六、阅读理解 (阅读下面的短文,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。)
Passage One A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The old examination system does anything but that. What has to be learnt is rigidly laid down by a syllabus(教学大纲), so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge, but induce cramming. They lower the standard of teaching, for they deprive the teacher of all freedom. Teachers themselves are often judged by examination results. And instead of teaching their subjects, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise (轻视,轻蔑). The most successful candidates are not always the best educated; they are the best trained in the technique of working under duress. The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment, by some anonymous examiner. Examiners are only human. They get tired and hungry ; they make mistakes. Yet they have to mark in a limited amount of time. There must be many simpler and more effective ways of assessing a person's true abilities. The examinations are only a profitable business for the institutions that run them. The best comment on the system is this message recently scrawled on the wall: "I were a teenage drop-out and now I am a teenage millionaire."

A.A good education trains you to think for yourself.

A B C D
D
[解析] 主旨大意题。如上所述,本文主要讲述的就是旧的考试体制所存在的问题和弊端。
2. The word "they" in the sentence "they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise" refers to ______.
Passage Two You may have the business qualifications. You may have an excellent record of good education and work experience. However, without good business manners you will not succeed. Treating people with respect should be second nature to you. It helps you get on well with the people you work with and with your bosses. It always pays to be polite. Here are some tips to help improve your business manners. If you are behind schedule, remember to take the time to contact your next appointment so that the person you are due to meet is aware of the delay. If necessary, you should rearrange the meeting for a more convenient time. Try not to leave any caller on hold for too long. It is better to tell someone you will call back when you are free. Be sure to return calls as soon as you can. If you cannot return the call immediately, apologize to the caller for the delay. Try to respond to letters within a set time. Keep a record of requests for reply within a certain time. Make a note in your diary of other deadlines (最后期限)for your work. If you are unable to respond quickly, write a short letter to the other person to explain the delay and tell him when you will reply. If you want to take a customer or a business friend out for lunch, you had better choose the restaurant and let your guest choose the time. You may think that you are not being paid as much as you should be. Do not discuss the matter with your colleagues. A good way is to contact an employment agency to find out the "going rate". Armed with this objective information, you can discuss your salary with your boss.

七、英译汉 (阅读下面的短文,然后把画线的句子翻译成汉语。) How well is your Web site meeting demand.9 The question may be more difficult to answer than you think. After all, sophisticated Web monitoring software can measure a sudden spike in traffic, but it won't correlate that spike with your company's seasonal marketing efforts. 1 Business intelligence (智能) software unifies data from a wide array of functional areas and departments to provide a holistic (完整的) understanding of the business. The result: Managers can predict future spikes in traffic based on the relative size of marketing campaigns. The first thing to do is capture information about your Web site operations and visitors. Start with the data in your Web log file. Here you will find valuable information about Web traffic patterns, such as peak traffic times and the most accessed pages on your Web site. 2 You'll also be able to learn what people search for once they get to your site, as well as the time it takes to find it. Don't overlook the value of information such as the type of browser and operating system used by your site visitors—these can affect how you choose to present your site. 3 Once you have this data gathered, business intelligence applications let you analyze the information to help you optimize (最佳化) your Web site. The application unifies data from various sources to help you effectively mine information and understand your customers' Web behavior. Most important, you are able to compare information in your Web logs against information from internal and external sources. 4 Track Web hits or transactions against fluctuations (波动) in your offline (线下) sales channels, for example, or see what happens to order volumes at the beginning of a fiscal quarter (会计季度) when many departments have new budgets (预算) to work with. Business intelligence software can be a powerful ally as you seek to keep hard-won customers in the fold. Knowing your customers and understanding how they interact with your Web site is a powerful tool for optimization. 5 You can glean (收集) trends during peak traffic periods that result in server overloads (超载), or identify search criteria that consistently fail to deliver anticipated (预期的) content.
