真题二
Staff Appraisals
A director of the advertising agency owned by tycoon Bob Jacoby
once
grumbled that he wasnt enjoying his work. Jacobys reply was, I dont pay
you
good money to enjoy yourself. If you enjoy working here, you should be
paying me
money. Jacobys sentiments used to be common.(0)____ Happily, things
have
changed.
Most
organisations
now
undertake
regular
staff
appraisals,
at
which
employees
have
the
opportunity
to
discuss
one-to-one
with
their
line
manager
their
ambitions
and
hopes,
their
strengths
and
weaknesses,
their
achievements
and their disasters. But it is worth remembering how new all this is, and
why.
For a start, appraising isnt something many managers do naturally of
their
own accord. They often find appraisals difficult to handle and have to be
made
to carry them out. Appraisal systems have become widespread partly as a
result
of employment legislation, but more particularly because companies have
learned
that such assessments can work to their advantage. (8)......The company
can
improve
its
collective
performance
by
helping
employees
to
improve
their
individual performance.
Managers who use appraisals need to approach them very carefully.
They
should
bear
in
mind
their
own
experiences
of
being
appraised
when
in
junior
positions,
recalling
which
appraisals
were
helpful,
which
were
not,
and
why. In
most cases, their own bosses did their homework, checking out the job
specification, the C.V
. and any previous reports. (9).........As a result, a lot
of time would have been wasted, debating exactly what had happened and
when.
Being prepared and appreciating what it is like to be on the receiving
end
are, indeed, the keys to successful appraising. It is important to begin an
appraisal by giving members of staff a chance to express their own views
about
their performance. (10) ......... Any information gained from colleagues is
normally given in a positive spirit, since nowadays everyone understands
appraisals and appreciates that they are carried out with good intentions.
The atmosphere in the appraisal should be one of positive and open
discussion
about
how
the
employee
is
performing
in
the
company.(11).........Some
individuals will feel unjustly criticised when their boss makes comments
on
their performance. Others will respond fiercely to a critical assessment -
although if they defend themselves passionately, that is no bad thing!
Finally, it is important to regard appraisals as part of a continuing
process.(12)......... Instead, they should be followed up with friendly
questions from time to time, making it clear to employees that new goals
and
strategies suggested in them are to be taken seriously and are to be acted
upon.
If
these
pieces
of
advice
are
followed,
it
is
hoped
that
both
the
employees
and the company as a whole will benefit from the experience.
A However, managers must take great care in this respect.
B
Only
after
that
should
managers
put
forward
their
own
points,
which are
likely to include comments collected from others in the organisation.
C They should not be forgotten as soon as they are over.
D
Like
many
other
aspects
of
free
enterprise,
appraisals
are
an
excellent
example of underlying self-interest.
E Sometimes the appraiser goes too far the other way and fails to
communicate problem areas and scope for improvement.
F If they relied on memory, they probably got things wrong.
G Employees were paid, and they obeyed; if they didnt like it, they
could
leave.
《
Staff Appraisals
》
，员工评价。 文章是讲的对员工进行评价归于
整个公司的意义，以及进行员工评价时应该注意哪些问题。
第八题。第二段讲了评价的好处，对整个公司是有利的。第 八空
前面说公司认识到这些评估是对他们自己有利的。
第八空的后面说公
司可以通过帮 助员工改进个人表现来改进集体的表现。
从前后文的信
息看，这一题应该填入表示评估对公司有 利的句子，没有转折。
D
选
择符合：同自由企业的其他方面一样，评价是潜在私利的杰 出例子。
这里的
underlying
self- interest
可以对应于前面的
work to their advantage
。
第九题。
第三段是讲经理们要小心谨慎的使用评价。
第九空前面
说经理们要记住自己处于底层时被评价 的经历
(bear in mind their own
experiences of being
appraised)
，通常情况下需要查看任职资格、简历和先前的其他报告。
而第九空后面说的是这样会浪费时间，
争论到底发生了什么，
什么时
候发生的 。可以第九空的意思有一定得转折，选
F
：如果他们依赖于
记忆，很有可能把事情弄错 。
Relied
on memory
正好与前面的
checking out the job specification
相对应
;got
things wrong
对应于后面的
a lot
of time would have been wasted
。
Job specification : a written statement about a job that includes a job
description and the skills, experience and personal qualities that sb needs
in
order
to
do
the
job,
used
when
an
organization
is
looking
for
a
new
person for a
job.
第十题，这一题的答案比较明显。前后文内容很一致，还有明显
的连词。
这 一空的前面说在开始评估前给每个员工一个表达对自己表
现看法的机会很重要。
答案是
B
：
只有在那之后经理们才能提出自己
的观点，这个观点可能包括从组织中的其他人那 收集的评论。
After
that
很明显是承接上文的连词，
put forward their own points
可以对应
于前面的
express their own
views
，而
comments
collected
from
others
是
对
应于
后文
的
any
information gained from
colleagues
。
第十 一题。这一段的开头就说评估的气氛要积极、公开。第十一
空的后面说有些人会觉得不公正的被批评了，
还有些人会对批评做出
激烈的反应。可见第十一题有转折的意思。选
A
，however
是个明显
的关键词：经理们必须在这个方面小心。因为一旦不小心，就会出 现
后文所说的那些员工的反应。
第十二 题。这一段是讲的持续评估的重要性。选
C
：他们不能一
结束就被遗忘。前面的
a continuing process
和后面的
should be
followed up
都是关键词。
