I cant get my printer to work Is there another printer I can use around here? M： Yeah Theres one in the supply room， which is between the admins office
12、 and the meeting room F： Thanks Is the room number 2087? M： No， its 2088， 2087 is the admins office， and 2089 is the meeting room 1 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 她在哪里能够找到另一台打印机 ?这道题综合考查对数字组合的敏感度和对信息的分析能力。对话中先后提到了三个房间一办公用品存放室 (the supply room)，管理人员办公室 (the admins office)以及会议室 (the meeting room)。另一台打印机在办公用品存放室中，而这个
13、房间位于管理人员办公室和会议室的中间。但是对话中的女士搞错了房间号，以为打印机在 2087房间。于是对话中男士纠正她正确的房间号应该是 2088， 2087是管理人员办公室， 2089是会议室。另外从办公用品存放室处于另外两个房间的中间也应该能够推断出房间号也应该是处于中间的数字。 2 【听力原文】 M： The manager wants us to work on the data analysis together She sent the data by email Do you want me to copy it to you? F： Well， I dont have a fla
14、sh disk with me M： Should we have her send the email to you then? F： No， I dont want to bother her right now Can you just forward the email to me? M： No problem 2 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 她如何能够获得数据 ?要得到这道题的正确答案，首先需要熟悉对话中提到的几种数据传输方式：发送电子邮件 (send email)，复制 (copy)，转发邮件(forward the email)。经理已将数据通过电子邮件发给了那位男士，于是他
15、问对话中的女士是否需要将数据复制 (copy it to you)一份给她。但是女士回答说她没有带U盘 (flash disk)，于是这位男士又问需不需要经理再给她发一封邮件 (haye her send the mail to you)，这位女士回答不想再麻烦经理了 (dont want to bother her)，提出请这位男士将邮件转发给她 (for-ward the email to me)。因此可以排除干扰项，选出正确的答案 A。 3 【听力原文】 F： Hello， this is Jane from the STAR Company Is it ok if we fax the
16、 information on aftersale service to you M： Thank you， but our fax machine wont be working until around 3： 00 Could you try to send that information at around 3： 30， so that I can have time to look it over before I meet our manager at around 4： 30 3 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 何时传真材料 ?从问题中可以看出此题考查的是精确的时间。对话中的第一
17、位说 话人提出要将售后服务材料通过传真发过来，但是第二位说话人却对传真时间提出了特殊的要求。他提到了三个时间 3： 00， 3： 30和 4： 30，其中两项为干扰项。在听的时候要注意每个时间点相对应的事件。 3： 00传真机才开始工作， 4： 30与经理见面。发传真的时间应该是 3： 30，这样他既能在传真机工作后收到材料，又能有时间在见经理之前先看一遍。 4 【听力原文】 M： Barbara， Id like to review your report on Zinbark Company before we send it F： Sure Do you need a hard copy
18、? M： No Could you just send me the path to the location of the report? Ill look it over on my computer. F： Sure Ill give you permission for the folder You can find it at barbara01 slash Zinbark M： Great Thanks 4 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 他将如何审阅报告 ?第一位讲话人提出要看 Barbara的报告，但是当 Barbara问他是否需要纸介版 (hard copy)的时候，他说不用
19、，所以可以排除答案 A。之后他说只要 Barbara把报告所在的路径告诉他，他即可以在自己的电脑上看。于是 Barbara给他访问文件夹的许可 (give you permission for the folder)，并告诉他文件夹的名称 barbara01/zinbark，于是他就能在自己的电脑上审阅报告了。 5 【听力原文】 F： Jack， This is the third time in the last two weeks M： Sorry， manager， last week， I had a lot of personal problems And today there w
20、as an accident that held up traffic F： Youd better start anticipating all problems because Im not going to tolerate your tardiness any longer 5 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 经理为何对 Jack不满 ?对话的一开始经理就提醒 Jack这已经是他两周以来第三次迟到了。 Jack便开始解释他这几次迟到的原因。上周因为有很多个人问题处理 (personal problems)，今天是因为有事故导致交通拥堵 (an accident that held up
21、 traffic)。最后经理表明态度，再也不会容忍他再次迟到 (not going to tolerate your tardiness any longer)。 tardiness就是迟到、延误的意思。因此不难判断出经理对 Jack的不满源于他时常迟到。 6 【听力原文】 M： Hello Could you check if the Regency Hotel has any rooms? F： Yes， they do And the rate is 200 $per night M： Is there a discount rate if I have a VlP card? F： Y
22、es， there is Its 10% off for cardholders 6 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 这位先生每晚需要支付多少房费 ?这道题需要进行一些简单的计算。饭店的房价 (rate)本来是 200美元 /晚，但是客人说他有贵宾卡是否能够享受折扣价 (discount rate)。饭店的折扣标准是 10%，所以他需要支付的费用是 200-20010%=180美元 /晚。 7 【听力原文】 M： Oh， can I ask you some questions? F： Sure M： Does this company have a casual Friday? F： Not
23、 really You can get away with wearing slacks， but Ive never seen anyone wear jeans M： ThatS all right Thank you 7 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 公司不允许什么样的着装 ?有些公司会对员工的着装作出一定的要求。比较严格的公司要求一律穿正装，有些公司没有那么严格，只要不穿牛仔服即可。还有一些公司星期一至星期四比较严格，星期五则可以休闲一些，所以叫做 (casual Friday)。对话 中的男士就是在询问这家公司的着装要求，星期五可不可以穿得休闲一些。女士回答可以穿休闲的长裤，但是从
24、没有见过穿牛仔裤上班的，言下之意是牛仔裤是不能穿的。因此选择 B。 get away with意为 “过得去；不会受到指责或惩罚 ”。 slacks指的是休闲款的长裤，并非正式套装的裤子。 8 【听力原文】 M： If you have a look at this line chart， you can see that our sales topped 50 million in January. Then in February， it dropped to 30 million， and remained constant until the end of March 8 【正确答案】
25、 A 【试题解析】 哪一幅图表示正确的 ?根据说话人的描述，销售额在 1月份的时候达到最高点 (top)5， 000万， 2月份的时候下跌 (drop)到 3， 000万，并一直持续(remain constant)到 3月底。这道题的关键是理解 top和 remain constant的意思。top作为动词此处意为 “达到最高点 ”，而 remain constant的意思是 “保持恒定，不变 ”。 二、 PART TWO 8 【听力原文】 W: Hello, this is Flora Jennings, the Marketing Manager of Fraser Projector
26、Manufacturing Corporation. M: Hi, Ms. Jennings. This is Michael Markinson, the Sales Manager of S.C.Johnson Son Corporation. W: Oh, Mr. Markinson, you called yesterday.Im sorry I was away at a business meeting yesterday. M: Thats all right. Im calling to talk with you about some business. W: Please

W: But considering the high quality, our price is very reasonable. M: I dont deny that the projector is of top quality.If you could go a little

32、】 M: Hi, Im George Brown. I have been engaged in investment consultation for many years and have successfully helped some corporations in their investment with good returns. Have you ever wanted to invest, but didnt know where to get started? Were here today to present you with three basic guideline
33、s to smart investing for your future. We hope it will be helpful to you.First of all you should have clear goals. It is quite necessary for you to decide how many years you will invest for, and what your needs wilI be in the future. The first step is very important and we may call it strategic plann
34、ing.Once youve made the plan, you come to the second step. That is, you have to understand the range of possibilities. Youll want a diversified portfolio; one with a mix of stocks,mutual funds, bonds, and cash. Its a jungle out there and very complicated. Each of these products has different risks a
35、ssociated with them and also different potential rewards. You should understand them before you buy, and then there wont be any big surprises later. We may call this step a learning one and you have to spend much time on it and make great efforts to study all these things before you understand them
36、well. This is the hard part but quite worth doing. The last point is to have realistic expectations.As our friend Leonardo da Vinci said in the year 1500, “He who wishes to be rich in a day will be hanged in a year. “ Over the past several years, New Yorks stocks have averaged 30% annual returns, hu
37、t dont count on this continuing. While its true that since the year 1900, stocks have averaged an 11%annual return, its roller-coaster ride with many minus years as well, so you have to stay in for the long term-you have to weather the storm-and not be too greedy. 16 【正确答案】 clear goals 【试题解析】 原文信息：

40、on this continuing 四、 PART FOUR 23 【听力原文】 W: Now listen, and mark A, B, or C. Right, lets move on to the targets for 1998 and our medium-term plans. For the AMAT, we expect to reach sales of 250,000-this is roughly the same figure as last year and it may be a little pessimistic, as we are going to d
41、o a large-scale promotion campaign during the year-so perhaps we will achieve something like 300,000. Still I prefer to keep the forecast at 250,000. Now, we come to the BMAT. Here sales should reach 450,000. This could be a little optimistic as we are not going to push this product in 1998. In any
42、case, the total will probably balance out with the more conservative forecast for the AMAT. The CMAT, our most recent product, will continue to do well. Sales may go as high as 600,000. However, I have set the target slightly lower at 550,000. OK, lets turn to our medium-term plans.At the beginning
43、of 1998 we are going to launch our new product-the DMAT-and we are sure sales will take off very quickly. We estimate first year sales at 200,000. The DMAT should initially complement the AMAT and eventually replace it in the nineties. Finally, R D are working hard on a medium range produce-they hope to have it ready by 1999 so we could launch it in 2000. 23 【正确答案】 B 24 【正确答案】 B 25 【正确答案】 C 26 【正确答案】 A 27 【正确答案】 C 28 【正确答案】 A 29 【正确答案】 C 30 【正确答案】 B
