Question

4．When you're an employee of a company，no matter the size，it's common to see co-workers promoted，or transferred to a different department．But there is another way to move around-by creating a new position for yourself．I did this several years ago，though I wasn't actively looking for a different job．
In 2007，I was hired at the Transamerica Life Insurance Company，as a customer service representative in the distributions services department．I processed requests for distributions from our annuity（養(yǎng)老金）policy holders around the country．Someone might have forgotten to sign a form，for example，or might have omitted security information．To solve the problem，I'd mail the person a letter．
The company had been through several combinations，so in our department alone we had a collection of about 140 templates（模板） for letters related to distributions．The longer I worked with the letters，the more I saw how they could be improved．Some had overlapping information and could be combined．Some had incorrect grammar or needed updating．I also noticed that industry terminology（專業(yè)術(shù)語） wasn't standard across all the versions．
When I told my department supervisor about this in 2008，she agreed that the letters needed revamping．She said I should stop what I'd been doing and start the new work．In a relatively short time，I was able to make numerous improvements and reduce the number of letters to 70．It was an informal job change until a managers'meeting several months later．
At that meeting，a vice president who was unaware of my new work mentioned that the division's entire stock of 1，700 letters should be reviewed．My manager told her that she knew the perfect person for the job-me．The position was still considered temporary when I took on the extra tasks，but I was able to show that the work had value，and I was officially promoted and given a raise in November 2009．

解答 31-35DBACC
31：D   細(xì)節(jié)題．由第一段第一句"When you're an employee of a company，no matter the size，it's common to see co-workers promoted，or transferred to a different department．"可知看到我們周圍的人換工作是非常普遍的，正確答案為D．
32  B   細(xì)節(jié)題．由第三段最后"Some had overlapping information and could be combined．Some had incorrect grammar or needed updating．I also noticed that industry terminology（專業(yè)術(shù)語） wasn't standard across all the versions．"可知沒有提到信息被忽略這一條，正確答案為B．
33：A  猜測(cè)詞義題． 由上文作者說信件有很多錯(cuò)誤可以推斷出部門主管是叫作者整理這些信件，改善這些信件的狀況，因此 revamping 應(yīng)該意為"改善"，所以A項(xiàng)正確．B項(xiàng)"重建"，C項(xiàng)"重復(fù)"，D項(xiàng)"加強(qiáng)"，均不符合文意，故正確答案為A．
34   C   細(xì)節(jié)題．由最后一段第一二句"At that meeting…1，700 letters should be reviewed．My manager told her that she knew the perfect person for the job-me．"可知作者是在公司會(huì)議上被叫去做信件審查工作的，故正確答案為C．
35  C  主旨題．由文章第一段第二句"But there is another way to move around-by creating a new position for yourself．"和文章內(nèi)容可知，作者為自己創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)新的職位從而獲得了提升，C項(xiàng)符合文意，所以C項(xiàng)正確．A項(xiàng)"有志者事竟成"，B項(xiàng)"不要讓機(jī)會(huì)溜走"，D項(xiàng)"獲得提升的方法"，均不符合文意，故正確答案為C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
