Did you freeze?M: No, I didnt. The temperature was about seven degrees most days, and I must say I found itquite comfortable. You should take warm clothes though and you really need a good windproof coat . F: Now, tell us a bit about the ship you were on.M: It was called the Explorer , and it was built only three years ago. The cabins are very small,and at first, I did wonder where I was going to put all my stuff. However, whoever designed the ship thought of just about everything a passenger would need, and I eventually foundplenty ofcupboard space under the bed.F: What were the other passengers like?M: Oh, the atmosphere on board between the passengers was really great. The crew really triedto get everyone to mix. I was invited to eat with the expedition leader, he was American, onthe first night, and then after that I sat at a different table for dinner every night, but you dont have to if you dont feel like it.F: Did you get seasick at all?M: Some of the passengers did, the weather can be stormy in the Antarctic. Of course there isa doctor on board and he gave anyone who needed it an injection for seasickness. Luckily, I didnt need one and the others got over it pretty quickly once theyd had the injection.F: I bet that was a relief! Whats your best memory of the trip?M: Well, thatshard to say, but probably itsof the animals we saw, whales, penguins and seals .One day we set off to a place called Cuverville Island, which is famous for its birds. There were ten of us in a tiny rubber boat-that was a bit hair-raising I can tell you! Anyway, once there we had to climb up a steep, icy hill, but the view from the top was terrific.F: Did you come across any people apart from your fellow tourists?M: Yes, a few of the scientists at a research station . They gave us coffee and biscuits one morning! There used to be a thriving fishing industry in this area at one time, but all thats left are some deserted buildings.F: Did you feel guilty about disturbing such an untouched region?M: Well, yes and no. Cruise ships are not allowed to dump rubbish or to go wherever they like,and they have to carry scientists to lead the excursions. Only small parties are permitted to land in one area at a time, and youve got to keep away from the wildlife. So, all in all I felt that well-run trips, like this one, would do more good than harm. I also felt completely changed by the experience . It was like going to another world.F: Well, thank you for telling us about your trip, Steve.(2) .Whats the ship like?* A.

VB.C.D.解析：解析23-30changingM: rd like to say a few words about our Unitons management employee communication issue. In the last few years, we have seen more changes than many of us could have expected in the entire working lives. From being regarded as relatively unimportant in many companies, management employee communication has become a central corporate need.Uniton International provides agood example of a company that has adjusted well to the needs for communication. Since 1995, Uniton has been turned inside out and upside-down, to ensure that it is a marketing-led, customer-responsive business.In the last eight years, Uniton has reduced its workforce by more than 80, 000 people, or 35%,on a voluntary basis, with further downsizing anticipated.From being an engineering company, Uniton is now remaking itself as a service company.The roleof employee communication in such a context is to build peoples self-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees . However, this is not an easy task. People doubt that they are losing touch with the company they have worked for over many years. This is understandable, since many of the old certainties are being swept away, including the core activities of the company they work for. Above all, they have had to face up to the fact that they no longer have a job for life.Employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the new situation: a few see their job as a meansto an end and have a relatively short-term perspective, with strong loyalty to their local term, rather than the company as a whole. While most people may respond to threatened changes with a feeling of havingbeen let down, and even feel angry at the company for what theysee as changing the terms of their employment.The employee communication process needs to direct its messages correctly to employee and departments within the workforce.This is why middle managers and line managers are so key tocommunication. They are the people who know about the full range of concerns among the workforce . The problem in the past was that this crucial area was often the responsibility of a separate, relatively isolated unit. Uniton puts responsibility for communication firmly on line managers. People prefer to get their information face-to-face from their line managers. That is the key relationship and where arguments and hearts and minds are lost.The general rule in company communication is to tell employees as much as you can as soon as you can . If you cant provide details, then at least put the news in context and commit yourself to providing greater detail when it becomes available another rule of company communication is that there must be a fit between what the company is telling its employees and what it is telling its shareholders.选项中 redundant 表示被解雇的，与原文“ .reduced its workforce by.一致。(2) .For Uniton, the role of communication is to A. win employee support before going ahead with the changes. B. change the companys core activities.* C. emphasise the positive aspects of the changes.(分数:1.00 )A.B.C. VD.解析：.the role of employee communication这个提示词，并对下文语句进行总结归纳即得出答案.insuch a context is to build peoples self-confidence, to persuade them that, although it is inevitable that the changes will go ahead, they also bring with them new opportunities for employees.(3) .What is the attitude of the majority of the employees about the change?* A. They feel they have been treated unfairly. B. They feel completely powerless. C. They become less loyal.（分数:1.00 ）A. VB.C.D.解析：题干中的“ the majority of”与文中“ most peo ple may respond to threatened changes with afeeling of having been let down ，” 相呼应。在前面听至U employees fall into two main categories in terms of their response to the new situation即应注意。（4）.Who are supposed to know about the full range of concerns among the workforce?* A. directors of the company B. working Union C. middle managers and line managers（分数：1.00 ）A.B.C. VD.解析：上下文呼应，考生听至 U.this is why middle managers and line managers are so key tocommunication时应注意做笔记，这样对于下文人称指代才能更为清晰掌握一“They” are the peopl e whoknow about the full range of concerns among the workforce.（5）.Since 1995, Uniton endeavors to be* A. a marketing-led, customer-responsive business.B. a customer-led, marketing-responsive business.* C. a market-driven business.（分数：1.00 ）A.

VD.解析：解析W: rve had some very positive feedback on the ad campaign, John.M: Great !W: I thought youd be interested to hear the results of a telephone survey the advertising agency carried out .M: Yes, very much so.W: Firstly, it seems we were right to take the advice of the advertising agency and not to employ actors , as we normally do in our ads. It seems people have really responded to well-known personalities dressed as factory workers on our production line.M: So, did the people in the telephone survey say they felt persuaded to buy the products?W: Nobody actually said that , but they definitely thought it was something different at the momentThe response that came back again and again wasthey thought the ads were great.M: Hmm, that should really give the MD something to smile about. But how are sales performing?W: Well, I was a little worried, because wed set such very high targets. And sales of new products dont always perform well straight away. Also, its such a competitive market. In fact, though, weve met all our targets so far.M: And maybe when more people see the ads, sales will be above target. Its only three weeks since the campaign started.W: Mm, now, another interesting point is the type of consumers buying these products.M: Were aiming at men and women in the twenty to thirty age group, rather than teenagers.W: Well, the survey showed that actually its thirteen to nineteen-year-olds who buy the products more than women, and men are in third place.M: I wonder if thats because of the style of our ads.W: Possibly. We should see whether this pattern changes as the campaign goes on.M: Has there been any feedback on which magazines
