Part ⅢReading Comprehension
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
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. 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. This possibly explains why most of the memorable presentations have been visual in nature.
36、Many speakers believe that the stronger their idea, ______.
A．the more powerful their speech will be
B．the more meaningful their speech will be
C．the more easily the audience will understand it
D．the harder the audience will find it to follow
37、Why are you advised to give fewer points in your presentation?
A．To pass on the messages better.
B．To avoid wasting too much time.
C．To allow audience to take notes.
D．To leave more time for questions.
38、The speaker can help the audience remember the message longer by ______.
A．displaying text-based slides
B．avoiding long technical terms
C．focusing on the width of coverage
D．using simple and powerful diagrams
39、The underlined word "transfer" in this passage most probably means "______".
A．create B．pass on C．take off D．describe
40、This passage is mainly about ______.
A．how to make an effective business presentation
B．how to present strong ideas in a presentation
C．how to focus on the depth of coverage
D．how to prepare a powerful diagram
Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.

[解析] 短文开头，讲话者阐明面试官询问开放式问题的原因，一是想让申请者感到自在，二是想了解申请者是否能够胜任工作。空格前feel为系动词，后面常用形容词作表语，因此空格处应填入表感觉的形容词。结合录音填入comfortable，意为“舒适的”。

Section A
21、C
[考点] 非谓语动词
[解析] 本题考查现在分词作状语的用法。现在分词作状语有两种用法，均与主语构成主谓关系，一种是现在式doing作状语，表示分词动作与谓语动词动作同时发生，另一种是完成式having done作状语，表示分词动作先于谓语动词动作发生。题目中的空格所在部分表达的动作先于谓语动词动作的发生，因此空格处为complete的完成式形式Having completed，故C为本题的答案。
A．Completed是动词过去式，故排除；B．completing是现在式作状语，但不能表达出两个动作的先后关系，故排除；D．To have completed是不定式，可作目的状语，不符合题干逻辑关系，故排除。
22、D
[考点] 固定搭配
[解析] 由题干中women与second-hand smoke的关系可知，suffering ______应表示“遭受……”之意。suffer from“遭受”符合题意，因此D为本题的答案。
动词suffer在作不及物动词时，一般只与介词from搭配，故A、B、C均可排除。
23、A
[考点] 让步状语从句
[解析] 本题考查句子关系和让步状语从句，首先应该确定句子之间的关系。分析句子结构并结合句意可知，______ challenging they may be为让步状语从句。空格后的challenging是形容词，意为“具有挑战性的”，能够与形容词搭配构成让步状语从句的只能是however，故A为本题的答案。
B、C、D三项均不符合句子逻辑关系，因此可以排除。
24、D
[考点] 倒装句
[解析] 本题考查的是倒装句的结构。当only位于句首时，句子要倒装，结构为“only+从句/时间状语+助动词+(主句)主语+谓语”。句中描述的是过去发生的事情，因此助动词应使用did，故D为本题的答案。
A、C没有倒装，均可排除；B虽然结构为倒装句，但是has done表示完成时，和题干中的时态不符，可以排除。
25、B
[考点] 虚拟条件句
[解析] 本题考查的是虚拟条件句的结构。由If引导的从句中的had worked可知，这是对过去发生的事情的假设，故主句应用“would+have+动词过去分词”结构，故B为本题的答案。
A、C没用过去时态，无法构成虚拟条件句；D虽然使用过去完成式，但是与从句中的时态不符，可以排除。
26、D
[考点] 定语从句
[解析] 本题考查定语从句的引导词。确定定语从句引导词的关键是看该词在从句中作什么成分。一般说来，that，which和who作主语或宾语，whom只可作宾语，whose作定语，when和where作状语。分析句子结构可知，从句中缺少的是主语，而先行词the exhibition指的是物，故应选用表示物的关系代词that或者which，但又因该定语从句前有一个逗号，故断定该句为非限制性定语从句，引导词只能用which，因此D为本题的答案。
在定语从句中，that可以作主语或宾语，先行词通常为物，who可以作主语或宾语且先行词是人。空格处填入引导词作主语，先行词为物，且非限定性修饰，故A、B均可排除。C．what一般引导名词性从句，不能引导定语从句，可以排除。
27、C
[考点] 固定结构
[解析] 本题考查neither...nor...的固定用法。从句中出现了连词neither，表示“既不……”，四个选项中能和neither搭配的只有nor，代入题干，构成一个并列关系，意为“既不……也不……”，因此C为本题的答案。
选项A．or一般与either搭配，且意义上与原句不符，可以排除；B．and一般与both搭配，无法与neither搭配，可以排除；D．but也无法与neither搭配，故可排除。
28、B
[考点] 让步状语从句
[解析] 本题考查句子关系和让步状语从句。考生应该先确定句子之间的关系。根据常识，从句与主句working...benefits构成转折关系，这就要求前面的从句要有让步转折的意思。在选项中只有While可以引导让步状语从句，相当于Although，意为“尽管……，即使……”，和题干表达的意思相符，故B 为本题的答案。
四个选项中，Unless引导条件状语从句，As引导原因或方式状语从句，Since引导时间或原因状语从句，均不符合句子逻辑关系，故排除。
29、B
[考点] 固定搭配
[解析] 本题考查固定搭配。四个选项中能和impact搭配的有of和on。have an impact of构成一个动词短语，意为“有……的影响”；have an impact on表示“对……有影响”。根据题干意思，B为本题的答案。
名词impact只能与介词on搭配才表示“对……有影响”之意，故A、C、D均可排除。
30、A
[考点] 名词性从句
[解析] 本题考查句子关系和名词性从句。首先应该确定句子之间的关系。分析句子成分可知，______ impressed me most about the school这个从句是句子的主语，且______在主语从句中作主语。在选项中只有What可以作主语从句的主语，故A为本题的答案。
四个选项中，That在主语从句中不作任何成分，This放在题干中不符合语法要求，Which引导定语从句作修饰成分，不能作主语，故B、C、D均可排除。
Section B
31、cooperation
[考点] 词形转换
[解析] 逗号前的部分在句子中作目的状语，空格需要填的词作介词of的宾语，由形容词long-term来修饰。一般说来，形容词修饰名词，名词能作宾语，故空格处应填入cooperate的名词形式cooperation。
32、valuable
[考点] 词形转换
[解析] 本题考查单词的修饰关系。一般说来，形容词修饰名词，副词修饰动词、形容词、副词和句子。空格后有名词resources，空格前有谓语动词find，故空格处应使用形容词来修饰名词resources。所以，空格处应填入value对应的形容词形式valuable。
33、more efficient
[考点] 形容词比较级
[解析] 由空格后的than可知，空格处应用形容词比较级形式，故空格处应填入efficient的比较级形式
more efficient。
34、be sent
[考点] 被动语态
[解析] 题干中的主句是主谓结构，由主语Quotations and samples和send的逻辑关系判断，主句应为被动语态，故空格处应填入send对应的被动形式be sent。
35、receiving
[考点] 介宾结构
[解析] 分析句子成分可知，After ______ your loan from us作状语。根据you和loan之间的逻辑关系可知，receive应用现在分词形式，故空格处应填入receiving。

[解析] 细节推断题。根据题干中的关键词Many speakers和the stronger their idea定位到文章第一段第一句。定位句指出，在进行商务演讲时，很多演讲者都认为如果他们的观点具有说服力，那么听众就会欣然接受。因此可以确定C“观众就会更加容易理解他们的观点”为本题的答案。
文章第一段第二句指出，当听众不能明白他们的演讲时，他们会很沮丧，这说明即使他们的观点有说服力，听众也可能理解不了，可以排除A“他们的演讲将会更震撼人心”；文章没有提及B“他们的演讲将会更具有意义”，可以排除；文章中没有提及D“听众发现更难以理解他们的观点”，可以排除。
37、A
[解析] 事实细节题。根据题干中的关键词fewer points和presentation定位到文章第二段第三句。定位句提到，在一个有效的商务演讲中，要点越少，信息越容易被传达。pass on意为“传递，传达”，因此可以确定A“更好地传达信息”为本题的答案。

38、D
[解析] 事实细节题。根据题干中的关键词remember the message longer定位到文章第二段第五句。定位句指出，你需要使自己的想法具有视觉冲击力，并且切题，这样你所要传达的信息就会被听众更好地理解，同时听众记得也更长久。注意句中连接词so表示因果关系，so前面的内容表示原因，后面连接的是结果。第六句接着指出，让演讲者的想法具有视觉冲击力的方法就是使用简单、有效的图表，故D“使用简单、有效的图表”为本题的答案。
第二段第六句明确提到，使演讲者的想法具有视觉冲击力的方法就是使用简单、有效的图表，而非以文本为基础的幻灯片，可以排除A“展示以文本为基础的幻灯片”；文中未提及B“避免使用长的专业术语”，可以排除；第二段第四句指出，演讲者应侧重内容的深度而非广度，选项C“侧重内容的广度”与原文表述不符，可以排除。
39、B
[解析] 语义理解题。根据题干中的关键词transfer定位到文章第二段倒数第三句。定位句前一句指出，当你对一个观点不确定的时候，就不能绘制一个图表，由此可推断定位句的意思为：当你的观点很确定时，就更容易传达它。由此可以确定B“传递，传达”为本题的答案。
A“创造”、C“脱下”和D“描绘”均与原文内容不符，可以排除。
40、A
[解析] 主旨大意题。本题考查文章的主旨大意，需要理解整篇文章的大意。文章第一段提出问题，指出很多技术专家的专业演讲不能达到预期效果；第二段解决问题，阐述有效商务演讲的必备要素。由此确定A为本题的答案。
B“如何在演讲中表述有说服力的观点”、C“如何侧重内容的深度”和D“如何准备一个令人印象深刻的图表”均不能概括文章大意，可以排除。
Task 2
41、A
[解析] 事实细节题。根据题干中的关键词first started its business和题文同序原则定位到文章第一段第二句。定位句指出，Blue Jeans服装公司最早开始于Elena家的地下室，那时他们将牛仔裤卖给朋友们。文中使用了it began这样的表达，说明最开始的情况，由此可以确定A“把产品卖给朋友们”为本题的答案。
B“在网上商店做生意”，第一段第三句提到，现在的Blue Jeans服装公司拥有网上商店，该选项和题干的要求不符，可以排除；C“将牛仔裤出口到亚洲国家”与原文表述不符，可以排除；D“向当地的工厂提供原材料”，这项文中没有提及，因此可以排除。
42、C
[解析] 语义理解题。根据题干中的关键词organic cotton定位到文章第三段第一句。定位句指出，我们从两个供应商处获得最优质的organic cotton，供应商的organic cotton在生产的过程中没有使用任何的化学物质。因此可以确定C“生产过程中没有使用化学物质”为本题的答案。
A“自动生产出的”和B“在当地生长的”，文章没有提及，因此都可以排除；D“从国外进口的”，文章中提到，他们的organic cotton均是国外供应商供货，但这并不是其优质的原因，优质是因为生产过程中没有使用化学物质，故可排除。
43、C
[解析] 事实细节题。根据题干中的关键词ensure product quality定位到文章第三段倒数第二句。定位句指出，我们与合作伙伴密切协作，通过定期的核查来确保质量。由此可见，定期核查是Blue Jeans服装公司保证产品质量的途径，因此可以确定C“定期检验公司的产品”为本题的答案。

44、B
[解析] 细节推断题。根据题干中的关键词The company's products和ship out定位到文章第三段第二句和第四句。根据定位句可知，Blue Jeans服装公司的原材料一运到美国就会被送往他们在洛杉矶的生产伙伴和运输伙伴那里，同时那里也是他们的产品运出地。该题考查对第四句中where引导的从句的理解。where引导的从句作修饰成分，修饰第二句中的Los Angeles。因此确定B“洛杉矶”为本题的答案。
A“纽约”，在文章中没有提及，可以排除；C“土耳其”和D“日本”为Blue Jeans服装公司原料供应商的所在地，与题干不符，可以排除。
45、D
[解析] 细节推断题。根据题干中的关键词in the future定位到文章最后一段最后一句。定位句指出，我们在那里处理所有的退款要求，将来还要在那里启动牛仔裤回收项目。这表明该公司在将来致力于环保回收事业。D中的Carry out是对定位句中launch的同义转述，因此可以确定D“进行牛仔裤回收项目”为本题的答案。
A“将产品打入国际市场”、B“全部进行网络销售”和C“在纽约建立新公司”在文章中都没有提及，可以排除。
Task 3
46、a free account

Part ⅣTranslation
61、C
[解析] 本题的关键在于弄清楚句子的主要结构。句子的主干是It has been found...，It作形式主语，has been found作谓语。宾语从句that some people devote...中的that they develop...是结果状语从句，表示“有些人全身心倾注于事业的成功”导致的结果是“养成了不健康的饮食习惯”。
A错译so...that...；多译“之所以”；漏译devote to；漏译so fully；漏译unhealthy；错译eating habits；多译“密不可分”。B错译their business success；漏译so fully；多译“忽略了”；错译unhealthy。
62、B
[解析] 本题的关键在于正确把握句子结构和run的意思。本句为强调句型，It是形式主语，句子真正的主语为not how much data...but the value of the data collected。you collect和collected作后置定语修饰data，run your business作宾语补足语。run可译为“经营，运营”，另外应注意data译为“数据”。
A错译how much；多译“重要的是”；漏译run the business；漏译the value；多译“实际意义”。C错译
强调句型；错将not how much译为“还不多”；多译“维持”；漏译help；多译“更多”；错将the value of the data译为“有意义的数据”，错将run the business译为“正常运行”。
63、A
[解析] 本题的关键在于正确理解句子结构。句子的主干为Failure...may result in...。Failure to arrive on time for the appointment为名词性短语，作句子的主语，may result in作谓语，the test being canceled和loss of the test fees作宾语，其中being canceled为宾语补足语。另外，主语中出现动词不定式作定语，being canceled使用了被动语态，翻译时应注意措辞。
B多译“由于”和“考场”；错将may译为“就会”；漏译result in；错将loss of the test fees译为“考试费用将会退还”。C多译“尽管”；错将Failure to arrive on time for the appointment译为“你已报名参加考试”；多译“但未支付”；多译“所以不能参加考试”；漏译result in。
64、A
[解析] 本题的关键在于正确把握句子结构和逻辑关系。句子的主干为This manual contains operating procedures...。of the most frequently used basic functions作定语，修饰宾语；allowing意为“允许，使得”，allowing the machine to immediately be used作结果状语。另外，需注意名词operating procedures意为“操作程序”。
B多译“主要教你学会”；漏译contains；错译procedures；漏译functions；多译“独立操作”，漏译immediately。C错将contains译为“告诉”；多译“最”；错将functions译为“要领”；将allowing the machine to immediately be used这一词组的主语译错。

1．第一句中，submit...to...意为“向……递交……”，注意宾语a paper的翻译，可译为“论文”。
2．第二句中，take place意为“发生”，此处译为“举行，举办”。注意如何翻译大会举行的时间、地点：先译时间后译地点，符合汉语的表达模式。
3．第三句中，将deadline for submission译为“论文提交的最后期限”。
4．第四句中，为了文章的连贯性和衔接性，which引导的非限制性定语从句可直接译为“与您所研究的领域密切相关”。

高等学校英语应用能力考试A级考试大纲 总述 我国高等职业教育、普通高等专科教育和成人高等教育的教学目标是培养高级应用性人才，其英语教学应贯彻"实用为主，够用为度"的方针；既要培养学生具备必要的英语语言基础知识，也应强调培养学生运用英语进行有关涉外业务工作的能力。高等学校英语应用能力考试就是为了检验高职高专学生是否达到所规定的教学要求而设置的考试。本考试以《高职高专教育英语课程教学基本要求（试行）》（简称《基本要求》）为依据，既测试语言知识也测试语言技能，既测试一般性语言内容也测试与涉外业务有关的应用性内容。 考虑到目前我国高职高专学生英语入学水平的现状，《基本要求》将教学要求分为A级要求和B级要求，本考试也相对应的分为A级考试和B级考试。修完《基本要求》规定的全部内容的学生可参加A级考试；修完《基本要求》B级规定的全部内容的学生可参加B级考试。 考试方式为笔试，测试语言知识和读、听、译、写四种技能。口试正在规划之中，待时机成熟时实施。客观性试题有信度较高、覆盖面广的优点，而主观性试题有利于提高测试的效度，能更好的检测考生运用语言的能力，为此本考试采用主客观题混合题型，以保证良好的信度和效度。 本考试按百分制计分，满分为100分。60分及60分以上为及格；85分及85分以上为优秀。考试成绩合格者发给"高等学校英语应用能力考试"相应级别的合格证书。 高等学校英语应用能力考试大纲（A级） 一、考试对象 本大纲适用于修完《基本要求》所规定的全部内容的高等职业教育、普通高等专科教育、成人高等教育和本科办二级技术学院各非英语专业的学生。 二、考试性质 本考试的目的是考核考生的语言知识、语言技能和使用英语处理有关一般业务和涉外交际的基本能力，其性质是教学---水平考试。
英语应用能力Ａ、Ｂ级考试翻译题型探析 [摘要]本文从高职高专学生英语应用能力考试的考核目标出发,对传统翻译题型和A、B级翻译题型的利弊进行了分析,并测评了A、B级翻译题型的教与学效果。在实践中,笔者对不同层次的教学对象采用了灵活多样的翻译题型。通过尝试和比较,提出了在语境完整的一段英文中,抽取其中几个典型句子作为英译汉最具挑战性,更能达到考核学生综合能力和提高学生灵活运用能力的目的。 [关键词]A、B级考试翻译效果实践能力 一、前言 全国高等学校英语应用能力考试(PRETCO)简称英语应用能力考试,分为A、B两个级别,能力要求相当于大学英语三级水平,B级为高职高专学生应达到的最低标准要求,B级标准略低于A级,是过渡性要求。A、B级考试根据我国高职院校英语教学的实际和发展的需要,贯彻“实用为主,够用为度”的方针,在同一基础上设置两个级别的考试,既考查学生必备的英语语言基础知识,也测试与涉外业务有关的内容。由于A、B级注重基础的语法结构和应用能力,在难易程度和词汇量等方面有别于本科院校的四、六考试,因此,激发了学生学习英语的兴趣和主动性。 从2000年英语等级考试制度改革后的A、B级考试情况和平常的教学效果来看,笔者认为翻译题型存在一定的束缚性,值得商讨。虽然出题形式改变,但教与学效果不理想,有待于我们总结分析,找出一种更好的题型来测评和提高学生的运用能力。 二、翻译题型分析 翻译题型的变化从一个侧面体现出随着语言测试的发展,更加突出了对考生应用能力的检测。语言测试和评估的发展总趋势,在语言理论上将从重形式转向重语言运用;从测试个别技能转向测试多项技能;从孤立测试语言技能转向几种技能混合测试;从客观题一统天下转向主观题大量增加,语言测试更加以人为本(人性化)。 1.传统翻译题型
