Passage 1

To: Cisco Systems employees

From: Stella Joyce, Event Planning Committee

Date: Friday, October 18

Subject: the 7th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day

Each year, on System Administrator Appreciation Day, we pause to recognize many contributions that have made by our system administrators during the year. This year’s System Administrator Appreciation Day will be held on December 10 and not December 5 as announced earlier. The Event Planning Committee is looking for your help to make this year’s celebration the best yet.

We are looking for ways to increase employee involvement in the event. For instance, would you like to help schedule the event program or bring food? Would you have time to set up decorations? Or perhaps you’d be willing to help by wiping off the tables, disposing of garbage, storing leftover food and removing decorations after the event.

An informational session will be held on Thursday, November 24 in Room 208. If you would like to volunteer to help out at the 7th annual System Administrator Appreciation Day, please contact Ms. Becky Walls at 504-2961.

If you are unable to attend the meeting but, have ideas you would like to share, please e-mail me at stella@cisco.com.

Passage 2

A small number of US education experts recently accused a number of American universities of their partnership with Chinese Government Teaching Programs. As part of the program, the Chinese Institutes and Chinese Classrooms operate in the US and nearly worldwide, specialized in teaching Chinese culture and language.

The Canadian Association of University Teachers already had expressed the same concerns.

参考答案

Passage 1

16.【答案】C。解析：细节题。题干：以下哪一项志愿者需要做的具体活动在文中没有提及？文章第二段列举了志愿者要做的具体活动：help schedule the event program or bring food，set up decorations，wiping off the tables，disposing of garbage, storing leftover food and removing decorations after the event。四个选项中只有C.“给职员买礼物”在文中未提及。故答案选C。

17.【答案】B。解析：细节题。根据题干关键词cannot attend the meeting，同义转换为unable to attend the meeting，定位到文章最后一段If you are unable to attend the meeting but, have ideas you would like to share, please e-mail me at stella@cisco.com.（如果不能参加会议的话，可以把自己的想法用e-mail的方式寄给“我(Stella Joyce)”）。故答案选B。注意：邀请别人参加典礼或会议的文章，一般在文章的结尾部分中都会涉及不能参加会议时的应对措施。遇到这样的问题时首先要看文章的最后一段。

18.【答案】B。解析：细节题。题干：计划会议将在什么时候召开？作为考查文章中涉及到日期的问题，要把题干中的“计划会议(planning meeting)”理解为文章中出现的“介绍情况的会议(An informational session)”。介绍情况的会议在11月24日举行，所以正确答案是B。

Passage 2

19.【答案】B。解析：细节题。题干：文章中抨击的是什么？根据题干关键词criticized定位到文章第一段前两句A small number of US education experts recently accused a number of American universities of ... specialized in teaching Chinese culture and language.可知：少数美国教育专家最近指责一些美国大学与中国政府教学项目的合作。作为该项目的一部分，中文学院和中文课堂在美国和世界各地开展教学，专门教授中国文化和语言。即：一些美国教育专家批评当今的一些教育现象，而这种现象正是中国文化和语言在美国的传授，故正确答案为B。

20.【答案】B。解析：细节题。题干：根据文意，下列哪项描述是正确的？根据原文第一句“A small number of US education experts recently accused a number of American universities of their partnership with Chinese Government Teaching Programs.（一小部分美国教育专家最近指责一些美国大学与中国政府的教学项目合作。）”和第四句“The Canadian Association of University Teachers already had expressed the same concerns.（加拿大大学教师协会已经表达了同样的担忧。）”可以得知，美国和加拿大都表达了同样的担忧，故正确答案为B。
