30、:_ （正确答案：B）解析：解析 13-22Speaker 1M: As a department head, I have to attend all kinds of meetingstoo many really, internally and externally. Within the company, people tend to spend hours making analysis of what has happened at department or company level, most of which you are informed already, and an

31、yway everythings the stereotype of state-owned enterprises so you cant change it! That sounds rather critical, but some meetings are more constructive to some degree, like the one last week. Well, the objective was to tackle what to attempt in the next financial year and decide on who should underta

32、ke which elements. There was fortunately a wealth of discussion from everyonevery harmonious by and large. At the end, however, the Managing Director persisted in going through what wed committed to and checking our understanding of our contributions. It took another half an hour, though I felt this

33、 was worthy of being recreated in future as it could avoid potential mix-ups.Speaker 2F: Last Friday, we made for an autonomous city nearby for a conference which didnt go as smoothly as wed expected unfortunately. But I have to say our aim for the day was to figure out by concerted efforts some mor

34、e desirable conditions on the bid wed put in to develop a large site for them. We didnt exactly take off empty-handed but we accepted tighter deadlines reluctantly than wed like. Anyway, from my viewpoint it was quite an instructive meeting for some of our personnel on what to beware of in future wo

35、rk. I admit that I dont agree with the organizers actually. They kept allowing people to putting forward questions that had nothing to do with the issue in hand and this made us lose focus, even though we kept bringing the discussion back to the main agenda. That really should have been avoided I su

36、ppose.Speaker 3M: A new line manager was appointed in my department and its so scary going to a meeting with him. Well, routinely the board gathers to review remuneration and plan expenditure at the end of the financial year, and its also the period when we have our individual achievements and failu

37、res examined and receive feedback. Im not against this in principle honestly. Its just the way its handled. But at times I make a contrast between my last boss and the new one. My last boss used to arrive out of breath, shuffle through papers, which he was clearly looking at for the first time, and

38、make some vague remarks about my job, without allowing any interventions or explanations. Now, though, the new manager had drawn a comprehensive chart of my sales performance. So the meeting was clear and helpful and I left feeling positive. Thats absolutely the way to continue.Speaker 4F: It was su

39、ch a boring and suffering night. Id been staying at the office all afternoon seeking to make a decision with five other people from the department. It wasnt as easy as expected so we did take time to evaluate the different options. What Im saying is that its pretty tricky to find the right person to

40、 appoint at a position in that you have to consider how the candidate hits it off with the rest of the team and thats particularly critical in a small operation like ours. Anyway, that was what irritates me. I really back up our line manager, but shes not a flawless head. I cant criticize the ground

41、 work she does before meetings or the documents she draws up. Its just that she fails to make up her mind so a couple of people tend to take over. I wouldnt allow that, because it can unbalance a meeting.Speaker 5M: Frankly, Im not enthusiastic about round-the-clock meetings at Head Office. Theres p

42、lenty of matters to talk over so time is extended, even a whole day sometimes, but its difficult to keep concentrating, especially in the afternoon! I struggled to stay focused during the last one though. So I decided that it was the way it had been organizeda host of short sessions which needed act

43、ive participation right after lunch, why the more complex affairs had been discussed fully first thing. I must remember to do that. These meetings where we explore the strengths and weaknesses of possible additions to our range are very important. An added bonus is that we occasionally gain a chance

44、 to observe how junior staff are shaping up, because they sometimes give short presentations on the proposed models. Thats really good practice for them.(2)._（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：A）解析：(3)._（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：H）解析：(4)._（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：E）解析：(5)._（分数：1.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：D）解析：Task TwoRecomme
