* P.* 2)The system software package that handles the difficult tasks associated with creating, accessing, and maintaining data base records is called a data base management system (DBMS). 处理与创建、访问以及维护数据库记录有关的复杂任务的系统软件包叫做数据库管理系统（DBMS）。 注释：该句的主语是The system software package，所以谓语动词用的是单数第三人称的形式（is called）；从句that handles the difficult tasks是定语，修饰主语；过去分词短语associated with …修饰tasks；名词短语a data base management system (DBMS)则是主语补足语。 * P.* 3)A DBMS can organize, process, and present selected data elements from the data base, and assemble the needed items from the common data base in response to the queries of those who arent programmers. DBMS可以组织、处理和显示从数据库中选择的数据元，并从公共数据库中汇集所需的数据项，以回答那些非程序员的询问。 注释：此句中 organize, process, and present 以及assemble 均为并列的谓语动词；名词短语selected data elements是organize, process, and present的共同宾语，the needed items则是assemble的宾语；介词短语from the common data base修饰the items；短语介词in response to则是状语，表目的。 * P.* End 4) For our purposes, an MIS can be defined as a network of computer-based data processing procedures developed in an organization and integrated as necessary with manual and other procedures for the purpose of providing timely and effective information to support decision making and other necessary management functions. 对我们来说，一个MIS可定义为某单位内部所开发的网络系统，该系统基于计算机的数据处理程序，且需将人工操作与其它程序加以整合，其目的是为了能提供及时而有效的信息，以支持决策和其它所需要的管理功能。 注释：该句较长，但只有一个主谓结构，因此始终是简单句。主语是an MIS ；两个并列谓语—can be defined 和 integrated；两个?as短语均为主语补足语；其它部分均为修饰语（定语或状语）。 1.Listening ChallengeSpot DictationDirections: The following passage will be heard 3 times.
