I"d say it"s the most important aspect of a manager"s job. A manager"s job is to get the job done. So he has to motivate the workers--as a team and also on an individual basis.W: So how do managers go about doing this? It doesn"t sound very easy.M: No, it is a complicated issue. But managers have special tools. They are trained to use them to boost motivation and increase production to a maximum.W: Tools?M: Yes, such as praise, approval, recognition, trust and expectation.W: And money? What about money?M: Yes, money is a factor but you might be surprised to learn that it comes out last on the list of these tools.W: What are more important for workers?M: Well, all of the things that I have already mentioned, and then job enrichment and good communication.W: And have you got any examples of real life situations to back up your claims?M: One good example is the firm Western Electric. When managers started to talk to the workers and encouraged them to get involved in decision making, workers began to feel that their contributions were important. And it paid off.W: Productivity increased?M: Yes, hugely.W: So, let"s get this straight. Are you saying that workers are not interested in earning more money?M: I"m saying they"re not just interested in money. There are other things that are just as important.Q: What is extremely important for a manager to do?A.Money is of little importance as a tool for a manager.B.Money is a key to motivation.C.The effects of money vary in different situations.D.It is less effective than most other tools for a manager. √解析：[听力原文]Q: What does the man think of money?A.Workers began to get involved in decision making.B.Managers also got encouraged.C.The company paid more to the employees.D.The company"s productivity was significantly up. √解析：[听力原文]Q: In what way did motivation work in the example of Western Electric?三、Section B(总题数：0，分数：0.00)四、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：9.00)（分数：9.00）A.India becomes the most populous nation.B.Cigarettes are no longer the most widely used form of tobacco.C.The incidence of mouth cancer has skyrocketed. √D.The tobacco industry has boomed.解析：[听力原文]Have you ever heard of tobacco toothpaste? That"s just one of many tobacco products that are popular in India, the world"s second most populous nation. Cigarettes are the most widely used form of tobacco, of course, but Indians also are fond of a wide selection of smokeless, chewable varieties—despite the fact that India has the world"s highest rate of tobacco-related diseases such as cancer and emphysema. Because many children and adolescents chew tobacco from morning till night, the incidence of mouth cancer has skyrocketed.Leading a campaign to warn India"s youth of the dangers of tobacco is Ruby Bhatia, who gives many speeches and television interviews. Bhatia was born in Alabama, grew up in Canada, and majored in philosophy at the University of Toronto. She moved to India a few years ago, already fluent in Hindi and English (two of India"s major languages), and quickly became one of India"s most popular TV talk-show hosts.Bhatia says that her TV experience helps her create anti-tobacco speeches that are short andpersuasive. "If you give a lot of ideas that are only loosely tied together, you won"t win your case. Your ideas must have a logical sequence." TV reports—which she says are a good model for public speakers to follow—often use a chronological, story-telling pattern or a problem-solution pattern.Q: What"s the result of many Indian children"s chewing tobacco from morning till night?A.Her giving many speeches and television interviews.B.Her being born in Alabama and growing up in Canada.C.Her majoring in philosophy at the University of Toronto.D.Her speaking fluent Hindi and English. √解析：[听力原文]Q: What contributed to Ruby Bhatia"s becoming one of India"s most popular TV talk-show hosts?A.The speeches must be short and persuasive.B.You must give a lot of ideas.C.Your ideas must have a logical sequence. √D.You should use a story-telling pattern.解析：[听力原文]Q: What suggestions did Bhatia give in creating speeches?五、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：9.00)（分数：9.00）A.Non-native English speakers. √B.Germans and Italians.C.Native English speakers.D.People who can only speak English.解析：[听力原文]For many years now we have been referring to English as a global language. Everybody seems to be learning English and it isn"t uncommon to see English being used as a means of communication between, let"s say, a German and an Italian. Very soon English will be the second language of all the people in the world.We can see evidence of changes in this all the time. Let"s take the Eurovision Song Contest as an example. Whatever we might think of the contest itself, one thing that has changed recently is that now countries can opt to sing in English. In the last festival fourteen of the twenty five competing countries asked for the rules to be changed to allow them to sing in English. They argued that singing in their own language would put them at a disadvantage.And what exactly does all of this mean for native speakers of English? Well, we are already in a minority. In the future, majority speakers—that are non-native English speakers—might outnumber native English speakers by four to one. The two most important Englishes won"t be British English and American English. They"ll be Native English and Majority English. So native English speakers will be the only people in the world who speak just one language. Because there won"t be much of a reason for native English speakers to learn a second language. As more and more people speak English, it makes sense that they will become more competent. It"s us, not the Majority English speakers, will be the disadvantaged.Q: What kind of people are often seen communicating in English as mentioned by the speaker?A.They worry that other people don"t understand their languages.B.They think English songs are easier for them to win the contest.C.They question the fairness of the rules.D.They think singing in English will bring them more advantage. √解析：[听力原文]Q: Why did many competing countries ask to be allowed to sing in English in the contest?A.Other languages might be lost in the future.B.Native speakers will lose some of their advantage. √C.The popularity of English will make the world less competitive.D.The English language will lose its purity.解析：[听力原文]Q: What is the speaker concerned about the most?六、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)（分数：12.00）A.She talked about different ways of entertainment.B.She tried to attract the audience with money.C.She opened the speech by asking a question. √D.She began her speech by citing some statistics.解析：[听力原文]At the beginning of a speech, student speaker Kathie Aquila posed a question: "On what form of entertainment do Americans spend the greatest amount of money? I"ll give you some hints. It"s not recorded music, nor sports events, nor rock concerts, nor theme parks."Then she revealed the answer: legalized gambling, on which Americans each year spend $340 billion—more money than they spend on all other forms of entertainment combined. In the body of the speech, Aquila tried to persuade her audience that gambling is a waste of money and time. Then she closed the speech with a quotation by Mark Twain: ""There are two times in your life when you should not gamble: when you can"t afford it and when you can.""Aquila"s speech was lively and impressive, partly because she used an interesting introduction and a memorable conclusion.Some speakers make no plans for the beginning and end of a speech, preferring to wait until speech time to let the mood of the moment determine what they say. This strategy is a mistake. If you don"t have a lively introduction, you can lose your audience. "People have remote controls in their heads today," says Myrna Marofsky, a business executive. "If you don"t catch their interest, they just click you off." And a conclusion that is weak or clumsy can damage the effectiveness of what otherwise might have been a good speech.Since the introduction and conclusion are extremely important, devote as much time and energy to them as you give to the body of the speech.Q: What did Aquila do at the beginning of her speech?A.She persuaded her audience to give up gambling.B.She ended her speech with a quotation by Mark Twain. √C.She answered the question she had posed at the beginning.D.She put forward some suggestions on entertainment.解析：[听力原文]Q: How did Aquila conclude her speech?A.They don"t plan the beginning and end of a speech. √B.They don"t do enough research on their topics.C.They don"t discuss relevant subjects with their friends.D.They spend too much time on the introduction.解析：[听力原文]Q: What mistake do some speakers make when they prepare a speech?A.Open a speech with some interesting stories.e some statistics to attract the audience.C.Spend more time on the body of a speech.D.Devote enough energy to the introduction and conclusion. √解析：[听力原文]Q: What does the speaker suggest speechmakers do at the end of the passage?七、Section C(总题数：1，分数：40.00)Paid work is a stiff aspect of daily life and an unyielding (顽固的) necessity for people who pay their own bills.

听力原文： A UN agency says there are major funding gaps in efforts to help the agricultural sector adapt to climate change. The Food and Agriculture Organization, the FAO, says this could affect food security. The warning comes as the UN Climate Change Conference continues in Cancun, Mexico. The World Bank estimates it will cost about $2.5 billion a year—for the next 40 years—to help agriculture in developing countries adapt to climate change. Other estimates say costs could run as high as $14 billion a year. However, the FAO says, “Available financing mechanisms are substantially insufficient to meet the climate change and food security challenges faced by the agricultural sector.” This, despite the fact that the FAO says there are many examples of how agriculture can become more.3. According to the world bank, how much does it cost to tackle agricultural challenges yearly?4. According to FAO, what is the problem faced by the agricultural sector?3．A．$14 billion.B．$40 billion.C．$2.5 billion.D．$25 billion.正确答案：C解析：新闻中指出，世界银行估计在今后的40年时间里，协助发展中国家的农业适应气候变化，每年得花费25个亿。

7.总分710分如何高分通过的英语四级的方法总结一、词汇词汇是英语学习的基础，它的重要性自不必多说。
全程班的课程安排中，前面一部分就是词汇讲解。
我记得每节课时长只有三十分钟左右，但是听课都得花上一个小时。
听词汇课的过程中，我会记录生词、释义以及例句。
我也很喜欢用【开心词场】，除了对应班级的词书外，我还背过其它词书(例如与中国传统文化相关的词汇等)。
对于一些一下子记不住的单词，可以把它们记在笔记本上，常去翻看。
要注意的是，光知道单词的意思而不会用是不够的。
我在记单词的时候会关注一些近义词，以便写作文的时候能够活用词汇。
另外想说一下我个人的想法，我觉得要知道自己掌握的词汇量的具体数值并不容易，但是想大致确定词汇量是否足够可以看一下两点：1、做阅读的时候是否因为生词过多而无法理解文意;2、写作文的时候是否想好了句子的架构却想不起对应的词汇。
如果自觉词汇量的不够的话，一定要趁备考时间充足加油记单词。
如果目前掌握的词汇量足够应考，也要常常复习避免遗忘。

Answer the questions, using information from the video.1. Emma2. Natalie3. Jessica4. Natalie5. Emma6. ChrisVideo ScriptInterviewer: Do you live right in the city or are you in a suburb?Jessica: I used to live in the suburbs with my parents until I was seventeen years old. And then, as I thought I have to grow up, I moved into the city, and I lived in the center.Interviewer: So which do you prefer?Jessica: That is difficult because both sites have their, like, advantages. In the city you are around your friends, and it is much easier to, yeah, to go out and to meet people, and you are at home in ten minutes because you can walk. And if you live in the suburbs, it is more quiet and yeah, you are more in the countryside, and more in the nature with the, yeah with your family, so it is like …I wouldn’t say one is better than the other one. It has … both sites is very good, so I like both. Chris: I think most people in the city are there because of work, a lot of the times, so a lot of people are rushing, and they have got deadlines and appointments to meet. So they can come across as a bit more rude than perhaps people in the suburbs who have less pressures on them, it seems to me. But I think once you get talking to people in the city, when they have got time, they are just as nice as anyone else.Interviewer: Tell me where you live.Emma: I live in the city. Where I live is kind of quiet, but it depends on the time of the day, and sometimes there is like a little restaurant in the area, and people tend to go there. So sometimes you hear when people are coming out when it is really late, but it is not noisy all the time. It is OK; It is a medium kind of sound there. There is lots of children there ---families, a lot of families.Different cultures, hard-working people. It is a very nice community. It is very clean, which is kind of different from the city because the city is kind of messy, but they maintain it, and they keep it very nice. So lots of stores, shopping, a little family theater area where kids can go watch shows with their family. So it is a very nice area … I enjoy living in the city because I get, it is quick access to, like, food or, you know, you don’t have to travel in a car or go down an hour or two to the mall. I mean, you can just walk up to any store and get an outfit and you are gone. Like, it doesn’t take a lot of work to go somewhere.Natalie: I live in the city, and I really enjoy living in the city because it is very busy, and there is always something to do. It gets a bit too busy sometimes, and so you …it is nice to take vacations. But I like living in the city because there is always bars to go to, there is restaurants, there is plenty to do. The commute to work is very short --- it only takes me about twenty minutes to get to work by public transportation. And, yeah, I really like it, because there is lots of people with similar interests and very interesting people to speak to all the time.ListeningA. Sound Bites少T eaching SuggestionsB.

As students discuss, encourage them to agree or disagree with their group members’ views.Step 3Take a poll of the class to find out how many people would like to live in each place.Part 2Discuss Social Responsibilities少A, B部分T eaching suggestionsC. Listening ComprehensionRead the questions and listen to part 1 of the story about Nicholas Green and his family. T ake notes on your notepad. Then summarize the first part of the story with your partner.Where were the Greens from? They were from California in the United States.What were they doing in Italy? They were on vacation.What happened to Nicholas? He was shot and died.What decision did his parents make? They decided to donate his organs to people who were sick.How did the Italian people react? They were very moved.ScriptM: Reg and Maggie Green were on vacation with their children on the island of Sicily in southern Italy. It was a long way from their home in California in the United States. They had just spent the day sightseeing and were driving on a highway back to their hotel. It was evening, and theirseven-year-old son, Nicholas, and four-year-old daughter, Eleanor, were fast sleep in the back seat.Suddenly, another car with two men pulled up beside them. The man on the passenger side had a gun, and he was screaming at them through the window. As Reg Green stepped on the accelerator and drove away quickly, he could hear gunshots. He drove as fast as he could to the nearest town. Maggie was relieved to see that the children were still sleeping. But when they stopped, they both realized that Nicholas had been shot, and they rushed him to a hospital. Sadly, after two days in the hospital, Nicholas died.One can only imagine the grief and sadness Reg and Maggie Green must have felt at that moment. But they made a decision that touched the lives of many people and the hearts of millions around the world. They decided to donate Nicholas’s organs to Italians who were very sick and needed them. By giving them Nicholas’s organs, Reg and Maggie felt that they could help others. Nicholas’s future had been taken away, so the Greens wanted to give a future to someone else.Their gift turned a senseless tragedy into a lesson in giving. Italians were very moved. They could not believe that visitors from another country --- who had suffered such a terrible loss --- could be so giving at such a terrible moment.少T eaching SuggestionsD. Read the questions and listen to Part 2; discuss your answers with a partner.1. People started to think differently about organ donation.The number of people who were willing to become organ donors increased by three to four hundred percent.2. Seven. One woman was able to see and the rest had their lives saved.3. They work to support organ donation.Script:M: Within days the Green family’s personal experience erupted into a worldwide story. In Italy, strangers walked up to them on the street, with tears in their eyes, to say thank you. People started naming streets, schools, and hospitals for Nicholas Green.When the Greens returned home, they received letters from thousands of people around the world. The letters told how the Green’s decision changed their attitudes about donating organs. In Italy, the number of people who were willing to become organ donors increased by three to four hundred percent --- they called it “The Nicholas Effect”.The Green family returned to Italy more than a dozen times after Nicholas’s death. And they met all of the people who received Nicholas’s organs --- seven people in all.A fifteen-year-old boy got Nicholas’s heart. During his illness, he had weighed only 27 kilograms and had spent half his life in hospitals. After the surgery, he was healthy and full of energy.One girl was two days from death --- the doctors have given up on her. But with one of Nicholas’s organs, she got better. She later got married, and she gave birth to two babies --- one a boy, whom he named Nicholas.A woman who had never seen her own child’s face now can see --- thanks to the corneas from Nicholas’s eyes.An eight-year-old boy was arriving at the hospital for his surgery to get one of Nicholas’s organs. He was asked to think about something nice. He said, “I’m thinking of Nicholas.”The Greens say that the love of life these people have shown --- and the looks on their families’faces --- is a wonderful reward. They often talk about how comforting it has been to know that people who would have died by now are leading normal lives, and that another who would have been blind can now see.Maggie and Reg Green have become very busy doing work to support organ donation. While it does not take away the pain of Nicholas’s senseless death, it helps the Greens to believe that something good has come out of the tragedy.少T eaching suggestionsSpeakingPolitely Ask Someone Not to Do SomethingA. CONVERSATION SNAPSHOTT eaching SuggestionsStep 1After students read and listen, check comprehension by asking What does the man ask for permission to do? (smoke) Does the woman give or refuse permission?(refuse) Why?(because smoke bothers her)Step 2Point out that both the person who asks permission and the person who refuses it are polite to each other. Ask students to identify and underline polite language in the conversation. (Do you mind my smoking here?; I hope that is not a problem; Not at all; That is very considerate of you; Thanks for asking.)Step 3Have students read and listen to the ways to soften an objection. Point out that when you refuse permission, it is polite to soften the refusal with a sentence from the box or to offer a reason for refusing.Language note: Use the question Do you mind…?When you think what you are asking permission to do might make the other person uncomfortable. Use That is very considerate of you to thank a person for being careful not to upset you. To inconvenience someone is to cause problems or difficulty for them.Option: Y ou may want to brainstorm ways of replying to the question Do you mind…? with the class on the board. (possible response: ways to say “Y es”/ refuse permission: Y es, actually, I do mind; Actually, smoking kind of bothers me; Ways to say “no”/give permission: No, I don’t; I don’t mind; Not at all; Go right ahead.) Be sure students understand that Yes refuses permission and No gives permission.T eaching SuggestionsHave students repeat chorally. Make sure they:ｏuse rising intonation for Do you mind my smoking here?ｏpause slightly after Actually …ｏuse emphatic stress for hope in I hope that’s not a problem.ｏuse the following stress pattern:Stress Pattern.--- . . --- ..A: Do you mind my smoking here?-- ..--- .. .--- . . . --- . .. ---- .B: Actually, smoking kind of bothers me.
