2、an interview with me before I leave. Woman: Ah, an exit interview. Are you looking forward to it? Man: I'm not sure how I feel about it. I resigned because I've been unhappy at that company for a long time, but I'm not sure if I should tell them how I really feel. Woman: To my way of thinking, th

3、ere are two main potential benefits that come from unleashing and agitated stream of truth during an exit interview. The first is release. Unburdening yourself of frustration, and perhaps even anger to someone who isn't a friend or close colleague can be wonderfully free. Man: Let me guess. The sec

4、ond is that the criticism will, theoretically, help the organization I'm leaving to improve, making sure employees of the future are less likely to encounter what I did? Woman: That's right. But the problem with the company improvement part is that very often it doesn't happen. An exit interview is

5、 supposed to be private, but often isn't.?In my company, the information gained from these interviews is often not confidential.?(2)?The information is used as dirt against another manager, or can be traded among senior managers. Man: Now you've got me rethinking what I'll disclose in the interview

6、.?(3)?There is always a chance that it could affect my reputation and my ability to network in the industry.?It is a pretty small industry after all. Woman: Anything you initially gained from the instant satisfaction of telling it like it is, you might lose down the track by injuring your future ca

7、reer prospects. Man: Right.?(4)?Perhaps I would be better getting things off my chest by going to one of those rate-your-employer websites. Woman: You could.?And don't do the interview at all. Exit interviews are not mandatory. ? Q1: What do we learn about the man from the conversation? A) He w

8、ill tell the management how he really feels. B)He will meet his new manager in two weeks. C) He is going to attend a job interview. D) He is going to leave his present job. ? Q2: What does the woman think of the information gained from an exit interview? A) It should be kept private. B) It sh

9、ould be carefully analyzed. C) It can be quite useful to senior managers. D)It can improve interviewees' job prospects. ? Q3: Why does the man want to rethink what he will say in the coming exit interview? A)It may leave a negative impression on the interviewer. B)It may adversely affect his f

11、ployer. D)Pour out his frustrations on a rate-your-employer website. ? Conversation?Two Man: Today, I’m talking to the renowned botanist, Jane Foster. Woman: Thank you for inviting me to join you on the show, Henry. Man: Recently, Jane, you’ve become quite a celebrity,?(5)?since the release of

12、 your latest documentary. Can you tell us a little about it? Woman: Well, it follows my expedition to study the vegetation indigenous to the rain forest in equatorial areas of southeast Asia. Man: You certainly get to travel to some very exotic locations. Woman: It was far from glamorous, to be h

13、onest. The area we visited was accessible only by canoe and the living conditions in the hut were primitive to say the least.?(6)?There was no electricity.??Our water supply was a nearby stream. Man: How were the weather conditions while you were there? Woman: The weather was not conducive to our

14、work at all, since the humidity was almost unbearable. At midday, we stayed in the hut and did nothing.?(6)?It was too humid to either work or sleep. Man: How long did your team spend in the jungle? Woman: Originally, we planned to be there for a month. But in the end, we stayed for only 2 weeks.

15、 Man: Why did you cut the expedition short? Woman: Halfway through the trip,?(7)?we received news that a hurricane was approaching. We had to evacuate on very short notice. Man: That sounds like a fascinating anecdote. Woman: It was frightening. The fastest evacuation route was through river Rapi

16、ds. We had to navigate them carrying all of our equipment. Man:?(8)?So overall was the journey unsuccessful? Woman:?(8)?Absolutely not.?We gathered a massive amount of data about the local plant life. Man: Why do you put up with such adverse conditions? Woman: Botany is an obsession for me. Many

17、 of the destinations I visit have a stunning scenery. I get to meet a variety of people from all over the world. Man: So where will your next destination be? Woman: I haven't decided yet. Man: Then we can leave it for another vacation. Thanks. ? Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation yo

21、f this practice.?In a new study, people exposed to jargon when reading about subjects like autonomous vehicles and surgical robots. Later said they were less interesting in science than others who read about the same topics, but without the use of specialized terms.?They also felt less informed abou

22、t science and less qualified to discuss science topics. It's noteworthy that it made no difference if the jargon terms were defined in the text. Even when the terms were defined, readers still felt the same lack of engagement as readers who read jargon that wasn't explained. ? The problem is that

23、the mere presence of jargon sends a discouraging message to readers. Hillary Schulman, the author of the study, asserts that specialized words are a signal. Jargon tells people that the message isn't for them. There's an even darker side to how people react to jargon.?(10)?In another study, research

24、ers found that reading scientific articles containing jargon led people to doubt the actual science.?They found the opposite, when a text is easier to read. Then. People are more persuaded.?Thus, it's important to communicate clearly when talking about complex science subjects. This is especially tr

25、ue with issues related to public health, like the safety of new medications and the benefits of vaccines.?（11）Schulman concedes that the use of jargon is appropriate with scientific audiences. But scientists who want to communicate with the general public need to modify their language. They need to

26、eliminate jargon. ? Questions nine to eleven are based on the passage you have just heard. ? Q 9: What does the passage say about the use of jargon terms by experts? A) It diminishes laymen's interest in science B)?It ensures the accuracy of their arguments C) It makes their expressions more

27、explicit. D) It hurts laymen's dignity and self-esteem. ? Q10: What do researchers find about people reading scientific articles containing jargon terms? A) They can learn to communicate with scientists B)They tend to disbelieve the actual science C)They feel great respect towards scientists

28、D)They will see the complexity of science ? Q11: What does Schulman suggest scientists do when communicating with the general public? A) Find appropriate topics B)Stimulate their interest C) Explain all the jargon terms D)Do away with jargon terms ? ? Passage?Two At the beginning of the tw

29、entieth century, on the Gulf coast in the US state of Texas, there was a hill where gas leakage was so noticeable that schoolboys would sometimes set the hill on fire. (12)?Patio Higgins, a disreputable local businessman, became convinced that there was oil below the gassy?hill.?Oil wells weren't d

30、rilled back then.?They were essentially dug.?(13)?The sand under the hill defeated several attempts by Higgins’ workers to make a proper hole.?Higgins had forecast oil at 1000 feet, a totally made-up figure. Higgins subsequently hired a mining engineer, captain Anthony Lucas.?(14)?After encountering

31、 several setbacks, captain Lucas decided to use a drill, and his innovations created the modern oil drilling industry. In January 1901,?at 1020 feet, almost precisely the depth predicted by Higgins Wild Gas, the well-roared and suddenly ejected mud and six tons of drilling pipe out of the ground, te

32、rrifying those present.?For the next nine days until the well was capped, the well poured out more oil than all the wells in America combined. In those days, Texas was almost entirely rural, with no large cities and practically no industry. Cotton and beef were?the foundation of the economy.?(15)?H

33、iggins’ well changed that. The boom made some prospectors?millionaires, but the sudden surplus of petroleum was not entirely a blessing for Taxes. In the 1930s, prices crashed to the point that in some parts of the country, oil was cheaper than water.?That would become a familiar pattern of the boom

34、 or bust Texas economy. ? ? Q12:?What did Texas businessmen Patio Higgins believe? A) The local gassy hill might start a huge fire B) There was oil leakage along the Gulf Coast C) The erupting gas might endanger local children D) There were oil deposits below a local gassy hill ? Q13:?What

35、prevented Higgins’ workers from digging a proper hole to get the oil? A) The massive gas underground B)Their lack of the needed skill C)The sand under the hill D)Their lack of suitable tools ? Q14:?What does the passage say about Captain Lucas' drilling method? ? A) It rendered many oil worke

36、rs jobless B)It was not as effective as he claimed C) It gave birth to the oil drilling industry D)It was not popularized until years later ? Q15:?What do we learn about Texas's oil industry boom? ? A)It radically transformed the state's economy B) It resulted in an oil surplus all over the w

37、orld C) It totally destroyed the state's rural landscape D)It ruined the state's cotton and beef industries ? Recording?One Most people dislike their jobs. It's an astonishing but statistical fact, [16]?a primary cause of employed dissatisfaction, according to fresh research, is that many belie

38、ve they have terrible managers.?Few describe their managers as malicious or manipulative, though, while those types certainly exist, they are minority. The majority of managers seemingly just don't know any better. They're often emulating bad managers they've had in the past, is likely they've never

39、 read a management book or attended a management course. They might not have even reflected on what good management looks like and how it would influence their own management style. The researchers interviewed employees about their managers. Beginning with a question about the worst manager they had

40、 ever had. From this, the researchers came up with four main causes of why some managers are perceived as being simply awful at their jobs. [17]The first cause was company culture, which was seen by employees as enabling poor management practices. It was specifically stressful work environments, mi

41、nimal training, and a lack of accountability that were found to be the most blame worthy. Often a manager superiors can effectively encourage a manager's distasteful behavior when they fail to discipline the persons wrong doings. Such workplaces are sometimes described as toxic. The second cause was

42、 attributed to the managers characteristics: those deemed to be most destructive were odd people, those without drive, those allow personal problems into the workplace, and those with an unpleasant temperament or personality in general. The third cause of poor management was associated with their de

43、ficiency of qualifications. Not so much the form of variety one obtains from a university. But the informal variety that comes from credible work experience and professional accomplishments. The fourth course concerned managers who've been promoted for reasons other than potential. One reason in par

44、ticular why these people had been promoted was that they had been around the longest. It wasn't their skill set, or other merits that got them the job, it was their tenure. A point worth making is that the study?[18]?was based only on the perspective of an employee's.?The researchers didn't ask sen

45、ior leaders what they thought of their front-line managers. It's quite possible, their content with how the individuals they promoted are now performing. Merrily ignorant of the damage they're actually causing. Which might explain why, as the researchers conclude, those same middle managers are usua

46、lly unaware that they are a bad manager. ? Question 16: What is a primary cause of employee dissatisfaction according to recent research? A)Unsuitable jobs B)Bad managers C) Insufficient motivation D)Tough regulations ? Question17: What is one of the causes for poor management practices? A)

47、 Ineffective training B)Toxic company culture C) Lack of regular evaluation D)Overburdening of managers ? Question 18: What do we learn about the study on job dissatisfaction? A) It collected feedback from both employers and employees B)It was conducted from frontline managers' point of view

48、 C)It provided meaningful clues to solving the problem D)It was based only on the perspective of employees ? Recording?Two With the use of driver-less vehicles seemingly inevitable, [19]mining companies in the vast Australian desert state of Western Australia are definitely taking the lead. Iron

49、 ore is a key ingredient in steel-making. The mining companies here produce almost 300 million tons of iron ore a year. The 240 giant autonomous trucks in use, in the Western Australian mines, can weigh 400 tons, fully loaded.?And travel at speeds of up to sixty kilometers per hour. They are a techn

50、ological leap, transporting iron ore along routes which run for hundreds of kilometers from mines to their destinations. Here when the truck arrives at its destination, staff in the operation center direct it precisely where to unload. Vast quantities of iron ore are then transported by autonomous t

51、rains to ocean ports. Advocates argue these automated vehicles will change mining forever. It may only be five years before the use of automation technology leads to a fully robotic mine. A range of factors has pushed Western Australia's desert region to the lead of this automation revolution. These

52、 include the huge size of the minds, the scale of equipment and the repetitive nature of some of the work. Then there's the area's remoteness, at 502,000 square kilometers. It can sometimes make recruiting staff a challenge. Another consideration is the risks when humans interact with large machiner

53、y. There are also the financial imperatives. The ongoing push by the mining corporations to be more productive and more efficient is another powerful driver in embracing automation technology. The concept of a fully autonomous mind is a bit of a misleading term, however. This is because the more tec

54、hnology is put into the field, the more people are needed to deploy, maintain and improve it. [20]?The automation and digitization of the industry is creating a need for different jobs.?These include data scientists and engineers in automation and artificial intelligence. The mining companies claim

55、automation and robotics present opportunities to make mining more sustainable and safer. Employees will be offered a career that is even more fulfilling and more rewarding. [21]?Workers' union have accepted the inevitability of the introduction of new technology.?But they still have reservations abo

56、ut the rise of automation technology. Their main concern is the potential impact on remote communities. As automation spreads further, the question is how these remote communities will survive when the old jobs are eliminated? And this may well prove to be the most significant impact of robotic tech

57、nology in many places around the world. ? ? Questions 19 to 21 are based on the recording you have just heard. Question 19: What does the passage say about the mining industry in Western Australia? A) It is seeing an automation revolution B) It is bringing prosperity to the region C)It is yie

58、lding an unprecedented profit D) It is expanding at an accelerating speed ? Question 20: What is the impact of the digitization of the mining industry? A) It exhausts resources sooner B)It creates a lot of new Jobs C)It causes conflicts between employers and employees D) It calls for the retr

59、aining of unskilled mining workers ? Question 21: What is the attitude of workers' union towards the introduction of new technology? A) They welcome it with open arms B)They will wait to see its effect C)They are strongly opposed to it D) They accept it with reservations ? Recording 3 Accor

60、ding to official statistics,?(22)?Thailand’s annual road death rate is almost double the global average.?Thai people know that their roads are dangerous, but they don’t know this could easily be changed. Globally, road accidents kill more people every year than any infectious disease. Researchers at

61、 the institute for health metrics and evaluation in America put the death toll in 2017 at 1.24 million. According to the institute,?(23)?the overall number of deaths has been more or less static since the turn of the century. But that disguises a lot of changes in individual countries.?In many poor

62、countries, road accidents are killing more people than ever before. Those countries have swelling, young populations are fast-growing fleet of cars and motorbikes and a limited supply of surgeons. It is impossible to know for sure, because official statistics are so inadequate. But deaths are though

63、t to have risen by 40% since 1990 in many low income countries. In many rich countries, by contrast, roads are becoming even safer. In Estonia and Ireland, for example, the number of deaths has fallen by about two thirds since the late 1990s.?(24)But the most important and intriguing changes are tak

64、ing place in middle income countries, which contain most of the world’s people.?And have some of the most dangerous roads. According to researchers in China and South Africa, traffic deaths have been falling since 2000. and in India since 2012, and the Philippines reached its peak four years ago. Th

65、e question is whether Thailand can soon follow suit. Rob Mckinney, head of the International Road Assessment Program, says that all countries tend to go through three phases. They begin with poor, slow roads. In the second phase, as they grow wealthier, they pave the roads, allowing traffic to move

66、faster and pushing up the death rate. Lastly, in the third phase, countries act to make their roads safer. The trick, then, is to reach the third stage sooner by focusing earlier and more closely on fatal accidents. How to do that?(25)The solution lies not just in better infrastructure, but in better social incentives.?Safe driving habits are practices which people know they should follow that often don’t. Dangerous driving is not a fixed cultural trait, as some imagine. People respond to incent
