银行考试题库：英语通用模拟题（二）答案

Passage 1

1.【答案】D。解析：细节题。根据第一段第一句话KGV is a traditional high-street music retailer.可知本题答案应选D. It is a high-street music retailer.

2.【答案】D。解析：词义猜测题。turnover一词所在的句子The megastores’ sales have risen by 8%, accounting for 55% of the company’s turnover.的意思为：大型商店的销售额增加了8%，占该公司turnover的55%，根据第一段最后一句可知该公司拥有65个商店，其中8个是大型商店，8个大型商店的营业额占整个公司的55%，那很显然turnover应该是公司总营业额的意思，四个选项中只有D项的释义符合，故答案选D。

3.【答案】B。解析：推断题。根据第二段前两句话The company is at present going through a difficult period. Over the last three years, profits have steadily fallen, from 450m Euros to 290m Euros.可知该公司目前正在经历困难期，过去的三年里，其利润稳步下滑，从4.5亿降到了2.9亿，由此可推知B项正确，因为利润稳步下滑的话，收入就会相应稳步下降；第二段第三句The megastores’ sales have risen by 8%, accounting for 55% of the company’s turnover, but the increased revenue has been achieved only by heavy expenditure on advertising and promotion是针对8个大型商店而言，并非针对整个公司的情况说的，故A项排除；原文说的是该行业有fierce competition（激烈的竞争），并非C项的“有竞争力”，故排除C项；根据第一段第二句中的Based in Amsterdam...可知该公司的大本营是在阿姆斯特丹，并非美国，故排除D项。

Passage 2

4.【答案】B。解析：主旨题。表面是问文章来源，实际是考查文章的主旨大意。文章首段中说在组建团队时无论你如何挑选，最终团队中总是会有消极的员工，接着就提出If you are dealing with a negative employee, here are 3 steps to take. 之后围绕着如何对待消极员工提出三个思路。所以整篇文章其实是在介绍对待团队中消极员工的几种方法，其实也就是管理团队的几个建议。所以正确答案是B。A项是说如何创建高效团队，但是其实文章是围绕如何管理团队中的消极员工展开的，并没有提到如何创建高效团队。

5.【答案】C。解析：推断题。根据文章第二段最后一句Individuals in the workplace live multi-dimensional lives, and other non-workplace stressors may impact work productivity and mood. 可知员工的非工作压力会导致消极情绪升级，四个选项中只有C项是指non-workplace stress。

6.【答案】A。解析：推断题。根据文章第二段最后一句话... employees who are cynical of their workplace may feel more positive if their managers are supportive. 可以推断出A正确。其他三个选项未在文中提及。

7.【答案】B。解析：语义题。根据题干“tone policing”定位到文章第三段，从句where you simply point out pessimistic commentary without addressing the root cause. 其实就是对“tone policing”的解释，tone policing是指“只给出悲观评论，但是却没能指出问题的实质”，选项B与之同义。故答案为B。

8.【答案】D。解析：细节题。根据文章最后一段If there are workplace issues that can be solved, consider doing so if it makes sense. 可以体现出A项；If there are personal issues that have caused an escalation in negative behavior,... such challenges. 可以体现出B项；最后一句... putting them in jobs where they are more focused on job-related tasks... 则能体现出C项。只有D项原文中没有提到，故选D。
