Monologue 1
Lolita Villa, a career adviser, is giving a brief introduction to part-time work.
1. It can be less than an 8-hour wok in a fast food chain, a contractual project with
a company, working freelance for a publication, a little business run on the side, or working on a retainer mode for any number of employers.
他可能会是在快餐食品连锁店的少于8小时的工作，和公司签订的合同项目，出版社的自由工作，额外做的小生意，或者是收取定金方式的工作。
1) on the side 正规（工作）之额外的（工作），这里指一项当作非正规职业做的事。
2) retainer 聘用（定）金，以保证继续为雇用者工作，这里指以收取定金的方式工作。
2. In other words, part-time work is any kind of job that doesn’t require you to do the traditional 9-5 work day routine.
换句话说，兼职工作就是不需要你按照传统的每天朝九晚五的工作。
3. In the past, while this kind of work would be called in local tongue as a disturbance and was often frowned upon, it is now more open accepted by people, both employers and
employees alike.
在过去，这种工作以前被认为是一种干扰或者是大家都皱眉的事情，现在被大家，被雇主和员工普遍接受了。
1） be called as 被称为
2） be frowned upon 对---皱眉头，对---不满意
frown on/upon 不赞成、不许可、不同意
My parents always frown on late nights out.
Gambling is frowned upon by some church authorities,
4. This is due to two things: the changing corporate structure makes use of technology that requires more things to be accomplished at a faster rate than employers can hire or afford people to do it, and second, the new workforce culture is encouraging more people to take charge of their careers by going back to school, pursue larger pay checks by increasing their workload, and generally, focus less on company loyalty and more on professional self-development and self-cultivation.
这是由于两种原因：技术的使用使公司结构开始改变，这样需要快速完成一些任务，而这些任务是雇员短期内无法完成的。第二，新的劳动力文化鼓励更多的人们通过重新回到学校学习从而才能更好的进行自己的事业，通过增加自己的工作量提高自己的收入，并且人们已经不太关注对公司是否忠诚而更加关注于专业的自我发展和自我培养。
1）take charge of 控制或掌管某事物，承担某事物的责任
The department was badly organized until she took charge of it.
2) focus on sth 集中精力于某事物
I’m so tired I can’t focus on anything today.

1. You are applying for the vacancy we have for a Marketing Officer Trainee.
你在申请销售管理实习生的空缺。
1）apply for 申请
2）Marketing Officer Trainee 销售管理实习生
2. My reading of the job description suggests that a trainee probably start as an apprentice working closely with a well experienced marketing Officer, learning how to keep records, identify opportunities, and implement schemes and plans and, I suppose, gradually taking on more responsibility and exercising more initiative.
工作的描述是这样的：实习生首先作为学徒在有经验的市场人员手下工作。学习怎样做记录、辨别机会、完成计划。我认为逐渐承担更多的责任和练习形成更多的创新能力。
3. Not on a daily basis.

4. I hope I ’ll hear further from you soon。

Part B
Write an essay of about 120 words entitled “Does TV Make Our society Better or Worse?” List some positive and negative effects of TV.
In modern era when few people can ever escape its influence, TV has a topic of controversy. Is it good or bad for us?
On the one hand, TV entertains us with interesting programs, conveys to us extensive knowledge, and presents to us valuable information. On the other we often find ourselves annoyed by frequent advertisements, confused by poor second-rate programs, and isolated from others by our addition to TV. On the whole, our feeling toward TV is mixed: delight, gratification. appreciation, bewilderment, disapproval, and apprehension.
Nothing is perfect. So is TV. We need to come to terms with its imperfections. What we should do is to utilize it to the full while attempting to minimize its disadvantages.
第一节动词的时态 一、一般现在时： 1、由when、as soon as、the minute、the moment、till、until等引起的时间状语从句，以及由if、unless、provided that等引起的条件状语从句常常用一般现在时态表示将来的动作，而主句则用 一般将来时态。 例：They will go home for winter vocation as soon as they finish their exams. 2、当表示普遍的真理或者众所周知的客观事实，常常用一般现在时态。例：The earth is round. 地球是圆的。 二、一般过去时：区分三个短语的用法： 1、used to do sth：过去常常做某事。 2、be/get used to doing sth：习惯做某事。 3、be used to do sth：被用于做某事。 三、一般将来时： 1、be to+动词原形：表示安排或计划好了的动作。例：The Third-Ring Road is to be open to traffic before National Day. 2、be about to+动词原形：表示即将发生的动作。例：The lecture is about to begin.讲座即将 开始。 3、一些表示动作趋势，如开始、终结，以及一些表示动作方向，如往来的动词，常常用现在进行 时态表示按照安排将于将来发生的事情，这类动词常见的有如：start，go，leave，come，arrive等。例：We are leaving for Beijing tomorrow. 我们明天动身去北京。 四、进行时态： 重点区分when和while引起的时间状语的用法。 When表示时间上的点，在考试中其引导的时间状语从句多翻译为“这时？”，主句多用进行时态；while引导的时间状语从句多翻译为“正当……时”，该从句用进行时态。例：One of the guards was sleeping when the general came in, which made him very angry.

Beijing has extended its ban on operating outdoor barbecues from the city center outward to selected suburbs, according to municipal authorities. A year ago, Beijing banned restaurants from operating outdoor barbecues within the fourth ring road area. And now, the ban has extended to several suburbs, including Mentougou, Fangs- han, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu and Miyun. The barbecue ban was announced to reduce Beijing' s air pollution, as barbecue has long been accused as one of the major contributors to haze. According to Wang Yuesi, a researcher from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Chinese Academy of Sciences, barbecuing can generate a lot of PM 2.5, harmful airborne particles measur- ing less than 2.5 microns in diameter. "Considering the seriousness of the air pollution in Beijing, we have to ban everything that may do harm to our environment!" Wang said. The issue has divided Chinese netizens, as half agreed with the policy while the other half called this grand plan nothing but "empty talk. "

These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are men and women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 30 which men give their leisure. There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 . If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering is not a “team work”. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no :matches”37 “teams”of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 38 , obviously, there is teamwork. A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural 39 that ate stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and 40 qualities. A mountain climber 41 to improve on skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 42 in their early twenties. But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more 44 than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less 45 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

2020年公共英语二级考试听力解题技巧 1.简短对话解题技巧：简短对话，在多数情况下，往往能从录音 材料中找到与选择项相同的部分，但我们更要注意通过对这个对话的 整体理解，准确选择答案。平时在训练中，有意识地增强这方面的训练，特别是对数字类题目的敏感训练、细节信息的短时记忆水平训练 和语句推导水平训练。能有意识的在纸上记录一些信息。解答题目时，先看题目。后在听录音材料中，对题目中出现的解答选项有重点的听 和识别，注意区分开一些干扰内容和选项。 经典例题： M： Excuse me, Mrs. Sharp, can I borrow some money from you? I need them for buying the toy to my son. W： Well, you are a good Daddy. Q： What can we learn from the dialogue? [A] Mrs. Sharp won’t borrow some money to the man. [B] The man isn’t a go od father. [C] The man will buy a toy to his son. 名师精解：考生能够从录音材料中找到与选项相同的部分“buy the toy to my son.”但通过对整个对话的整体理解。我们知道是男 士为了想给儿子买玩具而向这个女士借钱。所以，女士会说“你真是 个好爸爸。”所以答案为[C]。 经典例题： M： The concert begins at 8：30. Let’s hurry. W： We still have 45 minutes. How do we go there? Q：What’s the time now?
