36、解析：解析 本题询问这则通知提供了哪些信息。根据第一段第一、三句话可知这篇文章是关于申请参观白宫需要注意的问题。C 项中的 application for a tour 与文中的 requesting a tour 同义，可判断C 项为正确答案。 虽然第一段提到了 A 项中的 scheduling( 排)一词，但根据下文的内容，文章说的并不是旅行团的路线安排。而 B 项的 security system(安全体系)在文中没有提及。D 项的 a tour group leader(旅行团领队)只是在倒数第二段和第三段提到，不能概括全篇通知的内容。(2).The White House is op
37、en to the public _.（分数：4.00）A.on weekdays onlyB.every other day C.five days a weekD.on weekends only解析：解析 题目中的 open to the public 意为“对公众开放(时间)”，故定位到第三个分点。该分点谈到，参观时间为周二到周六上午 7:30 至 11:30，换句话说，一周开放五天。因此选 B 项。 工作日一般为周一至周五，而周六不属于工作日，因此可以排除 A 项。weekend 一般指周六和周日，但是周日显然不能参观白宫，而周二至周五的工作日时间也可以参观，因此可排除 D 项。C
38、项意为“每隔一天”，而原文中的 Tuesday through Saturday 表明时间是连续的，因此不选。(3).Application for a group tour of the White House must be submitted _.（分数：4.00）A.exactly on the date of applicationB.any day between Tuesday and Saturday C.at least 30 days in advanceD.10 days before the date of the tour解析：解析 根据题目中的 must be su
39、bmitted 定位第二个分点。该分点清楚说明，申请必须至少提前一个月(a minimum of one month“s advance notice)交，即至少 30 天。所以 B 项是正确的。 文中没有谈到申请必须在当天(exactly on the date.)提交，不难排除 A 项。C 项是参观白宫的时间，D 项是公布是否批准参观的时间，两者都不是提交申请的时间。(4).After your tour request has been confirmed, _.（分数：4.00）A.it is still possible that your tour may be cancelled
40、 B.you are still allowed to change your visiting dateC.you can surely visit the White House that dayD.it is necessary for you to start your tour immediately解析：解析 根据题目中的 tour request has been confirmed 定位第二个分点。该分点最后一句谈到，所有参观活动，包括已经确认批准的(have been confirmed)，都可能由于安全问题而被取消(cancellation)。A 项中的 may be ca
41、ncelled 对应文中的 are subject to cancellation，是正确答案。 B 项中的 are still allowed to change，C 项 surely visit 和 D 项的 start.immediately 都没有在文章中提及。文章只谈到了即便被批准的游览团也有可能被取消，只有 A 项符合。(5).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：4.00）A.teenagers under 14 are not allowed to visit the White HouseB.foreigners are
42、 less likely to be permitted to tour the White HouseC.separate tours can also be scheduled for individual visitorsD.security is the chief concern in scheduling White House tours 解析：解析 本题询问文中的隐性信息。根据第一段第三句“鉴于安全问题和安排程序，您在提出参观申请时应当了解一些情况”和第二分点第三句“所有参观活动(包括已经确认批准的)都会由于安全问题而被取消”，判断 D 项的表述是正确的。 文中只是说 14 岁
43、或 14 岁以上人员需要身份证参观白宫，未说 14 岁以下孩童不能参观，因而 A 项不正确。文中说组团旅游成员要提交一系列身份证明(身份证上的姓名、出生日期、社会安全号码、国籍以及公民身份)，没提到外国游客不允许参观，排除 B 项。文章开头明确说明 10 人或 10 人以上组团才可以申请参观，C 项也是不正确的。三、Task 2(总题数：1，分数：20.00)Everybody has an opinion about telecommuting (远程办公). “It won“t work in most jobs“, “It costs too much“, “It reduces air
44、 pollution“, “It helps people balance family and work responsibilities“, and “Most people are doing it“. In reality, researchers continue to find strong growth and acceptance of telecommuting. Nearly two-thirds of the top 1,000 companies in the world have a telecommuting program, and 92 percent say
45、it reduces cost and improves worker productivity (生产力). The days of everyone commuting to the office five days a week are quickly disappearing. Telecommuting involves a non-traditional work arrangement enabling workers to work at home or elsewhere, some or all of the time. This is not a new, novel,
46、or untested way of working. But is it for you? Telecommuting is not a panacea (万能). Whether you are a manager, or a HR (Human Resources) specialist, there are decisions to make and actions to take before you begin a telecommuting arrangement.

47、nswers, information, and resources to develop and carry out a successful telecommuting arrangement. Each meeting offers you an informative presentation followed by the opportunity for a discussion with a panel of “experts“ who have made telecommuting work for them.（分数：20.00）(1).How do people look at
48、 telecommuting according to the first paragraph?（分数：4.00）A.They are against it.B.They share the same view.C.They don“t care about it.D.They differ in their opinions. 解析：解析 根据题目要求定位到第一段。该段第一句提供的信息“对于远程办公，似乎人人都有话要说(Everyone has an opinion)”以及第二句引号内的各种观点，可推知 D 项为正确答案。 A 项的 against 和 B 项的 don“t care abo
49、ut 在文章中找不到依据。而 C 项的 share the same view 和文中第一句的含义相悖。考试时经常将两个相反选项放在一起，如 C 项和 D 项，给考生设置障碍。这种情况下，一般可排除其余两项后再做取舍。(2).According to the response of most of the top 1,000 companies, telecommuting _.（分数：4.00）A.increases worker productivity B.can not be accepted by the publicC.will disappear in the near futureD.is practiced in all the top companies解析：解析 根据题目中的 top 1,000 companies 定位到第二段第二句。该句说明，差不多 2/3 的 1000强企业都有远程办公的方案，而且 92%认为该方案会有助于降低成本(reduces cost)和提高员工的效率(improves work
