During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasnt until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadnt known at the time of the interview was Opt the candidates “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding. He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting (避开) your eyes.“I was just thrown off by the lack of eye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out, but will not miss that opportunity again.”Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our understanding of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions.Hire AdvantageAt a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult, employers who can eliminate invalid biases (偏见) from the process have a distinct advantage. My company, Mindsets LLC, helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots. A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make.“During my Mindsets coaching session, I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets. The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company. When the real estate teethes began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to say in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession.”Blinded by GenderDale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce. “Through one of the sessions, I discovered my personal bias,” he recalls. “I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person, and being open to differences.” In his case, the blindness was not about culture but rather gender.“I had a management position open in toy department; and the two finalists were a man and a woman. lied I not attended this workshop, I would have automatically assume(2)Tiffanys misjudgment about the candidate stemmed from(3)What is becoming essential in the course of economic globalization according to the author?(4)What kind of organization is Mindsets LLC?(5)After one of the workshops, account executive Dale realized that.(6)What did Dale think of Mindsets LLCs workshop?(7)How did Doug, a supervisor, respond to a Chinese-American employees request for leave?(8)Doug felt _ when he realized that his assumption was wrong.(9)After attending Mindsets workshops, the participants came to know the importance of _ to their business.(10)When we view people as individuals and get rid of stereotypes, we can achieve diversity and benefit from the _ .Part III(1)She expected more people at her party.BShe enjoys entertaining small children.CShe threw a surprise party for her friend.DShe has always enjoyed great popularity.(2)AThey are not used to living in a cold place.BThey feel lucky to live in Florida.CThey are going to have a holiday.DThey have not booked their air tickets yet.(3)AHe was pleased to get the medal.BHe was very courageous.CHe used to be a firefighter.DHe was accused of causing a fire.(4)AMake a profitable investment.BBuy a new washing machine.CGet parts for the machine from Japan.DHave the old washing machine fixed.(5)AHe is pleased with his exciting new job.BHe finds the huge workload unbearable.CHe finds his office much too big for him.DHe is not to excited about his new position.(6)AThe woman is going to hold a big party tomorrow.BThe man has no idea what the right thing to do is.CThe woman doesnt know how to get to the party.DThe man offers to drive the woman to the party.(7)ADrawing up a business plan.BDiscussing a term paper.CFinalizing a contract.DReviewing a co-authored article.(8)AShe ordered some paper.BShe had the printer repaired.CShe chatted online with a friend.DShe filled in an application form.(9)Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.(10)AShe passed away years ago.BShe used to work as a model.CShe has been working at a clinic.DShe has been seriously It for years.(11)AShe has made lots of money as a doctor.BShe is going to take care of her old dad.CShe has never got on with her father.DShe is kind and generous by nature.(12)AHo dines out with his wife every weekend.BHe is excellent but looks bad-tempered.CHe does not care about his appearance.DHe is not quite popular with his patients.(13)Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.(14)ASend a service engineer to do the repairs.BConsult her boss about the best solution.CPass the mans order to the right person.DSolve the problem at her companys cost.(15)Aideal.BTemporary.CPartial.DCreative.(16)Questions 26 to 28 are based on the conversation you have just heard.(17)AThey can harm nearby plants.BThey may catch some disease.CThey fight each other for food.DThey may pollute the environment(18)APlace the food on warmer spots.BUse prepared feed mixtures only.CAvoid using any contaminated foodDContinue the feeding till it gets warm.(19)Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.(20)AShe made him apologize.BShe readily forgave him.CShe broke up with him.DShe refused to answer his calls.(21)ABuy hose new set of tires.BHelp clean her apartment.CLend her his batteries.DMove furniture for her.(22)Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.(23)AHe always boasts about his rich father.BHe will grow up to be good for nothing.CHe has too much to know the value of things.DHe is too young to manage his inherited property.(24)AShe wants Amanda to get professional careBShe has no experience in raising children.CShe wants to show off her wealth.DShe has no time to do it herself.(25)AThe lifestyle depicted in Hollywood movies.BThe worship of money, beauty and pleasure.CThe attention the media focuses on them.DThe pursuing of perfection in performance.(26)Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times.

Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to find. “Most designers with existing labels are finding there arent comparable fabrics that can just replace what youre doing and what your customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs (企业家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New sustainable special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional (过渡型旳) cotton at higher prices, thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material. “Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn.Some analysts (分析师) fl are less sure. Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer. When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that Im aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, shes on the hunt for “cute stuff that isnt too expensive.” By her own admission, green just isnt yet on her mind. Butthanks to the combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliersone day it will be.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。(2)According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that.(3)We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion.(4)What is Natalie Hormillas attitude toward ecofashion?(5)What does the author think of green fashion?(6)Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand (缕) of hair, a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims.The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in peoples hair.“Youre what you eat and drink, and thats recorded in your hair,” said Thure Ceiling, a geologist at the University of Utah.While U.S. diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move.Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素). The heaviest rain falls first. As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months.Cerlings team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a map of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy or the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops.They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of rain systems.“Its not good for pinpointing (精确定位),” Ceding said. “Its good for eliminating many possibilities.”Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair.When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months.She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.“Its still a substantial area,” Park said. “But it narrows it way down for me.”注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。(7)What does the author mean by “Youre what you eat and drink” (Line1, Para.3)?(8)What is said about the rainfall in Americas West?(9)What did Cerlings team produce in their research?(10)What is the practical value of Cerlings research?完型填空(1)Kimiyuki Suda should be a perfect customer for Japans car-makers.

Now we talk about how to fund a museum. A museum can never be considered as a financial burden to society. I suggest that the Government should invest a small amount of money on advertisements for the museums in the city. For example, ads of the museums should be forwarded on the travel b rochures or maps of the city. Consequently tourists come and admission tickets are collected. Both reputation and funds are earned. Conclusion (23 words) In brief, museums should play a role as an instructive means of the city and incomes from admission can keep them running properly.Part II (30 minutes)(1) :A) He just wouldnt look her in the eye.(2) :C) cultural ignorance(3) :B) Increasing understanding of people of other cultures.(4) :B) A personnel training company.(5) :D) He must get rid of his gender bias.(6) :C) It helped him make fair decisions.(7) :A) He told him to get the dates right.(8) :very embarrassed(9) :inclusiveness(10) :differences and similaritiesPart III(1) :D) She has always enjoyed great popularity.(2) :C) They are going to have a holiday.(3) :B) He was very courageous.(4) :B) Buy a new washing machine.(5) :D) He is not so excited about his new position.(6) :D) The man offers to drive the woman to the party.(7) :C) Finalizing a contract.(8) :A) She ordered some paper.(9) :B) He can no longer work at sea.(10) :A) She passed away years ago.(11) :C) She has never got on with her father.(12) :B) He is excellent but looks bad-tempered.(13) :C) Some of the packs do not contain any manuals.(14) :D) Solve the problem at her companys cost.(15) :
