写给个人的备忘录：范例：你是一家IT公司的人力资源部经理。你打算请Cooway公司为你安排一次为期两天由10人参加的团队组建培训。 √ 给你的助理写一个字数为40－50的备忘录： √ 告诉她与培训项目主办者取得联系。 √ 说明项目的参加人员和持续时间。 √ 安排两个可以利用的周末

提示： 1）按照英语备忘录的谋篇习惯，一般直接进入主题，不需要寒暄和问候等客套。 2）看清角色要求，把握好文体。作为经理，给助手写备忘录，行文问题不能太正式，宜直呼其名，而不必套用Mr.或Mrs.等称呼。通用，结尾处也无须客套，署名也只需要写名，不需要写姓。

Part 2 Driving eastwards Step 1 Reading Language Points:
要点解析 1. Driving eastwards: 题目选词可谓独具匠心。本文谈的是汽车的事，因此 driving eastwards 可以是驱车东行，但其真正的含义是向东进发，开拓市场，将汽车制造业及其销售市场移至东欧各地。 2. but he would earn around eight times as much … 句中 would + 动词原形earn , 表示与现在事态相反的情况，而不是过去将来时。例如：If I were to tell him all I know, he would be amazed. 如果我把我知道的告诉他，他会很吃惊的（事实是：“我“并没有这么做）。As much : (在此) 同样数量。例如：He has 50 Yuan, and I have as much. 他有50 元钱，我也有这么多。

Exam focus: Vocabulary 聚焦考试：词汇
Unit 3 Exam focus: Vocabulary 聚焦考试：词汇

Objectives To provide Ss with useful strategies for coping with unknown vocabulary To present useful ways of organizing and storing new vocabulary

Vocabulary in the examination
要点解析 1. 由词根加前、后缀产生的词汇叫派生词，同一词根加不同的词缀可以表示不同的意义或词类。由前缀加词根构成的派生词通常只改变词义而不改变词性（少数例外）。词根加后缀改变词性，词汇意义也略有改变。 2. 在名词或形容词的词尾加-ise 或-ize 同-ise 可将名词或形容词变为动词，所以，global （形容词、全球的）；globalise/globalize (动词、使全球化)；standard (名词、标准)；standardise / stardardize (名词、使标准化)。因此，课文第一行准确的说法应是Adjective/ Noun to verb, 而不是Noun to verb. 3. 将形容词变成名词时可在词尾加 –ity/ ty 如：loyal___ loyalty, royal____ royalty. 但是，当形容词以-e 结尾时，应去掉-e, 加-ity, 如 diverse____ diversity.

Vocabulary in the examination
4. 将形容词变成副词时，通常是在形容词尾加上-ly。例如：natural_____ naturally, quick___ quickly, common _______ commonly. 但是，当形容词以-y 结尾时，在加-ly 之前应先变y 为I, 例如：heavy ______ heavily, busy _____busily. 当形容词以-le 结尾时，去e 加y 即可，例如：simple ___simply, reasonable _____reasonably. 5. 课文提到的这些加前、后缀的构词法法对我们帮助积累和扩大词汇量很有用，必须熟记。但是在运用时，还是要多与字典核对，不可想当然，以免出错。比如，将动词变成表示执行这个动作的人（物）的名词时，可在该动词后加-er或-or, 如：worker, investor; 又如，以r开头的形容词通常以加前缀ir-的方法表示其否定意义，如：rational _____ irrational, regular _____irregular. 但是，我们还可以看到下面这些例外的现象：reasonable ______ unreasonable, realistic ________ unrealistic. 所以，到底怎么用，对初学者来说，还应该通过查字典来确定。

T gives an overview of the Listening Test. Before you listen Ss read the listening tips. Ss look at some exam questions to practise predicting vocabulary before listening. While listening T takes Ss through information about first and second listenings.

The Listening Test After listening
Ss read post-listening tips then find mistakes in candidates' answers. Exam practice Part One: Multiple-choice (short texts). Part Two: Gap-filling (numbers and a spelling). Part Three: Gap-filling (words and a date). Part Four: Multiple-choice (longer text).

The Listening Test 要点解析
1. Which bar chart show the sales of Solex Ltd? 题目问的是：哪一个矩形图能说明Solex 公司的销售情况。 Which signs are the speakers talking about? 题目问的是说话人说的是哪一块招牌。听录音之前，根据题目内容提供的信息进行答案预测很重要，也是考生应该掌握的一种听力技巧。除了根据题目内容，还应该凭借自己的经验和常识进行预测。比如，生活中人们常用各种图形表示工作进展的情况。看到bar charts （矩形图），应该想到 increase, rise, go up (增长提高)，fall, drop, go down (减少下降) 和 strong, sharply, steadily, slow 等相关的形容词,副词。所以，与矩形图A 有关的词汇可能是：increase/rise slightly, fall/drop sharply, 与矩形图B 有关的词汇可能是：rise/increase steadily, steady rise/increase, 与矩形图C 有关的词汇可能是：fall/drop sharply, recover strongly same level.

The Listening Test 告示牌的作用在于提醒，而告示牌A : Life out of order (电梯出故障) 涉及的词汇可能是：elevator, not working, break down, stairs, stuck (电梯，出故障，楼梯，被堵了)，告示牌B: canteen closed due to staff illness (食堂因员工生病而关闭) 涉及的词汇可能是：food unavailable, sick, out to a restaurant, eat something else (不供应食物了，生病了，去外面的餐馆，弄些其他东西吃)，告示牌C: Quiet please exam in progress (请安静，正在考试) 涉及的词汇可能是：silence, take a test, candidates (安静，考试，考生)。预测使我们心中有数，帮助我们提高听的效率。

The Listening Test 要点解析这些在试卷上的答题的错误都是没有按照指令要求所致。例如：
1 第十六题未做，可被视为没有按要求完成所有的试题，不得得分。 2 指令规定在标有数字得空白处填入一至二个单词，而第十七题填写得字数超过了要求。这也视不能给分的。 3 第33 题给出了两个答案，也属不符合要求的做法，不能给分。

相关背景知识欧元概念的由来及欧元区 1999年诺贝尔经济学奖获得者蒙代尔在20世纪60年代提出了“最适货币区”概念。他认为，一个国家不一定要有自己的一套货币，而由几个国家采取联合的共同货币也许更有利—这一思想促成了欧元的诞生。欧盟成员国在1992年9月于马斯特里赫特签署的《欧洲联盟条约》中做出实行单一货币的决定。该条约所附的议定书允许英国和丹麦游离于单一货币体系之外。1995年12月15日至16日在马得里召开的欧洲理事会上，15个成员国的首脑一致决定将欧洲单一货币定名为“欧元”，并通过推行实施欧元的最后方案

欧洲货币联盟11个成员国从1999年1月1日开始实施欧元统一货币，这十一个国家分别是：比利时、德国、西班牙、法国、爱尔兰、意大利、卢森堡、荷兰、奥地利、葡萄牙和芬兰。希腊于2001年1月1日采用欧元，成为欧元区第十二个成员国。其余三个欧盟国家丹麦，瑞典和英国目前不参与此进程。 Millennium bug 千年虫（电脑问题）。20世纪六七十年代，当时用于存储信息和运行程序的设备的价格极其昂贵，因此，科技人员在开发计算机程序和设计智能芯片的时候，总是想尽一切办法节省存储空间，在日期表示问题上也不例外。科技人员发现，采用两位数字来表示年份是最合适的，而且节省了昂贵的存储设备。由于系统中采用两位数字表示年份，造成系统不能正确跨越2000年，致使关于年份的操作发生错误，使得系统产生各种问题。我们把这种现象叫做“2000年问题”，也叫“千年虫”电脑问题。

The Speaking Test 改型后的第二部分（约5 分钟）的程序是：1、①考生拿到题卡后有一分钟的准备时间，允许做简单的笔记。②考生甲从题卡上的话题中任选一个，做大约一分钟的陈述。③考官就考生甲陈述的话题向考生乙提问，乙必须做出回答。④考生乙做大约一分钟的陈述。⑤考官就考生乙陈述的话题向考生甲提问，甲必须做出回答。第二部分的信息内容涉及各种商业活动。第三部分（约5分钟）由考生就题卡上的指定的话题当场进行讨论。考生有30分钟的时间阅读提示词各自进行准备，然后讨论3分钟。考生应利用所给的时间消化题卡上的信息，迅速理清表达的思路。

The Speaking Test 2. 在正式的初级口试时，主持口试的考官根据考生的表现，按总体评分标准给每位考生打一个Global Achievement（总体分）。专事评分的考官则根据以上四个要点，分Grammar and Vocabulary（语法与词汇），Discourse Management (话语运用)，Pronunciation(语音)，Interactive Communication(互动交际)四个方面每个考生分项评分。具体衡量标准如下： Grammar and Vocabulary 语法与词汇：主要测试考生在口头表达中语法和词汇运用是否正确、得体并丰富多样。避免词汇和句型单一或不断重复相同的词句。

The Speaking Test Discourse Management 话语运用：主要测试考生运用句子以上语言单位进行口头交际的能力。包括能否恰当的展开话题，语句是否连贯、流畅（如在提出观点的同时，能进行有条理的论证，善于使用衔接词语等）。在口试第一部分问答题中，考生需尽量完整地回答考官提问；在口试第二部分个人发言中，考生可充分利用机会扩展话语；在口试第三部分讨论中，要求考生围绕规定题目，表达、论证自己的观点。 Pronunciation 语音：主要测试考生清晰发音的能力。根据各个单音、单词及句子重音、语调节奏的正确性打分。考生要特别避免母语口音给交际带来的困难。 Interactive Communication 互动交际：主要测试考生在两人或三人小组中相互合作、有效交际的能力。打分依据主要看考生是否有能力恰当得体的主动引入话题，应答自如，轻松转换话题，充分参与讨论，最终圆满完成题目要求。需要注意的是，考生要避免在口语中表现的咄咄逼人，不给对方流有谈话机会；有效的交际应该注意在话语的产出和接受之间能够轻松转换。

要点解析 1.package holiday: 团队旅游，指由旅行社安排一切的包价旅游。 2.vale: 谷，山谷，尤用于地名。如：the Vale of Evesham 艾弗沙姆谷。 3.Working closely with the marketing director, you will help...现在分词短语作伴随状语，修饰动词will help. 4.travel industry: 旅游业，也叫 tourist industry. 5.A second European language would also be an advantage. 句中的would 表示推测或可能。

要点解析（听力录音文字稿） 1.Have you given any more .thought to taking on an assistant in marketing. 你想过要招聘一个营销助理吗？take on 的意思是：雇佣。例如： the company is taking on workmen. 这家公司正在招工。 2.Why can’t we try something different for a change? 我们为什么就不能改变一下，试试别的方法呢？ 3. If we decided to take someone on, where would we advertise the vacancy? 要是我们决定招人，在哪里为空缺的职位刊登广告呢？If we advertised the job internally, we’d have the same old problems. 如果我们在内部为这份工作做广告，我们又会遇到同样的问题。在这两句中，if 从句是一个假设条件句，表示非事实的意义。录音材料中其他if 从句具有相同的功能。

要点解析假设条件句也叫非真实条件句，在表示不同意义的时候，假设条件句中动词有不同的形式。本单元出现的假设条件句表示的均是与现在事实相反的情况，当从句表示与现在事实相反的条件时，从句动词用一般过去时或were-型虚拟式，主句动词用would/should/could/might+ 不定式原形。例如： 1.If we promoted one of own people, the other internal applicants wouldn’t be happy anyway.如果我们从自己的员工中选拔人，公司内部的其他申请人将会不开心的。

2.If I were you, I should go to see a doctor. 我要是你的话，我会去看医生的。 3.If I lived in that city now, my life might be different in a number of ways. 如果我现在住在那个城市，我的生活可能会有多种不同的方式。 4.If we took someone on from outside the company, we could bring some new ideas into the department. 要是我们从公司外面聘人的话，我们可以给部门带进新的观念。

要点解析（听力录音文字稿） My department as part of my degree but isn’t as good as my English or Italian. 法语是我的学位课程的一部分，不过我的发语不如我的英语和意大利语。 I did French as part So, that’s reasonable French. 这么说，法语还不错。Reasonable 在此的意思是：not bad 还不错。 You’re not the only one.这句话的意思是：You’re not only the one who needs to practice a bit more. 你不是唯一需要多来练习的人。 I still use two fingers! 我还在用两个指头敲键盘呢。熟练的键盘打字技术要求用十个指头敲键盘，并按照一定的指法规定操作。“用两个指头敲键盘”，暗含说话人自己的技法也不怎么样。

要点解析间接疑问句属于间接引语的一种形式。间接引语涉及面较广，本小节仅对将直接疑问几变成间接疑问句的情况作简要介绍。一般疑问句变为间接引语时通常以 whether 或 if 为引导词，但选择疑问句变为间接引语时，只用whether 作引导词。例如： Does Alec work downtown? ____ Can you tell me whether/ if Alec works downtown? 或He asked whether/if Alec worked in your office? Is the door open or closed? ___________ Can you tell me whether the door is open or closed. 而由特殊疑问句转换的间接引语通常以wh- 词为引导词。例如： Why do you come so late? _________ Mary wanted to know why he came so late. How did you repair it? _________ My boss asked me how I had repaired it.

见解引语在多数情况下构成宾语从句。宾语从句中动词的时体形式、人称代词、指示代词、时间状语和地点状语及主谓词序等往往要作相应的变化。请看下表：在直接引语中在间接引语中指示代词this these that those 时间状语now today yesterday last weektomorrownext weektwo years agothenthat day the day before the week before the next daythe next yeartwo days before地点状语herethere动词时态一般现在时现在进行时现在完成时一般过去时过去完成时come may must一般过去时过去完成时过去完成时过去完成时过去完成时（不变）could might must/had to 动词的变化come bring go take
