Reading Comprehension
(40 minutes)
Directions:
This part is to
test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for
you to fulfill. You
should read the
reading materials carefully and do the tasks as
you are instructed.
Task 1
Jack 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 2000.
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
的
)
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.

Task 2
Directions:
This
task
is
the
same
as
Task
1.
The
5
questions
or
unfinished
statements
are
numbered 41 to 45.
From: Linda Smith
To: Clarice Ryan
Subject: Report on
Employees
’
Use of Time
Clarice, 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.

、
B
Question
What is the man doing?
【解析】
推断题。问题询问
“
男士正在做什么
?”
本题看似细节题，但涉及的内容不少。
首先对话开头提到了女士要求男士把行李打开，<
/p>
发现男士的行李有一把小刀，
于是女士说
“
小
刀不能带上飞机
”
。从这些内容可以推断男士正在机场进行安全检查，因此本题答案应为选
项
B
。
选项
A(
正在选购小刀
)
里的
knife
和选项
C(
正在找他的行李
)
里的
luggage
都在对话中有
提及
，而选项
D(
正在订机票
)
里的
flight
与对话的关系也很密切，如果光
凭对话中的只言片
语去做选择的话，很可能误选干扰项。

、

Question
Why does the man want to keep the
knife?
【解析】

”<
/p>
，他
“
想把小刀留作纪念
”
，由此可知本题应选
D
项。
本题稍具干扰项的是选项
A(
小刀是送给兄弟的一份礼物
)
，该选项中的
gift
在对话中也
< br>有提到，但选项中的
brother
这一点信息却是无中
生有的。选项
B(

)
和选项
C(

)
均未在对话中提及。
