听力原文
　　Belgium has three main geographic regions: the coastal plain, the central plateau and the highlands. The coastal plain extends inlands 16 to 48 kilometers on the northwest. Along the north sea is a lowlying area consisting mainly of sandy hills and sections of lands reclaimed from the sea. The coastal plain’s elevation ranges from sea level to 20 metres.
　　The central plateau is a gently rolling, slightly elevated area, irrigated by many waterways and containing a number of wide, fertile valleys with a rich soil. The highlands, a densely-wooded plateau, averaging 460 metres in elevation, extends across southeastern Belgium and into northeastern France. Located here is the highest peak in Belgium with an elevation of 694 meters.
　　The climate near the sea is humid and mild. Farther inland, a marked increase in the range of temperature occurs. In the highlands, hot summers alternate with cold winters. Heavy rains are confined almost exclusively to the highlands. Fog and rain are common, and April and November are particularly rainy months. In Brussels, the average temperatures range from zero to 5 degrees Centigrade in January and from 13 to 22 degrees Centigrade in July. Along the coast, the average range is 1 degree to 5 degrees Centigrade in January and 14 to 20 degrees Centigrade in July.

To succeed in anything, one should be flexible, curious and 9

What does Saffo consider to be essential to the work of a team? 10

听力原文：
　　W: Mr Saffo, you’ve been called the futurist. But you say you hate that term. Talk about that.
　　M: mm... I dislike the term because it’s not an accurate description of what I do. For me, futurists are people who’re excited about the future. They usually have an agenda of some sort. But what I am is something more boring. That is, I just forecast, I don’t predict. I am a technology forecaster. And I spend most of my time looking at electronic technologies. So I’m looking at information technology very largely, and typically out 5 to 10 years, sometimes as long as 30 years, depending on the project.
　　W: Who pays you to do this? Do you work for companies who need this information.
　　M: The Institute for the Future is a non-profit foundation that does work for private companies and government agencies. A whole variety of different folks pay us to help them understand things. And we also do free work. Being a non-profit foundation, our basic mission is to encourage people to think systematically about the long-range future. The heart of what we try to do is convince people that it is a meaningful exercise to think systematically about the long-range future.
　　W: What are the personal qualities that make you good at what you do?
　　M: mm, curiosity, er what else? Being flexible. Because forecasting is really nothing more than applied common sense. The same qualities that make for a good forecaster are the same qualities that … make one successful in anything?being flexible, being curious and being open to change.
　　W: You’ve mentioned that your organization wants to stay small. Why?
　　M: It has to do with community. Our unit of work is the team and you need to have high levels of trust and cooperation among team members. People need to really like and trust each other.

听力原文
　　Passage 1
　　One of the first questions anybody asks about a new-born is “what is the baby’s name?” Faced with this tiny pink new-born, we want to put a name to it, as if by doing so, we welcome it to this world of individuals. We always name the things we love. A small child will give names to even his tiniest toys or his well-chewed blanket. And the difference between “Blankie” and the blanket is an entire personality.
There are many ways to choose a name for a baby. One of the most common is to use an old family name. If the family tie is strong enough, parents are often willing to overlook an unpleasant feeling or meaning. If all the men for five generations have been named Branden, who are you to complain that the name means “smelly hair”? Inspiration need not be limited to the family tree. Pick an attribute, pick the name of an Italian city where the baby was born. Name the baby after your favorite poet or interesting scent.
　　It can be difficult to find a perfect name for your baby. But the beauty of the process is this. By the time the baby is a few months old, his personality erases all other associations the name may hold, the evil snake or the much loved poet fades away and the name becomes quite simply the name of your child. And you will have made the right choice.

Passage 2
　　Bobby Moore was a famous English soccer player who led the England team to victory against West Germany in the 1966 World Cup Final. As a superb defender, Moore played a hundred and eight games for England’s national team from 1962 to 1970 and was captain 90 times. His professional soccer career spans 19 years and 668 matches, a record with no match so far in England. Moore was born in Barking, East London, in 1941. His full name was Robert Frederick Moore. He began playing club soccer in the early 1960s. He was named England’s footballer of the year from 1963 to 1964. Moore was known for his sportsmanship on the field. He was not inclined towards wild celebration of girls. In 1967, he was made a member of the order of the British Empire. More retired from playing in 1977, and after spending brief periods managing professional soccer teams, he concentrated on developing a sports marketing company and doing media work. He was sports editor of Sunday Sport from 1986 to 1990 and a regular commentator for London’s Capital Radio Station from 1990 to 1993. After Moore was diagnosed with cancer, he went public with his battle in 1991 and continued to work until his death in 1993.

Passage 3
　　Belfast is the capital of Northern Island and a major city in commerce and industry. It is one of the most important ship-building and repairing centers of the United Kingdom, and has long been known for its linen textiles. Its manufactures include aircraft, guided weapons, and tobacco and food products. A large petroleum refinery here is supplied by imported petroleum which is received at the city’s deep-water port. Other imports include grain, coal, chemicals and iron and steel. Among the chief exports are petroleum products, soap, food stuffs and textiles. In Belfast, there are the notable Ulster Museum and the Protestant Cathedral of Saint Anne. As an educational center, the city is home to Queen’s University of Belfast and Belfast College of Technology. Although there’s evidence that people once settled in this place during the stone and bronze Ages, the founding of Belfast dates from 1177 when a Norman castle was erected. Edward Bruce destroyed the settlement in 1315, the year he became the Irish King. The city was taken by the English in the 16th century. In the late 17th century, French refugees arrived here and developed the linen industry. The harbor was improved in the late 18th century and ship-building was begun on a large scale. The city was made the capital of Northern Island 1920. During World War II, Belfast was heavily damaged by German bombing raids. Beginning in 1969, the city was the scene of religious disorder involving civil rights agitation and increased violence.

Section III Reading Comprehension

Part A

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your mowers on ANSWER SNEET 1. (40 points)

Text 1

Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site’s “personal search agent”. It’s an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. “I struck gold,’ says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company.
　　With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet, finding promising openings can be time-consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases. But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks. Narrowing your criteria, for example, may work against you: “Every time you answer a question you eliminate a possibility.” says one expert.
　　For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept —— what you think you want to do —— then broaden it. “None of these programs do that,” says another expert. “There’s no career counseling implicit in all of this.” Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. “I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me,” says the author of a job-searching guide.
　　Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When CareerSite’s agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs —— those it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them —— and they do. “On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase in our traffic,” says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for CareerSite.
　　Even those who aren’t hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder. “You always keep your eyes open,” he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.

41. How did Redmon find his job?

[A] By searching openings in a job database.
　　[B] By posting a matching position in a database.
　　[C] By using a special service of a database.
　　[D] By E-mailing his resume to a database.

42. Which of the following can be a disadvantage of search agents?

[A] Lack of counseling.
　　[B] Limited number of visits.
　　[C] Lower efficiency.
　　[D] Fewer successful matches.

43. The expression “tip service” (Line 4, Paragraph 3) most probably means

[A] advisory.
　　[B] compensation.
　　[C] interaction.
　　[D] reminder.

44. Why does CareerSite’s agent offer each job hunter only three job options?

[A] To focus on better job matches.
　　[B] To attract more returning visits.
　　[C] To reserve space for more messages.
　　[D] To increase the rate of success.

45. Which of the following is true according to the text?

[A] Personal search agents are indispensable to job-hunters.
　　[B] Some sites keep E-mailing job seekers to trace their demands.
　　[C] Personal search agents are also helpful to those already employed.
　　[D] Some agents stop sending information to people once they are employed.

分析：
　　这是一篇议论文，主要讨论网站推出的一种叫“个人搜索工具”的功能项目对求职者的帮助作用。
　　第一段以雷德曼为例，引入文章话题“个人搜索工具”。
　　第二段指出这种工具的弊病。
　　第三段讨论这种工具的真正价值。
　　第四段指出这种工具设计者的隐藏着的意图。
　　第五段指出该工具对其他人的价值。

参考译文：
　　甘特.雷德曼律师去年底找工作的时候，在网上碰到了一家叫“职业开创者”的网站。(41)他没能在该网站上搜索到什么，但却被其中的“个人搜索工具”所吸引。这是一种互动性的功能，访客只需键入自己的求职要求，诸如地点、职务和薪水，然后给网上贴出的对应岗位发个邮件。雷德曼键入了法律、知识产权和华盛顿哥伦比亚特区几个关键词。三周后，他收到了第一个岗位通知。雷德曼感叹自己“挖到了金子”，他将自己的简历邮发给老板，就得到了公司的内部顾问的职务。
网上有成千上万个与谋职有关的网站，找到好的岗位低效耗时。搜索工具使人们不必反复访问某些网址，但尽管这种搜索工具对雷德曼有用，求职专家们却发现了其弊病。譬如说，把个人的求职要求具体明确，反而会对自己不利。有专家说“每当你回答一个问题，你就排除了一种可能”。
　　(42) 找工作，首先得有一个明确的概念―――你觉得自己想干什么―――然后拓宽观念。“而没有一个程序能做到这一点”，专家认为，“这些程序缺少的是职业咨询”。相反，(43)最佳策略应是，把这种搜索工具看作为“提示服务”，借它了解网站中的岗位职业机会；一旦受到邮件，将其看作是一个提醒，以便查阅网站。一位求职搜索指南的作者就说过，“我可不想全靠这些搜索工具，去了解网站中新添加的对我有用的信息”。
　　(44)有些网站故意设计搜索工具，引诱求职者回访。例如，职业开创者网站的搜索工具在给注册会员发信时，只提高三个可能的职位―――被认为最匹配的职位。网站可能还有更多的匹配，求职者将不得不再次访问网站―――他们也确实这样做。职业开创者网站的营销部副总裁就曾说，“我们的邮件发出后，点击率就急剧上升”。
　　(45)既便非求职者也会发现搜索工具非常有用。有人便借它严密关注自己专业的需求情况，或为加薪谈判搜集相关的加薪信息。尽管已高兴上岗，雷德曼仍关注着职业开创者网站的搜索工具。他说，“你得瞪大眼睛”。有了个人搜索工具就等于多了一双眼睛帮你张望。

41. [答案] [C]
　　[解析] 这是一道细节题，问Redman是怎样找到工作的。依据文章第一段，可知答案为C。
　　42. [答案] [A]
　　[解析] 这是一道细节判断题。第三段前三句中，作者借专家之言表达了自己对搜索工具的缺陷的看法：确实职业咨询特征。选项A符合此意，为正确答案。
　　43. [答案] [D]
　　[解析] 这是一道词义题。依据第三段的第四句可知，“tip service”只起提示作用(reminder)，故答案为D。A. advisory意为“咨询，顾问”，与文章内容不符，因为文章说这种搜索agent缺的正是咨询特征。
