The better defined your hiring process is, the more easily, it will be adhered to. I suggest that you use a multi-stage interviewing process by which the candidate meets with multiple people to provide different opinions and input on the hiring-decision. Again, keep all notes taken during theinterview. These notes should be factual and should detail bservations made by the people conducting the interview as well as quotations of the candidate’s reponses to questions．There should be no inferences made about a candidate in any notes，and no notes should be taken on a resume（简历）．
Pre-determine three to six questions that will help you uncover the capability of each applicant and ask those same questions to each person that is interviewed．These initial questions will serve as a departure point to base other follow-up questions on. By using the same question in different ways and you will also be able to draw close comparisons between each candidate’s responses，which will help you determine the best match for the position.
Developing that interviewing process a little further, time limits should be set on responses to
candidates．Today’s job market changes so rapidly that waiting more than 72 hours to inform a candidate how he or she did in an interview is an eternity（永远）. Many candidates have multiple interviews within one or two days and plan to take the first job offered that meets their salary and benefits demands. Hired or not, as a candidate, it is much easier to keep a positive frame of mind about a company that is
responsive, shows an interest in your success as an individual, and provides feedback （反馈）about an interview within one or two days. Waiting to make a decision about candidates is how other companies manage to hire the “perfect fit” right out from under you!
26. As for an interview, the author suggests that . A. there should be more than one interviewer in the interviewing process
2
B. only the applicants’ responses to questions should be noted and recorded.
C. interviewers should make some notes on the margins of the candidates’ resumes D. interviewers should ask whatever questions that may help decide the perfect fit 27. The passage i s m ai nly about . A. how to pre-determine questions in an interview B. how to respond to candidates after an interview C. how to arrange the interviewing process properly D. how to decide the best match during an interview
28. By \"waiting more than 72 hours to inform a candidate how he or she did in an interview is an eternity\"
in Line 2 of Paragraph 3, the author means .
A. it’s boring for a candidate to wait more than 72 hours to know the result of an interview B. it’s too long to keep a candidate waiting over 72 hours to know the result of the interview C. it's necessary for a candidate to wait 72 more hours because it takes time to make decisions D. it's outdated to inform the candidates the result of the interview after more than 72 hours 29. According to the passage, tine limits should be set on responses to candidates mainly
because .
A. today’s job market changes very rapidly B. candidates usually attend many interviews
C. it helps interviewers gain the initiative to hire the perfect match D. candidates finds it boring to wait a 'long time to know the result
30．\"The phrase \"departure point'，in Line 3 of Paragraph 2 refers to . A. the conclusion point B. the starting point C. the leaving point D. the Central point’
Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1．The 5 questions or unfinished statements are Numbered 31 through 35.You should make the corrected choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre．
One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card.. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels at home, across the country, and -even abroad; and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered-locations, whether or not the local branch bank is .open. For many of us the \"cashless society\" is not on the `horizon--it's already here.
While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold :and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours ate busiest and which employees are the most efficient ,allowing. personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by .manufacturers for similar `reasons: Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, -which to develop for the future, and which to drop .Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even. of the production process: itself.
Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from, gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better end more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
31. According: to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to .
3
A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes. B. obtain more convenient services than other people do. C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper. D. cash money wherever he wishes to.
32. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that .
A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards. B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today. C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash.
D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before. 33. The phrase \"ring up sales\" most probably means .
A. make an order of goods.
B. record sales on a cash register. C. call the sales manager.
D. keep track of the goods in stock. 34. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.

A. computers will bring disaster.
B. computer industry will not develop faster.
C. computers will bring about more convenience to people's 1ife;． D. computers will replace human beings in the future．
Task 3
Directions: Read the. following passage．After reading it; you should give brief answers to the 5 questions
(No. 36 to No. 40). The answers should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.
Although. credit cards are becoming more .acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still
regarded with suspicion by many as being a major part of the “live now pay later\" syndrome. Along With hire; purchase, rental and leasing schemes, they provide encouragement to spend more money. Of course, it is only the foolhardy who succumb to the temptation to live, temporarily at least; beyond their means, and such people would not doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.
Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They obviate the need to carry large. amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies. All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 percent a year, yet judicious purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven
weeks interest free credit. Using the card abroad where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account can extend the period even further.
It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on particular credit card. It’s necessary to consider the amount of credit granted interest rates which may vary slightly the number and range of outlets though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and departments stores and of course what happens if your card is lost or stolen. A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential gold mine particularly if there is delay in reporting the loss of the card.
However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.
36. Many people suspect that credit cards lure people to .

37. The author seems to believe that even in the absence of credit cards, some people would undoubtedly .
38. In Para. 2, in addition to the advantages of no need to carry cash and being useful in emergency, what else is said to be the advantage of credit cards?.
39. What’s the main idea of Para 3？
40. The author holds a attitude towards credit cards.
Task 4
Directions：Read the following passage and complete the outline below it (No．41 through No. 45).You should write your answers briefly on the answer sheet correspondingly.
During the holiday break, I finally got around to a promise I made to my mom and dad—to remotely access their PC—to help troubleshoot problems or questions they have about their Dell laptop.
A while ago, I download GoToMyPC on my, computer, which allows you to access your computer from any other computer. The other day, my mom logged into my account, which brought her to a \"My Computers\" page of a three-PC account. She clicked on \"enable this computer,\" to install the GoToMyPC software. Within minutes, I saw her computer listed on the\" My Computers\" page; clicked on it, and her computer home page popped up in a. window on my screen.
They're in Florida, I’m in New Jersery, but I could easily replace a toolbar that disappeared from their screen and desktop icons my mom wished she hadn’t cleared away.
I also like that I'll be .able to do some basic maintenance on their computer from my home hundreds of miles away. And if my mom has questions, we can be looking at her computer together while on the phone.
GoToMyPC costs $20 a month for one computer, or $179.40 a year. Two PCs cost $30 a month or $279.40. For each additional PC, it’s $15 a month or $135 a year. But reader and Chris Null have also recommended a free application, Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop; which is part of Windows XP Professional and Media Center.
You need to manually type in the IP address of the host computer. Here’s the Microsoft instructions page if you want to check out this option.
Other reader suggested another free app, LogMeIn, which gets good reviews for providing remote access and file sharing between computers．If you’ve used either free remote access option, let us know how it's worked out．

Part V Writing
Task 1 Summary Writing
Directions： This Part is to test your ability to do basic academic writing. You are required to read the
following passage and then write a summary of 80 words about what you have read. The summary must be written on the Answer Sheet.
Up to now, historians have assumed that calendars came into being with the advent of agriculture,
for then man was faced with a real need to understand something about the reasons. Recent scientific evidence seems to indicate that this assumption is incorrect.
Historians have long been puzzled by dots, lines and symbols which have been engraved on walls,
bones, and the ivory tusks of mammoths. The nomads who made these markings lived by hunting and fishing during the last Ice Age which began about 35,000 B.C. and ended about 10,000 B.C. By
correlating makings made in various parts of the world, historians have been able to read this difficult code. They have found that it is connected with the passage of days and the phases of the moon. It is, in fact, a primitive type of calendar. It has long been known that the hunting scenes depicted on walls were not simply a form of artistic expression. They had a definite meaning, for they were as near as early man could get to writing. It is possible that there is a definite relation between these paintings and the
markings that sometimes accompany them. It seems that man was making a real effort to understand the seasons 20,000 years earlier than has been supposed.

It is commonly held that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol can reduce the odds of having a deadly heart attack．More noteworthy benefits to the heart have occurred when people have three to seven drinks per day. But doctors advise against that because heavy drinking
7
is associating with a host of problems．Dr. Pekka Karhunen，of the 11. University of Tampere in Finland，said previous1y reports revealed that 12. one or two alcoholic drinks per day could help fend off heart disease．
That appeared to have been“overestimated.”Of his study, released for 13. the American Heart Associations annual meeting, Karhunen said in an interview that \"there is no danger in one or two drinks per day, but the
benefit is quite high．”The heart association advises that alcohol，if 14. consumed at all, limited to one drink per day for women and two per 15. day for men. The drinks include beer; wine or liquor: Karhunen and his
colleagues choose 700 Finnish men who had died between the ages of 16. 33 and 70．The researchers interviewed family member about the 17. deceased men's drinking habits and then studied alcohol’s affect on 18. their blood vessels．The scientists found that having few than three 19. drinks per day did not reduce the progress of any heart disease and
only \"slightly”，minimized the chance of having a fatal heart attack. But
the more people drank, the more like they were to have suffered a fatal 20. heart attack． keys:
