is only one thread in a web of underground radical environmentalists. Its aim is to inflict as much financial pain as possible on organizations or people who, by its lights, are exploiting the environment. The ELF, though made up of anonymous cells, nonetheless operates a website offering tips on how to cause fires with electric timers. Until recently, it also had a public spokesman.
Together with the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), which operates along the same lines, the ELF is estimated to be responsible for over $45m-worth of damage in North America over the past few years. In 1998, it caused fires that did $12m-worth of damage in Vail, Colorado, to make the point that the ski resort’s expansion was threatening places where lynxes live. Earlier this year, the ELF burned down the offices of a lumber company in Oregon. Since September 11th, the ALF and ELF have claimed responsibility for starting a fire at a primate research center in New Mexico, releasing mink from an Iowa fur farm, and firebombing a federal corral for wild horses in California.
Are they terrorists? The two groups reject the label, claiming to take all precautions against harming “animals, whether humans or not”. But earlier this year Louis Freeh, the FBI’s boss, listed both organizations among the most active domestic terrorist groups. Scott McInnis, the Republican congressman whose district includes Vail, argues it is only a matter of time before somebody gets hurt, and he now expects the FBI to put in more resources.
The House subcommittee on forests, which Mr McInnis heads, will hold a hearing on eco-terrorism in February. But he has annoyed some mainstream green groups by asking them to denounce the ELF’s and ALF’s methods. Greenpeace, for instance, says that its disapproval is self-evident, and resents being asked to express it. Mr. McInnis still wants their answer by December 1st, but the war on eco-terrorism is off to a rocky start.
第36题：What did the ELF do to Shearer Lumber Products?
［A］ Hurt its employees. ［B］ Crippled its equipments. ［C］ Hid metals in its trees. ［D］ Protested against its spiking.
正确答案：C

第2题：
Text 3 Employees are often said to be a company's biggest resource.It is equally true that they are its biggest liability.Scarcely a week goes by without a company falling victim to employees-turned-cnemies-or-embarrassments.The most familiar type of enemy within is the fraudster.The Economist Intelligence Unit conducts a regular poll of senior executives on the subject of fraud committed by insiders.Two year ago the poll discovered that about 70%of companies had suffered from at least one instance of fraud,up from 61%in the previous survey.Fraud is often petty.But fraud can also be more harmful:think of former employees setting up rivals using stolen technology and purloined client lists.Even more dangerous is the vandal.Thieves at least have a rational motive.Vandals are driven by a desire for revenge that can know no limit.A company that specialises in corporate investigation gives a detailed account of the story of a British manufacturing company that was under restructuring.A member of the infonnation technology department discovered that his name was on the list of people whose services would no longer be required.He built a"backdoor"into the company's IT system from his home computer and set about causing damage.What can companies do to reduce the threat from these wolves in sheep's clothing?A lot depends on which particular sorts ofwolves you are dealing with.Yet three principles are always worth bearing in mind.The first is that firms need to focus on the people who have the greatest capacity to do harm-those who control the money and information.The more complicated companies become,the harder it is to identify where power really lies.But one thing is clear.The more dependent on information firms get,the more IT specialists can compromise the whole business.The least companies can do is to keep a careful watch on the IT department.The second is that the human touch is still invaluable.Companies can certainly strengthen their hand by installing software that can identify unusual behaviour or monitor e-mail,or by employing professionals to double-check the accounts.The best way to avoid these problems is to treat our employees with respect.The biggest problem with trying to do more with less is that you can end up tuming your biggest resources into your biggest liabilities.
Companies should bear in mind that_____A.people with the greatest capacity should control the money
B.it's better to compromise with IT department
C.IT specialists should be carefully watched
D.power should be identified to different departments答案：C解析：事实细节题。根据定位词定位到第五段最后一句。该句提到keep a careful watch on the IT department（仔细留意IT部门）．故C项“应当小心防范IT专家”为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项，根据原文第五段第二句the peopleWho have the greatest capacity to do harm-those who control the money and informaiion（那些最有能力损害企业利益的员工，也就是那些掌握财务和信息的人），而并非让他们掌控财政．A项可排除；B项“最好与IT部门妥协”，原文第五段第五句提到the more IT specialists can compromise the whole business（IT专家对整个企业造成的危害就越大），此处compromise是“危害”的意思；D项，原文第五段第三句说The more complicated companies become，the harder it is to identify where power really lies（企业架构越复杂，查明权力掌握在谁手中就越困难）．并不是说权力应当分到不同的部门。 -

The study conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit informs us that_____A.many companies are stolen by thieves
B.a large number of companies suffer from liars
C.senior executives are more likely to commit fraud
D.rivals will steal technology and client lists答案：B解析：事实细节题。根据定位词定位到第二段第二句和第三句。题目问的是经济学人智库的调查表明了什么，第二段第三句指出约有70%的企业至少遭受一例诈骗事件，故B项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项“很多公司被小偷给盗取了”，原文中提到thieves（小偷），是指有的员工做了内鬼，盗取公司的资料等，并非公司真的被小偷盗窃；C项“企业高层更有可能进行诈骗”，此处企业高层是受调查的对象，而不是施行诈骗的人；D项“竞争对手会偷走技术和客户名单”，实际上偷走技术和客户信息的是本企业前员工，所以D项排除。 -

正确答案： B解析：
主旨题。整篇文章分别介绍了iMOVE数据库的功能和语言种类、职业培训项目特色以及该数据库较高的培训质量。由此可知，这是对该项目的宣传，文章应是一则广告，故择A。B项夸大其词，文章只是谈到了一个德国公司项目，没有涉及其他的德国公司。C项断章取义，文中提到项目在德国实施，但没有谈到雇佣员工的事情。D项望文生义，文章首段提到的各种语言是获取该项目信息的语言，与语言学习毫无关系。 -

BTerrorism could infringe upon human rights.
CThe terrorists may take revenge and harm innocent people.
DThe government may use anti-terrorism as an excuse to arbitrarily execute people it does not like.
正确答案： A解析：
该段录音描述到我们必须敦促政府确保在反对恐怖主义的同时“the cure does not become worse than the disease”，其中the cure指“反对恐怖主义的行动”，而the disease指“恐怖主义”，接着录音中提到“令人担心的是人权可能会成为反恐战争的collateral damage（附带伤害），尤其是反恐过程中出现的“presumption of innocence, freedom from arbitrary detention”，arbitrary detention指“随意扣押”，可见D项为正确答案。
【录音原文】
We must press governments to ensure that in attacking terror, the cure does not become worse than the disease. The worry is that in many countries human rights have become the “collateral damage” of the war on terrorism—in particular the presumption of innocence, freedom from arbitrary detention, due process. -

According to the case in Paragraph 3,we learn that____A.thieves will revenge without limits
B.specialists are undergoing danger in restructuring
C.IT department might let out secrets to employees
D.some employees deliberately cause damage to companies答案：D解析：事实细节题。根据定位词定位到第三段第三句Vandals are driven by a desire for revenge（破坏分子的动机是进行报复），故D项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项“盗贼会无节制地报复”，这里的小偷指上一段提到的盗取信息者，他们一般不会无节制地报复，会无节制报复的是vandals（破坏分子），所以A项可排除；B项“专家们在重组的过程中正经历危险”，这段话中提到的案例是专家给出的例子，专家没有参与这个公司的重建，B项属于拼凑原文的信息，可排除；C项，文章中说的是IT部门的一名员工蓄意实施破坏行为，而非IT部门泄密给员工，所以C项可排除。 -

B.hidden thieves in IT department
C.control the power of specialists
D.the best way to manage company staff答案：A解析：主旨大意题。本文从介绍公司员工的潜在危险，到危险员工的分类，再到对付危险员工的三大原则。所以A项最能概括全文。【干扰排除】B项“隐藏在IT部门的盗贼”，片面地概括了文章的内容；C项“控制专家们的权力”，这是防止内鬼的办法之一，但并不全面；D项“管理公司员工的最好方式”，不能全面概括文意。 -
第15题：
资料：Anything that affects the smooth flow of information is known as noise. This might be, for example, the language used,an in appropriate use of technology or the different levels of skill and knowledge of the sender and receiver. For example, every day in the press and on TV, consumers are bombarded with often confusing or contradictory information about the health benefits or risks associated with different foods. Consumers may not have enough understanding or information to judge between conflicting messages. It is therefore not surprising that many people do not hear these messages and switch off.
A company has to overcome a considerable amount of direct noise caused by the earlier negative press articles. By not responding to these immediately or correcting with facts, consumers are confused and the company loses credibility with the press and the public.
To achieve its vision and encourage consumers to eat turkey all year round, BM Company needs to give people more information in a way they can easily understand. It has there closed to highlight key facts about the products as the foundation for many of its messages.
Why do some companies lose credibility with the public?A.because the companies respond to the negative press article slowly.
B.because the companies fail to be in good relationships with the press.
C.because the market is so grueling and they don't perform well.
D.not mentioned答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】why; some companies lose credibility
【主题句】第2自然段By not responding to these immediately or correcting with facts, consumers are confused and the company loses credibility with the press and the public.由于没有立即对这些问题作出回应或纠正事实，消费者感到困惑，该公司在媒体和公众面前失去了信誉。
【解析】本题的问题是“为什么一些公司在公众面前失去了信誉？”。选项A意为“因为这些公司对负面新闻文章回应很慢”；选项B意为“因为这些公司没有和媒体保持良好的关系”；选项C意为“因为市场十分艰苦，而且这些企业表现不佳”；选项D意为“没有提到”。根据主题句可知，因为公司应对负面新闻文章缓慢，故选A。 -

BFree expression of opinions often leads to confusion.
CMost people tend to be careless in forming their opinions.
DCasual use of the word “opinion” often brings about quarrels.
正确答案： A解析：
细节归纳题。文章第一段第三句提到，就像你有权发表你的意见一样，我也有权发表我的意见。末段指出，是不是每个人都被赋予发表意见的权利？那当然。每个人都有发表个人意见的权利，这是中心内容。故A项“人人都有权拥有自己的意见”符合文章内容。文章首段第三句提到，若不太重视意见时，随意使用他不会引起乱子。可见，B项“自由发表意见常引起混乱”与原文不符。文章开头提到，对“意见”一词的使用分成三类：品位，信念和判断。对第一种的使用有些粗心，后两种不是，所以，C项“在构成意见上，大多数人往往是粗心的”与原文不符。文中仅在讲到品位时说明滥用意见一词会引起无聊的争吵，其他使用意见时没有D项“随便使用‘意见’一词，常引起吵架”意思。综上所述，A项正确。 -
