Part Ⅱ Structure 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 are required to complete each one by deciding on the most appropriate word or words from the 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.

A B C D
D
[考点] 固定搭配 [解析] 你应该花点时间思考怎样才能最好地处理这些问题。 本题考查spend time on sth./(in) doing sth. 的用法。spend time on sth. /(in)doing sth. 是固定搭配,意为“花费时间做某事”。如搭配介词on,后面则跟名词;如搭配介词in,后面则跟动词-ing形式,此时介词in可以省略,由此确定本题答案为D。 to think、think和thought分别为动词不定式、动词原形和动词过去式,与spend的用法不符,可以排除。

A.how
B.where
C.what
D.when

Section B Directions:There are 5 incomplete statements here. You should fill in each blank with the proper form of the word given in brackets. Write the word or words in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.
1. The employees are asked to avoid (use) ______ a cell phone when they are operating heavy machinery.
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. Trying to avoid the bad news or hoping that it will disappear on its own will only make it worse. The issue isn't going to solve itself. The delay will only add fuel to fire. You need to announce the bad news at the right time. This will strengthen your relationship with people in the organization and give you an opportunity to show your leadership skills. And avoiding it has quite the opposite effect. People start doubting your abilities. So next time you have to deliver bad news to your boss and are tempted to delay, remember this: it's in your own best interest and the interest of the organization. Step up, get over your fears and do the right thing. Don't blame. Failing to admit your own part and blaming others for how something turned out are natural defense tactics (手段), but they only shift your focus from attending to the bad news to playing a blame game. When you don't accept your fault, your mind might look up solutions to cover up the problem instead of identifying creative ways to address the real issue. Keep emotions in check. When bad news strikes, feeling emotional is natural. However, letting those emotions consume, you can take away your power to think rationally (理性地). Staying calm will make your boss trust you more with whatever you wish to convey.
2. By announcing the bad news at the good time, you will ______.
A.win your boss's trust
B.strengthen your confidence
C.show your leadership skills
D.increase your chance of promotion
A B C D
C
[解析] 细节辨认题。由题干中的announcing the bad news和good time定位到文章第二段第一、二句。定位句提出建议:你需要在适当的时候宣布坏消息,这不仅会加强你与他人的关系,还会为你提供展示领导能力的机会。对比选项可以确定C“展示你的领导能力”为本题的答案。 A“赢得你老板的信任”、B“增强你的自信”和D“增加你提升的机会”均与原文表述不符,因此可以排除。
3. If you fail to admit your own part in something wrong, you will ______.
A.begin to doubt your leadership abilities
B.find it difficult to cover up the bad news
C.be likely to focus on attending to the bad news
D.be unable to find ways to address the bad news
A B C D
D
[解析] 细节推断题。由题干中的fail to admit your own part in something定位到文章第四段第二、三句。定位句指出,不承认自己的责任一味指责别人只会把注意力从关注坏消息转移到互相指责。当你不承认自己的错误,就会掩盖问题,而不是寻找解决问题的创新性方法,因此确定D“无法找到解决坏消息的方法”为本题的答案。 A“开始怀疑你的领导能力”、B“发现很难掩盖这个坏消息”和C“可能专注于处理坏消息”在原文中均未提及,因此可以排除。
4. When bad news suddenly occurs, you should ______.
Task 2 Directions:This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45. With the FUN Pass, you can make the most out of Sentosa. Just choose your pass, then choose what you want to play. Whether you're one for activities or adventures (探险) for the whole family, there's plenty of fun for everyone. FUN Passes purchased are strictly non-refundable, including in the event of bad weather conditions. Child price is applicable to children aged 3-12 years. Price of passes excludes island admission fee and transport fares. Usual prices indicated are based on approximate rates.

1. Once you have bought a FUN Pass, ______.
A.you can visit all of the attractions
B.you can visit an attraction three times
C.you are unable to get your payment back
D.you can refund your payment within a week
A B C D
C
[解析] 细节推断题。由题干中的bought a FUN Pass定位到文章第二段第一句。定位句指出,所购买的游乐通票不予退款,即便遇到恶劣天气也是如此。C项中的unable to get your payment back是对定位句中non-refundable的同义转换,由此可以确定C“你无法收回付款”为本题的答案。 A“你可以参观所有的景点”与第一段中Just choose your pass, then choose what you want to play“只要选择你的通行证,然后选择你想玩的”表述不符,B“你可以参观一个景点三次”在原文中未提及,D“你可以在一周内退款”与定位句中的non-refundable表述不符,因此可以排除。 文章速览:本文主要介绍了圣淘沙岛的售票政策。一是所购买的游乐通票即便在恶劣天气情况下也不予退款,3—12岁可购买儿童票;二是通票在指定时间内或景点关闭前有效,以较早者为准,通票遗失不补,未游览景点票价不退;三是网上购买的通票必须在圣淘沙岛售票处凭收据兑换新票。

A B C D
D
[解析] 细节辨认题。由题干中的redeem their FUN Passes和online store定位到文章第四段第一句。定位句指出,网上购买的通票必须在圣淘沙岛的售票处凭收据兑换新票,由此可确定D“在圣淘沙岛的售票处”为本题的答案。 A“在当地的旅行社”、B“在圣淘沙岛的礼品店”和C“在信息中心”与原文表述不符,因此均可以排除。
4. According to the last paragraph, a confirmation receipt can be used and acceptable for ______.

Task 5 Directions:Read the following passage. After reading it, you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No. 56 to No. 60) that follow. The answers (in no more than 3 words) should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet. In 2012, we started a "Sales-as-a-Service" business called ElasticSales. Our vision was to build the sales infrastructure (基础设施) necessary to enable companies to scale their sales efforts. We opened an office, hired top sales talent, and signed up clients within the first few weeks. Next, we searched the market for the best technologies available. Unfortunately, we came back disappointed. Existing solutions seemed to be focused on turning sales professionals into data entry specialists. None of them showed any understanding of the needs of a sales person when it came to their job and daily workflow (工作流程). We decided to fix the problem instead of complaining about it. We started developing our own internal sales application. During that time our sales people generated millions of dollars in sales for hundreds of venture backed Silicon Valley startups using our secret sales sauce: Close. We knew we were sitting on something special when we got more and more demand from other people who wanted to use our internal software, so in January 2013 we released Close to the world. Today, we're 40+team members from around the world—supporting and coaching thousands of customers to grow every single day.
1. What was the vision of the business? Building the sales infrastructure necessary to enable companies to scale ______.
2. Why did they come disappointed after they searched the market for the best technologies available? Because existing solutions showed no understanding of the needs of ______.
a sales person
[解析] 本题考查公司在市场上寻找可用的销售软件最终失望而归的原因。根据线索词existing solutions和understanding of the needs of定位到第二段第三、四句。定位句指出,现有的解决方案似乎专注于将销售专业人员转变为数据输入专家,而在工作和日常工作流程方面,他们都没有表现出对销售人员需求的任何理解。通过对比题干和原文,可以确定本题的答案为a sales person。
3. What did they do to fix the problem? They began developing their own internal ______.
sales application
[解析] 本题考查公司解决问题的方式是什么。根据线索词fix the problem、developing和own internal定位到第三段和第四段第一句。定位句指出,既然找不到现成的技术,公司开始开发自己内部使用的销售应用程序来解决问题。通过对比题干和原文,可以确定本题的答案为sales application。
4. What did ElasticSales release to the world in 2013? An application called ______.
Part Ⅳ Translation Directions:This part, numbered 61 through 65, is to test your ability to translate English into Chinese. After each of the sentences numbered 61 to 64, you will read three choices of suggested translation marked A, B and C. You should choose the best translation and mark the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. And for the paragraph numbered 65, write your translation in the corresponding space on the Translation/ Composition Sheet.
1. One of the amazing things about education is that teachers all have different styles, approaches, personalities and backgrounds.
A.关于教育的一个令人惊奇的事情是,教师都有不同的风格、方法、个性和背景。
B.教师会在教学中针对不同的学生采用不同的方法,都是为了取得更好的效果。
C.我们的调查有一个惊人的发现,学校教师都有不同的风格、方法、个性和背景。
A B C
A
[解析] 本题的关键在于分析句子结构。句子主干是One of the amazing things... is that...,整体上是主系表结构。about education是amazing things的后置定语,amazing things译为“令人惊奇的事情”。 B的译文与原文完全不符。C多译“我们的调查”,漏译about education。
2. To protect against electrical shock, do not put the appliance or allow the power cord to come into contact with water or any other liquid.
A.为了防止触电,不要将电器或电源线与水或其他任何液体接触。
B.如果电器或电源线接触到水,可能会导致触电引起的人身伤亡。
C.如果电器使用不当会引起触电或火灾,甚至造成严重伤亡事故。
A B C
A
[解析] 本题的关键是确定句子类型。本句是祈使句,句子主干是do not put... or allow...。前半句为动词不定式作目的状语,主干中的第一个or连接两个并列的动宾结构。protect against译为“防止”,electrical shock译为“触电”,appliance译为“电器”,power cord译为“电源线”。 B将To protect against electrical shock错译为“可能会导致触电引起的人身伤亡”,未译出祈使句的命令语气。C多译“电器使用不当”和“造成严重伤亡事故”,漏译protect against electrical shock。
3. You should encourage your workers to meet with challenges, rather than discouraging them by only focusing on their shortcomings.
A.你应该鼓励员工迎接挑战,而非仅关注他们的缺点,令他们丧失信心。
B.你应该鼓励员工参加各种培训,积极创造有利条件,让他们迅速成长。
C.你应该积极鼓励员工去迎接挑战,并且要求员工关注自己的不足之处。
A B C
A
[解析] 本题的关键是正确理解词义。meet with challenges译为“迎接挑战”,rather than作介词,译为“而非,而不是”discouraging的意思是“使灰心,使泄气”;by... focusing on为介宾短语作方式状语,focusing on译为“关注”。 B将meet with challenges错译为“参加各种培训”,多译“积极创造有利条件”和“让他们迅速成长”,漏译discouraging them by only focusing on their shortcomings。C将rather than discouraging them by only focusing on their shortcomings错译为“并且要求员工关注自己的不足之外”。
4. We believe that a smart city should provide an urban environment for its residents who can enjoy a high quality of life.
A.我们相信,每一个城市都应该给居民提供交通便利、生活舒适的宜居环境。
B.我们相信,城市管理者应该为居民提供一个良好生活品质的城市宜居环境。
C.我们相信,智慧城市应该为市民提供一个可以享受高品质生活的城市环境。
A B C
C
[解析] 本题的关键是正确理解词义。该句整体上是主谓宾结构,宾语从句中的residents又有定语从句修饰。smart city译为“智慧城市”,urban environment译为“城市环境”,high quality of life译为“高品质生活”。 A将a smart city错译为“每一个城市”,将urban environment错译为“宜居环境”,多译“交通便利、生活舒适”,漏译enjoy a high quality of life。B将a smart city错译为“城市管理者”。
5. My most successful sale was one where I had to take over a customer from another salesperson who suddenly had to leave the company. I immediately contacted the client and let them know the situation. I told them my background so that they would feel safe working with me. I did not say anything negative about my colleague because that would damage the company's reputation. I gave the customer enough time to think about the purchase.
第一句中做了一些意译,most successful sale结合中文表达习惯译为“最成功的一次销售经历”,have to do sth. 译为“必须,不得不做某事”,take over a customer译为“接过的一个客户”。 2.第二句中,contact译为“联系”,let them know译为“让他们知道”,situation译为“情况”。 3.第三句中,background译为“个人背景”,feel safe译为“放心”。 4.第四句中,anything negative译为“任何坏话”,damage the company's reputation译为“损害公司的声誉”。 5.第五句中,think about the purchase译为“考虑这次购买(事宜)”。

[解析] 本文要求根据汉语提示,以人力资源部经理John Smith的名义为新入职员工写欢迎信,写作时注意英文书信的格式。 题目要求书信包含五部分内容:一是对新员工表示欢迎,二是介绍公司的文化和理念,三是希望新员工早日熟悉工作环境,四是希望新员工做出自己的贡献,最后祝愿他们工作愉快。 书信是常用的应用文,有特定的格式,在称呼及其后的标点、结束语等方面与汉语书信有较大差异。写信内容简明扼要、意思表达清楚即可,无须过度修饰。 A将a smart city错译为“每一个城市”,将urban environment错译为“宜居环境”,多译“交通便利、生活舒适”,漏译enjoy a high quality of life。B将a smart city错译为“城市管理者”。
