Section A
Conversation One
M: So how long have you been a Market Research Consultant?
W: Well, I started straight after finishing university.
M: Did you study market research?
W: Yeah, and it really helped me to get into the industry, but I have to say that it's more important to get experience in different types of market research to find out exactly what you're interested in.
M: So what are you interested in?
W: Well, at the moment, I specialize in quantitative advertising research, which means that I do two types of projects. Trackers, which are ongoing projects that look at trends or customer satisfaction over a long period of time. The only problem with trackers is that it takes up a lot of your time. But you do build up a good relationship with the client. I also do a couple of ad-hoc jobs which are much shorter projects.
M: What exactly do you mean by ad-hoc jobs?
W: It's basically when companies need quick answers to their questions about their consumers' habits. They just ask for one questionnaire to be sent out for example, so the time you spend on an ad-hoc project tends to be fairly short.
M: Which do you prefer, trackers or ad-hoc?
W: I like doing both and in fact I need to do both at the same time to keep me from going crazy. I need the variety.
M: Can you just explain what process you go through with a new client?
W: Well, together we decide on the methodology and the objectives of the research. I then design a questionnaire. Once the interviewers have been briefed, I send the client a schedule and then they get back to me with deadlines. Once the final charts and tables are ready, I have to check them and organize a presentation.
M: Hmm, one last question, what do you like and dislike about your job?
W: As I said, variety is important and as for what I don't like, it has to be the checking of charts and tables.

3 What does the woman say about trackers?

对话一
男:你做市场调查顾问多长时间了?
女:我大学毕业后就开始做了。
男:你学的是市场调查吗?
女:是的,这帮助我进入了这个行业,
但是我不得不说,你需要有各种市场研究的经验才能找出你真正感兴趣的事物,这很重要。
男:你对什么感兴趣?
女:目前来说,我专门做量化广告调查,也就是说我做两个项目。
追踪调查,这是个正在进行的项目,研究很长一段时期内的趋势和客户满意度。
追踪调查的唯一问题是太费时间。
但是你真的能和客户建立良好的关系。
我也做一些临时工作,这些项目的耗时较短。
男:你说的临时工作是什么?
女:主要是,当企业需要快速解答关于消费者习惯的问题时,
比如,他们需要发出一份问卷调查,所以你花费在临时工作上的时间非常短。
男:你更喜欢哪种工作,最终调查工作还是临时工作?
女:我两个都喜欢。实际上,需要同时做这两种工作以防我疯掉。我需要工作多样化。
男:你能解释一下你和新客户的交流过程吗?
女:我们一起找到研究方法并设定研究的目标。
然后我设计一份问卷调查。问题的摘要制定好后,我把计划书发给顾客,然后他们按最后的期限返回给我。
把最终的图标准备好后,我需要进行检查,然后整理报告。
男:最后一个问题,你喜欢和不喜欢的工作分别是什么?
女:就像我之前说的,工作的多样性很重要,至于我不喜欢的内容就是图表的核对了。
问题5-8是基于刚才你所听到的这段对话的。
问题1:女士在公司的职位是什么?
问题2:目前,女士专门做什么?
问题3:女士对于追踪调查都说了些什么?
问题4:女士不喜欢的工作内容是什么?
Conversation Two
W: Hello, I'm here with Frederick. Now Fred, you went to university in Canada?
M: Yeah, that's right.
W: OK, and you have very strong views about universities in Canada. Could you please explain?
M: Well, we don't have private universities in Canada They're all public. All the universities are owned by the government, so there is the Ministry of Education in charge of creating the curriculum for the universities and so there is not much room for flexibility. Since it's a government-operated institution, things don't move very fast. If you want something to be done, then their staff do not have so much incentive to help you because he's a worker for the government. So I don't think it's very efficient However, there are certain advantages of public universities, such as the fees being free. You don't have to pay for your education. But the system isn’t efficient, and it does not work that well.
W: Yeah, I can see your point, but in the United States we have many private universities, and I think they are large bureaucracies also. Maybe people don't act that much differently, because it's the same thing working for a private university. They get paid for their job. I don't know if they're that much more motivated to help people. Also, we have a problem in the United States that usually only wealthy kids go to the best schools and ifs kind of a problem actually.
M: I agree with you. I think ifs a problem because you're not giving equal access to education to everybody. It's not easy, but having only public universities also might not be the best solution. Perhaps we can learn from Japan where they have a system of private and public universities. Now, in Japan, public universities are considered to be the best.
W: Right. It’s the exact opposite in the United States.
M: So, as you see,it's very hard to say which one is better.
W: Right, a good point.
5 What does the woman want Frederick to talk about?
6 What does the man say about the curriculum in Canadian universities?
7 On what point do the speakers agree?
8 What point does the man make at the end of the conversation?

女:大家好,今天我要和弗雷德里克聊聊。
弗雷德里克,你是在加拿大念的大学?
男:是的。
女:好的,那你很了解加拿大的大学。你能介绍一下吗?
男:加拿大没有私立大学,全是公立的。
所有大学都是政府运营的,加拿大教育部负责大学课程的设置,
所以没有太多灵活变通的空间。
大学是政府运营的机构,事情进展的速度不会太快。
如果你想做件事,工作人员没有太大的积极性去帮助你,因为他是为政府工作的。
我认为这样就导致效率不太高。
不过公立大学也有优点,比如学费免费。你不用交教育费用。
不过这种体系不仅效率低,而且效果不太好。
女:我明白你的观点,我们美国有很多私立大学,我认为私立大学也是庞大的官僚机构。
工作人员的行为看起来没什么不同,因为为私立大学工作没什么不一样的。
他们通过工作获得薪水。我不知道他们在帮助别人时是否有积极性。
美国的问题是,只有有钱人家的孩子才能去最好的学校上学,这是问题所在。
男:我同意你的看法。我认为这的确是个问题,因为这样没有让所有人享有同等的受教育权利。
这个问题不容易解决,不过我觉得只设有公立大学而没有私立大学可能并不是最好的解决方法。
或许我们可以像日本学习,他们既有公立大学又有私立大学的教育体系。
日本的公立大学被认为是最好的学校。
女:是的。这与美国的情况完全相反。
男:可见,很难说哪种体系更好。
女:对,你说的没错。
问题5-8是基于刚才你所听到的这段对话的。
问题5:这位女士想让弗雷德里克聊聊什么?
问题6:对于加拿大大学的课程,男士都说了些什么?
问题7:两位说话者都赞同的观点是什么?
问题8:对话最后男士得出了什么结论?

Passage 1
A recent International Labor Organization report says the deterioration of real wages around the world calls into question the true extent of an economic recovery, especially if government rescue packages are phased out too early. The report warns the picture on wages is likely to get worse this year despite indications of an economic rebound. Patrick Belser, an international labor organization specialist, says declining wage rates are linked to the levels of unemployment. The quite dramatic unemployment features, which we now see in some of the countries, strongly suggest that there will be a great pressure on wages in the future as more people will be unemployed, more people will be looking for jobs and the pressure on employers to raise wages to attract workers will decline. So we expect that the second part of the year would not be very good in terms of wage growth. The report finds more than a quarter of the countries experienced flat or falling monthly wages in real terms. They include the United States, Austria, Costa Rica, South Africa and Germany. International Labor Organization economists say some nations have come up with policies to lessen the impact of lower wages during the economic crisis. An example of these is work sharing with government subsidies. Under this scheme, the number of individual working hours is reduced in an effort to avoid layoffs. For this scheme to work, the government must provide wage subsidies to compensate for lost pay due to the shorter hours.
9 What is the International Labor Organization's report mainly about?
10 According to an International Labor Organization's specialist, how will employers feel if there are more people looking for jobs?
11 What does the speaker mean by the work sharing scheme?

国际劳工组织最近的一份报告指出世界各地实际工资的恶化情况令人质疑经济复苏的真实程度,
尤其是如果政府的救市计划过早结束。
报告称,尽管经济有回暖迹象,今年的工资状况仍有可能进一步恶化。
一位国际劳工组的专家织帕特里克·贝尔塞表示工资增长率的降低与失业率有关。
我们看到现在一些国家的失业率十分惊人,这强烈表明未来工资会因失业人数增加而面临更大压力。
由于有更多人求职,企业在提升薪资吸引员工方面的压力便随之下降。
因此,我们预测今年下半年的工资增长前景不容乐观。
报告发现超过四分之一的国家实际月工资没有增长甚至出现下降。
其中包括美国、奥地利、哥斯达黎加、南非、德国。
国际劳工组织的经济学家称,在经济危机期间,一些国家已经提出了相应政策来减轻低工资的影响。
其中的一个例子就是分享政府补贴的工作。
按照这项政策,减少个人工时来避免裁员。
为了此方案有效运转,政府必须提供工资津贴以补偿工时减少而造成的工资损失。
问题9-11是基于刚才你所听到的这篇短文的。
问题9: 国际劳工组织报告主要是关于什么的?
问题10: 据国际劳工组织的专家介绍,如果有更多人求职,那么雇主们会作何感想。
问题11: 说话者所说的工作分享政策是什么意思?
Passage 2
Is there really a magic memory pill or a herbal recall remedy? I have been frequently asked if these memory supplements work. You know, one of the first things I like to tell people when they ask me about the supplements, is that a lot of them are promoted as a cure for your memory. But your memory doesn't need a cure. What your memory needs is a good workout. So really those supplements aren't going to give you that perfect memory in the way that they promise. The other thing is that a lot of these supplements aren't necessarily what they claim to be, and you really have to be wary when you take any of them. The science isn't there behind most of them. They're not really well-regulated unless they adhere to some industry standard. You don't really know that what they say is in there, isn't there. What you must understand is that those supplements,especially in some eastern cultures, are part of a medical practice tradition. People don't just go in a local grocery store and buy these supplements. In fact, they are prescribed and they're given at a certain level, a dosage that is understood by a practitioner who's been trained. And that's not really the way they're used in this country. The other tiling people do forget is that these are medicines, so they do have an impact. A lot of times people are not really aware of the impact they have, or the fact that taking them in combination with other medications might put you at increased risk for something that you wouldn't otherwise being countering or be at risk for.
12 What question is frequently put to the speaker?
13 What does the speaker say about most memory supplements?
14 What do we learn about memory supplements in eastern cultures?
15 What does the speaker say about memory supplements at the end?

魔力记忆力药片或者记忆力补救草药真的存在吗?
我经常被问到这些记忆力补品是否有效?
当人们问到我记忆力补品的时候,我首先要告诉他们的是这类补药被宣传为能治愈他们的记忆力。
但是你的记忆力并不需要治疗。
你的记忆力需要的是良好的锻炼。
所以那些补品真的不会给你带来他们所承诺的那种完美的记忆力。
另一件事是很多补品并不像他们所说的那样,你需要谨慎服用。
很多补品并没有科学依据。
其实他们的管理并不良好,除非他们遵守行业标准。
你并不知道这些药品是否有效。
你必须明白的是,尤其是在一些东方文化中,这类补药是传统医学的一部分。
人们不只是到当地杂货店去买这类补药。
实际上,这类补药属于处方药,须由经过训练的职业医师规定剂量。
而这个国家并没有采取这种方式。
人们忘记了一件事,那就是这类补药是药品,他们确实会带来一些影响。
很多时候人们并没有真正意识到服用这类补药所带来的影响,也不知道与其他药物同服可能会增加出现某些不良情况的风险。
问题12-15是基于刚才你所听到的这篇文章的。
问题12:说话人经常被问到什么问题?
问题13:对于大多数的记忆力补品,说话人都说了什么?
问题14:从东方文化中,我们了解了记忆力补品的什么?
问题15:在文章最后,说话人对于记忆力补品都说了什么?

The negative impacts of natural disasters can be seen everywhere. In just the past few weeks, the world has witnessed the destructive powers of earthquakes in Indonesia, typhoons in the Philippines, and the destructive sea waves that struck Samoa and neighboring islands. A study by the Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters finds that, between 1980 and 2007, nearly 8,400 natural disasters killed more than two million people. These catastrophic events caused more than $1.5 trillion in economic losses.
U.N. weather expert Geoffrey Love says that is the bad news. "Over the last 50 years, economic losses have increased by a factor of 50. That sounds pretty terrible, but the loss of life has decreased by a factor of 10 simply because we are getting better at warning people. We are making a difference. Extreme events, however, will continue to occur. [16]But, the message is that they need not be disasters. "
Love, who is director of Weather and Disaster Risk Reduction at the World Meteorological Organization, says most of the deaths and economic losses were caused by weather, climate, or water-related extremes. These include droughts, floods, windstorms, strong tropical winds and wildfires.
He says extreme events will continue. But, he says extreme events become disasters only when people fail to prepare for them.
"Many of the remedies are well-known. From a planning perspective, it is pretty simple. Build better buildings. Don't build where the hazards will destroy them. From an early-warning perspective, make sure the warnings go right down to the community level. Build community action plans."
The World Meteorological Organization points to Cuba and Bangladesh as examples of countries that have successfully reduced the loss of life caused by natural disasters by taking preventive action.
It says tropical storms formerly claimed dozens, if not hundreds of lives, each year, in Cuba. But, the development of an early-warning system has reversed that trend. In 2008, Cuba was hit by five successive hurricanes, but only seven people were killed.
Bangladesh also has achieved substantial results. Major storm surges in 1970 and 1991 caused the deaths of about 440,000 people. Through careful preparation,the death toll from a super tropical storm in November 2007 was less than 3,500.
16 What is the talk mainly about?
17 How can we stop extreme events from turning into disasters?
18 What does the example of Cuba serve to show?

As U.S. banks recovered with the help of the American government and the American taxpayer, President Obama held meetings with top bank executives, telling them it's time to return the favor. "The way I see it are banks now having a greater obligation to the goal of a wider recovery," he said. But the president may be giving the financial sector too much credit "It was in a free fall,and it was a very scary period." Economist Martin Neil Baily said. After the failure of Lehman Brothers, many of the world's largest banks feared the worst as the collapse of the housing bubble exposed in investments in risky loans.
Although he says the worst is just over, Baily says the banking crisis is not. More than 130 US banks failed in 2009. He predicts high failure rates for smaller, regional banks in 2010 as commercial real estate loans come due.
"So there may actually be a worsening of credit availability to small and medium sized businesses in the next year or so."
Analysts say the biggest problem is high unemployment, which weakens demand and makes banks reluctant to lend. But US Bankcorp chief Richard Davis sees the situation differently.
“We're probably more optimistic than the experts might be. With that in mind, we're putting in everything we can, lending is the coal to our engine, so we want to make more loans. We have to find a way to qualify more people and not put ourselves at risk."
While some economists predict continued recovery in the future, Baily says the only certainty is that banks are unlikely to make the same mistakes twice. "You know, forecasting's become a very hazardous business so I don't want to commit myself too much. I don't think we know exactly what's going to happen but ifs certainly possible that we could get very slow growth over the next year or two."
If the economy starts to shrink again, Baily says it would make a strong case for a second stimulus—something the Obama administration hopes will not be necessary.
19 What does President Obama hope the banks will do?
20 What is Martin Neil Baily's prediction about the financial situation in the future?
21 What does U.S. Bankcorp chief Richard Davis say about its future operation?
22 What does Martin Neil Baily think of a second stimulus to the economy?

A new study has failed to find any conclusive evidence that lifestyle changes can prevent cognitive decline in older adults. Still there are good reasons to make positive changes in how we live and what we eat as we age. Cognitive decline is the loss of ability to learn new skills, or recall words, names, and faces that is most common as we age. To reduce or avoid it, researchers have examined the effect of smoking, diet, brain-challenging games, exercise and other strategies.
Researchers at Duke University scrutinized more than 160 published studies and found an absence of strong evidence that any of these approaches can make a big difference. Co-author James Burke helped design the study. "In the observational studies we found that some of the B vitamins were beneficial." "Exercise, diet, cognitive stimulation showed some positive effects, although the evidence was not so strong that we could actually consider these firmly established." Some previous studies have suggested that challenging your brain with mentally stimulating activities might help. And Burke says that actually does seem to help, based on randomized studies—the researcher's gold standard "Cognitive stimulation is one of the areas where we did find some benefit. The exact type of stimulation that an individual uses is not as important as being intellectually engaged." The expert review also found insufficient evidence to recommend any drugs or dietary supplements that could prevent or slow cognitive decline. However, given that there is at least some evidence for positive effects from some of these lifestyle changes, plus other benefits apparently unrelated to cognitive decline, Burke was willing to offer some recommendations. "I think that by having people adopt a healthy lifestyle, both from a medical standpoint as well as nutritional and cognitive stimulation standpoint, we can reduce the incidence of cognitive decline, which will be proof that these factors are, in fact, important." James Burke of Duke University is one of the authors of a study reviewing previous research on cognitive decline. The paper is published online by the Annals of Internal Medicine.
23 According to the speaker, what might be a symptom of cognitive decline in older adults?
24 According to James Burke, what does seem to help reduce cognitive decline?
25 What did James Burke recommend to reduce the incidence of cognitive decline?
