For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.In giving a business presentation, many speakers think that if their idea is strong, their audience will get it readily. They feel discouraged when the audience is unable to understand their presentations. That happens a lot especially when technical experts are invited to make a product presentation to a group of users.What can we do to make a business presentation easier to understand? In my view, good presentations have always been simple and visual. In an effective business presentation, the fewer the points, the better the message gets passed on. You focus on the depth of coverage instead of the width(广度) of coverage. Additionally, you make your ideas visual and relevant, so the message is understood better and remembered longer. Great business presenters relate their ideas and concepts to their audience by using simple, powerful diagrams instead of relying on text-based slides. In fact, drawing diagrams forces a presenter to make the idea clear even at the preparation stage. It is impossible to draw a diagram when you are not clear about an idea. When your idea is clear, it is easier to transfer it. Most audiences understand a diagram faster and remember it longer.

In the new economy, the role of the leader is to express a vision, and put it into practice. That calls for open, caring relations with every employee, and face-to-face communication. People who can’t convincingly(有说服力地) express a vision won’t be successful. But those who can will become even more open—because success builds up self-confidence. “Welch believed that great business leaders have to:• possess large amounts of energy, and• know how to use that energy to motivate others.Welch moves from meeting to meeting, conveying that message--and many more others as well, some of which have become his trademarks:• Business is simple. • Don’t make it complicated.• Face reality. • Don’t be afraid of change.• Use the brains of your workers.A. they are seldom advertised online Or in newspapersB. they may require that you live in a certain placeC. you are always asked to work full-timeD. you need to have a college degree36.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.From: Linda SmithTo: Clarice RyanSubject: Report on Employees’ Use of TimeClarice, I agree that waste of work time is a serious issue. The Human Resources Department recently surveyed the employees. They are wasting nearly two hours per day.Here are my ideas to reduce this waste. First we need to agree on what are the most important behaviors to stop. For example, look at activity No. 1 in the table below. Many people are doing this; however, it is the most difficult to stop. I recommend that we focus on activities No. 2, 4, and 5.Making phone calls shows the largest difference between men and women. Womendo this much more than men. We should ask all employees to limit these calls. They should return non-urgent messages at their lunch break.For No. 4, we should focus on the younger age group. We will tell them that we are going to check their work accounts for personal messages. For No. 5, we can ask managers to watch this more carefully. Perhaps activity No. 3 should continue. This allows employees to know each other and it can increase their motivation. The managers will know if someone is spending too much time talking and not enough time working.Are you available tomorrow? I’d like to meet with you to discuss our next step. Time Spent on Non-work-related Activities* Percentage (%) of employees who do this three times per week or more.41.

Why does the writer suggest that activity No. 3 should continue?A. It can help employees increase motivation.B. It can held managers to check on the work accounts.C.

He has been with the General Electric Company (GE) since 1960. Having taken GE with a market value of about $12 billion, Jack Welch turned it into one of thelargest and most admired companies in the world, with a market value of about $500 billion, when he stepped down as its CEO 20 years later, in .As Jack Welch wrote in a letter to shareholders: “In the old culture, managers got their power from secret knowledge: profit margins, market share, and all that... In the new economy, the role of the leader is to express a vision, and put it into practice. That calls for open, caring relations with every employee, and face-to-face communication. People who can’t convincingly (有说服力) express a vision won’t be successful. But those who can will become even more open——because success builds up self-confidence.”Welch believed that great business leaders have to:· possess large amounts of energy, and· know how to use that energy to motivate others. Welch moves from meeting to meeting, conveying that message—and many more others as well, some of which have become his trademarks:· Business is simple.· Don’t make it complicated.· Face reality.· Don’t be afraid of change.· Use the brains of your workers.36.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.From: Linda SmithTo: Clarice RyanSubject: Report on Employees’ Use of TimeClarice, I agree that waste of work time is a serious issue. The Human Resources Department recently surveyed the employees. They are wasting nearly two hours per day.Here are my ideas to reduce this waste. First we need to agree on what are the Most important behaviors to stop. For example, look at activity No.1 in the table below. Many people are doing this; however, it is the most difficult to stop. I recommend that we focus on activities No. 2, 4, and 5.Making phone calls shows the largest difference between men and women. Women do this much more than men. We should ask all employees to limit these calls. They should return non-urgent messages at their lunch break.For No. 4, we should focus on the younger age group. We will tell them that we are going to check their work accounts for personal messages. For No. 5, we can ask managers to watch this more carefully. Perhaps activity No. 3 should continue. This allows employees to know each other and it can increase their motivation. The managers will know if someone is spending too much time talking and not enough time working.Are you available tomorrow? I’d like to meet with you to discuss our next step.41.

You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture(折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation (感觉), we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.36. The human body has developed a system of nerves that enables us to ______.A. stay relaxedB. avoid painC. stand tortureD. feel pain37.

There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Jack Welch is among the famous CEOs because his management style is taught at business schools throughout the country. He has been with the General Electric Company (GE) since 1960. Having taken GE with a market value of about $12 billion, Jack Welch turned it into one of the largest and most admired companies in the world, with a market value of about $500 billion, when he stepped down as its CEO 20 years later, in .As Jack Welch wrote in a letter to shareholders: “In the old culture, managers got their power from secret knowledge: profit margins, market share, and all that... In the new economy, the role of the leader is to express a vision, and put it into practice. That calls for open, caring relations with every employee, and face-to-face communication. People who can’t convincingly (有说服力) express a vision won’t be successful. But those who can will become even more open——because success builds up self-confidence.”Welch believed that great business leaders have to:· possess large amounts of energy, and· know how to use that energy to motivate others. Welch moves from meeting to meeting, conveying that message—and many more others as well, some of which have become his trademarks:· Business is simple.· Don’t make it complicated.· Face reality.· Don’t be afraid of chang e.· Use the brains of your workers.36. According to the first paragraph, Jack Welch, as a CEO, is famous for his ______.A. technical knowledgeB. overseas experienceC. family backgroundD. management style37. When Jack Welch took charge of the company, it had a market Value of about ____.A. $12 billionB. $20 billionC. $500 billionD. $ billion38. According to Jack Welch, the relations between the employer and employees should be ______.A. personal and friendlyB. casual and naturalC. open and caringD. strict and formal39. In the sentence "... some of which have become his trademarks", the word "trademarks" means ______.A. product brandsB. speaking mannerC. advertising strategyD. special characteristics40. This passage is mainly about ______.A. relations between the employer and employeesB. Jack Welch’s view of business managementC. development history of GE companyD. courses taught in business schoolsTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements arenumbered 41 to 45.From: Linda SmithTo: Clarice RyanSubject: Report on Employees’ Use of TimeClarice, I agree that waste of work time is a serious issue. The Human Resources Department recently surveyed the employees. They are wasting nearly two hours per day.Here are my ideas to reduce this waste. First we need to agree on what are the Most important behaviors to stop. For example, look at activity No.1 in the table below. Many people are doing this; however, it is the most difficult to stop. I recommend that we focus on activities No. 2, 4, and 5.Making phone calls shows the largest difference between men and women. Women do this much more than men. We should ask all employees to limit these calls. They should return non-urgent messages at their lunch break.For No. 4, we should focus on the younger age group. We will tell them that we are going to check their work accounts for personal messages. For No. 5, we can ask managers to watch this more carefully. Perhaps activity No. 3 should continue. This allows employees to know each other and it can increase their motivation. The managers will know if someone is spending too much time talking and not enough time working.Are you available tomorrow? I’d like to meet with you to discuss our next step.41. What problem does the writer find from the survey by the Human Resources Department?A. Working conditions are to be improved.B. Some employees need re-training.C. Employees lack motivation.D.

Why does the writer suggest that activity No.3 should continue?A. It can help employees increase motivation.B. It can help managers to check on the work accounts.C.

At bedtime we untie them and take them wherever we’re chosen to sleep.On most spacecraft flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spacecraft; the craft’s computers call us on the radio.On the spacecraft, sleep-time doesn’t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minutes, then it “set” as the spacecraft takes us around the dark side of the Earth. T o keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut(宇航员) sleep differently: some sleepupside down, some sideways, and so me right side up. When it’s time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask and my tape player with earphones and float(漂浮) up to the flight deck(驾驶舱) . Then I get into the bag, and float in a sitting position just above a seat, right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by under me.36.When the astronauts are working, sleeping bags are fastened_________.A)on the wallB)to their seatsC)onto the flight deckD)anywhere they like37.Why can all the astronauts sleep at the same time?A)They have to follow the same timetableB)The radio will take care of the aircraft for themC)There are enough sleeping bags in the spacecraftD)There is no need for them to watch over the spacecraft38.To relax himself before sleep, the writer often_______A)makes a bedB)gets into his bagC)listens to musicD)wears a sleep mask39.How long does it take the spacecraft TO GO ROUND THE earth?A)Forty minutesB)Fifty minutesC)Ninety minutesD)Twenty-four hours40.The best title for this passing is_________A)raveling in SpaceB)B)Sleeping in the SpacecraftC)Equipment Used by AstronautsD)The Earth Seen form Outer SpaceTask 2Whenever traveling on Shanghai Airlines(SAL) flights with paid tickets, you will earn air miles according to the class shown on your tickets.
