Question

4．When you're an employee of a company，no matter the size，it's common to see co-workers promoted，or transferred to a different department．But there is another way to move around-by creating a new position for yourself．I did this several years ago，though I wasn't actively looking for a different job．
In 2007，I was hired at the Transamerica Life Insurance Company，as a customer service representative in the distributions services department．I processed requests for distributions from our annuity（养老金）policy holders around the country．Someone might have forgotten to sign a form，for example，or might have omitted security information．To solve the problem，I'd mail the person a letter．
The company had been through several combinations，so in our department alone we had a collection of about 140 templates（模板） for letters related to distributions．The longer I worked with the letters，the more I saw how they could be improved．Some had overlapping information and could be combined．Some had incorrect grammar or needed updating．I also noticed that industry terminology（专业术语） wasn't standard across all the versions．
When I told my department supervisor about this in 2008，she agreed that the letters needed revamping．She said I should stop what I'd been doing and start the new work．In a relatively short time，I was able to make numerous improvements and reduce the number of letters to 70．It was an informal job change until a managers'meeting several months later．
At that meeting，a vice president who was unaware of my new work mentioned that the division's entire stock of 1，700 letters should be reviewed．My manager told her that she knew the perfect person for the job-me．The position was still considered temporary when I took on the extra tasks，but I was able to show that the work had value，and I was officially promoted and given a raise in November 2009．

解答 31-35DBACC
31：D   细节题．由第一段第一句"When you're an employee of a company，no matter the size，it's common to see co-workers promoted，or transferred to a different department．"可知看到我们周围的人换工作是非常普遍的，正确答案为D．
32  B   细节题．由第三段最后"Some had overlapping information and could be combined．Some had incorrect grammar or needed updating．I also noticed that industry terminology（专业术语） wasn't standard across all the versions．"可知没有提到信息被忽略这一条，正确答案为B．
33：A  猜测词义题． 由上文作者说信件有很多错误可以推断出部门主管是叫作者整理这些信件，改善这些信件的状况，因此 revamping 应该意为"改善"，所以A项正确．B项"重建"，C项"重复"，D项"加强"，均不符合文意，故正确答案为A．
34   C   细节题．由最后一段第一二句"At that meeting…1，700 letters should be reviewed．My manager told her that she knew the perfect person for the job-me．"可知作者是在公司会议上被叫去做信件审查工作的，故正确答案为C．
35  C  主旨题．由文章第一段第二句"But there is another way to move around-by creating a new position for yourself．"和文章内容可知，作者为自己创造了一个新的职位从而获得了提升，C项符合文意，所以C项正确．A项"有志者事竟成"，B项"不要让机会溜走"，D项"获得提升的方法"，均不符合文意，故正确答案为C．
