Part 7 · 班车时刻调整通知

Transportation ServicesChanges to the Employee Shuttle Service

Questions 6-8 refer to the following notice.

Changes to the Employee Shuttle Service

Beginning September 21, the morning shuttle from Milton Station will depart at 7:35 A.M., fifteen minutes earlier than it currently does. The change is being made because road construction near the Northgate office has recently increased travel times.

The afternoon shuttle will continue to leave the office at 5:45 P.M. However, from September 21 through October 16, it will use a temporary boarding area beside the visitor parking lot. Employees should allow several extra minutes to walk there from the main building.

The revised timetable is available on the company intranet. Employees who purchased a monthly shuttle pass but can no longer use the service because of the schedule change may request a prorated refund from Payroll by September 18.

03 答案精讲

答案在提交练习后核对

题号正确答案考点精讲
1A · regardless固定短语辨析"regardless of"(不管,不顾)本是一个整体短语,但句中已经给出了"of the payment method used",所以空格只需填 regardless 本身;若选 (B) "regardless of" 会造成 "regardless of of the payment method" 重复介词,是本题的陷阱。although(尽管,需接从句)/even(甚至,需搭配 if/though)均不符。
2C · Completed分词状语的语态句子主语是 "the new distribution center",配送中心本身不会主动"完成"这个动作,而是"被完成"(被建成),所以要用过去分词表被动完成:Completed several months ahead of schedule(比计划提前几个月建成)= Because it was completed...;Completing(现在分词,主动)、Having completed(现在完成分词,主动)、To have completed(不定式)均不符合被动语态的语境。
3A · minimum固定搭配"be kept to a minimum"(被控制在最低限度)是描述"将干扰/风险降到最少"的高频固定搭配;shortage(短缺)、reduction(减少,指数量下降本身而非"限度")、limitation(限制,通常指规则上的限制)均不能与 "kept to a" 搭配。
4A · substantial形容词词义辨析"substantial contributions"(大量的、可观的贡献)符合"晋升实至名归"的语境;eventual(最终的,强调时间先后而非程度)、adjacent(相邻的,用于位置)、respective(各自的,需要复数先行词分别对应)均不符。
5C · be reviewed虚拟语气(mandative subjunctive)"on the condition that..."引导的从句表示"以……为条件",属于表达"建议/要求/条件"类的虚拟语气结构,从句谓语用"(should) + 动词原形";又因为"risks"是被审查的对象(风险不会自己去审查),需用被动语态原形:be reviewed。review(主动原形,语态不符)、are reviewing/have reviewed(时态形式,不符合虚拟语气"原形"的要求)均不符。
6B · Construction has made the journey longer.因果细节题对应 "The change is being made because road construction near the Northgate office has recently increased travel times."
7C · The afternoon departure time细节题对应 "The afternoon shuttle will continue to leave the office at 5:45 P.M." —— continue 直接提示"保持不变"。
8A · They must be made before the new timetable begins.推理题日程变更从9月21日起生效,而退款申请截止日期是"by September 18",即必须在新时刻表生效之前提出申请,这是文中未直接言明但可以通过日期先后推断出的隐含信息。

ahead of schedule比计划提前予定より早く

反义:behind schedule(比计划落后)

06 答题技巧

Part 5 + 7 · 6 个技巧

  1. 01
    警惕固定短语与句中已有成分重复

    regardless of 本是整体短语,但如果句子里已经写出了"of",就只能填 regardless,不能整体再填一遍,这是命题人常设的陷阱。

  2. 02
    分词作状语要判断主语与动作的主动/被动关系

    句首分词状语所省略的主语就是主句的主语;若主句主语是"被…"的对象(如建筑物被建成),要用过去分词(Completed)表被动,而不是现在分词(Completing/Having completed)表主动。

  3. 03
    固定搭配整体记忆

    be kept to a minimum 这类固定搭配要整体记忆,不要拆开单独判断某个名词能否搭配。

  4. 04
    形容词词义辨析结合语境

    substantial(大量的) / eventual(最终的) / adjacent(相邻的) / respective(各自的) 词形好记但含义差异很大,要看空格所修饰的名词及句子逻辑。

  5. 05
    on the condition that 引导虚拟语气从句,需判断主被动

    与 recommend/require/insist that 一样,on the condition that 从句要用"(should) + 动词原形",还要注意判断主被动(risks 是被审查,需用 be reviewed)。

  6. 06
    阅读细节/推理题:抓因果词、抓不变提示词、靠日期先后推断

    问原因时回原文找 because/due to 等因果标志词;问"保持不变"时找 continue/still/unchanged 等词;推理题则需要对比文中出现的多个日期(如申请截止日与新规生效日),通过先后顺序推断文中未直接言明的结论。

07 商务英语常用

正式商务书信结构表达

Customers must present the original receipt regardless of the payment method used.无论使用何种支付方式,顾客都必须出示原始收据。支払い方法にかかわらず、お客様はレシートの原本を提示する必要があります。
The project was completed several months ahead of schedule.该项目比计划提前了几个月完成。そのプロジェクトは予定より数か月早く完了しました。
We have taken measures to ensure that disruptions are kept to a minimum.我们已采取措施,确保干扰被控制在最低限度。支障を最小限に抑えるための対策を講じています。
The plan was approved on the condition that risks be reviewed every quarter.该计划获批的条件是每季度对风险进行一次审查。リスクを四半期ごとに見直すという条件で、その計画は承認されました。
