1、read the passage and complete four answers. the old conditions of travel and the new conditions of most travel of today are exactly opposite. for in old travel, as on horseback or on foot, you saw the country while you travelled. many of your stopping places were for rest, or because night had fallen, and you could see nothing at night. under the old system, therefore, a wise traveller might keep moving from day to day, slowly, indeed, but seeing something all the time, and learning what the country was through which he passed by talk with the people. but in the new system, he is shut up with his party and a good many other parties in a tight bus with glass windows, and whirled on through dust if it is dusty, or if it is rainy, under arrangements which make it impossible to talk with the people of the country, and almost impossible to see what that country is. the old conditions of travel are ____ the new ones. a、the same as b、exactly the same as c、very different from d、exactly different from

2、read the passage and answer two questions. today, roller skating is easy and fun. but a long time ago, it wasn't easy at all. before 1750, the idea of skating didn't exist. that changed because of a man named joseph merlin. merlin's work was making musical instruments. in his spare time he liked to play the violin. joseph merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. people called him a dreamer. one day merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. he was very pleased and a little excited. as the day of the party came near, merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. he had an idea. he thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room. merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. these were the first roller skates. merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin. on the night of the party merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. everyone was astonished to see him. there was just one problem. merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. he rolled on and on. suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. nobody forgot merlin's grand entrance for a long time! the text is mainly about ____. a、a strange man b、an unusual party c、how roller skating began d、how people enjoyed themselves in the 18th century

4、unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids now, one might crash into earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists. asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids that race across the night sky. most orbit the sun far from earth and don't threaten us. but there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with earth. buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. by the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we'll have a way to change its course. is it worth it? two things experts consider when judging any risk are: (1) how likely the event is; and (2) how bad the consequences if the event occurs. experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots life might strike earth once every 500,000 years. sounds pretty rare—but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “if we don't take care of these big asteroids, they'll take care of us,” says one scientist. “it's that simple.” the cure, though, might be worse than the disease. do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on earth? “the world has less to fear from doomsday rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a new york times article. we can conclude from the passage that ____. a、while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world b、asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit earth in the near future c、the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime d、workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with earth

1、according to the majority of americans, women are every bit as capable of being good political leaders as men. the same can be said of their ability to dominate the corporate boardroom. and according to a new pew research center survey on women and leadership, most americans find women indistinguishable from men on key leadership traits such as intelligence and capacity for innovation, with many saying they’re stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders. so why, then, are women in short supply at the top of government and business in the united states? according to the public, at least, it’s not that they lack toughness, management talent or proper skill sets. it’s also not all about work-life balance.although economic research and previous survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhood may make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for top executive jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a key barrier for women seeking leadership roles. only about one-in-five say women’s family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren’t more females in top leadership positions in business and politics. instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten americans point to a double standard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business, where they have to do more than their male counterparts to prove themselves. similar shares say the electorate (选民) and corporate america are just not ready to put more women in top leadership positions. as a result, the public is divided about whether the imbalance in corporate america will change in the foreseeable future, even though women have made major advances in the workplace. while 53% believe men will continue to hold more top executive positions in business in the future, 44% say it’s only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men. americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics: 73% expect to see a female president in their lifetime. （2019.6月四级真题） q: what do we learn from previous survey findings about women seeking leadership roles? a、they have unconquerable difficulties on their way to success. b、they are lacking in confidence when competing with men. c、their failures may have something to do with family duties. d、relatively few are hindered in their career advancement.

1、the word proactivity is fairly common in management literature, but you won’t find it in the dictionary. it means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own life. look at the word responsibility: ability to choose your response, response-ability. effective people are proactive because they take responsibility. their behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelings. for instance, you are planning a picnic with your family. you’re excited. you have all the preparations, you’ve decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your plan. proactive people carry weather within them. they realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic else where even if it's in their own basement with some special games, and make the best of that situation. the opposite of being proactive is to be reactive. reactive people would say, “what’s the use?” “we can’t do anything.” “oh, this is so upsetting after all of our preparations and arrangements.” they try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled. being proactive is really just being true to your human nature. your basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon. that's true, despite widely accepted theories of determinism used to explain human nature. determinism says that you don't really choose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automatic responses to outside conditions. the language of reactive people is like: “i can’t.” “don’t have time.” “i have to.” “i must.” the whole spirit of that language is the transfer of responsibility. they think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their conditioning or their genetic makeup. psychologically, people who believe they are determined will produce the evidence to support the belief, and they increasingly feel victimized and out of control. they're not in charge of their life at all. on the contrary, a proactive person exercises free will, the freedom to choose the response that best applies to his values. in that way, he gains control over the circumstances, rather than being controlled by them. q: it can be concluded from the passage that determinists (宿命论者) . a、accept things passively b、are in charge of themselves c、are similar to proactive people d、respond to outside conditions actively

1、chronobiology might sound a little futuristic – like something from a science fiction novel, perhaps – but it’s actually a field of study that concerns one of the oldest processes life on this planet has ever known: short-term rhythms of time and their effect on flora and fauna. this can take many forms. marine life, for example, is influenced by tidal patterns. animals tend to be active or inactive depending on the position of the sun or moon. numerous creatures, humans included, are largely diurnal – that is, they like to come out during the hours of sunlight. nocturnal animals, such as bats and possums, prefer to forage by night. a third group are known as crepuscular: they thrive in the low-light of dawn and dusk and remain inactive at other hours. （摘选自雅思学术阅读训练题） guess the meaning of the underlined words. q1: futuristic means: a、advanced technology b、science fiction technology c、scientific d、/

1、schools are not just a microcosm (缩影) of society: they mediate it too. the best seek to alleviate the external pressures on their pupils while equipping them better to understand and handle the world outside—at once sheltering them and broadening their horizons. this is ambitious in any circumstances, and in a divided and unequal society the two ideals can clash outright (直接地). trips that many adults would consider the adventure of a lifetime-treks in borneo, a sports tour to barbados-appear to have become almost routine at some state schools. parents are being asked for thousands of pounds. though schools cannot profit from these trips, the companies that arrange them do. meanwhile, pupils arrive at school hungry because their families can’t afford breakfast. the child poverty action group says nine out of 30 in every classroom fall below the poverty line. the discrepancy is startlingly apparent. introducing a fundraising requirement for students does not help, as better-off children can tap up richer aunts and neighbours. probing the rock pools of a local beach or practising french on a language exchange can fire children’s passions, boost their skills and open their eyes to life’s possibilities. educational outings help bright but disadvantaged students to get better scores in a-level tests. in this globalised age, there is a good case for international travel, and some parents say they can manage the cost of a school trip abroad more easily than a family holiday. even in the face of immense and mounting financial pressures, some schools have shown remarkable determination and ingenuity in ensuring that all their pupils are able to take up opportunities that may be truly life-changing. they should be applauded. methods such as whole-school fundraising (资金筹集), with the proceeds (收益) pooled, can help to extend opportunities and fuel community spirit. but ￡3,000 trips cannot be justified when the average income for families with children is just over ￡30,000. such initiatives close doors for many pupils. some parents pull their children out of school because of expensive field trips. even parents who can see that a trip is little more than a party or celebration may well feel guilt that their child is left behind. the department for education’s guidance says schools can charge only for board and lodging if the trip is part of the syllabus, and that students receiving government aid are exempt from these costs. however, many schools seem to ignore the advice; and it does not cover the kind of glamorous, exotic trips. which are becoming increasingly common. schools cannot be expected to bring together communities single-handed. but the least we should expect is that they do not foster divisions and exclude those who are already disadvantaged. (2019.12 六级真题) q1: what does the author suggest can help build community spirit? a、events aiming to improve community services. b、activities that help to fuel students’ ingenuity. c、events that require mutual understanding. d、activities involving all students on campus.
2、q2: what does the author think about school field trips? a、they enable students from different backgrounds to mix with each other. b、they widen the gap between privileged and disadvantaged students. c、they give the disadvantaged students a chance to see the world. d、they only benefit students with rich relatives and neighbours.

1、schedule fairness intelligence in recent years, employee engagement has grown in importance for contact center leaders—and for a good reason. typically, engaged employees contribute about 20 percent more revenue and are 44 percent more productive than employees who are categorized as satisfied. and scheduling is one of the most critical ways to ensure employees are engaged—more than one in four employees who feel they have no support for work/life balance say that they’ll leave within two years, while only 17 percent of those who feel their work/life balance is supported are planning to leave. artificial intelligence (ai) is used by employee engagement solutions to give employees a degree of ownership in the often overwhelming process of meeting customer demand. machine learning (ml) can also be used to create a fair workplace that replaces or enhances traditional seniority-based assignment processes. some examples of this in action include: adaptive assignment: when workforce management ai is combined with adaptive intelligence, work schedules can be assigned using the uniquely identifiable metrics, attributes and preferences of each employee. preference persona assignment: as robust personas are managed and updated by employees, an ai machine monitors constantly for changes in employee preferences and adjusts the schedule accordingly. details such as, shift availability can be customized by staff, and the machine will automatically take into account their preferences when scheduling. policy assignment: intelligent ml policies have been integrated into modern workforce management solutions that create schedules and manage assignments in a balanced way while meeting customer demands. there are algorithms designed in the technology to balance the needs of both the employees and the business. personalized fairness assignment: often, employees want to volunteer to work specific days of the week, weekends or holidays, while their colleagues may want to be rotated through the assignments routinely. ml workforce management tools can monitor assignment history, fairness credits, volunteerism, work rules, and business need to manage the assignments fairly. ai’s utility and promise is an exciting shift for contact centers. the technology’s ability to learn the unique, decision-influencing factors of any omnichannel environment and rapidly apply intelligence is already benefiting contact centers, back-office operations, and branch environments. adopting this technology frees your staff to focus on those activities and thought processes that require a human touch. q: some examples of scheduling fairness intelligence include: a、adaptive assignment b、preference persona assignment c、policy assignment d、personalized fairness assignment

6、choose the best topic sentence for the following paragraphs. note that there is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. interviewers spend all day listening to answers to the same set of questions, and so they would appreciate someone who is concise. also, digressing into an anecdote about your aunt sandy doesn’t say much for your ability to focus on one task. if you have a relevant story to tell, practice it until you can deliver it in as few words as possible. a、your face should be open and friendly, inviting conversation from the interviewer. b、small details, such as posture, or the way you hold your head, have a greater impact than you can imagine. c、one interviewer we surveyed said she pays a lot of attention to a candidate’s body language. d、candidates should keep their answers to the point, without being monosyllabic
7、choose the best topic sentence for the following paragraphs. note that there is one extra sentence which you do not need to use scratching the nose or breaking eye contact, for example, are both sure signs that the interviewee is not being entirely honest. someone who does not sit straight might be lazy, while someone who sits too straight is probably not creative. these are subjective and perhaps hasty judgements, but interviewers are human, like everyone else. a、your face should be open and friendly, inviting conversation from the interviewer. b、small details, such as posture, or the way you hold your head, have a greater impact than you can imagine c、one interviewer we surveyed said she pays a lot of attention to a candidate’s body language d、candidates should keep their answers to the point, without being monosyllabic
8、read the following passage and choose the best answer to fill in the blank the expression “hands-on” means . a、practical b、important c、easy d、interesting
9、read the letter extract below. choose a word from “advise, apologize, persuade” to describe the purpose of the writer. dear frank, no-one knows as much as i do how hard you’ve worked to get that restaurant up and running, so the thought that i might have put it in jeopardy fills me with horror. it was a moment of stupidity, that i don’t intend to repeat, though if you choose not to trust me again, i would entirely understand. best, mark the purpose of this letter is to ____.
10、dear lily, when i started trying to lose weight, i wanted results too quickly. you get impressive results with crash diets in the first week or two, but believe me, it’ll all go back on. slow and steady is the best way to take it off and make sure it stays off. yours, sally the purpose of this letter is to ____.
