His secretary requested a 10% salary raise. The problem was that 10% was a large raise compared to the 5% other employees had received. Was ther

2、e a win-win (雙贏) way out of this problem? As they looked at the possibilities, several ideas appeared. The company starts work at 8 am and closes at 5 pm. The manager learned that his secretary got caught in heavy traffic every evening on the way home. They agreed to have her work from 7:30 am to 4:

3、30 pm. This saved her at least 20-25 minutes driving time, a benefit to her at little or no loss to the company. They then studied her job in detail. Before long they jointly developed a new idea which gave her more responsibilities, and, at the same time, more interesting work. Both parties benefit

4、ted from the changed arrangement of work. The raise itself was then discussed. A decision was made by agreeing on a 6% raise for three months and then an additional 2% later if the new responsibilities were properly performed. 1. What was the department secretarys request?A.A better work environment

5、.B.A change of job position.C.A challenging task.D.A salary raise.答案:D解析 事實細(xì)節(jié)題。本題詢問部門秘書的要求。根據(jù)secretarys request定位到第一段第二句，該句提到，他的秘書要求加薪10%(a 10% salary raise)。D項a salary raise(提高薪水)是同義表達(dá)，故正確。 A項A better work environment(更好的工作環(huán)境)和B項A change of job position(改變工作職位)在文中沒有提到。C項A challenging task(有挑戰(zhàn)的任務(wù))是依

6、據(jù)第四段的gave her more responsibilities和more interesting work設(shè)置的干擾項，但那是公司想到的辦法，不是秘書提的要求。 2. The salary raise for the other employees was _.A.2 percent.B.5 percent.C.6 percent.D.10 percent.答案:B解析 事實細(xì)節(jié)題。本題詢問其他員工的加薪幅度。根據(jù)other employees定位到第二段第一句，該句用秘書要求加薪的10%與其他人得到的5%作比較(compared to the 5% other employees h

7、ad received)。據(jù)此可知其他人要求加薪5%，即B項5 percent。 A項2 percent和C項6 percent在最后一段最后一句提到，是最終公司的決定：同意先在三個月給秘書加薪6%，如果她完全履行了新職責(zé)，再追加2%，由此可知這兩個數(shù)據(jù)都是公司對秘書的加薪，不是其他人的加薪。D項10 percent是秘書要求的加薪幅度。 3. According to the passage, to achieve a win-win result the company agreed to _.A.give the secretary fewer responsibilitiesB.all

8、ow the secretary to work from homeC.change the secretarys work timeD.reduce the secretarys work load答案:C解析 事實細(xì)節(jié)題。問題詢問為了實現(xiàn)雙贏，公司同意了什么。根據(jù)win-win定位到第二段最后一句，該句用疑問句的形式提出要用雙贏的辦法解決問題。接著第三段具體說明是如果解決的。第三段第四句提到，他們同意把她的工作時間調(diào)整為上午7:30到下午4:30，相對公司的正常上班時間(上午8點到下午5點)，這個時間是改變了的，故選擇C項change the secretarys work time(改變

9、秘書的工作時間)。 A項give the secretary fewer responsibilities(給秘書更少的責(zé)任)和D項reduce the secretarys work load(減少秘書的工作量)與第四段第二句gave her more responsibilities相反。B項allow the secretary to work from home(讓秘書在家工作)與第三段提到的改變工作時間不符。 4. According to the last paragraph, the secretary may have an additional 2% salary raise

10、 if _.A.she can perform her new responsibilities wellB.the company offers her a higher positionC.she agrees to change her work scheduleD.the company makes more profits答案:A解析 事實細(xì)節(jié)題。本題詢問什么情況下，秘書可以有額外2%的加薪。題干指明了最后一段，可在最后一段中查找相關(guān)信息。根據(jù)數(shù)字2%定位到最后一句，該句的if條件狀語從句就是答案所在。A項she call perform her new responsibiliti

11、es well(她能好好地履行新職責(zé))用主動句改寫了原文的被動句the new responsibilities were properly performed，用well同義替換了properly，語義與原文一致，故為答案。 B項the company offers her a higher position(公司給她提供更高的職位)、C項she agrees to change her work schedule(她同意改變工作日程)和D項the company makes more profits(公司賺取更多的利潤)都與原文if條件狀語從句的內(nèi)容不符。 5. Who will bene

12、fit from the new arrangement of work?A.All the employees in the company.B.The company and the secretary.C.The company only.D.The secretary herself.答案:B解析 推理判斷題。本題詢問誰會從新的工作安排中獲益。根據(jù)benefit from the new arrangement定位到最后一段第一句。該句提到雙方(Both parties)都從新的工作安排中受益。從上文可知，秘書要求加薪，公司考慮雙贏(win-win)的解決辦法，因此可推斷Both pa

13、rties指的是公司和秘書雙方，即B項The company and the secretary為正確答案。 雖然秘書和公司都受益，但不代表所有員工都受益，故A項All the employees in the company(公司的所有員工)夸大了事實。C項The company only(只有公司)和D項The secretary herself(秘書自己)都只是其中一方，表述不夠全面。 Task 2 Subways are underground trains, which usually operate 24 hours a day.

17、city centersC.in or outside big modem citiesD.between suburbs and city centers答案:D解析 事實細(xì)節(jié)題。本題詢問地鐵的運行區(qū)間。定位到第一段第二句，由原文between the suburbs and the downtown area可知，正確答案為選項D。2.

19、 best means of transportation答案:C解析 細(xì)節(jié)推理題。本題詢問關(guān)于公共汽車的說法哪些正確。定位到第二段，最后一句話提到公交車不找零錢，與選項C一致，故選項C(投幣付費，不找零錢)為正確答案。公交車在白天運行，故選項A(公共汽車24小時提供服務(wù))不正確；第二段提到乘客可以使用月票，不是強制行為，故選項B(乘坐公共汽車的乘客必須買月票)不正確；選項D(公共汽車是最好的交通方式)原文沒有提到。4. When you take a taxi, youd better _.A.buy a monthly passB.ask about the fare firstC.agr
