问答题Q3: What important differences do you think there are between, selling to consumer abroad and selling to domestic markets? （Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: Possibly cultural diversity is one of the most important differences between selling to consumer abroad and selling to domestic markets. Different nationalities have different expectations when it comes to how employers and employees should behave. National culture is perhaps a major obstacle to making global businesses effective. National values are directly linked to organizational decision-making. Most international human resources managers will experience these expectation differences firstly..
B: There are several factors that influence decision-making, such as recruiting new employees, promoting staff, fixing salary levels, and making staff redundant. All these factors are concerned with cultural values. It is safe to say that cultural values have a great effect on management decision making. For example, one relationship is is established on the basis of shared expectations, which are common to employees of the same nationality. In America, typical of this is the belief that individuals should receive salary gains but doesn’t have to share them with lower-performance colleagues. But in some other countries, this will get nowhere. Nevertheless, it is only with this awareness can employees from diverse nationalities appreciate their differences and build mutual understanding.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 9: Primary Functions of University Education Questions for Reference: 1. Most people think that teachers should teach students how to judge right and wrong and how to behave well. Please discuss this view. 2. Why do you think lots of teachers pay much more attention to teaching students academic subjects than other aspects? 3. What’s your opinion of the primary functions of university education? Why do you think so?正确答案： 【参考答案】
There is no doubt that helping students find a job is one of the primary functions of university education, but universities do exist for other purposes such as improving students’ analytical skills and raising students’ moral standards.
A university education can be seen as a process of improving students’ analytical thinking. The variety of courses offered at university inspires students in various ways, therefore improving their analytical ability. For example, science courses such as math and biology help students develop a rational way of thinking whereas arts courses such as literature let students ponder over issues from a logical, multi-dimensional perspective; and courses in social sciences force students to recognize the ideas that have been traditionally assumed to be acceptable and unproblematic. With the development of these types of analytical thinking, graduates can face future challenges with more confidence and enthusiasm.
Also, university education is expected to improve students’ moral standards. This is rooted in universities? Belief that students’ awareness of responsibility towards their community and their country is of high importance. In this ever-degrading society and civilization, students are encouraged actively participate in improving the local community. A university that provides care and facilities for physically disadvantaged students may inspire the graduates to better handle situations in the future where they may have to interact with the disabled community. A successful university education is supposed to produce morally sound graduates, therefore increasing their employability.
In conclusion, university education not only helps students locate a decent job but will also develop other qualities such as enhancing their analytical skills and cultivating their hunger and spirit for life.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题题目要求: In this part of the test, the examiner reads out a scenario and gives you some prompt material in the form of pictures or words. You have 30 seconds to look at the task prompt, an example of which is below, and then about two minutes to discuss the scenario with your partner. After that, the examiner will ask you more questions related to the topic.Practice 1 For two or three candidates I’m going to describe a situation. Your company is going to rent offices. Talk together about the topics you could include when you decide to rent offices. Decide which 3 topics you think are most important. * three minutes for groups of three candidates Prompt material Topics to include ●Location ●Cost ●Transportation Follow-up questions: (l) Are facilities important when renting office? (Why? / Why not? ) (2) Do you think security system should be safe? (Why? / Why not? ) (3) Why do big companies also choose big office buildings? (Why? / Why not? )正确答案： 【参考范例】
A: You see. Our company is thinking about renting offices. What do you think should be taken into consideration before making a decision?
B: I think first we should consider the location. The offices should be better in the commercial area of the city, for it is easier for our company to be found and to exchange information with other companies in the area.
A: You are right. A good location will allow a company to do business more efficiently.
B: Moreover, I think cost is another factor that we need to consider. If the location is in the commercial area, the cost of renting may be very high.
A: That’s true. If the cost of the location is too high, it will certainly exceed the company’s budget. But if the price is reasonable, we can take it. After all, the cost should be on the average of the city.
B: Absolutely. What about the transportation?
A: The location should have good transport connection, and the transportation should be very convenient, linking the bus stop, subway, high way, the airport or the harbor. Then, the customers can get to our company without too much difficulty. .解析： 暂无解析 -
第6题：
问答题Some people believe that a college or university education should be available to all students. Others believe that higher education should be available only to good students. Which view do you agree with and why?正确答案：
Most universities require the completion of a secondary, or high school education for admission. They also require proof of academic performance to guarantee that the student has the knowledge and skills needed to successfully complete their higher education. I believe that if a student has a poor academic record through their primary and secondary education,they should not be allowed to attend university.
In the first place, a university education should be considered a privilege, not a right. A consistent effort must be made through the first two lower stages of a person’s education in order for them to earn the right to study in university. When I was in high school, I saw many students skip class regularly to shop, smoke drugs, or just because they “didn’t feel like” going to class. The obvious result was low grades. These students were all at least 17 or 18 years old, old enough to understand the value of their education. However, they did not value their secondary education and therefore,in my opinion, should not have the opportunity to study in university.
In the second place, because education is cumulative, a student must work consistently through primary and secondary school to master facts and establish a foundation of knowledge in order to meet the demanding academic requirements of university courses. In primary and secondary school, students have the opportunity to develop their writing skills and analytical abilities, both essential to learn to cope with the challenges of higher learning. For students without the appropriate skills,success is unlikely. One university I attended published statistics showing a 50% dropout rate for first year students; the main reason listed was that the students were unprepared for the rigor of university life.
In the third place, the limited educational resources at present in China make it almost impossible to provide every student with a college or university education. This means that students have to fight for their admission to the colleges and universities. As long as the present competition for higher education goes, it is not realistic to talk about letting every student have higher education. Competition for a successful walk through the single—plank bridge of college entrance examination is the most fair way to determine that privilege to higher education in China.
Many people take their education for granted. In my high school, most people only needed to make a little effort to maintain an A or B average, but there were still many people who weren’t willing to make any effort at all. I am sure that these people without proven track records should not, have the privilege of attending university’ especially when higher education resources are not abundant.解析：

问答题Q5: Do you think changes to working practices could avoid the need for larger premises? (Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: Yes, I think changes to working practices could avoid the need for larger premises. With progress and visionary, managers can dedicate themselves to challenging discrimination and promoting equality among employees. More benefits should be offered to staff, which will help get the best out of the staff. Benefits at the company include occupational pension, family friendly policies, flexible working hours and the chance to be directly involved in an issue you have passion for. If the managers realize the key role every member of their team plays in the company, they’ll be able to run the office more smoothly.
B: The need for larger premises is inevitable, but asking staff to take decisions will improve their efficiency and moral. Even giving minor tasks to others might be seen as a way of sharing. However, it takes a great deal of flexibility to be successful in this challenging and demanding role. With an exemplary work ethic and an extremely organized approach, you can provide high level and dedicated support. From co-coordinating meetings and managing an exceptionally busy schedule, to making travel arrangements, producing documents and organizing various activities, you will be able to meticulously plan each day whilst using your creativity and initiative to make full sue of your time.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Follow-up questions Interlocutor: Q1: Do you think frequent staff changes are good or bad for a company?(Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: I don’t think frequent staff changes are good for a company. To stay afloat in fierce competition, companies must retain skilled hands. I like skilled hands and I think it is the same thing with all employers. Employers are aware of the priceless value of know-how and experience. Skilled hands make all the difference, for the experienced employees and skilled hands know the way to satisfy the most demanding clientele. When an experienced employee leaves, he may take away with him some valuable connections and information, as well as a group of existing customers. Without the experienced staff, you are certain to lose your customers. As a result, you’ll lose everything in competition.
B: Staff changes directly affect the success of a variety of approaches in sales and sales management. Although frequent staff changes might bring negative result to a company, however, frequent staff changes may also exert a positive influence on the success in business by getting rid of the stale and taking in the fresh. Since some employees are getting stale, they need a change. A change will turn out to be beneficial to both employees and the company. A market-driven approach to retention is available, which is based on the assumption that long-term, across-the-board loyalty is neither possible nor desirable.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 10：Work to Live or Live to Work? Questions for reference: 1) Why do people live? 2) Are people really aware of the reasons why they work? 3) How do you balance work and life?正确答案： 【参考答案】
Living in a highly competitive society, the idea that the purpose of life is to work is prevalent even dominant. Most bread earners believe that financial guarantee is more realistic and more important for a person and for his family. So they take for granted that devoting to work is the most reasonable and worthy thing to do.
Nevertheless, objectors think that work is only a means to have a better life. They argue that there are more important things than work in life, such as friends, personal interests, social responsibilities and so or. They think that life will be dull and meaningless with work as its aim.
In my opinion, we should strike a balance between work and life. On the one hand, to be a diligent worker is necessary and meaningful. On the other hand, we should not be workaholic, or we will lose many significant things in life, such as love and friendship. 解析： 暂无解析 -

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 -

问答题◆Topic 10: Government’s Control of Violence in Media Questions for Reference: 1. What negative effects could be brought by the violence in films and on television to our society according to your observation? 2. Do you agree that the government’s control of the amount of violence in films and on television would limit our right of free speech? Why /Why not? 3. Some people put that it is in our best interest as a society for the government to censor broadcast media for violence. Do you think so? Why /Why not?正确答案： 【参考答案】
Whether the government should control the amount of violence in films and on television in order to decrease the violent crimes in society involves a conflict between our right of free speech and the duty of the government to protect its citizenry from potential harm. In my view, our societal interest in preventing the harm that exposure to violence produces takes precedence over the rights of individuals to broadcast this type of content.
First of all, I believe that exposure to violence does indeed cause similar behavior on the part of those who are exposed to it. Although we may not have conclusive scientific evidence of a cause effect relationship, ample anecdotal evidence establishes a significant correlation. Moreover, both common sense and our experiences with children inform us that people tend to mimic the behavior they are exposed to.
Secondly, I believe that violence is indeed harmful to a society. The harm it produces is, in my view, both palpable and profound. For the individual, it has a debasing impact on vital human relationships: for the society, it promotes a tendency toward antisocial behavior. Both outcomes, in turn, tear apart the social fabric that holds a society together.
Those who advocate unbridled individual expression might point out that the right of free speech is intrinsic to a democracy and necessary to its survival. Even so, this right is not absolute, nor is it the most critical element. In my assessment, the interests served by restricting violence in broadcast media are, on balance, more crucial to the survival of a society.
In sum, it is in our best interest as a society the government to censor broadcast media for violence. Exposure to such media content tends to harm society and its citizenry in ways that are worth preventing, even in light of the resulting infringement of our right of free expression.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题◆Topic 8: Is education Losing its Value? Questions for reference: 1. Some people think that this increased access to education is devaluing degrees. What’s your point of view? 2. What can the degrees bring to people? 3. Do you think it’s necessary to have increased emphasis on degrees in our society? Why?正确答案： 【参考答案】
People have several arguments against the need for degrees. They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree. People lose respect for the degree holder. It is also claimed that education has become a rat race. Graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of studying.
Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to. learners becoming inflexible. They know a lot about one narrow subject, but are unable to apply their skills. Employers prefer more flexible and adaptable workers.
However, I feel strongly that this move to having more qualifications is a positive development.
In the past education was only for the rich and powerful. Now it is available to everyone, and this will have many advantages for the country and the individual. First of all, it is impossible to be overeducated. The more people are educated, the better the world will be, because people will be able to discuss and exchange ideas. A further point is that people with degrees have many more opportunities. They can take a wider variety of jobs and do what they enjoy doing, instead of being forced to take a job they dislike. Finally, a highly educated workforce is good for the economy of the country. It attracts foreign investment.
In conclusion, although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education, I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Q6: Do you think the location of a company’s premises is important for its competitiveness? (Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: I think the location of a company’s premises is important for its competitiveness. Location is vital to a company’s business. Companies should build themselves according to clients’ needs. There are a great number of uncertainties and worries about the competition, which in turn result in inefficient working. With a good location, you will have the edge over your competitors.
B: Company’s location is very important for its competitiveness. When your company is prominently located in a well-established and fast growing corporate business area, the site will be shared with an impressive selection of organizations and companies. A good location means easy access to public transport for the company with a great number of bus routes servicing the area. Metro stations will also be within walking distance.

问答题Q5: What do you think are the benefits to customers of a global marketplace? (Why?/Why not?)正确答案：
A: A global marketplace can benefit customers in a big way. The significance of competition in our economy cannot be denied. In an age of rapid change, through innovation or through improvement world competition can be the vehicle of change. Without a global marketplace, the customers will not have goods many choices of products and services. Without competition, the consumers will have to pay high price for products, and there is no way for them to enjoy impeccable service. Without competition, the firms may not offer consumers high quality products or best service.
B: While companies will have greater space to develop their businesses in global marketplace, the customers will have a wide choice of the goods and services. Consumers seek the best values for their money while producers look for the best price and profit for their products or service. Government seeks to promote the public safety, assure fair competition, and provide a range of services which are believed to be better performed by public instead of by private enterprise. In this system, when economic forces are unfettered, supply and demand decides the price of goods and services. Enterprises will feel free to develop their businesses. Theoretically, if they cannot provide goods or services of quality and price to compete with others, they will be driven from the market. As a result, only the most efficient and those who best serve the public will remain in business.解析： 暂无解析 -

To: Mr. Walker, Human Resources Director
From: Zhang Gao, Translating Coordinator
Date: May 16, 2012
Subject: Management Skills Most Suitable for Foreign Language Translators
The Company has planned three training courses for all foreign language translators for the next three months and I have been required to recommend one course as being the most suitable.
The three courses from which a choice may be made are as follows:
(i)English Language Development; (ii) Changes in Technology; (iii) Management Skills.
All translators in the Company have college degrees in English Language and a lot of colleagues in our field have postgraduate qualifications in Translation or Linguistics. Since English Language Training Course of the Company is only to Diploma level and contains nothing new to us, it is not useful for us and is best left to other colleagues.
Two months ago all Company’s translators finished an excellent “Changes in Technology” course, which brought us up-to-date information on use of machine translating and personal computers. Obviously, there is no need for us to attend the “Changes in Technology” course again.
Undoubtedly the “Management Skills” course is the best choice for the Company’s translators. Recently it has been announced that next year our department will be divided into four sections, each of which will serve a specific division of a much-expanded Company. We will recruit twenty new English Language graduates as new translators, five to each section. We four existing translators will be promoted as Heads of Section.
All four of us are shortage of management skills and, when we manage our own sections, such skills will be indispensable. As a result, I will recommend without hesitation that all translators be enrolled for the “Management Skills” training course.解析： 暂无解析 -
