The Electronic Office

 

 

What is the electronic office, anyway? So much nonsense is written on this subject daily that it is easy to lose track of what’s important. The authors of The Electronic Office have done a fine job combining the business issues with the technological questions and the practical points. Their book is, as the subtitle says, A Guide for Managers, and well worth reading for office managers who are new to the job and looking for some basic pointers on how to get started. It offers a bit less to experienced office systems planners, who may be familiar with many of the concepts.

 

As the authors say in their preface, “This book has been written to assist managers and other professionals in the transition from a traditionally manual office setting to one that is automated. It is designed primarily for the manager who has little knowledge of the entire concept of the electronic office.”

People and the Environment

Tropical rainforests cover over an area of nearly 3 billion acres, or about 8.3 percent of the Earth’s total land surface. These remarkable forests are shared by some 50 countries on five continents. Biologists believe that rainforests are the home of perhaps half the world’s biotic species, about five-sixths of which have not yet been described and named.

Throughout most of history, rainforests were considered to be remote, inaccessible, unpleasant places, and as a result they were little affected by human activities. In the present century, however, rainforests have been exploited and ruined at a quickening pace, and in the last decade or so, tropical deforestation has become one of the Earth’s most serious environmental problems. The rate of deforestation is spectacular — 51 acres per minute; 74,000 acres per day; 27 million acres per year. More than half of the original African rainforest is now gone; about 45 percent of A

考研应该早动手，早计划

素材通，考研成
                                          ——考研英语应试策略
 

考研英语成功的关键，在于考生阅读的水平。考研英语阅读的关键，在于考生对考研阅读素材的把握，在于对素材的把握程度。在考场上，高分考生拿到试卷时起心里就很轻松，一览全卷，内容了然于胸；低分考生，拿到试卷，就会感到头脑发晕，困难重重。同样考一张卷，为何有如此天差地别的感受，甚至许多英语专业的考生得分并不高？
经历多年的监考、阅卷和辅导后，我认为素材不熟是导致低分考生得低分的最主要原因.不熟素材，就不熟该类型文章的词汇；不熟素材，就不熟该类文章的结构，不熟素材，就不熟该类文章作者的行文方式；不熟素材，就不知道命题者的命题思路。
不熟悉素材，问题多矣！
如何轻松通过阅读关、完型关、翻译关、写作关？关键是全方位掌握素材，素材通，考研成。

决胜考研：全年策划，细致掌控
           ——考研英语应试策略（一）
研究生英语考试考的是学生的“真功夫”，考的是学生的“基本功”。英语如要过关、取得高分，“基本功”不扎实，没有一些“真功夫”是不行的。
所谓“基本功”扎实，就是要全面掌握考研英语对听、说、读、写、译各项的要求，在一年内突破词汇关、听力关、阅读关、写作关、翻译关，不仅如此，考生还要关注高校面试过程中英语口语面试的趋势，要过英语口语关。如何在时间如此紧迫的条件下取得高分，在激烈的竞争中胜出?我认为，考生应未雨绸缪，全年筹划；突破细节，掌控全局。
参加研究生入学考试的考生，一般可以：
突破词汇→全面复习→突破单项→模拟考场
基本功扎实的考生，一般可以：
突破单项→模拟考场
从时间上分，2月至6月，因考研政治大纲每年都有一些变化，考生应集中精力复习英语。在此期间应做好三件事：突破词汇、全面复习、突破单项。
在突破词汇的基础上，考生应全面梳理考研的各项基本要求，全面复习。全面复习过程中首先要熟悉往年真题，以了解考研英语的最新变化(建议使用人大版《历年考

对于考研，同学们应该有一个正确的认识。我们一向认为：考研的成功来自语言知识扎实的基

阅读理解节备选题型
第一节  考纲要求分析与考试重点概述
该题型考查的是考生把握主旨大意，进行概括总结的能力。要求考生为文章中的若干段落选出最恰当的小标题。其实，就是要求考生选出最能概括段落主题或要点的标题。
第一段和最后一段不需要标注小标题。但小标题中有一个多余的干扰项。阅读的量大，阅读的难度也不低。但好处是文章是按逻辑排序的方式给定的，给我们理解全文带来了便利。
该节要求考生有把握文章主旨句和段落主题句的能力。对文章和段落有一定的概括能力。给出了小标题的选项，因此测试难度不大。但如果有一个选项错误会带来连串错误。
