第1题

The average citizen, with his eyes glued to the "box", has only the vaguest idea what an ambassador does. In the press he is pictured standing by a carriage from the royal or presidential palace with his chest covered in gold lace or in evening dress in the middle of the morning, splashed with orders and decorations like an old-fashioned swimming instructor. In Osber Lancaster's cartoons his white tie and broad sash are accompanied by the paunch and debilitated look of one whom the restrictions of his profession have required to make do for vices with an excess of food, drink and sleep. Questions in parliament suggest that he is solely occupied in giving extravagant parties at the tax-payer's expense if he is British, or in ignoring the parking regulations if he is a foreigner in London.

The jaundiced ambassador may sometimes be inclined to conclude that he is regarded principally as a service agency: that to the tourist his only serious responsibility is to produce money when a wallet is stolen; that to the businessman his sole purpose is to promote the businessman's interest; that to the press correspondent he is there to provide information for the correspondent's copy and a good story out of anything that happens in the embassy; that to visiting politicians he is the provider of free board and lodging and an introduction and shopping service, and that to Mr. Le Carre's readers he is the man who keeps the spy out of the cold.

In his more charitable moments he will admit that the tourist in difficulty is entitled to ask for the embassy's help; that the businessman is promoting his country's exports and that it is one of the ambassador's most important duties to help him; that cooperation between the embassy and the press correspondent is useful to both; that he is paid to give hospitality and has the staff to provide services to visiting politicians and will be well advised to do what he can for them; and he will assure you that the only spies whose acquaintance he cultivates are those defeated in the last chapter by James Bond.

Perhaps the ambassador gains some spurious comfort from those writers to whom the diplomat is, by definition, a paragon of all the virtues, brilliantly perceptive, patient, loyal, modest and of the highest integrity, able to win the confidence of "the ruling few", handsome, not too witty, an accomplished host, expert in food and wines, and speaking four or five foreign languages perfectly. But he knows in his more sober moments that in real life he is no better nor worse endowed than his contemporaries in other professions, though there is always a danger that the requirements of the voracious god, security, will reduce him to a dead level of unenterprising mediocrity. He knows too that the better informed of the public do not regard him as wallowing in luxury, but sympathize with him for having to keep a government hotel and endure a regular diet of official parties notable only for their tedium and their capacity to induce mental and physical exhaustion.

In the old days, the ambassador was purely political. Nowadays, whatever his personal predilections, he will recognise that he must give serious attention to matters other than politics. He must regard himself as an economist, a commercial traveller, an advertising agent for his country; he wields the weapon of culture for political ends; he promotes scientific and. technical exchanges and administers development aid. He cannot wholly detach himself from the technicalities and personal inconvenience which accompany the battle for intelligence. He must concern himself with the relations not only of governments, but of politicians, scientists, musicians, actors, authors, footballers, and trade unionists. But he continues to have a basic political job, to negotiate with the other government and to keep his own government informed about anything in the country to which he is accredited which affects his coun

A.demonstrate some partial perception of what an ambassador does

B.illustrate an ambassador's colourful career

C.show what an ambassador does in public

D.display an ambassador's luxury life

Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of the job's wages, its holidays and its other benefits. Of course, some job sharers take a smaller or larger share of the responsibilities of the position, receiving a lesser or greater share of the benefits.

Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.

Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.

As would be expected, women constitute the bulk of job sharers. A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain's Equal Opportunities Commission revealed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.

The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.

"Employee commitment" in Paragraph 2 refers to the employee's______.

A.qualification

B.loyalty

C.experience

D.achievement

Because of its potential for cutting costs, the distribution step in the marketing process is receiving more attention. Distribution involves warehousing, transporting and keeping inventory of manufactured products. Take an everyday product like fabric softener. After it comes off the assembly line, it's packed in cartons and tracked to warehouses around the country. When orders come in from retailers, the fabric softener is delivered to supermarket shelves. This is distribution.

Probably the most crucial area for controlling costs is inventory. Companies don't want to overproduce and have unsold stock of their product piled up in warehouses. Wholesale companies and large retail chains employ several techniques for inventory control. This is where the computer revolution really had an impact. Computerized information systems give precise and up-to-date accounts of inventory on hand. And the field of distribution offers good entry- level jobs for persons with training in computer programming or data processing.

Overseeing the whole area of distribution is the distribution manager. This job is becoming increasingly important and can lead to an executive position.

According to the passage, why is the distribution step in marketing getting more attention?

A.It is where companies research and develop new products.

B.It is where companies can cut costs.

C.It is where employees can update their computer skills.

D.It provides jobs for college graduates.

听力原文:I' m honored to be here today. One of my favorite things to do is to talk with business students about building a successful company. After I graduated from business school, I established my own company. We specialize in renovating offices and stores. The work we usually do needs to be done quickly and we can't make mistakes. Otherwise, we lose clients. To meet these work demands, I've learned that it is essential to have employees who work well together. Teamwork has definitely made a big difference in my company's success. Of course there are other things I've learned in some tough ways, especially on the financial side. For example, I realize now the company would have grown way faster if I took advantage of a business loan or other types of financial assistance.

What type of business does the speaker have?

A.Advertising

B.Property management

C.Building renovation

D.Accounting

第10题

听力原文:Man: What exactly is "Spokes"?

Woman: Well, it's a voluntary organization which has been going for the last three years or so, um it's really an action group for cyclists. And the basic purpose of 'Spokes' is to encourage cycling, especially in cities, and also to make sure that city planners are aware of the needs of cyclists and that they provide proper facilities for cyclists, Now this is very important because when plans are made for new streets in cities, pedestrians are always included because you have pavements and shopping areas and parks, and motorists are always included because you have roads and car parks and so on. But it seems to us that nobody actually thinks of the cyclists and somehow the cyclists come between the cars and the pedestrians and there aren't really any facilities provided for them. And that was really the basic reason why we set up "Spokes" in the first place—because we felt that the cyclist ought to be represented too.

Man: So what kind of facilities do you think there should be fore cyclists?

Woman: Well, the most important thing I think is that there should be special lanes for cyclists in at least some of the streets in cities where only cyclists are allowed to go—urn, at the moment in most cities there's either no special lane for bicycles at all, they just share the road with all the other traffic or else cyclists are supposed to use the same lane as buses, which of course is extremely dangerous.

Man: But wouldn't a lot of people say that there are really very few cyclists on the road compared with the number of cars, so why should so much money be spent just of them? Is it really worth it?

Woman: Yes we think it is wroth it, for one thing because of the number of accidents that there are at the moment. Most serious accidents involving cyclists are caused by cars, and they happen because drivers assume that the road is for them and they simply don't notice that the cyclist's there—and so I’m sure special lanes for bicycles would lead to fewer accidents. And another mason it's worth having special lanes is that it would encourage more people to use bicycles. And yes of course at the moment there are very few cyclists one the roads, but that's because cycling in cities is so dangerous and so unpleasant. Now obviously if better facilities were provided for cyclists, there would be far more bicycles on the road just like there are in Holland and Denmark, and this would be a very good thing for everybody. I think it's ridiculous that people in Britain talk so much about pollution and the energy crisis and so on, but in spite of that they don't do anything to encourage cycling, which is cheap and clean and also very good for you.

Man: Now you described "Spokes" as an "action group" for cyclists. What exactly have you done?

Woman: Well, so far we've been mainly concerned with just drawing people's attention to cyclists and the needs of cyclists. So we've held meetings and we've written to newspapers and to city councils suggesting things that can be done to help cyclists and we've held bicycle rallies in some places.

Man: Do you think you've had any effect?

Woman: Oh very much so. I think as a result of what we've done local councils are now actually beginning to consider cyclists as another group they're got to take notice of and in a few cities they've already do started to include cycle lanes and special routes for cyclists in their plans.

Questions:

27.What is the main purpose of the "Spoke"?

28.What does the woman say about the cause of accidents involving cyclists?

29.According to the woman, what are the advantages of cycling?

30.Which of the following is NOT included in what the organization has done to promote its cause?

(47)

A.To promote sales of bicycles.

B.To encourage cycling.

C.To reduce car accidents.

D.To improve road conditions.
