First of all, thank you for inviting me to talk about our electronic meetings system. Ive got a handout to give you at the end. But please feel free to make notes. S
12、o, what is E-Meeting Access? Well, quite simply, it enables you to conduct meetings either face-to-face or remotely using networked computers. Now, youre probably wondering “whats the point of using computers“? Well, the point is that unlike traditional meetings, everyone gets the chance to contribu
13、te because they communicate through the keyboard. This means people can communicate openly with no fear of criticism. And believe me, that can make a big, big difference. So what are the key advantages of E-Meeting Access? Well, first of all, there is simultaneous input, meaning that everyone “talks
14、“ at once although electronically, of course. This produces lots of contributions as the process draws on the creative energy of the whole team not just individuals. Also, because ideas are submitted anonymously, people are free to “think the unthinkable“. Now this may not sound like much, but belie
15、ve me, its a fantastic way of promoting innovation within your company. It also means that all ideas are the property of the team which is a great boost to team spirit. And each suggestion is evaluated on merit and not on feelings towards the person who came up with it. Imagine that. A meeting witho
16、ut any personal politics. With E-Meeting Access, ideas belong to the group. This means they are analysed objectively without personal feelings interfering with the way they are developed or rejected. Thus ideas are pro-cessed far more quickly than in traditional meetings. And with everyone getting i
17、nvolved at the same level, there is no domination of the proceedings by one or two strong characters. Whats more, because the meetings conducted on computers, everything is automatically recorded so theres no need for a secretary to take notes or minutes. But of course, the real beauty of the system
18、 is that you dont need to be in the same place or even the same country to hold the meeting! So, how does it work? Well, lets look at some of the key features of E-Meeting Access. First of all, theres the DrawingPad, which makes drawings produced during the meeting available to everyone else in the
19、group. Pen passing and free-for-all drawings are also supported. Next we have FileShare, with this function, the distribution of documents among the team couldnt be easier. Whether its a spreadsheet, report or graphic image, just drag it into the FileShare window and its accessible to the team. Thir
20、dly, Consensus gives instant feedback on suggestions by using one of three voting methods. Theres the 10 Point Scale, Yes/No, and Agree/Disagree. Once more, all votes are anonymous so honesty is guaranteed. And finally, theres Briefcase, which lets you access your favourite applications during the m
21、eeting. If you want to use things like your calculator, your calendar or notepad, simply drag them into the Briefcase and they will be available whenever you need them. Right, Id now like to demonstrate just how the system works. 1 【正确答案】 networked computers 【试题解析】 问题中， “hold electronic meetings on”
22、中的 on可以理解成 “关于 ”或“在 上 ”。这句话的主语是将要介绍的产品名称 EMeeting Access，所以这句话可以理解成 “EMeeting Access系统能使你在 开网络会议 ”。听录音时，我们听到 it enables you toconduct meetings either face toface or remotely using networked computers( 它使你能够利用联网的计算机召开面对面的或远程会议 )。 enables与问题中 allows同义。所以答案是 networked computers(联网的计算机 )。 2 【正确答案】 fear
23、of criticism 【试题解析】 这句话的意思是 “使用电脑让人们能够自由地发表意见而不用 ” 。根据逻辑推理，人们发表意见时不需要顾忌的事情。在录音中我们听到This means people can communicate openly with no fear of criticism。 (这意味着人们可以畅所欲言而无需害怕受指责。 )， communicate openly与问题中 express ideas freely同义。所以答案应该是 fear of criticism(害怕受指责 )。 3 【正确答案】 creative energy 【试题解析】 这句话的意思是 “该
24、系统通过利用整个小组的 形成更多的想法 ”。在录音中我们听到 This produces lots of contributions as the process draws on the creative energy of thewhole team (系统过程靠整个团队的创造性能量产生出大量想法。 )draws on与问题中 using同义，所以答案应该是 creative energy(创造性能量 )。 4 【正确答案】 innovation 【试题解析】 这句话的意思是 “该系统通过为提建议人保密身份来鼓励 ” 。在录音中我们听到 because ideas are submitte
25、d anonymously， people are free to“think the unthinkable” its afantastic way of promoting innovation (由于想法是匿名递交，人们尽可以自由想像 “不可想像 ”的想法 这种提倡创新的方式真是好极了 )。 anonymously与问题中 keeping the proposersidentity secret同义，所以答案应该是 innovation(创新 )。 5 【正确答案】 on merit 【试题解析】 问题中 rather than后面是 attitude，应该理解为 judge的态度，所以
26、 rather than前面的词应与 attitude对称，也是用于修饰 judge的。这句话的意思应是 “每个想法或建议都是根据 而不是对建议者本人的态度进行评判 ”。在录音中我们听到 each suggestion is evaluated on merit and not on feelings towards the person(每项建议都是根据其优点而不是对建议者本人的好恶感进行评判 )。evaluated与问题中 judged同义。所以答案应该是 on merit(优点 )。 6 【正确答案】 analysed objectively 【试题解析】 在问题原句中没有谓语，所填人的
27、成分是谓语动词，但应是被动语态形式。在预览 “ideas are allowing them to be processed more quickly”时，可以分析出这些 ideas首先需要 然后得以快速处理。在录音中我们听到 This means they are analysed objective-ly Thus ideas are processed far more quickly (这意味着它们得到客观分析。 这样处理起它们 就快得多 )。Belong to the group与问题中 team ownership同义。所以答案应该是 ana-lysed objectively(客
28、观分析 )。 7 【正确答案】 no domination 【试题解析】 这句话的意思是 “平等的说话机会意味着由个别人 会议 ”。在录音中我们听到 with everyone getting involved at the same level， there is no domination of the proceedings byone or two strong characters (由于每个人都处于同一水平，会议不会被一两个厉害角色所控制 )。 proceedings(会议议项 )常借指会议，与问题中 meeting同义。所以答案应该是 no domina-tion(没有控制权 )
29、。 8 【正确答案】 secretary 【试题解析】 这句话的意思是 “自动记录意味着不需要 ” 。在录音中我们听到 because themeetings conducted on computers， everything is automatically recorded so theres no need for asecretary to take notes or minutes (由于会议在电脑上举行，一切都自动记录下来，无需秘书作会议记录 )。 automatically recorded与问题中 automatic documentation同义。而且后文中我们还听到 th
30、e real beauty of the system(这个系统的真正绝妙之处 )中的 beauty意为 “妙处 ”(what makesthe thing so good)。所以答案应该是 secretary(秘书 )。 9 【正确答案】 drawings 【试题解析】 这句话的意思是 “DrawingPad功能意味着小组全体成员都可 ” 。在录音中我们听到 makes drawings produced during the meeting available to everyone else in the group(在会议中能够让小组全体成员都可看到所使用的图表 )。 availabl
31、e to与问题中 accessible to同义。所以答案应该是 drawings(图表 )。 10 【 正确答案】 distribution of documents 【试题解析】 这句话的意思是 “FileShare功能使小组成员内部能够 ” 。在录音中我们听到 With this function， the distribution of documents among the team couldnt be easier (有了这个功能，在小组成员内部分发文件易如反掌。 )“could not或 couldnt加比较级 ”的句型可用来强调肯定，表示 “再 不过了 ”。 couldnt
32、be easier意为 “再容易不过了 ”，问题中 allowfor有 “容许 ” 意思，两句意思相近。所以答案应该是 distribution of documents(分发文件 )。 11 【正确答案】 voting methods 【试题解析】 这句话的意思是 “Consensus功能提供三个可行的 ，用来表明观点 ”。在录音中我们听到 Consensus gives instant feedback on suggestions by using one of three votingmethods (Consensus功能对选用三种投票方法的其中一种提出的建议即时给予反馈 )。 fe
33、edback on suggestions与 indicating opinions同义，而 using one of three voting methods也即问题中的 three possible 。所以答案应该是 voting methods(投票方法 )。 12 【正确答案】 favorite applications 【试题解析】 这句话的意思是 “Briefcase功能可以使你在会议上使用 ” 。在录音中我们听到 Briefcase lets you access your favorite applications during the meeting (Briefcase功能
34、可让你在会议期间进入自己喜欢的应用软件 )。 let you access与 allow you to use同义。所以答案应该是 favorite applications(喜欢的应用软件 )。 二、 PART TWO 12 【听力原文】 PART TWO Well, I guess on the whole it was quite interesting talking about setting and meeting objectives and coordinating projects. Its just that Id hoped wed learn more practica
35、l things like how to motivate groups and manage conflict and make group communication more effective. Anyway, I was pretty tired by the end of the day and got in quite late because the centre was a long way from home. But that in itself wasnt really a problem. I think one day would have been more th
36、an enough. I didnt really understand why they needed two whole days. It wasnt that expensive though, so Im hoping Ill be allowed to go on another course soon. There are some good writing skills courses around, I believe. I feel a lot more confident now having done the course. The trainer gave us som
37、e really great tips on preparing more effectively. And I also got to see myself on video. There I was talking about our latest product when most of the time I was standing in front of the screen so no one in the audience could see my nice OHTs anyway. We certainly didnt have any complaints about the
38、 price even though it was pretty expensive. But I cant understand why they held it in Newcastle. It took me half the day to get there and I was exhausted before the course even started. We really should have found somewhere closer to the office. I had a great time. We did lots of role-plays, mainly
39、about delegating or dealing with interruptions, which I really enjoyed. And I think it must have done me some good. Even my boss has noticed that Im getting better at prioritising my workload. And this week I managed to get my report in before the deadline for a change. There must have been about tw
40、enty of us by the time all the late-comers had arrived; which was about right for the group dynamics. The only thing that Id change would be the refreshments. Youd have thought they could have provided more than just a salad for lunch, wouldnt you? It wasnt even particularly fresh either. Originally
41、, Id wanted to do the effective negotiations course. But my boss told me this course would be more useful. You know what Im like. Even when I dont want to do something, I end up saying yes. Even now I still find it difficult to say “no“, but at least this course has made me more confident about tryi
42、ng to stick up for myself. We covered a lot of stuff. But of course you cant expect the trainer to do everything in just six sessions, can you? So we had to miss some really interesting topics. I was a bit disappointed, for example, that we didnt do anything on body language. The programme itself lo
43、oked really interesting, which is why I went for this course rather than the assertiveness training one. And I guess we did have a few useful topics like writing minutes and preparing agendas. And we started looking at roles, especially the role of the chairperson. But all in all, it was really disa
44、ppointing and so chaotic. We never really knew what we were supposed to be doing. But then the tutor didnt seem to know either. She kept taking calls on her mobile during the sessions and I wouldnt be surprised if it was someone phoning her, to tell her what to do next! Good job it didnt cost too mu
45、ch. Otherwise wed have been asking the center for our money back. 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 关键信息： “Its just that Id hoped wedlearn more practical things like how to motivate groups and manage conflict and makegroup communication more effective。 ”此课程内容涉到激励团队、控制冲突和团队更有效地交流等方面的技巧，可见是关于团队领导技能的课程。 14 【正确答案】 B 【
46、试题解析】 关键信 息： “tips on preparing moreeffectively And I also got to see myself onvideo ”可见是表演技巧课程。 15 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 关键信息： “mainly about delegating ordeal ing with interruptions， ”“Even my bosshas noticed that Im getting better at priori-tizing my workload ”可以看出，说 话者参加的是如何管理时间的课程。 16 【正确答案】 E 【试题解析】
47、关键信息：从 “the course has made memore confident about trying to stick up formyself ”及作者以前不知道如何拒绝，可知是训练决断能力的课程，而且作者本想参加 “negotiation course”，但他的老板说这一课程更有效，可见说话者没有参加 “ne-gotiations”而是参加了 “assertiveness skills(决断能力 )”课程。 17 【正确答案】 G 【试题解析】 关键信息：开始就有 “I went for thiscourse rather than the assertiveness tra
48、ining one”可见不选 E，而且说到学的内容有 “writing minutes(会议记录技巧 )， preparingagendas(议程安排 )”等，说明此课程是关于会议技巧方面的课程。 18 【正确答案】 N 【试题解析】 关键信息： “I think one day would havebeen more than enough I didnt really un-derstand why they needed two whole days ”可见他觉得课程时间太长了。 19 【正确答案】 K 【试题解析】 关键信息： “It took me half the day to getthere and I was exhausted before the courseeven started ”花半天的时间到那里，上课前就已经筋疲力尽了，可见上课地点太远了。 20 【正确答案】 J 【试题解析】 关键信息： “Youd have thought theycould have provided more than just a saladfor lunch， wouldnt you?It wasnt even particularly fresh either ”仅仅给一份沙拉当午饭，更糟的是不新鲜，可见他对食物不满意。 21 【正确答案】 L 【试题解析】 关键信
