听力原文：W: Mr. Smith, how shall we deliver your goods, by sea or by air? M: Well, I prefer delivering them by train. Q: How does the man like the goods to be delivered?

4．

A．By sea. B．By air. C．By train. D．By truck.

正确答案：D

C．Invite the woman to his company. D．Place an order with the woman.

7．

A．An advertising brochure. B．A price list.

C．An invitation letter. D．A few samples.

正确答案：B

解析：事实细节题。题目询问女士将要给男士发送什么。女士在对话中说到“我马上把最新报价单通过电子邮 件发给您”，其中的“报价单”与B项的price list对应，故B项为正确答案。

听力原文：W: Hi, this is room 566. M: Yes, Madam. How can I help you? W: Could you book a taxi for me to the airport tomorrow morning? M: Sure. What time do you want the taxi? W: My flight is at 8:30.

8．

A．At a hotel. B．At the airport. C．In a restaurant. D．In a bank.

正确答案：A

解析：场景推断题。本题询问对话最可能发生在哪里。对话一开头女士所说的房号Room 566就透露了对话发生在酒店住客和前台之间，即发生在酒店里，可见本题答案应为A项At a hotel。

9．

A．To buy a ticket. B．To book a taxi. C．To place an order.

D．To make an appointment.

正确答案：B

解析：事实细节题。题目询问女士为什么打电话。女士一开头报完房号后，马上就提到了她致电前台的目的，“预订明早去机场的出租车”，B项To book a taxi(预订出租车)为本题答案。

10．

A．By 7:00. B．By 8:00. C．By 9:00. D．By 10:00.

正确答案：C

解析：细节推断题。题目询问女士明早最可能几点钟离开酒店。对话中提到了几个时间点，女士的航班是8：30，从酒店去机场只需30分钟，所以前台建议女士7点从酒店出发就可以了，而女士也听从这个建议，决定7点搭乘出租车离开酒店，可见，本题应选A项By 7：00。

Section CDirections: In this section you will hear a recorded short passage．The passage is printed in the test paper，but with some words or phrases missing．The passage will be read two times．

听力原文： An interviewer sometimes starts with an open-ended question like “Could you tell me something about yourself?” It is a way to break the ice and make you feel comfortable during the interview. It is also a way for the interviewer to know more about your personality to help him or her to decide if you are a good fit for the job. It is not a good idea to talk too much about yourself because the interviewer doesn’t want to know everything about you. But on the other hand, telling too little can make him or her wonder why you aren’t more open. So it’s a good idea to share some personal interests. These interests may not relate to your work.

An interviewer sometimes starts with an open-ended question like “Could you tell me something about yourself?” It is a way to break the ice and make you feel【T1】______during the interview. It is also a way for the interviewer to know more

about your personality to help him or her to【T2】______if you are a good fit for the job. It is not a good idea to talk too much about yourself because the interviewer doesn’t want to know everything about you. But on the other hand, telling【T3】______can make him or her wonder why you aren’t more open. So it’s a good idea to share some【T4】______These interests may not【T5】______your work.

11． 【T1】

正确答案：comfortable

解析：空格处位于系动词feel后面，应该需要填入形容词，与系动词feel构成系表结构。结合录音，此处应填入形容词comfortable“舒服的”。

12． 【T2】

正确答案：decide

解析：空格位于不定式符号to后，可确定空格需填入原形动词。结合录音，此处应填入decide“决定”。

13． 【T3】

正确答案：too little 解析：空格与其前面的telling一起构成全句的主语。本句开头的On the other hand(另一方面)提示本句内容与上一句形成对比，上一句提到“说得太多”不好，本句应该要说的是“说得太少”也不妥，结合录音可确定答案为too little。

14． 【T4】

正确答案：personal interests

解析：空格前是限定词some，表明此处应填入名词。再根据下一句开头的These interests可以推断空格应该是某种interests，因为指示代词these有回指上文内容的功能。结合录音可确定空格处应填入personal interests“个人兴趣”.

15． 【T5】

正确答案：relate to

解析：空格前有情态动词may，提示空格处应填入原形动词，结合录音可确定空格处应填入relate to“相关”。

Section DDirections: This section is to test your ability to comprehend short passages．You will hear a recorded passage．After that you will hear five questions．Both the passage and the questions will be read two times．When you hear a question，you should

听力原文：Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to our company, Family Dollar. Today I’ll first give you a brief introduction about our company. Then I’ll discuss with you what jobs are available at present and how to apply for them. Family Dollar is a chain of stores that operate within the United States. Our main products are clothing, food items, and household products. We have been in business for more than 50 years and become a large company. We are always looking for talented young people, with related working experience to join our team. You may wonder where to find job openings at Family Dollar. The most obvious place is our website. If you are interested, you can visit our website and make your application online.

16． What does the speaker talk about first in his speech? The speaker first gives______ about his company.

正确答案：a brief introduction / an introduction about

解析：题目询问说话人一开始要谈什么。短文开头说话人就点明了I’ll first give you a brief introduction，故空格可根据录音直接填入a brief introduction或概括为an introduction。

17． What are the main products of the company? Clothing,______and household products.

正确答案：food items

解析：题目询问公司的主要产品有哪些。抓住空格前后的clothing和household products去听原文，在上下文就能听到答案food items。

18． How long has the company been in business? Over______.

正确答案：50 years

解析：题目询问该公司已开业多久。题目的how long提示答案应该是表示“多久”的一个数字。原文提到的数字就只有一个more than 50 years，可见此处应填入50。

19． Where can people find job openings at Family Dollar? On its______.

正确答案：website

解析：题目询问在哪里可以找到有关“家庭财富”公司的职位空缺的信息。题目的问题也是说话人自己提出的问题(You may wonder where to…)，他在提出了这个问题之后自问自答，马上提供了答案：The most obvious place is our—website．表明在其“网站”就能找到相关信息，因此，空格处应填入website一词。

20． How can people apply for the jobs? They can make their application______.

正确答案：online / on the website / on its website

解析：题目询问申请工作职位的途径。短文末尾提到make your application online，故空格可根据录音直接填入online一词，或者表达相近意思的on the website或on its website。

Part II Structure (10 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your ability to use words and phrases correctly to construct meaningful and grammatically correct sentences．It consists of 2 sections．

Section ADirections: There are 10 incomplete statements here．You are required to complete each statement by choosing the appropriate answer from the 4 choices marked A)，B)，C) and D)．

21． _____ the investigation, the committee published the report on the cause of the accident.

A．Completed B．Completing

C．Having completed D．To have completed

正确答案：C 解析：本题考查分词作状语的用法。本题开头提到的investigation(调查)和主句当中提到的“委员会发表事故原因的报告”存在着时间的先后顺序，一般来说，要先调查，才能下结论发表报告，因此，状语的分词应为现在完成式，表示“调查”发生在前，可见本题答案为C项Having completed。

22． The report shows that over half of the women are suffering _____ second-hand smoke at the workplace.

A．in B．for C．on D．from

正确答案：D

解析：本题考查suffer from．．．的词组搭配。当suffer用作不及物动词的时候，一般只和介词from搭配，构成固定词组suffer from…意为“遭受……”。

23． Our goal is to fulfill the needs of our clients, _____ challenging they may be.

A．however B．whenever C．wherever D．whatever

正确答案：A

解析：本题考查引出让步状语从句的连词用法。本题四个选项都可用于引出让步状语从句，其中A项however意为“无论怎么……”，表示程度，其后一般为形容词或副词。本题空格后的challenging为形容词，因此A项however正确。

24． Only after the secretary saw the train disappear in sight _____ the railway station.

A．he leaves B．has he left C．he left

D．did he leave

正确答案：D

解析：本题考查倒装句的用法。only放在句子开头会引起句子的主谓倒装，only引起的倒装句为半倒装句，即助动词与主语的倒装，符合这个规律的有B项has he left和C项he left，再根据题目中的时间状语从句的提示可以知道主句应为一般过去时，两点结合可确定本题答案为D项did he leave。

25． If they had worked harder, they_____. the project ahead of time. A．will finish

B．would have finished C．have finished D．had finished

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查与过去事实相反的虚拟语气句。根据条件从句引导词If和从句时态had worked就可推断本句陈述的与“过去”事实相反，在这样的虚拟语气句的主句中，动词时态应为would have done，故本题应选B项would have finished。A项will finish和C项have finished都不用在虚拟句中。D项hadfinished可用于虚拟句中，但只用于从句，而非主句。

26． The company has decided to sponsor the exhibition, ______helps to promote its image.

A．that B．who C．what D．which

正确答案：D 解析：本题考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。空格前的逗号表明空格应为非限制性定语从句的引导词，而且该引导词代指的是主句整句的内容，在四个选项中，只有D项which能引导这样的非限制性定语从句。

27． The newly appointed manager is said to be neither flexible _____ easy to get along with.

A．or B．and C．nor D．but

正确答案：C

解析：本题考查并列连词neither．．．nor的用法。neither．．．nor总是一起出现，意为“既不……也不……”。

28． _____ salaries may not be high, working as a nursing assistant does have some other benefits.

A．Unless B．While C．As D．Since

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查让步状语从句连词。从句子前后“工资不高”和“有其他优势”的对比可推断句子开头需要的是表示转折的连词，能表示“虽然……但是……”意思的有B项While和C项As，但是as引导让步状语从句时，用倒装语序，所以正确答案为B。

29． How we pack the products has a significant impact _____ the cost of logistics.

A．of B．on C．to D．with

正确答案：B

解析：本题考查与impact搭配的介词。当impact用作名词表示“影响”的时候，与其搭配的介词只能是on。have an impact on…意为“对……产生影响”。

30． _____ impressed me most about the school is how it was designed to support both the students and the community.

A．What B．That C．This D．Which

正确答案：A

解析：本题考查主语从句引导词。本题需要的是主语从句的引导词，该引导词在从句当中还代指“让我印象深刻的‘事情’”，具有这种功能和语义的是A项What。C项This不用于引导主语从句。B项That和D项Which亦可引导主

语从句，但which在从句中的成分大多是修饰、定语的成分。例如：Which teamwill win the game is still unknown(哪一个队伍会赢得比赛还是不得而知。)在该例句中，which起到了限定team的作用。最具干扰性的是B项，关于what和that的区别，将在下面“避错指南”详述。

Section BDirections: There are also 5 incomplete statements here．You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in the brackets．

31． For the sake of our long-term(cooperate)______, we may consider reducing the price by 10 per cent.

正确答案：cooperation

解析：本题考查动词和名词的转化。空格前的our long-term是定语成分，表明空格应为名词。cooperate是动词，可通过在其后加上后缀一tion，变成适合本题要求的名词cooperation。

32． Here you will find some(value)______resources to help you develop communication skills.

正确答案：valuable

解析：本题考查名词和形容词的转化。空格前的some和空格后的名词resources表明空格应填写形容词。value可用作动词或名词，其对应的形容词形式是valuable。

33． Driving has long been thought of as(efficient)______ than flying, but according to new research, that is no longer the case.

正确答案：more efficient

解析：本题考查形容词比较级的使用。根据空格后的比较级标记词than可以知道空格处应该填写形容词efficient的比较级形式more efficient。

34． Quotations and samples will(send)______to you as soon as we receive your specific inquiries.

正确答案：be sent

解析：本题考查动词的被动形式。句子的主语是“报价和样品”，谓语是“发送”，主语和谓语之间应构成被动关系。因为“报价和样品”并没有行为能力。句子为一般将来时，只要将给出的单词send变为其被动语态be sent即可。

35． After(receive)______your loan from us, if you are not completely satisfied with your experience, please contact us.

正确答案：receiving

解析：本题考查介词宾语的形式。句子开头的After是表示时间先后顺序的

介词，其后应使用名词或动词的-ing形式。因此只要将提供的动词receive改写为receiving即为本题答案。

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice．

In giving a business presentation, many speakers think that if their idea is strong, their audience will get it readily. They feel discouraged when the audience is unable to understand their presentations. That happens a lot especially when technical experts are invited to make a product presentation to a group of users. What can we do to make a business presentation easier to understand? In my view, good presentations have always been simple and visual. In an effective business presentation, the fewer the points, the better the message gets passed on. You focus on the depth of coverage instead of the width(广度)of coverage. Additionally, you make your ideas visual and relevant, so the message is understood better and remembered longer. Great business presenters relate their ideas and concepts to their audience by using simple, powerful diagrams instead of relying on text-based slides. In fact, drawing diagrams forces a presenter to make the idea clear even at the preparation stage. It is impossible to draw a diagram when you are not clear about an idea. When your idea is clear, it is easier to transfer it Most audiences understand a diagram faster and remember it longer. This possibly explains why most of the memorable presentations have been visual in nature.

36． Many speakers believe that the stronger their idea,_____. A．the more powerful their speech will be B．the more meaningful their speech will be

C．the more easily the audience will understand it D．the harder the audience will find it to follow

正确答案：C

解析：事实细节题。题干要求查找many speakers的想法，题干与全文首句中many speakers think that if theiridea is strong基本同义，只要将选项与原文中的their audience will get it readily对比，找出意思最近的就是正确选项。C项easily与原文的关键词readily基本同义，C项与原文意思最为接近，为本题正确答案。

37． Why are you advised to give fewer points in your presentation? A．To pass on the messages better. B．To avoid wasting too much time.

C．To allow audience to take notes. D．To leave more time for questions.

正确答案：A

解析：事实细节题。根据题干中的关键词fewer points可定位到第2段第3句，该句指出要点越少，信息就越容易传达清楚：the better the message gets passed on，A项和原文只是句式不同，原文是被动语态，A项则还原了pass on的主动语态，它们的意思相同，故本题答案为A项To pass on the messages better。

38． The speaker can help the audience remember the message longer by_____. A．displaying text-based slides B．avoiding long technical terms C．focusing on the width of coverage D．using simple and powerful diagrams

正确答案：D 解析：细节判断题。第2段讨论的就是如何才能让介绍的信息简单易懂而且印象深刻，作者就此提到了几条做法，其中D项using simple and powerful diagrams在该段第6句中提及，为本题答案。

39． The underlined word “transfer” in this passage most probably means “ _____”.

A．create B．pass on C．take off D．describe

正确答案：B 解析：词汇推断题。第2段讨论的主要是关于如何才能让介绍的信息简单易懂，也就是如何才能将信息传达给听众，其中一个做法就是降低信息的难度，信息越浅显，就越容易“传达”出去，根据这个主要内容，可推断transfer在原文也和信息的“传达”“表达”有关，故本题选B项pass on最符合上下文的意思。

40． This passage is mainly about______.

A．how to make an effective business presentation B．how to present strong ideas in a presentation C．how to focus on the depth of coverage D．how to prepare a powerful diagram

正确答案：A

解析：主旨大意题。本文第一段先指出业务介绍的一些常见问题，第2段则针对这些问题提出解决方法，可见全文主要围绕如何做一场“好的业务介绍”，故本题应选A项how to make an effective business presentation。

Task 2Directions：This task is the same as Task 1．The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45．

Blue Jeans Company was established in October 2012 and operates as a partnership(合伙企业)between Elena Horowitz and James Foster. In fact, it began in Elena’s basement when they sold jeans to friends. And now the company has grown to have its own online store, relationships with suppliers in Asia, and local factories. The company has had its revenues double every two months. For our day-to-day operations, Blue Jeans Company has established several key relationships and we can easily expand our production when the demand for our goods increases. We obtain the best organic cotton from two suppliers, one located in Turkey and the other in Japan, which means that their supplies are produced without the use of any chemicals. Once the shipment arrives in the US, it’ll be routed(发送)to our production and shipping partner in Los Angeles. We work closely with our partner to ensure quality through regular checks. It is also where the products will ship out. Our office is located on 2029 Century Park East where all staff work together, handling all online order processing and ensuring the purchase and delivery of the products run smoothly. It’s also where all requests for refunds are handled in addition to the future launch of the jean-recycling program.

41． Blue Jeans Company first started its business by______. A．selling its product to friends B．doing business in an online store C．exporting jeans to Asian countries

D．supplying raw materials to local factories

正确答案：C

解析：事实细节题。第1段第2句it began…描述了“蓝色牛仔裤”公司的起家方式是“把牛仔裤出售给朋友”，A项selling its product to friends与此同义，故为本题答案。

42． “Organic cotton” in Line 1, Para 3, probably means “cotton _____”. A．manufactured automatically B．grown in local regions

C．produced without using chemicals D．imported from foreign countries

正确答案：C

解析：词汇推断题。在第3段第1句当中，which引出的定语从句可视为对于organic cotton的附加解释，此处指出organic cotton就意味着不使用任何化学物(produced without the use of any chemicals)，可见，本题应选C项produced without using chemicals。

43． To ensure product quality, the company _____. A．uses man-made materials B．observes strict regulations C．checks its products regularly D．often asks for clients’ opinions

正确答案：C

解析：事实细节题。利用题干中的关键词ensure product quality可定位到第3段倒数第2句，该句明确指出公司确保产品质量的方式是regular checks，C项checks its products regularly是对此处的同义改写，故为本题答案。

44． The company’s products will ship out from _____. A．New York B．Los Angeles C．Turkey D．Japan

正确答案：B

解析：细节判断题。第3段提到供货一旦运抵美国，马上就会转运到我们在洛杉矶的生产和货运伙伴……商品也会从这里发送到各地，最后一句中的It指的是前而提到的洛杉矶，故B项Los Angeles为本题答案。

45． What will the company do in the future? A．Sell its products worldwide. B．Handle all its orders online.

C．Establish a new office in New York. D．Carry out a jean-recycling program.

正确答案：D

解析：事实细节题。关于公司的“未来”，全文在最后一句末尾有提及：the future launch of the jean-recyclingprogram，D项中的carry out是对原文launch的近义替换，故D项Carry out a jean-recycling program是本题答案。

Are you searching the Internet to find the best place to book a room for your family vacation? Here are some of our tips for you. Getting Started Years ago searching for a hotel required a lot of phone calls to hotel chains. Today, there’s no shortage of quality online hotel booking websites. Just locate your favorite online hotel booking site, enter your travel destination, the date of your trip, and the number of hotel guests. Narrowing the Hotel Search So now what? You’ve found a list of hotel rooms online ordered by hotel star rating(等级), guest scores, or price. What’s most important to you? If it’s pride, sort the list by lowest price first. If it’s the star rating of the hotel, then click to sort by rating. Read Guest Scores and Reviews Always read the guest scores. Keep in mind that hotels with a high number of highly rated guest scores and written guest reviews will increase your confidence that you’ll have a good experience at that hotel. Always consider the guest scores when you book a room online in a hotel. Your experience is likely to be similar.
