12、e your _ in the meeting.(分数:12.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:networked computers)解析:听力原文 1-12Good morning. First of all, thank you for inviting me to talk about our electronic meetings system. Ive got a handout to give you at the end. But please feel free to make notes.So, what is E-Meeting Access? Well, quite s
13、imply, it enables you to conduct meetings either face-to-face or remotely using networked computers. Now, youre probably wondering “whats the point of using computers“? Well, the point is that unlike traditional meetings, everyone gets the chance to contribute because they communicate through the ke
14、yboard. This means people can communicate openly with no fear of criticism. And believe me, that can make a big, big difference.So what are the key advantages of E-Meeting Access? Well, first of all, there is simultaneous input, meaning that everyone “talks“ at oncealthough electronically, of course
15、. This produces lots of contributions as the process draws on the creative energy of the whole teamnot just individuals. Also, because ideas are submitted anonymously, people are free to “think the unthinkable“. Now this may not sound like much, but believe me, its a fantastic way of promoting innov
16、ation within your company. It also means that all ideas are the property of the teamwhich is a great boost to team spirit. And each suggestion is evaluated on merit and not on feelings towards the person who came up with it. Imagine that. A meeting without any personal politics.With E-Meeting Access
17、, ideas belong to the group. This means they are analysed objectively without personal feelings interfering with the way they are developed or rejected. Thus ideas are processed far more quickly than in traditional meetings. And with everyone getting involved at the same level, there is no dominatio
18、n of the proceedings by one or two strong characters. Whats more, because the meetings conducted on computers, everything is automatically recorded so theres no need for a secretary to take notes or minutes. But of course, the real beauty of the system is that you dont need to be in the same placeor
19、 even the same countryto hold the meeting!So, how does it work? Well, lets look at some of the key features of E-Meeting Access. First of all, theres the DrawingPad, which makes drawings produced during the meeting available to everyone else in the group. Pen passing and free-for-all drawings are al
20、so supported. Next we have FileShare, with this function, the distribution of documents among the team couldnt be easier. Whether its a spreadsheet, report or graphic image, just drag it into the FileShare window and its accessible to the team. Thirdly, Consensus gives instant feedback on suggestion
21、s by using one of three voting methods. Theres the 10 Point Scale, Yes/No, and Agree/Disagree. Once more, all votes are anonymous so honesty is guaranteed. And finally, theres Briefcase, which lets you access your favourite applications during the meeting. If you want to use things like your calcula
22、tor, your calendar or notepad, simply drag them into the Briefcase and they will be available whenever you need them.Right, Id now like to demonstrate just how the system works.问题中,“hold electronic meetings on”中的 on 可以理解成“关于”或“在上”。这句话的主语是将要介绍的产品名称 E-Meeting Access,所以这句话可以理解成“E-Meeting Access 系统能使你在开
23、网络会议”。听录音时,我们听到.it enables you to conduct meetings either face-to-face or remotely using networked computers(它使你能够利用联网的计算机召开面对面的或远程会议)。enables 与问题中 allows 同义。所以答案是 networked computers(联网的计算机)。填空项 1:_ (正确答案:fear of criticism)解析:这句话的意思是“使用电脑让人们能够自由地发表意见而不用”。根据逻辑推理,人们发表意见时不需要顾忌的事情。在录音中我们听到 This means p
24、eople can communicate openly with no fear of criticism。(这意味着人们可以畅所欲言而无需害怕受指责。),communicate openly 与问题中express ideas freely 同义。所以答案应该是 fear of criticism(害怕受指责)。填空项 1:_ (正确答案:creative energy)解析:这句话的意思是“该系统通过利用整个小组的形成更多的想法”。在录音中我们听到 This produces lots of contributions as the process draws on the creati
25、ve energy of the whole team(系统过程靠整个团队的创造性能量产生出大量想法。)draws on 与问题中 using 同义,所以答案应该是 creative energy(创造性能量)。填空项 1:_ (正确答案:innovation)解析:这句话的意思是“该系统通过为提建议人保密身份来鼓励”。在录音中我们听到.because ideas are submitted anonymously,people are free to“think the unthinkable”.its a fantastic way of promoting innovation(由于想法
26、是匿名递交,人们尽可以自由想像“不可想像”的想法这种提倡创新的方式真是好极了)。anonymously 与问题中 keeping the proposers identity secret 同义,所以答案应该是 innovation(创新)。填空项 1:_ (正确答案:on merit)解析:问题中 rather than 后面是 attitude,应该理解为 judge 的态度,所以 rather than 前面的词应与 attitude 对称,也是用于修饰 judge 的。这句话的意思应是“每个想法或建议都是根据而不是对建议者本人的态度进行评判”。在录音中我们听到.each suggest
27、ion is evaluated on merit and not on feelings towards the person(每项建议都是根据其优点而不是对建议者本人的好恶感进行评判)。evaluated 与问题中 judged 同义。所以答案应该是 on merit(优点)。填空项 1:_ (正确答案:analysed objectively)解析:在问题原句中没有谓语,所填入的成分是谓语动词,但应是被动语态形式。在预览“ideas are _ allowing them to be processed more quickly”时,可以分析出这些 ideas 首先需要然后得以快速处理。
28、在录音中我们听到 This means they are analysed objectively.Thus ideas are processed far more quickly.(这意味着它们得到客观分析。这样处理起它们就快得多)。Belong to the group 与问题中 team ownership 同义。所以答案应该是 analysed objectively(客观分析)。填空项 1:_ (正确答案:no domination)解析:这句话的意思是“平等的说话机会意味着由个别人会议”。在录音中我们听到.with everyone getting involved at the
29、 same level, there is no domination of the proceedings by one or two strong characters(由于每个人都处于同一水平,会议不会被一两个厉害角色所控制)。proceedings(会议议项)常借指会议;与问题中 meeting 同义。所以答案应该是 no domination(没有控制权)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:secretary)解析:这句话的意思是“自动记录意味着不需要”。在录音中我们听到.because the meetings conducted on computers, everything is a
30、utomatically recorded so theres no need for a secretary to take notes or minutes(由于会议在电脑上举行,一切都自动记录下来,无需秘书作会议记录)。automatically recorded 与问题中 automatic documentation 同义。而且后文中我们还听到the real beauty of the system(这个系统的真正绝妙之处)中的 beauty 意为“妙处”(what makes the thing so good)。所以答案应该是 secretary(秘书)。填空项 1:_ (正确
31、答案:drawings)解析:这句话的意思是“DrawingPad 功能意味着小组全体成员都可”。在录音中我们听到.makes drawings produced during the meeting available to everyone else in the group(在会议中能够让小组全体成员都可看到所使用的图表)。available to 与问题中 accessible to 同义。所以答案应该是drawings(图表)。填空项 1:_ (正确答案:distribution of documents)解析:这句话的意思是“FileShare 功能使小组成员内部能够”。在录音中我
32、们听到 With this function,the distribution of documents among the team couldnt be easier.(有了这个功能,在小组成员内部分发文件易如反掌。)“could not 或 couldnt 加比较级”的句型可用来强调肯定,表示“再不过了”。couldnt be easier 意为“再容易不过了”,问题中 allow for 有“容许”意思,两句意思相近。所以答案应该是 distribution of documents(分发文件)。填空项 1:_ (正确答案:voting methods)解析:这句话的意思是“Conse
33、nsus 功能提供三个可行的,用来表明观点”。在录音中我们听到.Consensus gives instant feedback on suggestions by using one of three voting methods.(Consensus 功能对选用三种投票方法的其中一种提出的建议即时给予反馈)。feed-back on suggestions 与 indicating opinions 同义,而 using one of three voting methods 也即问题中的three possible.。所以答案应该是 voting methods(投票方法)。填空项 1:
34、_ (正确答案:favorite applications)解析:这句话的意思是“Briefcase 功能可以使你在会议上使用”。在录音中我们听到.Briefcaselets you access your favorite applications during the meeting(Briefcase 功能可让你在会议期间进入自己喜欢的应用软件)。let you access 与 allow you to use 同义。所以答案应该是 favorite applications(喜欢的应用软件)。三、PART TWO(总题数:1,分数:10.00)(1)._(分数:1.00)填空项 1:
35、_ (正确答案:G)解析:听力原文 13-22Speaker 1Im quite well organised really so I have no problems dealing with things like credit notes and invoices. What I do find stressful, though, is having to deal with people when they ring up and complain about damaged goods or a late delivery. Were only a small company, y
36、ou know, so its up to me and my colleague to sort things out. Although, having said that, my colleague isnt actually that big a help at all. She spends most of her day gossiping to friends, so people can only get through to my extension. Its no good trying to interrupt her either. She just shrugs he
37、r shoulders and carries on. Its very irritating, you know.Speaker 2My new colleagues really nice. She worked in Despatch up until about three months ago, so shes already familiar with all the forms and things we use here at the company. Ive started her off on some basic procedures, like paying salar
38、ies and dealing with credit control, which means that I can concentrate on preparing for next months audit. Shes doing quite well actuallywell, when she finally makes it into the Office, that is. Its almost 20 past by the time she gets in. and even later if she goes to the canteen to get something t
39、o eat first. I think she just goes there for a good gossip with her friends from Despatch, myself.Speaker 3Well, I sometimes struggle to keep my cool with the Sales Department always on at us to get things moving more quickly. Were busy enough as it is, what with planning and organising operations,
40、scheduling projects and dealing with plant maintenance. It doesnt help having to share such a small space with my boss. Well, we get on all right even though hes quite a tidy person and I tend to leave the place in a bit of a mess. But what really does annoy me is the amount of time I have to spend
41、unjamming the printer or the photocopier after hes been using it. I just find it so inconsiderate of him to leave me to deal with it all the time.Speaker 4Im used to keeping records of prices and ordering office supplies, of course, but I never realised there would be so much to the job. I mean, whe
42、n I think back to the interview, the Personnel Manager didnt mention half the things Im now doing, Ive never had to actually select the suppliers myself before. Its a real balancing act, getting the right product at the right price. But my colleagues given me lots of useful information. In fact, the
43、re isnt much he hasnt told me. We took a break together on my first day here and he didnt waste any time telling me all about everyone in the office. It makes me wonder now what hes saying behind my back.Speaker 5Its been a real nightmare lately. Were busy enough at the best of times. And now weve l
44、ost our admin assistant, its even worse. Ive been up to my neck in paperwork, going through contract details with the Legal Department and checking CVs and references. You know, Ive interviewed 40 applicants this week already for one of our vacancies and its only Wednesday today. My colleague seems
45、to take everything in his stride, though. If hes not standing next to the fax machine chatting to someone from the Purchasing Department, hes outside my window smoking. Look, there he is, lighting up again. I cant believe it. Thats his sixth one this morning. Honestly, its a wonder he gets any work
46、done at all.“客户服务部”。听录音内容中的关键短语 ring up and complain about damaged goods or a late delivery(打电话投诉产品损坏或者交货不及时)。这些都是客户服务部的职责,由此可断定 G 为正确答案。(2)._(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:A)解析:“会计部”。听录音内容中的关键短语 paying salary and dealing with credit control(发工资及处理信贷管理)和 preparing for next months audit(为下个月的审计做准备)指的都是会计部的业务,所以答案是 A。(3)._(分数:1.00)填空项 1:_ (正确答案:E)解析:“生产部”。听录音内容中的 Were busy enough as it is, what with planning and organising operations, scheduling projects and dealing with plant maintenance(我们相当的忙,因为要计划并组织生产,制定项目计划以及进行设备维护),其中的短语 planning
