Oxford is a city with such a mind-blowing reputation that many who come herefind themselvs ______ by the place and can’t wait to leave, while others, who take to it like a duck to water, find themselves returning again and again.
A
threatened
B
intimidated
C
deprived
D
maltreated
参考解析
解析：
句意：牛津是一个使人兴奋的城市，那些被它吓到的人迫不及待的要离开，而那些喜欢它的则如鱼得水一般一次次的回来。intimidated和threatened都有“受到威胁，害怕”意思，但intimidated暗指存在迫使人行动或使人不再行动的令人害怕的力量，threatened常指存在不安或不祥的征兆。deprived被剥夺。maltreated被虐待。根据句意，“等不及离开”的原因应是“被吓到了”,所以选B。

2 John Dixon is the recently appointed Chief of Police for a major city in the UK. He has inherited a major problem inthat its residents are very concerned with various forms of antisocial behaviour and minor crimes carried out by asmall number of people, which makes living, working, travelling and socialising in the city centre unpleasant ratherthan life threatening. The city’s residents have recently voted for it being one of the five worst cities in the UK in whichto live. There is little or no contact between the police and these residents.The city is split into a number of police districts, each with its own senior officer in charge. Their focus is on theresponse to emergency calls and solving serious crimes in their district rather than the less urgent crimes affectingeveryday living in the city. Response times and serious crime solution rates are the traditional measures by which theirperformance is measured and leave them open to criticism of simply reacting to events. There is little sense of beingpart of a city police force and, consequently, little sharing of information and experience between the different districts.The failure in policing antisocial behaviour in the city is seen as being largely the result of a shortage of resources.There are also important internal and external groups varying in their support or resistance to any necessary changein policing strategy. Key players include the mayor of the city anxious to improve the reputation of the city, the city’spress, traditionally used to highlighting police failures rather than successes and finally the courts of justice, whichare reluctant to take on the increased workload that any moves towards reducing antisocial behaviour would produce.John is aware of the complexity of the problem he faces in changing the way the city is policed to improve the qualityof life of its citizens. He has, however, an impressive track record as a change agent in previous appointments and isconfident that he can bring about the necessary change.Required:(a) Using change management models where appropriate, provide John with a brief report on the nature ofchange needed in the way the city is policed in order to improve the city’s quality of life.

问答题Oxford When language learners arrive in Oxford, many ask where the university is, thinking that they will be shown just one building. It’s up to their teachers to explain that Oxford university is made up of a collection of many different colleges and institutions, each with its own history and characteristics. There are many other surprises that learners discover about the city and its university. Katie Jennings is a social organizer at King’s St Joseph’s Hall in East Oxford, and it is her job to organize activities for learners outside of lesson time. She says many learners are surprised to discover that Oxford is a home to a wide variety of nationalities and ethnic groups, and one of the most popular social events is a night out at one of the town’s Latin American dance clubs. After a day spent learning English and absorbing the ancient atmosphere of the university, learners can samba the night away. The city also has a thriving Asian community, and the sight of women in saris is as common in Oxford’s streets as academics in gowns and mortarboards. There is also a mouth-watering selection of Asian restaurants serving curries, as well as shops stocked with exotic vegetables and fruits. The city has attracted such a diverse population not only because of the university, but also because it is an important industrial centre which is known for car manufacturing among other things. In spite of large industrial areas, the old of the city centre has remained surprisingly intact. Carmel Engin, who teaches at the Lake School, says many learners are surprised to find that the city is free from the usual high-rise modern buildings. “From the centre of Oxford, you can see green hills in the distance, and this will make learners deeply feel that they are in a small, friendly town, but not just another modern metropolis.” Some learners will be tempted to explore those green hills—Oxford is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in southern England—but, as Engin admits, with so much to do and see in the city, few learners find the time, to explore its surroundings.
