1.?????? Diana is working as a sales-person for an insurance company this summer, it is a tough job and she gets to be outdoors from time to time. But the pay is decent.

本句是個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折題，盡管句子的前半形容Diana在保險(xiǎn)公司做銷售的工作很辛苦，但句子的重心還是出現(xiàn)在but的后面，即報(bào)酬豐厚上。

2.?????? Please don't get annoyed over what I said now. I'm just worried about the delay. In no way do I blame you for what happened. You have tried your best.

本句用in no way的倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)表達(dá)出否定的意味，顯示出說(shuō)話者的態(tài)度并非指責(zé)對(duì)方。

3.?????? Mrs. Green called the after-sale service agency and had her almost-new refrigerator repaired for free because it was still under warranty.

有意思的是，昨天正巧是"三·一五"消費(fèi)者維權(quán)日，這句話描述的就是在under warranty---保修期內(nèi)，消費(fèi)者找售后服務(wù)修冰箱的事情。

4.?????? George is a true pal. He is ready to offer any kind of assistance whenever you are in need. Friends like him are few and far between.

本句出現(xiàn)詞組few and far between，"稀少，很少見"的意思，曾經(jīng)在托?？荚囍谐霈F(xiàn)過(guò)。即時(shí)考生不知道詞組的含義，也能根據(jù)前文的內(nèi)容判斷出來(lái)。

5.?????? Unless the whole production cost could be reduced to a reasonable limit, the company would have to double its budget by next year.

作為條件句的一種，unless句型在歷年考試中出現(xiàn)的并不多。"除非把產(chǎn)品成本降到合理極限，否則明年前公司不得不將預(yù)算翻倍"，也就是說(shuō)，成本降不下來(lái)的話，預(yù)算就必須翻倍。

6.?????? If the goods could not arrive in time for the Christmas rush, good quality and competitive price would mean nothing at all.

圣誕購(gòu)物高峰前貨物到達(dá)不了的話，再高的質(zhì)量和再有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的價(jià)格都于事無(wú)補(bǔ)。這句話還是比較容易理解的。

7.?????? Well, I'm sure we can work something out but it's almost dinner time. May I suggest that we come back tomorrow, say 9 o'clock, to continue the talk?

我們?cè)谏虾Ｐ聳|方的中口聽力課上強(qiáng)調(diào)過(guò)小詞用法的重要性，考生應(yīng)經(jīng)常在詞典上翻閱諸如work, get, take等詞后接不同介詞的意思及用法。本句中詞組"work things out"的意思---解決問(wèn)題。

8.?????? If our products are to compete on the international market, advanced technology is a key element. The higher the technology, the better the products and the greater the competitiveness.

本次考試關(guān)于商務(wù)類的內(nèi)容考得非常多，這句話牽涉到"科技是第一生產(chǎn)力"的問(wèn)題，技術(shù)越高，產(chǎn)品越好，越有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力。

9.?????? The fact that Mr. Parkinson is a high-ranking CEO doesn't mean that he can advise you about finance and investment questions.

句子雖長(zhǎng)，但應(yīng)抓住主干The fact...doesn't mean...，就算是CEO也不一定能給你關(guān)于金融投資問(wèn)題正確的建議。

10.?? In this country, the total number of people over 65 years old is 23 million today, but it will swell to 45 million by the year 2020.

唯一的一道數(shù)字題，即時(shí)出現(xiàn)的數(shù)字不一定每個(gè)都考，但應(yīng)作好筆記。2千3百萬(wàn)和4千5百萬(wàn)，一看就知道是2倍的關(guān)系。
