Part II Reading Comprehension(30%)

Directions:In this section you will read four passages.Each one is followed by five questions about it.You are to choose ONE as the best answer,A,B,C,or D,to each questions.Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Questions26to30are based on the following passage.

In giving a business presentation,many speakers think that if their idea is strong,their audience will get it readily.They feel discouraged when the audience is unable to understand their presentations.That happens a lot especially when technical experts are invited to make a product presentation to a group of users.

What can we do to make a business presentation easier to understand?In my view,good presentations have always been simple and visual.In an effective business presentation,the fewer the points,the better the message gets passed on.You focus on the depth of coverage instead of the width(广度)of coverage.Additionally,you make your ideas visual and relevant,so the message is understood better and remembered longer.Great business presenters relate their ideas and concepts to their audience by using simple,powerful diagrams instead of relying on text-based slides.In fact,drawing diagrams forces a presenter to make the idea clear even at the preparation stage.It is impossible to draw a diagram when you are not clear about an idea.When your idea is clear,it is easier to transfer it.Most audiences understand a diagram faster and remember it longer.This possibly explains why most of the memorable presentations have been visual in nature.

26.Many speakers believe that the stronger their idea,______.

A.the more powerful their speech will be

B.the more meaningful their speech will be

C.the more easily the audience will understand it

D.the harder the audience will find it to follow

27.Why are you advised to give fewer points in your presentation?

A.To pass on the messages better.

B.To avoid wasting too much time.C.To allow audience to take notes.

D.To leave more time for questions.

28.The speaker can help the audience remember the message longer by______.

A.displaying text-based slides

B.avoiding long technical terms

C.focusing on the width of coverage

D.using simple and powerful diagrams

29.The underlined word“transfer”in this passage most probably means“______”.

A.create

B.pass on

C.take off

D.describe

30.This passage is mainly about______.

A.how to make an effective business presentation

B.how to present strong ideas in a presentation

C.how to focus on the depth of coverage

D.how to prepare a powerful diagram

Passage Two

For our day-to-day operations,Blue Jeans Company has established several key relationships and we can easily expand our production when the demand for our goods increases.

Passage Three

Questions36to40are based on the following passage.

When you quit a job,you typically give two weeks’notice.But at KIND Healthy Snacks they do things differently.

Founder and CEO Daniel Lubetzky asks employees,whom he calls“team members,”for at least two months,and in some cases two years’notice.

In return,Lubetzky focuses on their professional growth until the day they leave.

It may sound extreme,unrealistic even,to ask for two months’notice—or two years’notice from those who work with him directly—but his reasoning makes perfect sense.

“We call the KIND team a‘family’,so major life transitions(转变)like changing jobs aren’t meant to be kept in secret until the last minute,”Lubetzky tells Business Insider.“No one should南京工程学院试卷共9页第6页

be scared to talk about what’s next for them.”“I would rather a team member come to me months in advance,letting me know what will be happening in their life,”he says,“whether it is a baby on the way,a relocation for personal reasons,or a plan to go back to school.”

Lubetzky doesn’t expect his employees to accept a job elsewhere and ask the new employer to delay their start date by two months or two years.He simply wants anyone who is exploring new opportunities to be open about it.

36.How long in advance does Lubetzky ask his employees to give their job-quitting notice?

A.Two weeks.

B.One month.

C.At least two months.

D.More than two years.

37.For his employees,Lubetzky cares most about______.

A.their health conditions

B.their further education

C.their retirement pension

D.their professional growth

38.One of the reasons given by Lubetzky for his job-quitting notice is that______.

A.he treats his team as a“family”

B.he can save a large amount of money

C.changing jobs is regarded as a life transition

D.the news of changing jobs should be kept in secret

39.What does the underlined phrase“a baby on the way”mean?

A.A baby is going to be born.

B.A baby is growing healthily.

C.A baby is going to be adopted.

D.A new-born baby is coming home.

40.What is the actual purpose of Lubetzky’s requirement of job quitting?

A.The employees should be loyal to the company.

B.The employees should be open about their leaving.

C.The employees may get enough time to search for a new job.

D.The employees may save enough money to support their family.
