Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage only once.

Good afternoon, everybody.? I'm pleased to be here with you, graduate of 2007.? I'm a career counselor and students often approach me with concerns about their future.? You see, we are living in a society of great changes with the presence of advanced technology.? The process of getting a job in today's world has changed for the majority of the US population.

Well, how can you use new technologies to help you?? First, let's look at how you find a job.? The traditional method of hunting for a job in the past required first doing research on jobs that were available in your field, typically by looking in newspapers, periodicals and magazines, as well as TV ads and making phone calls to prospective employers.? Then you decided where and for what post you are going to apply.? Put your resume with a cover letter in a stamped envelope and waited anxiously for someone to get back to you.

Well, today, maybe the job search and application process are very much the same but the tools used are much more advanced and they required more skills and expertise.? In fact, technology has not so much changed the process as enhanced it.? The benefit both for the employer and employee is that this makes the search more open to people of different social-economic background all over the world.? But as more people are involved, it becomes more competitive for the applicant than it ever was before.

The secret to preparing yourself for the working world today is learning these new and ever-changing tools and combining them with the older methods people have been using for years.? For example, on the internet, you can search for employment not only in your own city but also in your state, in your country, and even other countries.? You can copy information from a webpage and paste it into a Microsoft word document that's easy to access and edit at any time.? In many ways, it's easier now.? Just type your job application, click and send it through email.? It gets there in an instant.

SD 部分簡(jiǎn)要分析：
此次聽(tīng)寫(xiě)填空部分難度偏低，語(yǔ)速也比較慢，根據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì)達(dá)到 127WMP ，較之考綱 150WMP 的要求還是有一些差距的，加之其主題比較簡(jiǎn)單，也是廣大考生比較熟悉的工作場(chǎng)景（這一場(chǎng)景在我們上海新東方的口譯課堂上已經(jīng)反復(fù)提及，并且作為重點(diǎn)要求大家掌握了），應(yīng)該說(shuō)是近年來(lái)比較容易的一篇文章。

顯而易見(jiàn)，文中的說(shuō)話(huà)人是一個(gè)職業(yè)咨詢(xún)師（ career counselor ），專(zhuān)門(mén)為廣大畢業(yè)生解決就業(yè)問(wèn)題提供咨詢(xún)。她首先比較了過(guò)去和現(xiàn)在找工作的不同之處，進(jìn)而指出在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)中，找工作的過(guò)程需要更多的技術(shù)含量，使用到很多技術(shù)手段和方法。而這些技術(shù)本身與其說(shuō)是改變了找工作的進(jìn)程，不如說(shuō)是提高了找工作的效率，透明度，當(dāng)然，同時(shí)也使得就業(yè)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)變得更為激烈。

這位咨詢(xún)師提出的意見(jiàn)是結(jié)合新老方法，到網(wǎng)上搜索信息，編輯、整理、并且發(fā)送自己的簡(jiǎn)歷。
