下面文章节选自一本英语畅销书,具体描述了5个令人愉快的场景(第1-5题)。请从选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出与各场景相匹配的简要场景说明,并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. When you arrive at your destination just as a great song ends on the radio
B. Finally remembering a word that’s been on the tip of your tongue for so long
C. When you’re watching one of your favorite movies and you realize you don’t remember how it ends
D. The moment at a concert after the lights go out and before the band comes on stage
E. Catching somebody singing in their car and sharing a laugh with them
F. Remembering what movie that guy is from
_______________________
You go early, grab a drink, you buy a T-shirt, you find your seat or you edge up to the stage, you listen to the opening act, you people watch, you talk to your friends, you guess what songs they might play, and then the moment finally arrives: The background music fades (逐渐变弱) down, all the lights suddenly go out, and there’s total blackness.
You feel a massive wave of expectation sweep across the crowd, people stand up, raise their arms and scream, and everyone clamors for that first view of the band walking on stage.
AWESOME!
_______________________
There’s really nothing like pulling up in the driveway and shutting off the engine just as that final drum beats or that sad guitar solo (独奏) slowly fades into perfect silence. If you time it just right, you’ll miss the start of the commercials, and you’ll be rewarded with the song replaying itself in your head all day.
AWESOME!
_______________________
You know the feeling.
Your favorite characters are introduced, the story kicks off, a couple plot twists and turns seem a bit unfamiliar, and it suddenly dawns on you: You can’t remember who the killer is, who dies, or if the cats ever get married. You can’t remember the story at all, and you’re loving every minute of it.
So you dim the lights, settle yourself under the blankets, and stay glued to the screen.
Because it’s like, hey, guaranteed blockbuster.
AWESOME!
________________________
Exactly in the middle of the movie’s big scene it always happens.
Everything gets tense for the courtroom finale or championship football game, and then all of a sudden the lawyer or opposing coach turns out to be that guy from some other movie and you just can’t stop thinking about where he’s from.
Wait, was he the prison guard in The Silent Lamb? The lawyer from Miracle on 34th Street? Or, no, no, no, I got it. He’s the knife guy from Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
AWESOME!
_______________________________
It’s late, quiet, and you’re stuck at a red light.
And there’s just something worth smiling about when you observe that passionate display of pure private pleasure only a few feet away. Suddenly you’re the producer in the booth watching your struggling artist hit the high notes in their tight sound room on wheels. Yes, they’ve tried for years to get clean and make it off the streets, but now you’re finally smelling a hit …
So maybe you dance along for a few beats, catch the same on your radio, or lock eyes with them for a second and share a warm and heartfelt laugh. Maybe you feel a tiny stir in your heart as you connect with a total stranger for a few seconds. And maybe it makes you a tiny bit happier and maybe you smile a tiny bit more.
AWESOME!
Make sure the respondent has enough information
Remember your survey’s purpose
Keep your questions simple
Include only one topic per question
If in doubt, throw it out
Avoid leading questions
Write more effective survey questions
Naturally, no question is “good” in all situations, but there are some general rules to follow. Using these rules and examples will help you write useful questions.
_______________
All other rules and guidelines are based on this one. There was a reason you decided to spend your time and money to do your survey, and you should ensure that every question you ask supports that reason. If you start to get lost while writing your questions, refer back to this rule.
_______________
This is another way of stating the first rule, but it is important enough to repeat. A question should never be included in a survey because you can’t think of a good reason to discard it. If you cannot come up with a concrete benefit that will result from the question, don’t use it.
________________
Compound sentences force respondents to keep a lot of information in their heads, and are likely to produce unpredictable results. Example: “Imagine a situation where the production supervisor is away from the line, a series of defective parts is being manufactured, and you just heard that a new client requires ten thousand of these parts in order to make their production schedule. How empowered do you feel by your organization to stop the line and make the repairs to the manufacturing equipment?” This question is too complex for a clear, usable answer. Try breaking it down into components parts.
_______________
How would you interpret the responses to “Please rate your satisfaction with the amount and kind of care you received while in the hospital.” or, a question asking about speed and accuracy? If you want to be able to come up with specific recommended actions, you need specific questions.
________________
Asking respondents “How effective has this company’s new distribution program been?” may not be as effective as “Recently, we used a new distribution system. Did you know this?” Followed by “Have you seen any positive benefits resulting from this change?” It can be beneficial to break down questions that require background information into two parts: a screening item describing the situation which asks if the respondent knows about it, and a follow-up question addressing attitudes the respondent has about the topic.
A. Busy parents? Bored children? Do you want something educational to entertain your children while you do something else? This is the most popular book for the under-fives. Wonderful stories and beautiful pictures. They are promised to be quiet when they open the book. What’s more, it is cheap.
B. Written by Bill Poole, CEO, president, and founder of Life Lead International, it is a good choice for your children. With an animated fable, the Journey to Newland storybook provides readers with a cast of memorable characters, a captivating story, and a common language to deal with difficult and often emotionally sensitive issues in negotiating change within their organizations.
C. Sorts out some misunderstandings and common confusions of the English language with practical savvy and occasional sass. The Word Book from Writers.com answers simple questions succinctly (is it discreet? or discrete? sensual or sensuous?). Other answers go a step further—with entertaining forays into the quirks and fascinations of English.
D. IELTS consists of four parts: listening, reading, writing and speaking. Listening is very important. Are you confident? Have you made well preparation? IELTS Listening is helpful for your preparation for IELTS, which is supposed to enable you to obtain an overall score.
E. As the world's most popular automotive magazine, Car and Driver informs and entertains people who like cars. It offers the highest quality vehicle tests in the business by applying a discerning eye to every car, pickup truck, van, and sport-utility vehicle that is marketed for consumers. The magazine also covers the latest developments in technology, which affect automobiles and driving.
F. Susan Weinschenk’s excellent ideas on making a perfect speech are so effective that once you own the book, you will become a good speaker. How to organize, how to present, how to conquer your audience become so easy. Speakers will become confident with the guidance of the book.
请阅读以下的人员资料,依据不同人员的需求,进行匹配。
Susan comes from China. As a middle school student, she wrote quite a lot of short stories, some of which were published in the newspaper.

Arthur has been working in China for about two years. Now he needs a car, for he has to send his daughter to school before he goes to work. Before that he has to collect all kinds of information about cars so as to make a good choice.
Ron’s wife is in hospital. He has to take care of the four-year-old John and do all the housework. But John follows him all the time. Ron feels tired and he wants to find something suitable for John, which should be educational and cheap.
Li Ming tends to enter the training for IELTS for immigration purpose next term. But he is afraid that his listening is not good enough. He needs more special training on his listening to make well preparations for the IELTS.
Alice is now studying in China and she is especially interested in making a speech. She is invited to make a speech to introduce IELTS for her new classmates next week. She needs a book to help her improve her speech.
第二节:下面文章中有5处(第58~62题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Live in denial
B. Sell your iPhone
C. Stop making phone calls
D. Purchase a car rather than an iPhone
E. Move to a location with strong carrier signal
F. Return the phone and get one from a different manufacturer(制造商)
Apple’s so-called iPhone 4 “Death Grip” - where holding the phone in the left hand weakens the signal - may rank among the top marketing failures of the 2010s.
Frustrated iPhone 4 owners don’t need to wait around for Apple to handle the problem. They can solve the calling problems on their own. I’ve got five guaranteed solutions, but you probably won’t like them.
________________. In most US states, purchasers can return phones within 14 days - 30 days in states like California. It’s the “buyer’s regret” period, and for some people who can’t make clear calls there surely is some kind of regret. Apple’s newest handset may be the most fashionable phone on the planet, but it is by no means the only choice. Yes, you can use another smart phone and find happiness.
_______________. OK, so this might seem like an extreme choice, but, hey, aren’t all those phone calls annoying? I’ve dramatically reduced the number of phone calls and must say it feels good to be free of them. You text, tweet(推特) and Facebook anyway. The iPhone has a touchscreen for a reason. Use it.
But, please, don’t text and drive.
_______________. If you must make phone calls, change your location. Repeatedly test for the Death Grip, but don’t let the sellers know the real reason for moving. Surely they’ll think that anyone willing to wait all night in a line to buy a cell phone is some one who is easily tricked or taken in. Don’t let your iPhone 4 enthusiasm drive up the seller’s counter offer.
________________. Hey, why should Apple be the only one who makes money? The iPhone 4 eBay auctions(拍卖)are crazy. There are “buy it now” prices of $1,000 and auctions with bids(出价)starting above $800. While writing this post, I watched one auction count down 7 minutes to zero, where in the final seconds the winning bid was $1,300 for the 32GB black model, unopened.
_______________. It’s surprising how effectively some people can just ignore problems like they don’t exist. No matter what the situation, they ignore it. “Hey, Johnny, don’t you know Toyota recalled(召回) a bazillion cars for accelerator pedal defects?” You know his answer: “Toyota is the best company on the planet. There is no problem with my car.” I’ve seen this kind of denial behavior among some Mac enthusiasts, too. About Death Grip, Apple CEO Steve Jobs is on record firmly stating: “Just avoid holding it in that way.” Apple claims the problem really isn’t iPhone 4 but you. Hey, you can choose to believe that. Denial will fix your problem, because you’ll never admit to having one.

Albert Einstein offered us more than just the amazing theory of relativity andmc². Through his persistence in his discoveries in science, Einstein shined a light on how each of us can do the impossible by working hard, experiencing failure, and valuing people.
● Simplify Your Work
“ If you can’t explain it to a six years old, you don’t understand it yourself.” --Albert Einstein
The more complicated you have to make something seem, the more you do not understand the inner workings of it. Did they make even the most complicated topics full of vocabulary that you did not understand or did they make it easier to understand by simplifying?
● Live in the Present
“ I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.” --Albert Einstein
You can try to get yourself worried about the future and make plans that may not work out according to plans. What matters most is living now, today. Do your best right now and do not worry about tomorrow.
● Work Towards the Impossible
“Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible” --Albert Einstein
If it seems ridiculous to others and you are willing to take the risk, then you are able to achieve the impossible. You complete what was once an obstacle.
● Value People
“Life isn’t worth living; unless it is lived for someone else.” --Albert Einstein
If you put people first, they will value you and consider you a person who genuinely cares about others. Show them that you value them. Thank them and send compliments their way. It will not only make their day better, but they will appreciate it and remember what you have done for them.

Erik rang his grandparents’ doorbell and silently wished the next four hours would go by quickly. He didn’t want to give up his entire Saturday afternoon at his grandparents’ house where there were no kids in the neighborhood.
“_______ There’s tea and cake in the dining room, ” Grandma Bethany said, opening the door.

“It opens the best room in this house,” Grandpa Bill whispered. “It’s the room I go to when your grandmother tries to make me help with the dishes.”
“__________” Erik asked.
“It’s a game room,” Grandpa Bill said. “Take the key and see if you can find the room.”
Erik stared at the key which looked old. Erik decided the oldest things in the house were probably upstairs in the attic(阁楼). He headed past the dining room and to the stairs.
Grandpa Bill shook his head._________
Erik thought about the oldest part of a house. “The basement! __________” He rushed to the basement door and opened it.

The Importance of Positive Attitude
A positive attitude is very important as it will make our life easier. . There will be times when we will face problems and obstacles. The most challenging part is not when our life goes smoothly but how we react when we experience problems and difficulties.
Those who have a positive attitude will treat any problem as a challenge. Instead of being discouraged, they will treat each failure as a lesson. . As for those who do not have the positive attitude, they will see problems and difficulties in a different way.
The situation can be the same for both the Guy A and Guy B. . Every one of us has the same amount of time. Since having a negative attitude will eat up our time, why don’t we just make good use of the same amount of time to have a positive attitude? Life itself is already hard. It will be much better if we have a positive attitude which will make our life happier and easier.
. People will generally prefer to stay with people who have positive attitudes as being happy is very infectious (富有感染力的) . Everyone will be affected by the energy of positive attitudes and they too will have a positive attitude.
If you learn to see the bright side of life when you’re surrounded by difficulties, you’ll be building your positive attitude fast. .

Nowadays more and more foreign enterprises and companies are no longer relying on interviews for recruitment(招募). Years of studying interviewing has made it clear that it is not a very objective process. Personnel officers often hire the person they like best or even the one they think most physically attractive. Looking good is no guarantee of doing the job well.
To get a more objective view,many companies are also using psychological tests,to hire both for relatively routine job and for positions at senior levels of management. It is impossible to say how many employers use tests,but estimates of test sales in the U.K.for 2001 were over one million.
Recruitment can involve steps in two ways. Step 1 is always the same:job application. The company decides whether you might be suitable based on your qualifications and your previous job experience. Step 2 can be screening. A specific test is given at this stage to rule out those who might not be worth interviewing. Some large employers use tests—especially IQ based tests precisely to eliminate the unsuitable. Only those who pass Step 2 go to the interview. Step 2 can also be testing and interview combined. If the company thinks you might be suitable after looking at your application,they ask you to come to be tested and to be interviewed. It is seen very much as part of the same step.
Tests claim to be scientific and objective. A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection. People's judgments are often very subjective:whether they like the look of someone counts for more than almost anything else. But reliable and valid tests can offer rapid and more objective information about wouldbe employees. If a candidate talks well in an interview but his test results suggest that he is a careless person who cannot concentrate,and employer is likely to think twice about hiring him.
Taking a serious test for a job is rather different from taking a gamelike test. You can spend just a little time answering questions of that kind of test,and you can deny the answers and say they are not accurate. But you can not go to a serious test without enough preparation since you can not afford to be denied and eliminated again and again. What can you do to do justice to yourself in tests?Here are three tips:Understand,Analyze,Practice.

A. Explore All Your Talents
B. Be Ready for the Up-coming Competition
C. Set a Down-to-Earth Goal
D. Prepare Yourself Emotionally
E. Look for a competitive college
F. Consider Talent Search Programs in Junior High
Many aspects of college planning are the same for most college-bound students. However, if you’re in any academically gifted and talented program, you have additional things to think about. Here are some actions you should consider.

Talent search programs provide educational opportunities for seventh-and eighth-graders who are mathematically or verbally talented. Some of these programs use SAT scores to identify academically gifted students. Although most students take the SAT in junior or senior year of high school, gifted and talented student often take it earlier.
______
Many gifted students have the potential to succeed in multiple academic areas. Don't miss opportunities by focusing too early on one that you excel in; carefully examine all your strengths and interests. Discover what you really like to study and the topics you may want to pursue in college. Pursue your interest and passion for learning to the fullest extent possible while you’re still in high school.
______
Gifted students often feel that they have to be accepted by very competitive colleges to be considered successful. And while a competitive college may be the right place for you, don’t let selectivity be the only factor. The most important aspect of college planning is finding a college that’s a good fit.
______
Many gifted students are used to being at the top of their junior high and high school classes. Be prepared to meet other gifted students in college — students who do just as well as you, or better, in the classroom. It can be unsettling. Handle it by staying focused on your own studies and skills and aiming to do your personal best.
______
Although your academic qualifications and abilities may exceed those of your high school classmates, your age is the same as theirs. High school is a time for adolescence, while college requires emotional maturity. A 15-year-old high school graduate may not be prepared to live on a campus 1,000 miles from home with other students who are 18 and older. Think about what you are ready for emotionally, as well as academically, when you’re narrowing down your college list.
