Chap 1 簡介

TOEIC 的讀書計畫

考前的學習

• 律地自習。要是不養成一個規律的時間表，便無法養成一個好的讀書習慣。
• 不要囫圇吞棗。
• 控制時間。TOEIC 是一個有時間限制的測驗，必須有效率地利用時間。
• 安排自己的讀書計畫表。把計畫表明確列出來，會比較容易遵行。
• 養成聽英文的習慣。增進英文聽力最好的辦法就是不停地聽英文，

  當你聆聽英文的同時，問問自己以下的問題：誰在說話？他們在對誰說話？他們在說什麼？他們在哪裡？他們說話的目的是什麼？

  回答這些問題時，你的聽力也逐漸強化當中。

• 養成閱讀英文的習慣。增進英文閱讀能力最好也最簡單的方法就是不停地閱讀。

  留意報章雜誌上的文章、廣告、圖表、公告等，閱讀所有你能找到的東西：徵人廣告、訓練計畫表、旅館登記表格等。

  同樣地，在閱讀的同時，問問自己問題。本書後面提到的 PSRA 攻略法能夠幫助你增進閱讀能力，不論在 TOEIC 測驗或任何時候。

• 單字記錄。不要大費周章想從單字表上記單字，這樣得到的效果並沒有比從文章內容去記單字來的好。
• 確認目標。
• 養成積極樂觀的態度。在你踏入考場之前，你必須帶著積極樂觀的態度。

  每晚在你睡著之前 (此時右腦的接受力最高)，復誦以下句子十遍：I understand English very well, and I will score very high on TOECI

  潛意識的效果是非常有力的，假如你堅信自己一定能成功，那麼你成功的機率就越大。

• 放輕鬆。不要太擔心考試，當你的心情越平靜，腦子的接受力就越高。不論考前、考中，尤其考後，記得保持平靜、放輕鬆。

本書的使用

• 熟悉 TOEIC 的題型及指示。仔細閱讀本書中所有的指示，裡面包含了許多資訊及建議有利於你提高分數。
• 做模擬試題。利用解說篇來幫助你找出弱點。
• 有效率地學習。當時間有限制的時候，將注意力集中在你真正必須複習的地方。
• 學習使用攻略法。本書列出許多能幫你得高分的攻略法。攻略法就是一種可以讓你更輕易解題的技巧，無論是在聽力或閱讀部分。
• 複習所有可能會造成困惑的地方。明白必須在聽力及閱讀部分中找尋什麼樣的線索。必須學會分辨錯誤的答案。
• 勤做演練題、總複習題及迷你測驗。
• 解說篇的運用。在本書第六章中，所有演練題、總複習題、迷你測驗及模擬試題的答案都有詳細說明。

  運用這些解說，你就能條理地分析自己的錯誤，以防同樣的錯誤再發生。

• 不要囫圇吞棗。跟隨自己的計畫表，按部就班地學習，並有效率地準備 TOEIC。你可能不需要學習本書中的每一部份，只要專心研讀你最容易犯錯的地方即可，但要每天實行。

考試須知

• 早起。避免在考試當天匆匆忙忙，給自己充裕時間到達考場。
• 舒適。如果可以自己選座位的話，挑一個不會分心的地方，坐在有足夠光線的窗邊，坐在離錄音機較近的地方，假如聽不清楚，一定要告知考場人員。
• 攜帶需要的用品。準備兩三隻 2B 鉛筆及橡皮擦。手錶也是必須的。
• 仔細聆聽指示。即使已從本書知道 TOEIC 測驗指示的模式，仍然必須仔細聆聽指示，聽到自己熟悉的指示可以幫助你放鬆緊張的心情。
• 回答所有問題。即使你不知道答案，你仍應該作答，但試著以邏輯的方式猜題。

  當時間快結束時，在尚未作答的地方，隨意將一個答案塗黑，就算你連題目都來不及看，說不定你就真的猜對了！

• 核對題數。確定你答案紙上的題數與題目本上的題數相符。
• 每道題目只有一個答案。假如你修改了答案，確定擦掉的地方是乾淨的，如果塗黑塗得不完整，記得把它塗黑。不要在答案紙上做任何記號。
• 先回答簡單的問題。在閱讀部分，你可以照著自己的步調答題。

  假如你無法馬上確定答案，你可以跳過去，先回答你會的問題。等到結束此部分的其他問題時，再回到剛剛略過的問題。這樣能幫你爭取更多答題的機會。

• 不要亂了陣腳。在聽力部分，錄音內容的播放會催促你答題，但還是要鎮靜聆聽每一題題目，不要因一題疏失而慌了陣腳。
• 留一點時間。在最後留一點時間來檢查答案，確定你已經回答每一道題。
• 考後的慶祝。好好享受，這是你應得的，慶祝自己的好表現。

聽力部分常見的問題類型

為了能好好準備聽力測驗的 4 個部分，需要提昇以下能力：

Skills Needed	Part Ⅰ	Part Ⅱ	Part Ⅲ	Part Ⅳ
照片問題分析	V
答案選項分析	V	V	V	V
問句形式分析		V	V	V
語言結構分析		V	V	V

照片問題分析 (Analyzing Photographs)

• 當你看著照片的同時，分析照片中的人物，並判定人數、性別、位置、職業等等
• 在照片中根據情境來找尋線索
• 仔細聆聽整個句子的意思，判定哪一個選項最能描述這張照片

Target 1 狀況判斷 (Assumptions)

當你聆聽 TOEIC 測驗時，你必須根據你在照片上看到的景象來做推斷。你必須判斷在你聽到的四個選項中，哪一項的陳述是正確的或可能是正確的。

當其中一個選項陳述是事實，那麼該選項即是正確的答案。

• Problem: 所有答案似乎都是正確的
• Solution: 仔細聆聽整個句子，並判斷哪一個選項的陳述最適合這張照片。
• Example:
  • You will see: (一張照片，一群人穿著白袍在一間擺著各項儀器、藥劑的實驗室裡操作儀器)
  • You will hear:

    (A) The pharmacist serves his customers .

    (B) The technicians are conducting experiments.

    (C) The laboratory animals are in a cage .

    (D) The shelves are empty .

  • Solution:
    • 以下陳述是事實:
      • This is a laboratory.
      • There are bottles on the shelves.
      • There is equipment on the counter
    • 以下的陳述可能是事實，但你無法確定:
      • The people are lab technicians. (The look like technicians, but they could be pharmacists.)
      • The people are students with a teacher. (A teacher may be working with a class, or they may all be employees.)
      • The technicians are doing experiments. (They might be doing experiments, or the might producing some chemical compound.)

Target 2 人物辨識 (People)

你可能必須從照片來辨識人物。你可以從人數、性別、位置、相貌描述、活動、職業等來辨識

• Problem: 人物辨識錯誤
• Solution: 盡可能判定人數、性別、位置、相貌描述、活動、職業
• Strategy: 當你看著照片的同時，試著分析人物，判斷他們的人數、性別、位置、職業等。小心那些似是而非的答案。
• Example:
  • You will see: (一張照片，四個人在一房間看著地圖)
  • You will hear:
  • Solution:
    • 人數: There are four people in the picture.
    • 性別: There are two men and two women in the picture.
    • 相貌描述: On of the men is wearing glasses. The woman on the right is shorter than the other woman.
    • 活動: The group is looking at a map. One woman is pointing to the map. All four people are leaning on the table.
    • 職業: Their profession is unknown. They are looking at and discussing a map. We can assume that they are planners of some sort.

Target 3 事物辨識 (Things)

你可能必須從照片來辨識事物。當你看著照片的同時，試著說出所有你看到的東西名稱。

在 TOEIC 裡，你不需要知道所有與某種特定職業相關的單字、措辭或慣用語。

比如說，你看到一張有人在塑膠工廠工作的照片，你必須知道的一個概括性單字是 machine，而不是 extruder 這個專門術語。

• Problem: 你可能不知道照片中所需描述的事物名稱為何
• Solution: 根據照片中的情境、場合來幫助你辨識事物
• Example:
  • You will see: (一張照片，一家人在客廳裡，父親在看電視、母親在彈鋼琴、小孩子們坐在地上玩耍)

  • Solution: (Words to Find) 從下列各項目中找出照片中所必須用到的字。記著照片中的情境： 一幅家庭中的景象，場所是客廳

    mother father son daughter boy girl man woman parents

    curtains TV TV-stand video-recorder piano sheet-music painting

    plant sweater toys carpet wall door chair

Target 4 動作辨識 (Actions)

你可能必須從照片來辨識動作。當你看著照片的同時，分析各個動作的發生順序，這能幫助你瞭解「現在」發生什麼事

• Problem: 你可能不明白照片裡發生什麼事
• Solution: 利用照片中的情境來幫助你做出判斷，看看在動作發生之前、發生期間及發生之後產生什麼結果。
• Example:
  • You will see: (一張照片，一群工人正把一大型水管吊著放入挖好的溝槽)
  • You will hear:
  • Solution:

    你只能明白你看到的部分：一群工人正把一個輸油管放進壕溝中。

    當然，他們之前必定已經挖好壕溝，但你從照片中看不到，你只能推斷。他們也許會用泥土覆蓋輸油管，但你也無法從照片上得知，你只能推斷。

    做出越多推斷，就越容易回答問題。

    • 過去: The workers removed the earth.
    • 現在: They are laying a pipe.
    • 未來: They will cover the pipe with earth.

Target 5 大致地點辨識 (General Locations)

你可能必須從照片來辨識動作發生大致的地點。當你看著照片的同時，分析所有的線索並判定場所地點。照片中有許多線索可供你辨識。

• Problem: 你可能不知道照片中的動作發生在哪裡
• Solution: 利用照片中的情境來幫助你推斷
• Example:
  • You will see: (一張照片，看起來像是機場海關登機處，上方也有電子看板可以看到登機資訊，一堆旅客排隊等著登機)
  • You will hear:
  • Solution: (Context Clues)

    Security checkpoint, Security officers, Security personnel, Uniformed personnel,

    People with baggage, Man with portable radiophone, Porter with luggage cart,

Target 6 明確位置辨識 (Specific Locations)

  • You will hear
  • Solution: (Prepositions and Phrases of Location)

    above, across, around, at, below, beneath, beside, between, by, close to, far from, in, in back of, in front of, inside,

    near to, next to, on, on top of, outside, over, to the left of, to the right of, under, underneath

增進聽力部分得分的攻略法

照片問題分析

• 看著照片的同時，分析其中的人物，判定他們的性別、人數、位置、職業
• 試著在照片中尋找情境線索
• 仔細聆聽整個句子的意思，並判定那個答案最能描述照片中的景象
• 嘗試分析照片中所有細節
• 嘗試用英語描述那些細節
• 在還沒聽到明顯正確的答案前，所以有答案選項都要認真聽，但如果已經非常確定，那可以不聽之後的選項，把時間用來分析下一張照片
• 如果你不太確定，就先把鉛筆停在最可能的選項，等到聽完全部選項，而沒有別的選擇，就劃記原先那個選項並快速前往下一題

答案選項分析

• 仔細聆聽並尋找情境線索
• 注意答案選項裡、題目中陳述的意思，不要被發音類似、同音異義、相關字給混淆了
• 仔細聆聽尋找表示時間、帶否定意義、比較含意的字
• 注意字序
• 仔細聆聽語氣助動詞，並判定語氣助動詞帶來的影響
• 用自己的方法重述問句，可幫助找到正確答案
• 在最後決定答案前，仔細聽完整個問題與所有答案選項

問句形式分析

• 與人有關的問句通常以 who, what 開頭; 與地點有關的問句通常以 where 開頭; 與時間有關的問句則多以 when, how long 開頭
• 先讀過答案選項，接著做推斷並尋找相關線索

語言功能分析

• 學習辨別條件句，注意 if 及語氣助動詞
• 在問題找尋有關建議、援助提供、請求的字。記住若答案不在答案選項裡，它可能就在題目中。

Part Ⅲ 及 Part Ⅳ 的策略

• 重點在於問題。先看過問題，但不要先看答案選項。仔細聆聽找出答案。
• 注意 Part Ⅳ 的細節有助於推理題和主要論點題的回答。

Example

The new economy has created great business opportunities as well as great turmoil. Not since the Industrial Revolution have the stakes of dealing with change been so high. Most traditional organizations have accepted, in theory at least, that they must make major changes. Even large new companies recognize that they need to manage the changes associated with rapid entrepreneurial growth. Despite some individual successes, however, this remains difficult, and few companies manage the process as well as they would like. Most companies have begun by installing new technology, downsizing, restructuring, or trying to change corporate culture, and most have had low success rates. About 70 percent of all change initiatives fail. The reason for most of these failures is that in their rush to change their organizations, managers become mesmerized by all the different, and sometimes conflicting, advice they receive about why companies should change, what they should try to accomplish, and how they should do it. The result is that they lose focus and fail to consider what would work best for their own company. To improve the odds of success, it is imperative that executives understand the nature and process of corporate change much better. Most companies use a mix of both hard and soft change strategies. Hard change results in drastic layoffs, downsizing, and restructuring. Soft change is based on internal organizational changes and the gradual development of a new corporate culture through individual and organization learning. Both strategies may be successful, but it is difficult to combine them effectively. Companies that are able to do this can reap significant payoffs in productivity and profitability.

• 156. What is the article mainly about?

  (A) Corporate marketing plans

  (B) New developments in technology

  (C) Ways for companies to increase profits

  (D) How companies try to adapt to new conditions

• 157. The word “manage” in paragraph 1, line 6, is closest in meaning to

  (A) correct

  (B) attract

  (C) handle

  (D) regulate

• 158. According to the article, why do so many attempts to change fail?

  (A) Soft change and hard change are different.

  (B) Executives are interested only in profits.

  (C) The best methods are often not clear.

  (D) Employees usually resist change.

• 159. What is soft change based on?

  (A) Changes in the corporate culture

  (B) Reductions in company size

  (C) Relocating businesses

  (D) Financial markets
