Q: What is the man going to do?
事实细节题。题目问男士将要做什么。对话开头女士问：“你什么时候去接手新工作?”男士回答：“越快越好。”C项Get a new job与女士话语中的take the new job同义，get和take都表示“获取”。
A项Find a new apartment(找新公寓)中的apartment没有在对话中提及。男士用as soon as possible表示会尽快去做，故B项Give up his plan(放弃计划)不对。D项Put forward a suggestion(提出一项建议)与对话无关。 7.

Q: What's the problem with the man? 事实细节题。题目问男士有什么问题。这个问题在对话开头女士也问了：“你看起来不太好。怎么啦?”男士回答：“我头痛，而且有点轻烧。”故B项He has a headache(他头痛)为答案。 A项He took the wrong medicine(他吃错了)、C项He has broken his arm(他摔伤了手臂)和D项He got a heart attack(他有心脏病)都与对话中提供的信息不符。 9.

事实细节题。题目询问女士建议男士学什么语言。对话中男士问：“我不知道应该学哪门语言，日语、法语或德语?”女士用虚拟语气回答：“如果我是你，就会学法语。”虚拟语气可表建议，故答案选择D项French(法语)。
A项German(德语)和B项Japanese(日语)处于男士的考虑范围之内，但不是女士的建议。C项Spanish(西班牙语)在对话中没有提到。 10.

该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 2 答案:think about
[听力原文]
Looking for an apartment can be a difficult job. The first thing to think about is how much money you can spend. You cannot rent a home if it's too expensive. Secondly, where the home is located is also important. You don't want a home too far away from work. You might want to spend a little more money to be closer to y6ur office. Anyway, before you look for a place to live in, you should make a list of all the things you want and need. This will be easier for you to make the correct choice.
空格前是不定式标志词to，故应填入动词原形，修饰The first thing(第一件事)。think about意为“考虑”。 12.
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 2 答案:expensive
空格位于句末，前面的程度副词too(太)表明应填入形容词，作从句的表语。expensive意为“贵的”。 13.
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 2 答案:far away
空格前的程度副词too(太)表明应填入形容词。上一句提到房子的位置很重要(where the home is located)，故本句与位置相关。结合录音，填入far away“远离”。 14.
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 2 答案:make a list
由空格前的情态动词should可知此处应填入动词原形，充当句子谓语。make a list意为“列清单”。 15.
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 2 答案:correct choice
空格前的the表明此处应填入名词，作make的宾语。correct choice意为“正确的选择”。
Part Ⅱ Vocabulary and Structure (15 minutes)
Directions: This part is to test your ability to construct grammatically correct sentences. It consists of 2 sections.
Section A
Directions: In this section, there are 10 incomplete sentences. You ar 16.
You can ask these experts ______ advice in job hunting.
A on B over C from D for
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:D
本题考查介词辨析。空格后的advice表明了ask these experts(请求这些专家)的目的，故填入D项介词for“为了”。
ask for advice是习惯搭配，意为“征询意见”。A项on、B项over、C项from都不符合该用法要求。 17. If you want to get there before dark, you should start your journey ______.
A at times B at once C in person D in detail
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:B
本题考查短语辨析。第一个分句是if引导的条件状语从句，根据get there before dark(天黑前到达)，可知时间紧迫，故填入B项at once“马上”。 A项at times“有时，不时”，C项in person“亲自”，D项in detail“详细地”，代入空格后都不符合上下文逻辑。 18.
The play was so boring ______ I could hardly keep myself from falling asleep.
A that B which C what D whether
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:A
本题考查从句引导词。空格前有so(如此)，空格后的句子结构完整，“睡着”是“演出无聊”导致的后果。固定结构so...that表示“如此??以至于”，引导结果状语从句。故填入A项that。 除了so...that结构，还有such...that，不同之处是so后面接形容词，such后面接名词。 19.
We hope that our customers can ______ advantage of this new service.
A have B carry C take D bring
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:C
本题考查习惯搭配的用法。take advantage of意为“利用”，所以C项正确。 A项have与have与advantage“优势，好处”的搭配为have an/the
advantage over“胜过，优于”，或have the advantage of“有??的优势”。B项carry“携带”和D项bring“带来”都不与advantage搭配。 20.
The unemployment rate has become much lower ______ the government took these measures.
A but B since C if D while
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:B
本题考查从句引导词。主句用了现在完成时has become，从句用了一般过去时took，表明从句“采取措施”的动作发生在主句“变得”之前。B项“自从”符合句意及要求。
A项but“但是”表转折。C项if“如果”表条件或假设；填入空格后语义逻辑都不对。D项while“当??时，这时”表示时间，但主从句的动作不可能是同时发生的，不符合本句语境。 21.
The rope is not strong enough to ______ the weight of the big case.
A conduct B produce C make D support
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:D
本题考查动词辨析。空格前提到绳子不牢，enough to不定式表结果，结果就是支撑不起大箱子的重量。D项support“支撑”与weight搭配正确，为答案。 A项conduct“引导；管理”B项produce“制造，生产”，C项make“使变为??；制造”与weight搭配，语义逻辑都不通。 22.
He attended school in England for several years, after ______ he returned home.
A what B that C which D whom
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:C
本题考查非限制性定语从句引导词。空格前后都是完整的句子，推测其中一个是从句。从句意逻辑上说，returned home(返回家)的动作应该在attended
school(上学)之后，故可判断空格处填入的词要指代上文。C项which可与介词搭配引导非限制性定语从句。故正确。 A项what引导名词性从句，且一般在从句中充当一定成份。B项that也可以指代上文，但是本句的两个分句间用的是逗号，如果填入that，则没有主从句之分，需要用分号连接两句。D项whom指人，不符合此处语境。 23.
You can trust our product as we have ______ control over its quality.
A strict B limited C little D natural
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:A
本题考查形容词辨析。句子中含有as“因为”引导的原因状语从句，主句中trust out product(信任我们的产品)表明产品质量是好的，故“质量控制”应该是strict“严格的”，故A项正确。
B项limited“有限的”和C项little“几乎没有的”都表示对质量的控制很少，这不能带来让对方信任的结果。D项natural“自然的”，也不能达到让对方信任的程度。 24.
A new study finds out that a kid can learn without ______ what he is doing.
A realize B realized C realizing D to realize
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:C
本题考查动名词用法。空格前的without是介词，表示“没有，如果没有”，后面应该填入名词。realize“意识到”是动词，故需使用C项动名词realizing。 介词后需要接代词或名词性成分。如果后跟动词，动词则需要变成动名词。 25.
______ last year, traffic accidents have decreased by 10% this year.
A Related to
B Compared with C Concerned about D Dealt with
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:B
本题考查动词词组的辨析。四个选项都用了过去分词形式，与句子主语traffic accidents之间是被动关系，这里是将今年的交通事故情况与去年的作比较，compare with意为“与??相比”，符合句义。
A项relate to“与??有关”，C项concern about“担心”以及D项deal with“处理”填入此处均语义不通。 Section B
Directions: There are 10 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each bland with the proper form of the word given in the brackets. 26.
You'd better make a phone call (check) ______ whether the email has been received.
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:to check
考查不定式的用法。空格前make a phone call是句子谓语动词及宾语，主干已完整；空格后是whether引导的从句，从意义上可判断是动词check的宾语，故此处的check应用非谓语动词形式。“打电话”是为了“核实是否收到电子邮件”，故填入表目的的不定式结构to check。
不定式表目的通常是指发生在谓语动作之后的动作，也就是说，若以谓语动作发生的时间为标准，用作目的状语的不定式是一个尚未发生的动作。如本句中check的动作发生在make a phone call这个动作之后。 27.
We had been working for almost 16 hours, and we (final) ______ finished the task.
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:finally
考查形容词和副词的转换。空格在主语we和谓语动词finished之间，故应该填入副词。final“最终的”变成副词是finally“终于，最终”。
形容词转变成副词的规则：①一般情况下直接加-ly，如traditional(传统的)—traditionally(传统地)，wide(宽的)—widely(宽地)．②以y结尾的，先将y改成i，再加-ly，如happy(幸福的)—happily(幸福地)；③少数以e结尾的形容词，要去掉e再加-ly，如true(真实的)—truly(真实地)。 28. The Prize in Economics (establish) ______ in 1968, that is, more than half a century ago.
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:was established
考查被动语态的用法。空格前的主语中心词是Prize，空格后是表时间的介词短语，以及插入语that is，用于引出1968的同位语，进一步解释这个年份。因此句子缺少谓语动词，establish“建立，设立”的动作是由某人或某机构发出的，主语“经济学奖”是这个动作的承受者，故应该使用被动语态。由于1968是表过去的时间，本句时态用一般过去时；由于主语The Prize是第三人称单数，因此填入was established。
当句子的主语是谓语动作的承受者时，谓语应用被动语态“be动词+过去分词”。 29.
He is thinking of (leave) ______ his job and going to Germany for further study.
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:leaving
考查介词的用法。空格前的is thinking of是句子谓语部分，其中介词of后必须跟代词或名词性成分。故需把动词leave转换成动名词leaving。
本题考查的是“介词+动名词”的结构。一般来说，介词后面接动词时，动词采用-ing形式。 30.
Most people attending his lecture have found that they have learned something (use) ______.
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:useful
考查名词与形容词的转换。空格前是动宾结构learned something“学到了一些东西”，从use的语义“使用，用途”判断，应该是修饰something的词，故要用形容词useful“有用的”。
名词后面加后缀-ful，可以构成形容词，表示“充满??的，具有??特性的”。 31.
This library is the (modern) ______ building I have ever visited in this city.
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:most modern
考查形容词最高级的用法。空格在the与名词building之间，故应填入形容词。括号中的modern“现代的”本来就是形容词，不过building之后还有一个定语从句I have ever visited“我曾经游览过的”，句中并没有明确指出比较的数量，但ever(曾经)提示数量应在三者以上，故空格处应使用形容词最高级most modern。
双音节或多音节形容词的比较级通常由“more/less+形容词原级”构成，最高级通常由“the most/least+形容词原级”构成，如：more useful, the least expensive等。 32.
Potatoes can provide about one-third of our daily (require) ______ of Vitamin C.
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:requirement
考查动词与名词的转换。空格前是形容词daily“日常的”，空格后是所有格of，故此处应填入名词。动词require的名词形式是requirement“需求”。 一些动词可通过加后缀-ment变为名词形式，如：govern(管
理)—government(政府)，improve(改进)—improvement(进步)等。 33.
After she had the report (type) ______, she put it on the director's desk. 该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:typed
考查使役动词have的用法。report“报告”与type“用打字机打印”之间是被动关系，故应填入过去分词。
使役动词have的用法：①have+宾语+过去分词；②have+宾语+现在分词；③have+宾语+不定式(不带to)。 34.
If you had asked him again, he might (change) ______ his mind. 该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:have changed
考查虚拟语气的用法。if引导的条件状语从句常用虚拟语气。与过去事实相反时，从句用过去完成时，主句用“should/would/could/might+have+过去分词”。本句if从句用了过去完成时had asked，故主句谓语动词应使用might have changed。 35.
Modern means of (communicate) ______ can enable more people to work from home.
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:communication(s)
考查动词与名词的转换。空格前的介词of表明此处应填入名词，故需要把动词communicate“交流”转变成名词communication“通讯”，该词也可加上s。 以-ate结尾的动词转换成名词，通常是把后缀改成-ation，如educate—education(教育)，translate—translation(翻译)。 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 1
Directions: After rending the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or
statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
On deciding to buy your first home, you're likely to be excited and full of enthusiasm (热情). However, you should take care to plan well and understand the process to avoid any unexpected problems.
Here are some things you'll need to consider to help you get started. First, think about what you need and what you want from your new home. Perhaps you need to be close to your place of work because you don't drive. It may be that you want a large garden to satisfy your gardening hobby. Be sure to understand the differences between needs and wants as it's likely you'll need to give up some of your wants.
Then, use the internet, your local library and your friends and family to find out all you can about the buying process. You'll need to make decisions down the line and it will help if you understand the buying process.
At this stage, you will normally need to contact a mortgage (按揭) advisor to see how much money you can borrow.
Of course, there are lots of costs related to buying a home which may not be immediately clear to first time buyers. 36.
If you want to buy your first home, you are advised to ______.
A borrow some money from a bank B save enough money in advance
C understand the buying process D get to know the housing agent
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:C
事实细节题。本题询问如果你想要买第一处房产，建议你要怎么做。文章第一段第二句针对首次购房者提出建议：你要用心好好计划，了解这个过程，以避免任何意想不到的问题。第四段最后一句指出，如果了解购买过程，在做决定时会很有用。故C项understand the buying process(了解购买过程)为正确答案。 倒数第二段提到，做决定时，通常要联系按揭顾问，看看自己能借多少钱。这只是了解金额，并非借钱，故A项“从银行借钱”不是文中的建议。B项“提前存钱”和D项“认识房屋中介”均没有在文中提到。 37.
When buying a new home, the first thing you should consider is ______.
A the size of the garden B your needs and wants
C your job and income D the environment
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:B
事实细节题。题目询问购买新房时，你应该考虑的第一件事是什么。文章针对初次购房者提了两个建议，第一个是想想自己的需求和欲望。题干中的the first thing对应原文第三段开头的First一词，B项用名词needs and wants同义替换了原文中的从句what you need and what you want，也表示“需求和欲望”，故为答案。
A项“花园的大小”和C项“你的工作和收入”都是说明首要考虑事情时提到的细节。与D项“环境”相关的是a large garden，但提到花园的目的是要说明欲望，故D项也不对。 38.
The purpose of contacting a mortgage advisor is ______.
A to see whether the price of the home is reasonable B to ask about the legal issues related to the buying C to make sure you understand the buying process D to find out how much money you can borrow
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:D
事实细节题。问题询问联系按揭顾问的目的是什么。题干中的mortgage advisor在倒数第二段提到，原文说需要联系一个按揭顾问，了解你能借多少钱。D项的意思是“了解你可以借多少钱”，其中find out与原文see的意思一致，都指“了解，知道，明白”，故为答案。
A项“了解房子的价格是否合理”和B项“询问与购买相关的法律问题”未在原文出现。根据第四段第一句可知，购买过程是通过网络、图书馆、朋友和家人来了解的，而非按揭顾问，故C项“确保你了解购买过程”不对。 39.
If you are a first time buyer, you may not be aware of ______.
A the various costs related to buying a home B the history of the home you want to buy C the time when you can move in D the name of the house owner
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:A
事实细节题。本题询问如果你是首次购房，你可能不知道的是什么。题目中的be aware of“(某人)意识到”对应最后一句中的be...clear to sb.“对某人是清楚的”。该句提到，买房子有很多花销(there are lots of costs)，首次购房者也许不能马上弄清楚这些。故A项“各种与买房相关的花费”是答案。 B项“你想购买的房子的历史”、C项“你可以搬入新家的时间”、D项“房屋所有者的名字”文中均未提及。 40.
The passage is written mainly for ______.
A house owners
B mortgage advisors
C housing companies D first time home buyers
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:D
主旨大意题。本题询问这篇文章主要是给什么人写的。文章开头提到On deciding to buy your first home，由此可知you指的是首次购房的人。接着文章介绍了两个要考虑的事情，最后又再次提到first time buyers“首次购买者”。由此可知这篇文章主要是写给D项“首次购房者”。
A项“房子业主”是已经购买了房子的人，而本文中的you还没有购买，故不对。B项“按揭顾问”是文中提到的细节内容，不是建议的对象。C项“房地产公司”没有在文中提到。 Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.

It was very enjoyable to speak with you about the assistant account manager position at the Smith & Smith Co. Ltd. The job seems to be a very good match for my skills and interests. In addition to my keen interest, I will bring to the position strong writing skills and the ability to encourage others to work well with the department. My art background will help me to work with artists on staff and provide me with an understanding of the artistic aspects of our work.
I understand your need for office work support. My basic trainings and organizational skills will help to free you to deal with larger issues. I neglected to mention during my interview that I had worked for two summers as a part-time office worker. This experience helped me to develop my skills as an office secretary.
I appreciate the time you took to interview me. I am very interested in working for you and look forward to hearing from you about this position.
Best regards,
John Smith 41.

该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:C
事实细节题。本题询问约翰?史密斯申请的工作岗位是什么。根据第一段第一句“非常开心在Smith&Smith有限公司与您就助理客户经理一职交谈”，C项“助理客户经理”与该句中的assistant account manager position一致，故为答案。
A项“办公室秘书”在第二段最后一句提到，这是作者在暑期做的兼职工作。B项“首席艺术官”和D项“生产部经理”没有在原文中提及，故排除。 42.
The writer believes that he will be able to bring to the position ______.
A his writing skills B his positive attitude
C his creative thinking D his overseas experiences
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:A
事实细节题。本题询问作者认为他将能够带给职位什么。根据bring to the position定位到第一段第三句，该句提及“除了浓厚的兴趣，还将给该职位带来较强的写作技能和鼓励他人与部门良好合作的能力”。A项“写作技能”是其中一项，故为答案。
B项“积极的态度”、C项“创造性思维”、D项“海外经验”在这封信中都没有提及，均排除。 43.
The writer believes that his art background is helpful ______.

事实细节题。本题询问作者认为他的艺术背景对什么有帮助。根据题干中的art background查找第一段末句，该句提到他的艺术背景有助于他与艺术家员工工作，D项“与艺术家员工合作”与原文一致，故为答案。

事实细节题。本题询问作者在面试时，忘了提及什么。题干中的forgot to mention对应第二段第三句中的neglected to mention，该句提到，他在面试中忘了提他兼职做过两个夏天的办公室工作。C项“他在办公室兼职的工作经验”与之一致，故为答案。
office secretary在第二段最后一句提到，但没有提到接受了相关培训，故A项“办公室秘书的培训经历”无从判断。B项“感谢让他参加面试”在第三段首句提到，D项“对公司艺术性工作的理解”在第一段末句提到，但都不是作者面试时忘记提及的内容，故排除B项和D项。 45.
John Smith writes this letter in order to ______.
A inquire about the date of the interview B express thanks to the job interviewer C ask for postponing the interview D complain about the interview
该题您未回答:х 该问题分值: 1 答案:B
主旨大意题。本题询问作者写这封信的目的。原文最后一段首句说：“非常感谢您花时间面试我。”故B项“对工作面试官表示感谢”是这封信的写作目的。 首句提到，非常开心在Smith&Smith有限公司与您就助理客户经理一职交谈，由此可知面试已完成，故A项“询问面试日期”和C项“要求推迟面试”不对。信中没有提到complain，因此D项“抱怨面试”不对。

Two simple but effective tips for having a business talk
Prepare
Gather as much information as you can before the business talk. Practice making your case. Think of the responses you might receive and imagine how you will answer. Try and imagine everything that could possibly occur during the talk, and prepare a response. Take Your Time
