People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. Butpeople used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were convenient to carry around if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The First paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today. Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.36. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?A.

The History of MoneyTask 2You got red with anger, green with envy, and white with fright. If you’re unhappy you’re blue, and if you’re a coward (胆小鬼), you’re yellow. Whatever your feelings are you can find a color to describe them.But colors not only describe feelings, they can also have a strong effect upon us. Everybody has noticed how you feel colder in a blue room than a red room even though the rooms are the same temperature. So colors can affect our moods.And it is also possible that our own choice of a favorite colorcan tell us something about ourselves. If green is your favorite color, you are strong-minded and determined. You do not wish to change, but you certainly wish to succeed and what’s more, you want other people to see you are successful. Red makes bulls charge and makes your blood pressure go up. You are fiercely competitive, very strong-minded and full of energy. If you choose blue, the color of calm seas and clear skies, you like peace and quiet and like to feel you belong to a group of trusted friends. Purple is a mixture of red and blue, and is a compromise between peaceful blue and aggressive red. You are romantic and tender and wish to charm and please others.41. If you are overcome with fear, __.A. you are redB. you are yellowC. you are blackD. you are green42.

The title of the passage may probably be __.A. Your FavoriteColorsB. Your Like and Dislike of ColorsC. Colors and YouD. Choose a Color for YouTask 3There are stock markets (股票市场) in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or company.Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich.Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling (赌博). All ar e eager to make money by “gambling’ in the stock market. Factories and companies that need moneyare pleased that so many people are willing to “gamble”. Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.46.

Factories and companies are pleased that so many people “gamble”because_______.A. they can make them richB. they need their money to do businessC. they need more people to work for themD. some people win and some lose50.

收集你的薪水调查信息,你所做工作的业绩评估,以及其它的相关信息。
另外,还要注意公司的关于工资的政策。
首先,要清楚地知道自己想要什么。
决定你期望的薪水范围和加薪的正当理由,准备这两项的资料给你的上司审查。
同时,也可以灵活一些,你愿意考虑增加几周的假期来替代加薪吗?我知道有人已经定期休假来替代加薪,现在年休六周。
其次,向你的上司请求进行一次面谈来讨论你的薪水问题。
向他提出你的要求,加以佐证材料,同时还要保持冷静和理性的头脑。
不要要求上司马上答复你。
因为你的老板很有可能要与人力资源部门或者与公司其他的负责人来讨论这个问题。
尽管你尽了最大的努力,但还是可能因为预算里没有足够的钱来增加你的薪水。
或许你的公司可能认为支付同岗不同酬的薪水会造成不公平。
在这种情况下,你至少知道自己已经尝试过了。
另外,如果你真的认为自己会爱上这个工作,那就认真考虑除了薪水之外,公司的文化、福利以及这个职位本身是否值得自己去付出。

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide which is the correct answer.Passage 1Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that givethem hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds — even thousands —of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counter-clock wise motion.The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods.36. When is an ordinary tropical storm called a hurricane?A) When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas.B) When it hits the coastline.C) When it is more than 75 miles wide.D) When its winds reach 75 miles per hour.37. What is the worst thing about hurricanes?A) The destructive effects of hurricanes.B) The heat they release.C) That they last about nine days on the average.D) Their strong winds.38. The counter-clock wise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by ________.A) the low-pressure area in center of the stormB) the force of waves of waterC) the trade windsD) the increasing heat39. Apparently the word "downpour" means ________.A) heavy rainfallB) dangerous wavesC) the progress of water to the hurricane centerD) the energy produced by the hurricane40. How long is the average life of a hurricane?A) 19 days.B) 22 days.C) 9 days.D) 10 days.Passage 2Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all could work at any time of day? Now several shops are experimenting with a more flexible work timetable for their employees. It seems to be successful.Both late sleepers and early risers find the fixed hours of a nine-to-five work day a problem. Now there is an answer that seems to please them both. Employers of over 500 shops, organizations and government agencies in the United States are arranging their work hours so that they can satisfy the employees' needs. It's called "flexible time" and it means, for example, the employees can start working at any time during the first three hours their office is open and leave after completing their required daily working time, which is usually eight hours. Early risers can begin work at seven a.m., finish at three p.m. and still have their daylight time for shopping, picking up children at school, or enjoying themselves with various kinds of games. Later sleepers need not report for work until 10 a.m. — but they must stay on their job until six in the evening.An American bank official says, "Our employees like the system. Lateness has been almost got rid of. Fewer people are absent and productivity and morale have risen."41. In what way do workers who either enjoy sleeping late or rising early react to a flexible work hourtimetable?A) Happily.B) Angrily.C) Sadly.D) Suddenly.42. When can workers start working?A) From eight a.m. to eleven a.m.B) From seven a.m. to ten a.m.C) From nine a.m. to five p.m.D) From ten a.m. to three p.m.43. The usual American workday timetable is ________.A) five hoursB) six hoursC) seven hoursD) eight hours44. What is one of the benefits of the flexible work timetable?A) Time passes by more quickly.B) There is more time for meals.C) All employees work hard during the work hours.D) Hardly anyone is ever late for work.45. What is the earliest possible time someone can get out of work on eight-hour timetable?A) Ten a.m.B) Eleven a.m.C) Three p.m.D) Five p.m.Section BDirections: Read the following passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it. You should write your answers briefly in no more than 3 words.ColourLife is colorful. But Chinese and Americans are quite different in treating colors. A Chinese bride wears red to wedding ceremony. Red is the symbol of luck in China. When they wear white to funerals, white is regarded as the symbol of heritage of filial(孝顺的) duty. No Americans think there's something to do with red and luck. But Americans wear black to funerals and might be offended by a Chinese wearing white. An American bride will wear white when they get married, Americans consider white as the symbol of purity and innocence.No Free LunchWhen Americans eat out, they often calculate each person's share of the bill down to the last penny.By contrast, in China one person is likely to pick up the entire bill. It doesn't necessarily mean that Chinese are more generous. Chinese stress mutually beneficial relationships and know that the next time someone else will pay: What goes around comes around.Family SizeIf allowed, Chinese would have as many children as possible, whereas Americans prefer only one or two — or even none. In fact, many avoid children altogether, counting upon their career or pension to act as a surrogate for the love of children and grandchildren. Some Americans avoid even marriage, and some Americans who do marry get divorced, largely because of the privacy of individual freedom over social and marital responsibility.Section CDirections: The following is a list of items in English. After reading it, you are required to find the Chinese equivalents in the table below. Then you should put the corresponding letters in the brackets.A — Drive onto the PavementB — Head-on CollisionC — a Chain CollisionD — Hit-run DriverE — Without Third-party InsuranceF — Slippery When WetG — Steep HillH — Double Bend RoadI — Road JunctionJ — Excessive SpeedK — BlockedL — Keep in Line; No OverheadM — Restricted WaitingN — Parking On-streetO — Caution Pedestrian CrossingP — OverwhelmQ — Committing Traffic OffencesR — Endorsed on Driving LicenseExamples:(A)冲上人行道, (F)潮湿路滑Section DDirections: Read the following passage.

When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin.Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco(烟草) if you are under 16 years of age.I’d like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.Now, are there any questions?41.

C) A teacher. D) A lawyer.Passage TwoQuestions 46 to 49 are based on the following passage.As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever fo rm, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “fight or flight” and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can’t remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.46. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because___________.A) they regard working as their greatest enjoymentB) they believe that work is superior to relaxationC) they are traveling fast all the timeD) they are becoming busier with their work than even before47. According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _________.A) unyielding will to hold out stressB) knowing the art of relaxationC) high sense of responsibilityD) having control over performance48. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?A) We can find quite a few ways to avoid stressB) Stress is always harmful to people’s healthC) It’s easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with workD) Different people can bear different amount of stress49. In the last sentence of passage, “do so” refers to “_________”.A) expose ourselves to stressB) find ways to deal with stressC) remove stress from our livesD) establish links between diseases and stressPassage ThreeQuestions 50 to 53 are based on the following passage.More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (诈骗) the most confidential(保密)records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.50. It can be concluded from the passage that _______________.A) it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB) people commit computer crimes at the request of their companyC) computer criminals escape punishment because they can’t be detectedD) computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions51. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A) A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B) Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation.C) Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D) Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.52. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A) With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B) They may walk away and easily find another job.C) They will be denied access to confidential records.D) They must leave the country to go to jail.53. The passage is mainly about _________________.A) why computer criminals are often able to escape punishmentB) why computer crimes are difficult to detect by systematic inspectionsC) how computer criminals mange to get good recommendations from their former employersD) why computer crimes can’t be eliminate dSection B Short Answer Questions (4 points, 1 point each)Directions: Read the following two business letters.

They just continued to modify their strategies until they found what worked. They did not quit. 60) They knew what they wanted and they did not give up until they achieved their goal. When Thomas Edison was attempting to discover the light bulb he was not met with much support from the scientific community. 61) As a matter of fact, they thought he was crazy to try to invent something that was clearly impossible. A young reporter interviewed Edison and asked him, “Mr. Edison, how can you continue to try to invent the light bulb when you have failed over 5 000 times.”To which Thomas Edison replied, “Young man, I have not failed 5 000 times. I have successfully discovered 5 000 ways that do not work and I do not need to try them again.”62) This is a great way to interpret failure—as a learning experience.试卷二Section B ( 10 points)Directions: Complete the sentences numbered 63 to 68 by translating into English the Chinese given in brackets.
