Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading
materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36
through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C or D. You should
make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter in the Answer Sheet with a single line

It’s 8:30, time for John to start work. So he turns on his radio. Then he eats breakfast. As he eats, he reads his
e-mail and reviews his to-do list. Then he sits on the sofa and thinks about an article he needs to write. Wait a minute! Radio? Breakfast? Sofa? What kind of work-place is this ? Well, actually it is John’s house, and he is a telecommuter—he works at home, communicating with the workplace through the Internet.
Like John, millions of people—and their employers—are finding that telecommuting is a great way t work.
Telecommuters can follow their own schedules. They work in the comfort of their homes, where they can also look after young children or elderly parents. They save time and money by not traveling to work. Their employers save, too, because they need less office space and furniture. Studies show that telecommuters change jobs less often. This saves employers even more money. Telecommuting helps society, too, by reducing pollution and traffic problems.
Jobs that are suited to telecommuting include writing, design work, computer programming and accounting. If a job involves working with information, a telecommuter can probably do it.
31. From the passage we know that John does his job _____.
A. by telephone B. in his office C. away from home D. through the Internet
32. Which of the following is mentioned as one of the advantages of telecommuting?
A. One can get along well with co-workers. B. One can work on one’s own schedule.
- 2 -
C. One can work for several employers. D. One can enjoy a lot of traveling.
33. The passage tells us that telecommuters change jobs less often and so _______.
A. they can get more work experience B. they will have a longer paid holiday.
C. their employers can save more money. D. their employers will give them a higher pay.
34. The phrase “suited to”(Line 1. Para.3) means ________.
A. acceptable for B. difficult for C. fit for D. bad for
35. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. a new way to work B. John’s working day
C. various workplaces D. the Internet
Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.

Memo
To: All Employees
From: H. E. Larking, President
Date: May 22, 2004

Subject: our New Computer System
During the coming year more and more employees will be asked to participate in the network of our new
computer system. This system is not centered on the use of the computer as a cost reduction tool, but it is used as a
management tool. The new system will be used to handle much larger amounts of information. With the system,
we’ll have more time for the planning and thinking—the basic factors in making our business grow. This growth,
in turn, will create new opportunities for some of you to become managers.
The specific duties of many employees will naturally be affected because of the shift of work, but such
changes will surely result in work that is more challenging.
