Passage One

　　Questions 26 to 28 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

　　26.A) There were no planets without moons.

　　B) There was no air or water on Jupiter.

　　C) Life was not possible in outer space.

　　D) The mystery of life could not be resolved.

　　27.A) It has a number of active volcanoes.

　　B) It has an atmosphere like the earths.

　　C) It has a large ocean under its surface.

　　D) It has deep caves several miles long.

　　28.A) Light is not an essential element to it.

　　B) Life can form in very hot temperatures.

　　C) Every form of life undergoes evolution.

　　D) Oxygen is not needed for some life forms.

　　Since early time. people have been fascinated with the idea of life existing somewhere else besides earth. Until recently, scientists believed that life on other planets was just a hopeful dream. But now they are beginning to locate places where life could form. In 1997, they saw evidence of planets near other stars like the sun. But scientists now think that life could be even nearer in our own solar system. One place scientists are studying very closely is Europa, a moon of Jupiter. Space probes have provided evidence that Europa has a large ocean under its surface. The probes have also made scientists think that under its surface Europa has a rocky core giving off volcanic heat. Water and heat from volcanic activity are two basic conditions needed for life to form. A third is certain basic chemicals such as carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. Scientists believe there might be such chemicals lying at the bottom of Europas ocean. They may have already created life or may be about to. You may wonder if light is also needed for life to form. Until recently, scientists thought that light was essential. But now, places have been found on earth that are in total blackness such as eaves several miles beneath the surface. And bacteria, primitive forms of life. have been seen. there. So the lack of light in Europas sub-surface ocean doesnt automatically rule out life forming.

　　Questions:

　　26. What did scientists once believe according to the passage?

　　27. What have scientists found about Europa, a moon of Jupiter?

　　28. What have scientists come to know recently about the formation of life?

　　26.C

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　29.A) Whether they should take the child home.

　　B) What Dr. Meyers instructions exactly were.

　　C) Who should take care of the child at home.

　　D) When the child would completely recover.

　　30.A) She encourages them to ask questions when in doubt.

　　B) She makes them write down all her instructions.

　　C) She has them act out what they are to do at home.

　　D) She asks them to repeat what they are supposed to do.

　　31.A) It lacks the stability of the printed word.

　　B) It contains many grammatical errors.

　　C) It is heavily dependent on the context.

　　D) It facilitates interpersonal communication.

　　In her early days as an emergency room physician, Doctor Joanna Myer treated a child who had suffered a second degree burn. After the child had been treated and was being prepared for discharge, Doctor Myer talked to the parents about how they should care for the child at home. Also listening to her were a half a dozen other family members. A few hours later, when she came to say goodbye, the family asked her to settle an argument theyd been having over exactly what advice she had given. As I talked to them, I was amazed. she said, All of them had heard the simple instructions I have given just a few hours before, but they have three or four different versions. The most basic details were unclear and confusing. I was surprised, because these were intelligent people. This episode gave Doctor Myer her first clue to something every doctor learns sooner or latermost people just dont listen very well. Nowadays, she says she repeats her instructions, and even conducts a reality check with some patients. She asks them to tell her what they think they are supposed to do. She also provides take-home sheets which are computer printouts tailored to the patients situation. Doctor Myers listeners are not unusual. When new or difficult material is presented, almost all listeners are faced with the challenge because human speech lacks the stability and permanence of the printed word. Oral communication is fast-moving and impermanent.

　　Questions:

　　29. What did the childs family members argue about in the hospital?

　　30. What does Doctor Myer do to insure her patients understand her instructions?

　　31. What does the speaker say about human speech?

　　29.B

　　細(xì)節(jié)題。本題詢(xún)問(wèn)孩子的親屬在為什么而爭(zhēng)論，原文提到the family asked her to settle an argument theyd been having over exactly what advice she had given.A是說(shuō)他們能否把小孩帶回家;C是說(shuō)在家里應(yīng)由誰(shuí)來(lái)照顧小孩;D是說(shuō)小孩什么時(shí)候能徹底康復(fù)。這些都與原文不符，因此B是正確答案。

　　30.D

　　細(xì)節(jié)題。本題詢(xún)問(wèn)Myer醫(yī)生怎么樣確定病人完全明白了自己的建議。文章中提到She asks them to tell her what they think they are supposed to do.tell her對(duì)應(yīng)D選項(xiàng)中的repeat，即再講一遍。A是說(shuō)鼓勵(lì)他們提出疑問(wèn);B是說(shuō)讓他們把醫(yī)囑寫(xiě)下來(lái);C是說(shuō)要他們演示一下要在家做什么，這些都與原文不符。因此D為正確答案。

　　31.A

　　推理判斷題。本題詢(xún)問(wèn)作者對(duì)于口語(yǔ)交流的看法。答案出現(xiàn)在結(jié)尾處，原文human speech lacks the stability and permanence of the printed word。 A選項(xiàng)幾乎與原文一致。B是說(shuō)它有很多語(yǔ)法上的錯(cuò)誤;C是說(shuō)它過(guò)于依賴(lài)于上下文聯(lián)系;D是說(shuō)它有助于人際交往，這些都與原文不符。因此A為正確答案。

　　Passage Three

　　Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

　　32.A) Job security.

　　B) Good labour relations.

　　C) Challenging work.

　　D) Attractive wages and benefits.

　　33.A) Many tedious jobs continue to be done manually.

　　B) More and more unskilled workers will lose jobs.

　　C) Computers will change to nature of many jobs.

　　D) Boring jobs will gradually be made enjoyable.

　　34.A) Offer them chances of promotion.

　　B) Improve their working conditions.

　　C) Encourage them to compete with each other.

　　D) Give them responsibilities as part of a team.

　　35.A) They will not bring real benefits to the staff.

　　B) They concern a small number of people only.

　　C) They are arbitrarily set by the administrators.

　　D) They are beyond the control of ordinary workers.

　　It is logical to suppose that things like good labor relations, good working conditions, good wages and benefits, and job security motivate workers. But one expert, Frederick Herzberg argued that such conditions do not motivate workers, they are merely satisfiers. Motivators, in contrast, include things such as having a challenging and interesting job, recognition and responsibility. However, even with the development of computers and robotics, there are always plenty of boring, repetitive and mechanical jobs, and lots of unskilled people who have to do them. So how do managers motivate people in such jobs? One solution is to give them some responsibilities, not as individuals, but as part of a team. For example, some supermarkets combine office staff, the people who fill the shelves, and the people who work at the checkout into a team. And let them decide what product lines to stock, how to display them, and so on. Many people now talk about the importance of a company shared values or culture, with which all the staff can identify. For example, being the best hotel chain, or making the best, the most user friendly, or the most reliable products in a particular field. Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financial targets, which ultimately only concern a few people. Unfortunately, there is only a limited number of such goals to go around. And by definition, not all the competing companies in an industry can seriously play in to be the best.

　　Questions:

　　32. What can actually motivate workers according to Frederick Herzberg?

　　33. What does the speaker say about jobs in the computer era?

　　34. What do some supermarkets do to motivate their employees?

　　35. Why does the speaker say financial targets are less likely to motivate workers?

　　32.C

　　細(xì)節(jié)題。本題詢(xún)問(wèn)到底什么可以真正激勵(lì)員工努力工作呢。原文提到Motivators，in contrast，include things such as having a challenging and interesting job，recognition and responsibility.A是說(shuō)工作安全性;B是說(shuō)好的工作關(guān)系;D是說(shuō)高薪和福利。這三項(xiàng)在文章第一句話中出現(xiàn)，但Frederick Herzberg認(rèn)為這些do not motivate workers。因此C是正確答案。

　　33.A

　　細(xì)節(jié)題。本題詢(xún)問(wèn)作者對(duì)電腦信息時(shí)代工作的看法。文章中提到However，even with the development of computers and robotics，there are always plenty of boring，repetitive and mechanical jobs，and lots of unskilled people who have to do them.選項(xiàng)A中tedious無(wú)聊的，manually手工做地，與原文相對(duì)應(yīng)。B是說(shuō)越來(lái)越多的沒(méi)有一技之長(zhǎng)的工人將失業(yè);C是說(shuō)計(jì)算機(jī)將會(huì)改變?cè)S多工作的性質(zhì);D是說(shuō)枯燥的工作將會(huì)漸漸變得有趣，均與原文不符。因此A為正確答案。

　　34.D

　　細(xì)節(jié)題。本題詢(xún)問(wèn)超市如何激勵(lì)員工努力工作。在文中激勵(lì)超市員工工作是作者引用的一個(gè)事例，但是問(wèn)題本身針對(duì)的是總結(jié)性的答案。即出現(xiàn)在for example前的總結(jié)句：Give them some responsibilities，not as individuals，but as a part of a team.關(guān)鍵詞responsibilities.team都出現(xiàn)在選項(xiàng)D中。A是說(shuō)提供給員工升職的機(jī)會(huì);B是說(shuō)改善工作環(huán)境;C是說(shuō)鼓勵(lì)員工與他人競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，文中均未提及。因此D為正確答案。

　　35.B

　　細(xì)節(jié)題。本題詢(xún)問(wèn)為什么金錢(qián)誘惑刺激不了工作熱情。答案出現(xiàn)在結(jié)尾處 Such values are more likely to motivate workers than financial targets，which ultimately only concern a few people.B選項(xiàng)是原文only concern a few people的同義轉(zhuǎn)述。A是說(shuō)它不能給員工帶來(lái)真正的利益;C是說(shuō)它是由管理層獨(dú)斷設(shè)立的;D是說(shuō)它超出了一般員工的掌控，文中均未提及。因此B為正確答案。
