Preparation is the key to success for any business traveler —whether you are an experienced traveler or beginner traveler. Here are my suggestions for preparing for any business trip.Before traveling, research your travel destination and take advantage of free time you may have. On a recent trip to New Haven, I had a few free hours to myself before my plane departed. Ahead of time, I researched a few good restaurants that I wanted to try.I downloaded a Yale walking tour to my cell phone so I could see the campus and take pictures. You may have friends or relatives close to your travel destination. Take their information in case you have an opportunity to see them. Often, business trips are too busy for you to do anything besides going to work, going to dinner, and sleeping. However, sometimes you may have delays or cancellations. You should also check the weather. It may be nice when you are departing for your trip. The weather on your return trip may be a whole other story.There are a few other things to keep in mind when you go on trips. Traveling on the company can be a great way to see theworld. It's not a vacation. Business trips can be exhausting! If you are going on a trip for training, you will probably have a few hours of free time each night. You can take this opportunity to know more people. Later you can go back to your hotel room to do work. You could also take advantage of sporting events, shows, or music in the area. With everything well planned, the business travel will be part of your sweet memory.6._____ need preparations for a business travel.A) Only those having their first business travelsB) Only those traveling less than once a monthC) Both first-time travelers and experienced travelersD) All except very experienced travelersScript: _____ need preparations for a business travel.正确答案：C学生答案：C得分：2分7.What did the speaker do before traveling on a recent trip to New Haven?A) The speaker found information about restaurants.B) The speaker called some friends there.C) The speaker took pictures of the airport.D) The speaker booked the return ticket.Script: What did the speaker do before traveling on a recent trip to New Haven?正确答案：A学生答案：A得分：2分8.You should check the weather because _____.A) the trip will be cancelled if the weather is badB) the weather on your return trip may be very differentC) you cannot play if the weather is not goodD) you will have to stay a few more days if the weather is not good Script: You should check the weather because _____.正确答案：B学生答案：B得分：2分9.Which is TRUE about a business trip?A) It is a great vacation.B) It is a good opportunity to train yourself.C) It is not expensive.D) It is exhausting.Script: Which is TRUE about a business trip?正确答案：D学生答案：D得分：2分10.You can _____ with the free hours on a business trip.A) go to another cityB) have a vacationC) go shoppingD) listen to musicScript: You can _____ with the free hours on a business trip.正确答案：D学生答案：A得分：0分Passage TwoQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard. Script: Passage TwoSituated in Utah State, the Bryce Canyon is one of the National Parks in the United States of America. It attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. Now there is a story about it.Before there were any Indians, the Legend People lived in that place. They were of many kinds —birds, animals, lizards, and such things — but they looked like people. For some reason, the Legend People in that place were bad. Because they were bad, they were turned by gods into rocks. You can see them in that place now: some standing in rows, some sitting down, some holding on to others. You can see their faces, with paint on them just as they were before they became rocks. This is the story told by some people. But to the pioneer Ebenezer Bryce, the Canyon that now bears his name was something totally different.In 1875, Ebenezer Bryce was 45 years old. He traded his home in Pine Valley, Utah, for some cows and moved to the warmer climate of the upper Paria Valley, hoping that his wife's health would improve. Since he could find no water in the place, he dug ditches to bring it from the Paria River to his farm. To get fire wood from the forest to his farm, he built a road. Among the residents who used the road, the canyon became known as Bryce's Canyon.Bryce left the valley in 1880 and moved to Arizona. Perhaps the climate was not warm enough, or maybe he found a better place to settle down. But he left the valley a little more habitable than when he came, and he left the canyon with the name it still bears today.11.What is the Bryce Canyon named after?A) A person.B) An animal.C) A god.D) A river.Script: What is the Bryce Canyon named after?正确答案：A学生答案：A得分：2分12.According to a story, _____ lived in the Bryce Canyon before the Indians.A) wild animalsB) the Legend PeopleC) birdsD) godsScript: According to a story, _____ lived in the Bryce Canyon before the Indians.正确答案：B学生答案：B得分：2分13.When was Ebenezer Bryce born?A) In 1830.B) In 1845.C) In 1875.D) In 1880.Script: When was Ebenezer Bryce born?正确答案：A学生答案：A得分：2分14.Ebenezer Bryce moved to warmer climates because _____.A) he wanted to live in a new placeB) he wanted to feed his cowsC) he had lost his houseD) he wanted to improve his wife's healthScript: Ebenezer Bryce moved to warmer climates because _____.正确答案：D学生答案：D得分：2分15.What change did Ebenezer Bryce bring to the valley?A) More animals could be found.B) Gold was found.C) The place became more habitable.D) The climate became colder.Script: What change did Ebenezer Bryce bring to the valley?正确答案：C学生答案：C得分：2分Part II Oral Tasks ( 3 minutes )Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear several conversations.
