Part Ⅰ Writing Directions: For this part, suppose you are the Chairperson of the Student Union at your university. Write a welcome speech to the new students at your university. You should write no more than 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 1. 表示欢迎 2. 介绍学校的有关情况(如图书馆、饭厅和体育活动场所等); 3. 遇到困难该如何解决。 A Welcome Speech to New Students
A Welcome Speech to New Students Ladies and Gentlemen, First, as a Chairperson of the Students' Union, I would like to give you a warm welcome to our university. I'd like to take this opportunity to briefly introduce the university, so that you might make a full use of its facilities in the future. There is a brand new library just behind this building. You will spend a lot of your time there, I think. The canteen is to the right of this building. There are plenty of different kinds of food for you to choose from. If you are interested in sports, I can recommend the multifunction gym. There, you will find a standard-sized swimming pool, all kinds of ball sports, and even climbing facilities. Student life is not easy for everybody. If you have any difficulties, please just pop into the Students' Union Office where there are various support facilities, for those with financial, study, or emotional problems. We will try our best to give you some advice, which will hopefully help you to solve the problems. That's all from me. I hope you enjoy your campus life. Thank you very much.

Car Pollution Jump in the car, start your engine and you're off. But do you give any thought to what's coming out of the tailpipe as you go about your drive? Carbon dioxide is the dominant greenhouse gas that causes global warming. The effects of global warming are uncertain, but they potentially include disruption of global weather patterns and ecosystems, flooding, severe storm, and droughts. Carbon monoxide, when inhaled, combines with haemoglobin in our blood, impairing the flow of oxygen to our brain and other parts of the body. Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless, and poisonous even to healthy people (at high levels). It can seriously affect people with heart disease, and can affect the central nervous system. Motor vehicles are the main source of carbon monoxide pollution in many countries. Sulphur oxides contribute to respiratory illness, particularly in children and the elderly, and aggravate existing heart and lung diseases. It contributes to the formation of acid rain, which damages trees, crops, and buildings; and makes soils, lakes, and streams acidic. Nitrogen oxide is a noxious pollutant. It is a lung irritant and reacts with compounds in the air to cause acid rain and ozone (the main reason for smog). Nitrogen oxide is one of the main ingredients involved in the formation of ground-level ozone (which can trigger serious respiratory problems), and contributes to global warming. Particulate matter, consisting of tiny particles of smoke, soot and dust primarily from engines, car parts, tires, and diesel exhaust, are an established cause of lung problems, from shortness of breath to worsening of respiratory and cardiovascular disease, damage to lung tissues, and cancer. The EPA estimates that particulate pollution kills more than 60,000 people per year. In addition, particulates are associated with increased hospital ad missions and emergency room visits for people with heart and lung disease, as well as work and school absences. Particulates can travel deep into the lungs, or in smaller form, directly into the bloodstream. Hydrocarbons, in their many forms, are directly hazardous, contributing to what are collectively called "air toxics." These compounds directly irritate the lung and other tissues, can cause cancer, contribute to birth defects, and cause other illnesses. Lead damages organs, affects the brain, nerves, heart, and blood. Although overall blood lead levels have decreased since 1976, urban areas with high levels of traffic or industrial facilities that burn fuel may still have high lead levels in air. In 1999, ten areas of the country did not meet the national health-based air quality standards for lead. Hybrid cars use less gas, and therefore produce fewer emissions, than conventional cars. Take a look at the statistics below (based on a car travelling 14,000 miles per year). ●A conventional car produces 11,100 pounds of CO2 per year, compared with the 4,800 pounds of CO2 produced by a hybrid car. ●A conventional car produces 330 pounds of carbon monoxide per year, compared with the 230 pounds produced by a hybrid car. ●A conventional car produces 49 pounds of nitrogen oxide per year, compared with the 17 pounds produced by a hybrid car. ●A conventional car produces 670 grams of particulate matter per year, compared with the 240 grams produced by a hybrid car. ●A conventional car produces 29 pounds of hydrocarbons per year, compared with the 8 pounds produced by a hybrid car. Rolling Up Your Window Won't Help Exposure to some car pollutants may be much higher inside your car than outside. Commuters driving in rush hour get the highest exposure, often from pollutants emitted by vehicles ahead of them. You are basically driving in and through -- and contributing to -- a lethal cocktail of air pollution. Other Impacts on the Environment When you think of pollution from cars, the first thing that comes to mind is noxious fumes. But the ,problems don't stop with air pollution. The environmental consequences associated with cars are much wider. Water Pollution Runoff of oil, automotive fluids, and roadway chemicals are estimated at hundreds of thousands of tons per year, and are considered the leading source of impairment to rivers. In addition, hundreds of thousands of potential leaks from underground fuel storage tanks threaten groundwater, and improperly disposed of used motor oil ends up in waterways. Noise Pollution Noise from car traffic, and loud car stereos and alarms, has become so ubiquitous that we barely notice it anymore -- but it's taking its toll. Recent census data indicates that 1 in 8 American households suffer from bothersome noise from the street or traffic. Problems related to noise include hearing loss, stress, high blood pressure, sleep loss, distraction, and lost productivity, and a general reduction in the quality of life and opportunities for tranquility. Solid Waste Over 10 million automobiles are scrapped every year, creating approximately seven billion pounds of unrecycled scrap and waste every year. Approximately 800 million tires are stockpiled in dumps around the country, creating a serious fire hazard and an ongoing environmental hazard. Every stockpiled tire sheds rubber each year, spewing minute grains of rubber into the atmosphere and back down into the water supply and human lungs. Wildlife The Humane Society estimates that around a million animals die on U. S. roads every day. Agriculture Air and water pollution from vehicles compromises the growth, reproduction and over all health of plants, which are susceptible to disease, pests, and environmental stress. It reduces agricultural yields for many economically important crops, such as soybean, wheat, and cotton. The Built-up Environment During the last century, an area roughly equal to all the arable land in Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania was paved in the United States -- requiting maintenance costs of over $ 200 million a day and trapping us in large, sprawling and undesirable concrete jungles. Approximately one-third of an average city's land is devoted to roads and other car-related elements. Interstate highways cut through and divide countless neighbourhoods, taking homes and destroying businesses. We add more and more roads, encouraging wider use of private cars and ever-increasing traffic congestion.
1. The passage gives an insight into how the United States could develop a new transport policy for the 21st century.
N
The passage gives an insight into how the United States could develop a new transport policy for the 21st century．这是一道明显的考察文章主旨的题目，答案可以在具有概括性功能的地方出现——在文章首段及各个小标题中没有发现policy或者任何和policy相关的表达，则可以判断本文的，主旨中心不在“政策”上，因此答案为N。
2. Low levels of carbon monoxide are not poisonous for healthy individuals.
Y
Low levels of carbon monoxide are not poisonous for healthy individuals．线索词汇为low levels of carbon monoxide，定位在以carbon monoxide为小标题的段落中，发现出现poisonous的句子最后有个限定范围：at high levels，所以该题为Y。
3. The use of cars creates particulate matter in different ways, rather than just one.
Y
The use of cars creates particulate matter in different ways，rather than just one．线索词汇为 particulate matter，定位在以particulate matter为小标题的段落，发现第一句话中作者列举了至少三种类型的颗粒物，所以该题为Y。
4. In the United States, the only pollutant for which there is a national air quality standard is lead.
NG
In the United States，the only pollutant for which there is a national air quality standard is lead．线索词汇为lead，定位在以lead为小标题的段落，再专找出现有national air quality standard的地方，即末句：“1999年，本国有十个地区空气中铅的含量没有达到国家空气质量标准。”并未出现“铅是唯一有国家空气质量标准的污染物”的信息，但又不和原文抵触，所以答案为NG。
5. Out of the seven pollutants mentioned in the first half of the article, hybrid cars produce fewer pollutants in at least five cases.
Y
Out of the seven pollutants mentioned in the first half of the article，hybrid cars produce fewer pollutants in at least five cases．根据hybrid cars定位，发现这个段落下面列举了五个例证，证明hybrid cars比传统车辆好，则答案为Y。
6. Noise pollution is annoying, but does not result in any physical problems for people living in noisy areas.
N
Noise pollution is annoying，but does not result in any physical problems for people living in noisy areas．根据noise pollution定位，找到了以之为小标题的段落，在末句中列举了数种健康问题，则对应题目发现是题文相反的，因此答案为N。
7. The United States produced higher crop harvests before roads took away land and pollution affected crops.
NG
The United States produced higher crop harvests before roads took away land(NG)and pollution affected crops．根据higher crop harvests定位，找到了以agriculture为小标题的段落，扫描 段落后没有发现roads took away land的存在，所以该题为NG。
8. Pollutants from cars cause ______ , which can damage buildings and pollute rivers.
acid rain
Pollutants from cars cause ______，which can damage buildings and pollute rivers．线索词除了pollutants之外还有buildings and rivers，据此定位找到了以sulphur oxides为小标题的段落，末句有building和stream (river)的出现，所以答案应该是本句中的acid rain。
9. Pollutants from cars create a ______ which people in cars are most exposed to.
lethal cocktail
Pollutants from cars create a ______，which people in cars are most exposed to．线索词为people in cars，expose，根据“在车内”的信息定位到以rolling up your window won't help为小标题的段落．且提到一个具体污染物名称的是该段最后一句：lethal cocktail，其中cocktail已经不是鸡尾酒的意思，而是混合药物的意思。
10. Particulate matter caused by cars is still a problem after the car has been taken off the roads forever, because particles from ______ pollute the atmosphere and water.
stockpiled tires
Particulate matter caused by cars is still a problem after the car has been taken off the roads forever，because particles from ______ pollute the atmosphere and water.线索词为 taken off the roads forever，atmosphere，water。根据“永远离开道路”推断，应指车辆报废，故定位在以solid waste为小标题的段落，再找到atmosphere和water，所以答案应该为stockpiled tires (堆放的轮胎)。
Part Ⅲ Listening Comprehension
Section A Directions: In this section, you will hear 8 short conversations and 2 long conversations. At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said. Both the conversation and the questions will be spoken only once. After each question there will be a pause.

[解析] 19-22 M: Right, let's get on to the marketing strategy. W: Well, the marketing team believe that we should launch the product at the International Trade Fair and invite the media to a party on the evening of the 22nd. M: The idea being that the media will be more favourable to our product if we give them some food and drinks before they write their stories. W: Exactly! But to be honest, our product should really sell myself. M: Well, a little marketing and promotion won't hurt. We'll be giving demonstrations at the trade fair, right? W: Yes, all day long. It'll be a little repetitive, but ensure that everyone has a chance to see it in action. M: Good. Did you get the budget accepted by the Board of Directors? W: I did. We've got the full amount we asked for. That means we can go ahead with the newspaper and Internet ads. M: And the ads in the specialist magazines. I think that those will get us the bulk of our orders. W: I agree. They're very expensive, but they'll be worth it. I've also placed the order for the brochures. The printer will have them done by the end of next week. M: That was a good idea of yours to have the brochure prepared even before we got the budget approved. If we hadn't done that, we'd never have been able to get the brochures printed in time. W: Well, it was clear that we'd get the budget we asked for. The board wasn't going to risk having our product flop because of a lack of publicity, was it? M: I wasn't entirely sure we'd get the full budget, to be honest. I've seen the board fail to put enough money into marketing and promotion before. W: Really? How could they be so short sighted! M: It's amazing, isn't it? W: Tell me about it over a drink. It's been a long day! M: You're right. I'm really looking forward to the weekend. W: Me, too. We've got everything ready to go. I might even come in late on Monday morning! 19. Why will the company host a party?
此题考查从内容进行推测和听细节的能力。此题的对话较长，至少考生应抓住一句：The idea being that the media will be more favourable to our product if we give them some food and drinks before they write their stories，对话中并没有直接提到party一词，但是some food and drinks与之意义相同，与B选项相同，而且party是要招待媒体，因此，C选项可排除。至于A选项，通过the marketing team believe that we should launch the product at the International Trade Fair and invite the media to a party on the evening of the 22nd一句，可以看出此项产品还没有上市。D选项与对话后半段内容不符，可排除。
2.
A.None.
B.One.
C.More than one.
D.It depends on the Board of Directors.
A B C D
C
[解析] How many demonstrations will the company give of its new product?
此题考查听细节的能力。解题关键此题要求考生抓住一句：It'll be a little repetitive，but ensure that everyone has a chance to see it in action．通过repetitive一词，可推断展示不止一次，故选 C选项。另外，考生在做此题时，应认准中心词demonstration，当听到We'll be giving demonstrations at the trade fair，对方也表示肯定时，就应该确认，demonstration并不止一场。

4.
A.The man and woman are both on the Board of Directors.
B.At least one of the speakers is on the Board of Directors.
C.The Board of Directors doesn't always spend enough money on marketing.
D.The Board of Directors doesn't know how the marketing budget will be spent.
A B C D
C
[解析] Which of these statements about the Board of Directors is true?
此题考查听细节的能力。此题要求考生听懂I've seen the board fail to put enough money into marketing and promotion before一句，听懂了这句话，就不难选定C选项。在做此题时，考生应该抓住the Board of Directors，当听到How could they be so short-sighted!一句时，就可判定the two speakers都不是Board的成员。至于D选项，对话中并没有提及。常用搭配：marketing strategy营销策略；launch the product发行产品；be favourable to有利于；in action在活动，在运转；Board of Directors委员会；in time及时；a lack of缺乏；look forward to期盼。
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
D.It is between the Student Union and the library.
A B C D
B
[解析] 23-25 W: So, what are we going to show the freshmen on their orientation? M: Well, I thought that we should meet at the main gate, since it's easy to find and convenient for those students arriving by public transport. W: OK. I see that you want to bring them here first. I suppose that's fair enough. We need to make sure that they can get from the main gate to the department. M: That's exactly what I thought. In a way, it's good that we are quite far from the main gate. I can point out the Student Union and library on the way. W: Now, you said that you wanted me to show them round the department myself. M: If you wouldn't mind. I think it's better that you, as department head, get a chance to talk to them for a while, rather than just saying 'hello' and then disappearing. W: I quite agree. I'll show them the labs, seminar rooms, and the professors' offices. We're a small department, so it shouldn't wear them out! M: Thanks very much for doing that. I hope it's not too much trouble. I really do think that we need to make them feel at home right from the start. W: I couldn't agree more. I remember that I was terrified when I first went to uni. All those strange places and faces! What are you going to do with them afterwards? M: Then I'll show them the canteen and sports centre on the east side of the campus. W: Don't forget to show them the Bookshop and be ready to help out with any students who have problems. M: Got it. I can show them the bookshop on the way back to the main gate. 23. What do the speakers say about the main gate?
此题考查听细节的能力。要选对此题，考生必须听懂I thought that we should meet at the main gate，since it's easy to find and convenient for those students arriving by public transport．，此句与 B选项内容相符，可确定B项为正确答案。A项内容对话中并没有提到。至于B选项，只要考生理解了We need to make sure that they can get from the main gate to the department一句，就能判定the main gate并不靠近the department。如果考生理解了I can point out the Student Union and library on the way．一句，就应该知道，the Student Union和library是在the main gate和the department之间，就可以排除D选项。
2.
A.He doesn't.
B.He wants the woman and students to be good friends.
C.The woman knows more about it than he does.
D.He thinks it's important for the woman to be more than just a 'face'.

Section B Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A) , B) , C) and D) , Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 26-28 Farming in Britain has changed a great deal in the last 30 years. Farming used to employ a great many people in Britain but nowadays, with machinery, a few people can run a huge farm of thousands of hectares. Agriculture provides around 60 percent of Britain's food needs even though it employs just 2 percent of the country's labor force. Britain's agriculture is under pressure to change at the moment. Farmers are under pressure to adopt more environmentally friendly methods such as organic farming. Organic farming does not use artificial chemicals that can damage the environment and human health. Its popularity has grown rapidly in recent years. Different types of farming occur in different regions of Britain. This is due to the influence of relief, climate, and soil type and to an extent closeness to the market. Upland areas generally lend themselves to sheep farming. Flat areas to crop production and wet/warm areas to milk and beef production. Some parts of Britain have excellent soil for crops, while others are used for cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry. In the northwest of England, Wales and Scotland, farmers keep cattle and sheep. Sheep can survive the cold winters on the hills and moors. In the southwest of England, the rich grass is ideal for feeding dairy cows. In the southeast of England and the lowlands of Scotland, grain, potatoes and sugar beet are grown. In East Anglia (Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex), wheat, barley and vegetables grow in enormous fields. 26. What do farmers do in the northwest of England?
此题考查听细节的能力。做此题时，学生应一边看题，一边听，在听到in the northwest of England的时候，就应该抓住题干，做出答案。keep cattle and sheep在英文中是“饲养牛羊”的意思。我们饲养宠物，用英文表达就是keep pets．
2.
A.Flowers.
B.Trees.
C.Cows and sheep
D.Wheat, barely and vegetables.
A B C D
D
[解析] What grows in the enormous fields?
此题考查听细节的能力。做此题时，学生应一边看题，一边听。在最后听到关键词enormous fields的时候，做出答案。enormous的意思是“extremely large in size and amount”。这里用来形容大片的田地。
3.
A.Farming without using chemicals.
B.Farming using machines.
C.Farming using chemicals.
D.Keeping cows and sheep.
A B C D
A
[解析] What is organic farming?
此题考查听细节的能力。该题考察文章中出现的单词的定义。在四级听力中考察单词的定义的时候，通常在读出该单词后，接着就是对该词的解释。我们首先听到organic farming，虽然我们不是特别了解该词组的专业意思，但是后面的句子中马上就提到了Organic farming does not use artificial chemicals，．．，所以四个选项中只有A符合题意。organic farming在英文中是“有机农业”的意思。就是在耕种过程中，不使用人工化学制品，不影响土地及人类的健康。
Passage Two Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 29-31 England became a stronghold of the Protestant version of Christianity during the 16th Century. In thel7th century, the British people developed a system of government by parliament which was later copied in many other countries. During the18th Century, the great revolutions in farming and industry that later took place worldwide, began in Britain. Steam power, steam trains, coal mines and water power began to transform the means of transport and production. The world's, first industrial cities grew in the Midlands. Then, in thel9th Century, the development of a massive British Empire brought power and wealth to the nation. By the time Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837, Britain had be come the world's greatest power. Later on, in the 20th century, Britain played a vital part in saving Europe from the threat of Fascism during World War Two. In1966, England won the Football World Cup and became World Champion. This is some thing many British people are very proud of. Britain joined the European Community in 1973, but was still separated from mainland Europe. Finally, in 1994 the Channel Tunnel was opened, which links Britain back to the European continent. The first men and women came to Britain over two and a half million years ago. They were hunters and gatherers of food who used simple stone tools and weapons. Britain used to be joined to, the European land mass. It became an island separate from the rest of Europe about 8,500 years ago, when melting ice formed the English Channel. Britain has been invaded by people from Italy, Germany, Scandinavia and France, each bringing with them their own languages and customs. 29. What happened in 1966?
此题考查听细节的能力。四级听力考试过程中，考生在听到有关人名、日期的时候，如关键词in the year of 1981；Einstein，a famous scientist．．．的时候，就应该留心问题中会出现有关日期和人及人的事迹的相关考察。在做类似的题的时候，应该一边看题，一边听。Football World Cup是“世界杯足球比赛的意思”。

[解析] What is the name of the under water road which joins England and France?
此题考查听细节的能力。该题应该采用排除法。选项A)The Atlantic Tunnel. B)The Pacific Tunnel C)The Caribbean Tunnel．都和题干中的the under water road which joins England and France．．连接英国和法国的地下隧道没有关系。有很多考生对英国和法国的地理环境并不是很了解，但是在做该题的时候，考生千万别慌，想想能连接英国和法国的地下隧道，既不可能在大西洋 The Atlantic，也不会在太平洋，更不可能在加勒比海Caribbean。所以该项选择只能是D。
Passage Three Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 32-35 It arrived on a Friday afternoon. The idea probably originated somewhere over the Atlantic, off the coast of Africa. It came across the world, until it finally found me, stuck in traffic, and flew through my ear into my head. And I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. History had always been my academic passion. I've read so many history textbooks, I've sat down and read countless encyclopedia articles, books and websites, and I've watched more hours of the History Channel than anyone I've ever met. 1 know that I want to have a hand in guiding the progress of my nation and world. My passion for history has only been matched by my love of mental competition. I live for arguments, debates and discussions. The points and counterpoints come out hard and fast. I make my statement and discredit that of my opponent, I respond, I parry, I dodge. I feel content, happy and fulfilled. These two ideas found their way to me on that Friday afternoon, a profession that would combine my two passions: Campaign Management. My love for mental combat would Be used to its fullest in matching wits with the opposing campaign staff, and my passion for history would be more than sated by my involvement in what I consider to be its most interesting aspect: its creation. Through campaign management, I would be indirect ly shaping history. Many of my friends don't know where they want to go to school, they don't talk about where they stand in the class, how good, or bad their scores are. People ask me the same questions, and I face them with confidence, because I know the answer to a larger question: I know where I want to be when I'm done with college. 32.

此题考查听特定动词的能力，解题的关键点在于分析出would后的词必为动词原型。此题考生容易答错，因为对tie，做动词的用法陌生，这里tie意为‘与．．．成平局’tie a 1969 record of the most hurricanes in one term.意为‘与同期的1969年的最大飓风相当’。
Since 1995, the Atlantic has been in a period of higher hurricane activity.
此题考查听单句的能力，解题的关键在于所缺失的句子是第四段的首句，则上一段的尾词losses为所听句子的标志性信号词。在听写的过程中可用简写形式把关键点速记下来，Since 1995，the Atlantic has been in a period of higher hurricane activity意为‘大西洋从1995年起就有周期性的飓风运动’。

Passage One The ways in which societies address environmental issues are in the midst of a pro found transformation. Both the extent of this transformation and its implications for the future of environmental governance are only beginning to be appreciated. Of all the dimensions of environmental governance undergoing rapid change, most attention has been devoted to the growing urgency of the threats that need to be addressed. As argued by United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, these now warrant consideration jointly with the other great global issues of the 21st century: "freedom from want, freedom from fear, and the freedom of future generations to sustain their lives on this plan et. "The first two of these issues reflect the longstanding concerns for poverty alleviation and physical security that framed the UN Charter. The last, as the secretary-general notes, was "not clearly identified in the charter because in 1945, our founders could scarce ly imagine that it would ever be threatened. "Today, that threat is increasingly clear, and our most enlightened political leaders have begun to redefine the priority tasks of governance to include sustainability. A second rapidly changing dimension of environmental governance is the scale over which it needs to operate. The trends toward "globalization' that have entrained so many aspects of our lives in the increasingly interconnected world of the 21st century have affect ed the environment as well. In response, more international environmental treaties were adopted and more international environmental institutions were founded in the last quarter of the 20th century than in the preceding hundred years. A few of these have worked relatively well. In general, however, our capacity for effective implementation lags far behind the recognized need. Finally, the actors and institutions involved in environmental governance are changing. The political transformation of "a closed public policy process into a more open and participatory one" for Southeast Asia, is under way for much of the rest of the world as well, shifting power away from central governments toward local communities and civil society organizations. Simultaneously, the globalization trends noted above have pushed in the other direction, moving power toward multinational corporations and international institutions. In the midst of all these transformations, two things can nonetheless be said with confidence about environmental governance.. Neither its complexity nor its importance has ever been greater.

Passage Two Technology to understand and analyze CVs just as a human would be launched in Europe by recruitment software innovator People Genie. The patented technology has been developed to create 'Smart Genie', which will be fully integrated within the People Genie family of plug-in facilities. Smart Genie can analyze a job specification and by using predictive modeling it can rank CVs in order of their suitability based on over 40 analytical techniques. Additional features also include the ability to match any number of CVs with an ideal job role. Marc Hendrickse, Managing Director of People Genie said: "Smart Genie is a real breakthrough for the recruitment industry." There are some basic programs to read CVs, but by only searching against key words they can easily overlook the best candidates. This cutting edge technology uses artificial intelligence to understand each CV to the extent that it can spot the difference between a skill studied in a course and hands-on experience. "Traditional reading software does not eradicate the need for recruiters to sort through CVs, although they may have been able to eliminate up to half of a batch of 100 CVs by searching for a specific job title. Smart Genie will pioneer the way forward by enabling recruiters to spend more time with a true shortlist of candidates and less time processing ir relevant CVs." To link in with the other People Genie applications, Smart Genie has also been developed to assist with creating job adverts by suggesting all relevant skills for a role. It does this not only by utilising its extensive built-in information library, but also by learning from every CV it reads. The program continuously improves by storing information gathered from CVs collected from all worldwide users enabling it to recognize the most relevant skills required to help attract quality candidates. Smart Genie will completely eliminate the need for recruiters to maintain an up-to-date skills library as it can easily be integrated with an existing database and then continuously up-dates and stores new information. Smart Genie will also help specialist recruiters to di versify by suggesting skills for job adverts and searching CVs in a whole range of industries, offering a powerful advantage over competitors.
1. Which of the following is within the capacity of the technology discussed in the text?
A.Writing resumes.
B.Hiring the appropriate person for a job.
C.Determining which CVs are appropriate for a specific job.
D.Interviewing prospective job candidates.
A B C D
C
属事实细节题。第二段提到，这项技术“可以将任何数量的简历和一个理想的工作角色相匹配。”
2. A problem with previous recruitment software was that.
A.its reliance on key words could eliminate highly qualified candidates
B.it often ignored real job roles
C.it was prohibitively expensive
D.it failed to focus on the key qualities of prospective candidates
Part Ⅴ Cloze Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. A relationship with your customer is like any relationship: It 1 time to earn their trust and moments to 2 it. Customers want the truth, because without it they cannot make 3 decisions. For example, suppose you go out to dinner and the restaurant you choose has people waiting. When you put your name in, the host will tell you how long it is. If the host is doing his job, you will actually wait less than 4 you were told. If you are told the wait is 15 minutes and you are still waiting at the 30-minute mark, are you a happy customer? At one level, it is just 5 . In some cases, it could 6 other plans: If you miss your movie because you were not 7 for dinner, you really are not a happy customer. Unfortunately, many salespeople are 8 to tell the truth. They 9 some in formation, or share partial truths, or just plain lie. They do it in the 10 that customers will buy when they hear 11 they want to hear. It is true that customers want to hear certain things but 12 they are true. Let's go back to the restaurant. 13 the wait is not 15minutes-it is 90 minutes. It is not what we want to hear. Still, we can decide to stay or not to stay. If we do not stay, we will be hack. But if we 14 told 30 minutes and it became 90, that 15 the last time we ate there. Sooner or later, customers al ways find out the truth. If the truth is different than what they have been told, you have lost their trust. Truth is 16 accuracy. It includes a willingness to stand behind what you say. In other words, are you willing to put your money 17 your mouth is? If you are working with others, part of their 18 is that when something goes wrong you will stand with them. If an order is delayed, for example, how will you help them 19 their business commitments? Part of earning their trust is having a backup plan in place should your 20 systems fail.
