John Smith will replace her to contact our customers. Second, the staff car park will be closed next month for improvement work. The work will last only for a few weeks. Don't worry, we have found a solution. We can use the local community car park. It's only a 5-minute walk away from our building. The other thing I want to tell you about is that the canteen has now introduced a cashless payment system. So, you can't use cash for payments any more next month. You can pay directly with your smartphone. OK? That's it. Are there any questions? What is the first thing the speaker tells the team members? [解析] 题目询问说话人告知团队成员的第一件事是什么。在听到First时,便要重点留意,其后的内容就是考点。录音提到,项目团队发生了变动,故这里填入名词change“变动”。

[听力原文] Who will replace Jane Johnson to contact their customers? [解析] 题目询问谁将代替简·约翰逊去联系客户。录音首先提到了Jane Johnson将离开团队,接着立刻提及John Smith会接手Jane Johnson的工作,故答案填入John Smith。

[听力原文] Why will the staff car park be closed next month? [解析] 题目询问员工停车场下个月关闭的原因。说话人在提到员工停车场将在下个月关闭时,便提到了原因:for improvement work,故填入improvement“升级”。

five-minute
[听力原文] How far away is the local community car park from their building? [解析] 题目询问本地社区的停车场距离他们的大楼有多远。说话人提到员工可以使用本地社区的停车场,并表示停车场距离他们的大楼只有5分钟的步行路程,故填入five-minute“5分钟”。注意空格前有不定冠词a,这里不能写成five minutes。

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension 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 reading 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. Working from home comes with some additional benefits. You enjoy a better work-life balance, don't have to commute to the office and get to work in casual clothes if you want. Designing your home office space can produce a positive effect, too—if you're not stuck in a crowded room all day. Here are two ideas to help you design the ultimate home office. Choose your color. While some people like bright colors, you might not want to see yellow or green every day. Paint your office walls in a neutral (中性) color to give your eyes a break. You should also avoid darker colors, which tend to make small spaces feel even smaller. This doesn't mean your home office needs to be completely neutral. Add something like a framed art. Play with natural light. You might push your desk into a dark comer, creating an office cubicle (隔间). Working in a small space can make your home office feel much more oppressive than it needs to be. Instead, look for areas where natural light flows in your home. Move your desk close to windows while keeping it parallel to them to reduce glare (刺眼的光). You can also add curtains to help you manage the amount of light that enters your workspace each day, particularly around lunch time.
1. According to the first paragraph, if you work from home, you can ______.
2. The writer believes that designing one's home office space can ______.
A.increase the room size
B.create a positive effect
C.make it look professional
D.attract more customers
A B C D
B
[解析] 事实细节题。根据题干中的designing one's home office space定位至第1段第3句。第3句指出,设计居家办公空间还可以产生积极的影响(a positive effect),故选B项。 文中并未提到设计居家办公空间可以改变房间大小,也未提到这样做能够显得专业或者吸引客户,故排除A项、C项和D项。
3. Why are you advised not to use darker colors when designing your office space?______
A.They can create a dull atmosphere.
B.They may easily make you feel depressed.
C.They do not match your office desk and chair.
D.They are likely to make your space look smaller.
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实细节题。根据题干的darker colors定位至第2段最后一句。最后一句用which引导的定语从句指出深颜色会让小空间显得更小(make small spaces feel even smaller),故选D项。 文章未明确提到深颜色会营造沉闷的气氛、令人感到压抑或与桌椅不搭,故排除A项、B项和C项。
4. The word "oppressive" in Paragraph 4 means "______".
A.relaxed
B.interested
C.uncomfortable
D.flexible
A B C D
C
[解析] 词义猜测题。根据题干要求定位至第4段第3句。第3句提到“在一个狭小的空间里工作”(Working in a small space),从逻辑上来判断,这样的空间肯定是不舒服的,因此oppressive一词的意思可能与“不舒服的”有关,故选C项。 oppressive是由动词oppress“压迫;压抑”加上形容词性词缀-ive构成,从oppress的词义便可推断出oppressive是一个消极性质的形容词。A项、B项和D项都属于积极性质的形容词,故可直接排除。
5. The purpose of adding curtains in your home is ______.
A.to add a feeling of warmth to the room
B.to control the amount of natural light
C.to save on your electrical bill
D.to protect your privacy
A B C D
B
[解析] 事实细节题。根据题干中的adding curtains定位至最后一段最后一句。最后一句指出,可以通过添置窗帘来管理每天进入工作空间的光照量(manage the amount of light),故选B项。 文章并未提到自然光营造温暖感觉的功能,也未提及电费和个人隐私,故排除A项、C项和D项。

B.你在获得首份空中乘务员的工作前,通常需要1年或2年在服务岗位上的工作经验。
C.你首先必须有在相关的领域工作1至2年的经验,你才有可能获得当乘务员的资质。
A B C
B
[解析] 你在获得首份空中乘务员的工作前,通常需要1年或2年在服务岗位上的工作经验。 本句是一个简单句,句子主要成分在前面,即You need 1 or 2 years of work experience,也就是实现before后面内容的前提条件。 ①本句的难点在于对before getting your first job as a flight attendant“在获得首份空中乘务员的工作前”的理解;其次work experience in a service occupation“在服务岗位上的工作经验”也需要理清。②依据分析,B项是最佳翻译。③A项的不足之处在于将work experience in a service occupation错译成“航空公司实习”,并将frst iob理解成了“正式工作”。④C项与原句句意相差甚远。
2. What is covered by rental property insurance varies by the type of property being insured, its location, and claims history.
A.租赁财产保险是按不同的投保类型、所在地域及理赔史来投保的。
B.租赁财产保险会根据不同的投保险种和地点给予不同等级的理赔。
C.租赁财产保险承保范围因保险财产的类型、位置和理赔历史而异。
A B C
C
[解析] 租赁财产保险承保范围因保险财产的类型、位置和理赔历史而异。 本句是一个复合句,其主语是what引导的主语从句,谓语动词是vary的第三人称单数形式varies。 ①本句的难点在于动词varies“(根据……)变化;(根据……)而异”的理解。②依据分析,C项是最佳翻译。③项的不足之处在于漏译了tyrpe of property中的property“财产”。④B项与原句句意相差甚远。
3. The first thing an employer needs to do is find out how to make his employees care about the company's vision.
A.雇主首先需要弄清楚如何使他的员工关心公司的愿景。
B.雇主应想方设法让他的雇员关心公司未来发展的计划。
C.雇主需要关心自己的员工所想,帮助解决他们的问题。
A B C
A
[解析] 雇主首先需要弄清楚如何使他的员工关心公司的愿景。 这是一个复合句,其中how to make his employees care about the company's vision是find out的宾语。 ①本句的难点在于对The first thing“首要的事情”的理解,以及对动词短语find out“弄清楚”的理解。 ②依据分析,A项是最佳翻译。③B项的不足之处在于漏译了The first thing;此外还把find out错译成“设法让……”。④C项与原句句意相差甚远。
4. Available research shows that more than half of people who are currently employed are considering getting a new job.
A.现有的研究表明,一半以上的就业人员都想要申请一份理想的工作。
B.现有的研究显示,目前一半以上的就业人员正在考虑找一份新工作。
C.现有的研究说明,现在有一半以上的年青人希望从事高科技的工作。
A B C
B
[解析] 现有的研究显示,目前一半以上的就业人员正在考虑找一份新工作。 这是一个复合句,that引导宾语从句,作shows的宾语;在宾语从句中,又包含了who引导的定语从句,修饰先行词people。 ①本句的难点在于对considering“考虑”的理解;此外,getting a new job“找一份新工作”也需要理清。②依据分析,B项是最佳翻译。③A项的不足之处在于漏译currently,把a new job错译成“一份理想的工作”。④C项与原句句意相差甚远。
5. Our responsibility is to ensure the health and safety of our community. To provide access to our books safely in the reading rooms, we have adopted new measures based on guidelines from public health officials. To ensure social distancing (社交距离) and to allow staff to clean equipment, appointments are now required. Appointment requests must be made at least five business days in advance of your visit. Please submit a request for an appointment using this form.
[解析] ①第2句的主干是we have adopted new measures;句首的To...是目的状语,表明采取新措施的目的;based on...是过去分词短语作后置定语修饰measures。②本段的翻译难点一方面涉及专业词汇的翻译,比如public health officials“公共卫生官员”,另一方面涉及被动句的翻译,比如appointments are now required“现在(来阅览室)需要预约”。注意:在翻译被动语态的句子时,不一定要生硬地把“被”翻译出来,应考虑汉语的表达习惯,被动变主动。

[解析] 本题要求以办公室秘书梁丽的名义发邮件给部门同事,告知团建具体事宜。邮件内容较多,撰写邮件时应避免遗漏细节,并且做到表达简洁准确、结构条分缕析。 本题的表达难点:部门department;会议室meeting room;增进enhance;外籍员工foreign employee;安排好工作arrange your work。
