Question

【題目】Many companies today hold meetings to discuss their new plans. As people are paying more attention to the environment problems, more companies are looking for ways to reduce their bad influence on the environment. Many of them achieve this by using web meeting.

Web meeting is a technology that allows people to communicate better over the Internet. It’s an easy way of hosting and attending a meeting. Participants(與會(huì)者) don’t have to leave the office. Each of them will receive an invitation with the meeting time and date on it. When the meeting is ready to begin, they must sit before their computers.

With web meeting, all participants can attend the meeting at their own desks. They don’t need to drive a car to travel to and from the meeting. As a result, no fuel（燃料) is used and less time is taken up in attending a web meeting.

Materials for the meeting are simply e-mailed to all the participants before it begins. Then participants can just read them on the screen. For the company, this not only saves the use of paper but also greatly reduces the mailing cost.

As a meeting hall is not used, the only power for a web meeting is the power that is used by the computers. Besides, organized don’t have to pay for food or accommodation（住宿)for the participants. All this means that less energy is used.

In a word, web meeting is a cheaper, greener, and more friendly way of hosting and attending a meeting. Companies that hold web meetings are willing to work hard for a better environment. So they can more easily find their working partners who have the same green ideas. In return, they develop good relationship with other companies and improve their business.

試題分析：本文介紹了網(wǎng)絡(luò)視訊會(huì)議這一新生事物的特點(diǎn)：它是通過(guò)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)讓人們更好交流的會(huì)議；與會(huì)者不必旅途奔波勞累；會(huì)議的材料經(jīng)濟(jì)環(huán)保；無(wú)需會(huì)議室……這是一種更經(jīng)濟(jì)、更環(huán)保、更友好的組織與參會(huì)形式。

【1】reduce their bad influence/effect，environment problems。句意：許多公司在尋找減少環(huán)境影響的方法，因?yàn)槿藗兏�加注意環(huán)境問(wèn)題了。由第一段中的：As people are paying more attention to the environment problems, more companies are looking for ways to reduce their bad influence on the environment.可知本題填：reduce their bad influence/effect，environment problems。

【2】host and attend，leaving句意：網(wǎng)絡(luò)視訊會(huì)議是一種容易主持及出席的新的會(huì)議形式，與會(huì)者只要坐在電腦前而不要離開(kāi)辦公室。a/the way of doing = a/the way to doing，做……的方法。由第二段中的：It’s an easy way of hosting and attending a meeting. Participants don’t have to leave the office.可知本題填：host and attend，leaving

【3】is saved, mailing cost句意：通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò)視訊會(huì)議，節(jié)約了用紙而且減少了郵費(fèi)開(kāi)支。由第四段This not only saves the use of paper but also greatly reduces the mailing cost可知答案為：is saved, mailing cost。

【4】hall, spend句意：只是電腦的花費(fèi)，因?yàn)闊o(wú)需會(huì)議廳而且組辦者不必花錢(qián)在食物及與會(huì)者的住宿上。由倒數(shù)第二段第一句As a meeting hall is not used, the only power for a web meeting is the power that is used by the computers.及第二排可知第一空答案：hall。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的：organized don’t have to pay for food or accommodation for the participants. 花費(fèi)……在……上：Pay sth for…=spend sth on�？梢酝茰y(cè)到第二空填：spend。故填：hall, spend。

【5】green ideas，easier句意：如果大家都有一樣的環(huán)保理念，公司找到自己的商業(yè)伙伴更加容易。由最后一段so they can more easily find their working partners who have the same green ideas（因此他們更容易找到有同樣環(huán)保理念的商業(yè)伙伴），可以變形得到本題的句型結(jié)構(gòu)，故填：green ideas，easier
