题目与答案

1. 11 What improvement has recently been made to the company s fire notices?
   • Their wording has been simplified.
   • Their visuals are now clearer.
   • They are now more effectively displayed.

   答案：Their visuals are now clearer.

   原文定位：But it was suggested that the maps and diagrams for the evacuation route were a bit confusing, overly complicated. So that's something we've been working on, and that's now met with the inspector's approval

   同义替换：「improvement」↔「we've been working on」，「fire notices」↔「maps and diagrams for the evacuation route」，「clearer」↔「fixed confusing」

2. 12 The health and safety inspectors identified a problem with office
   • layout
   • tidiness
   • seating

   答案：tidiness

   原文定位：The issue here really is about obstruction. People are leaving empty boxes and trays on the floor, and that's basically an accident waiting to happen. So please set up a meeting with your staff and deal with this. It shouldn't be a problem. We had new desks and chairs arrive only two months ago, and the workspace has been designed pretty well

   同义替换：「identified a problem」↔「the issue here really is」，「office tidiness」↔「leaving empty boxes and trays on the floor」

3. 13 What impressed the inspectors with regard to the company s computer screens?
   • how often employees take breaks from their screens
   • how often staff using the screens had eye tests
   • how often assessments of the screens were carried out

   答案：how often staff using the screens had eye tests

   原文定位：One thing the inspectors looked at this time were our computer screens. In case you don't know, the staff member here trained to carry out regular assessment of the screens is Sarah Millington. You know, she's back from maternity leave. The inspectors looked at the records she's been keeping and particularly liked the fact that it was done every month, which is more often than comparable workplaces

   同义替换：「impressed the inspectors」↔「particularly liked the fact」，「how often」↔「done every month」

4. 14 The inspectors agreed with management that protective clothing for staff
   • is currently suitable.
   • requires some adaptation.
   • must be paid for by the company.

   答案：is currently suitable.

   原文定位：However, the inspectors shared our opinion that the clothing is appropriate for the kind of work being carried out, so we'll be retaining the new design

   同义替换：「agreed with management」↔「shared our opinion」，「appropriate」↔「suitable」

5. 15 The inspectors suggested more training is required in
   • identifying hazards.
   • reporting hazards.
   • preventing hazards.

   答案：identifying hazards.

   原文定位：But their recommendation was that we need to provide a bit more instruction on what a hazard actually is so that staff know whether something's a workplace risk or not

   同义替换：「suggested」↔「recommendation」，「identifying hazards」↔「know whether something's a workplace risk」

6. 16 Next month's first aid training course is aimed at staff who
   • have already undertaken a first aid course.
   • are in charge of a particular department.
   • have little previous first aid training.

   答案：have little previous first aid training.

   原文定位：There's another course next month open to anyone with an interest in learning about the basics

   同义替换：「the basics」↔「little previous first aid training」

   同义替换：「facilities」↔「machines」

8. Shapes
   • the location
   • the facilities in the club
   • the membership conditions

   答案：the membership conditions

   原文定位：Shapes has a good reputation, and it's within walking distance of the company offices. They wanted us to commit to a two-year enrollment contract, however, and at this point, we're not willing to do that

   同义替换：「membership conditions」↔「enrollment contract」

9. Jack's Gym
   • the location
   • the facilities in the club
   • the membership conditions

   答案：the location

   原文定位：Then Jack's Gym, apparently it's just been done up and the machines are state-of-the-art. How do people feel about traveling outside of town, though? I doubt that'd work for a lot of staff

   同义替换：「the location」↔「traveling outside of town」

10. Jetts Fitness
    • the location
    • the facilities in the club
    • the membership conditions

    答案：the facilities in the club
