And so I began reading

17、in the terminal. Even after the plane settled into its altitude, I couldn“t put Never Quit down. I continued to read, even forgetting to make a few notes in a margin. The notes were already made. The author has bullet list after bullet list of helpful pointers. But what absorbed me most was the stor

18、y of running a family business. Gray offered personal glimpses of challenges as well as successes. And then held them both up as examples of opportunity for positive growth. This is a business book, yes. However, it is a family business book. There are the real stories of real people. But the real a

19、rt of this book is the encouragement it provides to small business owners to define core principles and when those are challenged, to use those core beliefs to find another method to achieve the desired right results. And so, when a business owner meets with something they believe is beyond their co

20、ntrol, they will redefine success or the ways they might get there. They will never quit.

It makes it seem do-a

22、ble. This book is going to be popular with family business owners everywhere. It is well-written, but more important. It is a good read. I“ve decided to buy a copy for everyone in our sales and service department, and to keep it in my briefcase to refer to again and again.（分数：12.00）(1).The reviewer

Obviously, your talent as an entrepreneur has a lot to do 5 the success of your business, but you 6 only go so far by yourself. You must find good

29、employees, figure out 7 motivates them, and then place them into the right position. Hiring employees is 8 and requires a lot of patience and energy.

Rates are quoted exclusive of Value Added Tax and any other applicable sales taxes.（分数：2.00）A.Value Added Tax is included in sales taxes.B.Sales taxes are included in the rates.C.No taxes are included in the rates. 解析：解析 这是一段有关广告费用的说明文字。“rate”在这里表

35、示“根据某个标准制定的价”，“exclusive of”表示“不包括”。从第二句“Rates are quoted exclusive of Value Added Tax and any other applicable sales taxes.”可知报价单上的报价不包括增值税和其他适用的销售税。因此，A、B 两项均被排除，C 项正确。2.Could we postpone my visit to your office until the week commencing 5 September?（分数：2.00）A.The visit will be delayed until somed

36、ay after September 11th.B.The visit will be made someday from September 5th to September 11th. C.The visit will be cancelled because of a meeting on September 5th.解析：解析 从内容上判断，这是在与对方商量见面的时间，询问对方是否可以把拜访时间推迟到 9 月5 日开始的那一周。“postpone.until”表示“推迟到”。B 项的意思是“这次拜访将会在 9 月 5日到 9 月 11 日中的某一天进行。”A 项的意思是“这次拜访将会推

37、迟到 9 月 11 日之后的某一天。”C 项的意思是“因为 9 月 5 日的会议，这次拜访将会取消。”因此，A、C 两项应排除，B 项正确。3.Mortgage and other financing income decreased $6.6 million to $16.6 for the year ended December 31, 2013. The income in 2013 was reduced（分数：2.00）A.to $6.6 million.B.to $16.6 million. C.from $16.6 million to $6.6 million.解析：解析 “2

38、006 年的收入减少”本题考查对“decrease.”和“decrease to.”的理解。前者表示“减少了”，后者表示“减少到”。从原文可知“到 2006 年 12 月 31 日止，该年的抵押借款和其他收入减少了 880 万美元，为 1880 万美元。”因此，B 项正确。4.Since two speakers are now unable to attend, we shall require only 2 Seminar Rooms instead of the 4 booked.（分数：2.00）A.Now two seminar rooms are enough. B.More se

39、minar rooms will be needed.C.Six seminar rooms have been reserved.解析：解析 原文的意思是“因为有两位发言者不能参加会议，所以我们只需要两间会议室而不是原预定的四间了。”在本题中，考生对“instead of”这一短语的正确理解是解题的关键。A 项正确。5.We are looking for a Principal Economist, who as well as advising managers and board members on environmental economic policy matters, wil

40、l develop policy relating to cost benefit analysis at the upcoming review and beyond.（分数：2.00）A.The Principal Economist will become a board member.B.The Principal Economist will deal with environmental matters.C.The Principal Economist“s major responsibility is to make certain policy. 解析：解析 这是招聘首席经济

43、. Five Signs You“re in the Wrong Job（分数：10.00）(1).John Smith wants to sell his house.（分数：2.00）解析：E解析 “John Smith 想卖掉他的房子。”B、E、C 三篇文章均与房地产有关，但 B 是与买房有关的，而 G 是与土地投资有关的，因为 E 中的“Property”在这里表示“房产”，所以 E 项正确。(2).Robinson Kay is responsible for recruiting new staff.（分数：2.00）解析：C解析 “Robinson Kay 负责招聘新职员。”招聘

44、新职员时，面试当然是必不可少的一个步骤，所以文章 C“如何进行面试?”是 Robinson Kay 应该读的。因此 C 项正确。(3).Thomas Haley is looking for a new job.（分数：2.00）解析：F解析 “Thomas Haley 正在找工作。”此题的干扰项是 H，但这篇文章是“你入错行的五个迹象”，主要针对在职者。而文章 F“诚实是求职者的最佳策略”，显然才是 Thomas Haley 最应该读的文章。(4).Mary Claire would like to start business on the Internet.（分数：2.00）解析：A解析

45、 “Mary Claire 想在网上做生意。”A 文章的题目“建立在线家庭公司两个应避免的错误”，是在网上做生意的人应该了解的内容，所以 A 项正确。(5).Leo Benson is going to buy a house in another country.（分数：2.00）解析：B解析 “Leo Benson 要在别的国家买房子。”选项 G 虽然提到投资，但题目为“土地投资投资者指南”，而 B“在国外置业的注意事项”才是 Leo Benson 应该读的文章。因此 B 项正确。三、PART THREE(总题数：1，分数：10.00)（分数：10.00）(1).In this quart

46、er, the rate of GDP growth, like the unemployment rate, showed a fall, while the inflation rate demonstrated the opposite trend.（分数：2.00）解析：H解析 “这个季度，GDP 的增长率与失业率一样下降了，但通货膨胀率呈相反趋势。”在 A-H 中，GDP 下降的只有 E 和 H，但 E 中的失业率与前一季度是持平的，所以 H 正确。(2).With a slight decline in both unemployment rate and inflation ra

47、te, the GDP growth rate reached its peak in this quarter.（分数：2.00）解析：F解析 “随着失业率和通货膨胀率的微幅下降，GDP 增长率在本季度达到顶峰。”在题目中只要提到某个数据达到顶峰(peak)，那么在 A-H 中应首先锁定该值的最高值所在的选项。以本题为例，直接去找 GDP 达到峰值的选项就可以了，所以我们可以迅速锁定 F 项，而不必再去看其他选项。(3).This quarter saw the lowest point in the inflation rate and the unemployment continued

48、 to fall.（分数：2.00）解析：G解析 “本季度的通货膨胀率达到最低值，同时失业率继续下降。”与前一题类似，只是这里提到的是最低值，所以直接找通货膨胀率的最低值所在的选项就可以了。因此，G 项正确。(4).In this quarter, the inflation rate and the rate of GDP growth showed a rise, while that of the unemployment was just the opposite.（分数：2.00）解析：D解析 “本季度，通货膨胀率和 GDP 增长率呈上升趋势，但失业率刚好相反。”从题目中的第一个条件

49、“the inflation rate and the rate of GDP growth showed a rise”判断，选项 B、C、D 都符合，然后再用第二个条件“that of the unemployment was just the opposite”去排除干扰项。因此，D 项正确。(5).Despite the rise in the unemployment rate and the inflation rate, the rate of GDP growth continued to grow.（分数：2.00）解析：C解析 “尽管失业率和通货膨胀率在增长，但 GDP 的增长率继续增加。”从题目中的第一个条件“the rise in the unemployment and the inflation rate”判断，选项 C 符合，然后再用第二个条件“the rate of GDP growth continued to grow”进一步确认。因此 C 项正确。四、PART FOUR(总题数：1，分数：14.00)Capacity, Safety and EfficiencyTosca built-in ovens offer the greatest
