But weve been in business for twenty years and a lot of our staff have been with us for most of that time and as a result, have experience of things growing at a fast rate. The Dalehouse chain

Mr Dale, however, remains positive. It is true, he says, that we will not be able to finance the plans without some supp
26、ort from the banks, and we are in the process of arranging this at the moment. Most of the money, however, will come from the amount we have kept back from our profits for future investment in the business.

33、lover Unused Vacation Time One of the benefits employees really want is the ability to rollover their unused vacation time 1 you may indeed have some 2 mem-bers who abuse this benefit，the vast majority 3 use their vacation time wisely 4 likely is it that anyone is going to save up months 5 vacation
34、time and then use it all at once? The reality is that your employees have earned those days，and they would like to feel assured that they have 6 in case of an emergencyA short memo 7 them of the importance of using their vacation time wisely should be a sufficient safeguard 8 vacation-time abuse The
35、 bottom line for all employers 9 。that you should be constantly looking for ways to attract and retain quality staff 10 that means a bit of strain 11 your bottom line in the short 12 ，the return on your investment will nevertheless be completely worth it 1.A.WhileB.WhenC.As答案:A第一段第二句话的逗号后面没有任何连接词，再结
36、合本题所给的三个选项可以判断逗号前面的部分应该是一个从句。再看逗号前后说的情况，即“abuse this benefit”(滥用这种福利优惠)与“use their vacation time wisely”(明智地使用他们的假期时间)，它们刚好构成转折关系，所以要选while，因为while可以表示although之意；when用来引导时间状语从句；as用来引导原因状语从句，而且一般放在主句之后。因此，应该选A。2.A.colleagueB.staffC.crew答案:B本题主要让考生判断选项中的哪个词能与member搭配。只有staff能与其搭配，所以应该选B。3.A.oughtB.sha
37、llC.will答案:C本题主要考查对情态动词词义和用法的理解。ought必须与to连用，即ought to表示“应该”之意，用在这里会令上下文不连贯；will表示“将”；shall与will同义，但只能用在I和we的后面。所以C为正确选项。4.A.HowB.WhatC.When答案:A本题考查疑问词的用法。how是疑问副词，可以用来对方式进行提问，或者后面加一个形容词对程度、数量提问；what是疑问代词，用来对主语或宾语提问；when也是疑问副词，对时间状语提问。本题中空格后是形容词likely，所以要用how。因此，A项正确。5.A.duringB.ofC.among答案:B本题考查介词的
38、明确含义。during表示“在期间”，文中“save up monthsvacation time”要表达的是“攒几个月的假期”，也就是把几次该休的假攒到一块儿，如果用during就不符合逻辑了,因为既然前面的几次假都没休息，怎么能说“during vacation time”呢?among表示“在(物体)之间”，of表示所属关系，“的”。因此B项正确。6.A.themB.itC.that答案:A本题考查代词的用法。them是人称代词的宾格形式，用来指代上文提到过的名词的复数形式；it也是人称代词，主、宾格形式相同，用来指代动植物或无生命的物体的单数或不可数名词；that是指示代词，可以放在名
39、词单数前面作限定词，如果单独使用，则用来指示非物质名词。本题处的代词是指代上文的“days”，是复数概念，所以应该选A。7.A.remindsB.remindingC.reminded答案:B做本题时应该先把整个句子读完，这时会发现这句话已经有了谓语“should be”，所以空格处填的一定是非谓语动词，于是A项被排除了。“memo”与“remind”是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词而非过去分词。因此B项正确。8.A.againstB.toC.of答案:A在表示“对的防范措施”时，safeguard后面应该用介词againsl，所以选A。9.A.areB.wereC.is答案:C在选择动词时，要
40、先考虑主谓一致，再考虑时态。第37空所在句子的主语是“The bottom line”，为名词单数，所以可以排除B。本文为说明文，而说明文通常为用一般现在时，再看上下文，可以确定为一般现在时无疑。因此C项正确。10.A.BecauseB.IfC.Although答案:B本题考查关联词的使用。在填关联词时，我们可以先根据上下文确定句子之间的逻辑关系再去挑选选项。但如果很难确定的话，也可以直接把选项分别带进文中试用，然后确定正确选项。本题因待填词相邻较近，先判断句子之间的逻辑关系会有一定困难，所以我们可以直接把三个选项带进文中去试用。because用来引导原因状语从句，带进原文后，我们发现它引导的
41、句子不能与后句构成因果关系，所以应排除。if引导条件状语从句，带进原文后，我们发现逻辑通顺，且符合条件状语从句与主句的时态配合关系应为“主将从现”(即条件状语从句的时态为一般现在时的时候，主句时态应为一般将来时)这个原则，所以该项待选；although引导让步状语从句，带进原文后会发现逻辑不通。因此B项正确。11.A.onB.inC.to答案:A表示“对造成的压力”时，strain后面应该用介词on。12.A.timeB.occasionC.term答案:C此题考查固定短语“in the short term”，意为“从短期来看”。因此选C项。PART SEVENEAP Ltd MEMO To
