    The purpose of a letter of application(求职信)is to help you to“sell”yourself. It should state　　the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have　　. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without　　out any necessary facts.
    In writing a letter of application, keep in　　that the things a possible employer is most　　to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 　　the first few sentences fail to　　the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be　　at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not　　your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your　　in today’s newspaper”, you might say“I have made a careful　　of your advertising during the past six months”or“I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives　　your product and why they like it. ”
    Try to　　generalities(概述). Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now　　. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“What can I　　in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no　　has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is　　.
    It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 　　a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent　　is to enclose(内附)a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it　　for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

    It's hardly surprising that weather is a favorite topic for so many people around the world—it affects where we choose to live, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national characteristics.Studies have shown that changeable weather can make it difficult to concentrate, cloudy skies slow down reaction, and hot，dry winds make many people bad­tempered.
    If you live in a place like Britain, where the weather seems to change daily if not hourly，you could be forgiven for thinking that the weather is random.In fact the weather is controlled by systems which move around areas of the globe.In the UK the weather depends on depressions (低压气流), often called lows，and anticyclones(反气旋)，also known as highs.These systems start in the Atlantic Ocean, and make their way across the British Isles from the west to the east.Highs bring sunny weather, while lows bring rain and wind.In modern times, human activities seem to be altering weather patterns.Gases produced by heavy industry change the temperature of the earth's surface，and affect cloud formation.Some researchers say that factories in Europe and North America may have been one of the causes of the droughts in Africa in the 1980s.
    The human race has always tried to guess the weather，especially in areas of the world where there are frequent changes.Traditional rhymes point to early attempts to identify weather patterns; popular poems include：
    Red sky at night, shepherd's delight；red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning.
    Flies will swarm before a storm.
    Rain before 7，clear by 11.
    While folk wisdom can provide a guide to help forecast weather, today's methods of prediction increasingly rely on  technology.Satellites, balloons，ships, aircrafts and weather centers with sensitive monitoring equipment, send data to computers.The data is then processed, and the weather is predicted.However，even this system cannot predict weather for longer than about a week.
    小题1:When weather keeps changing，________.
    A．people become bad­tempered
    B．people's reaction slows down
    C．people find it hard to focus on their work
    D．people find it easy to focus on their work
    小题2:The weather in Britain is________.
    A．randomB．moist
    C．depressingD．satisfying
    小题3:According to a traditional rhyme, if there is a red sky at night, the next day will be________.
    A．windy　B．rainy
    C．fine　D．snowy
    小题4:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Anticyclones often bring rain and wind.
    B．Weather forecasting has been done for a long time.
    C．Weather could never be predicted.
    D．Modern methods of weather prediction are developed from folk wisdom.
    小题5:What is mainly talked about in the second paragraph?
    A．Changes in weather.
    B．Weather in Britain.
    C．African droughts.
    D．Research on weather.

    Going Green
    For career（职业） changers thinking about growth and advancement potential, forget the blue-collar and white-collar categories: Green is the way to go. According to Bracken Hendricks, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Progress, careers that promote environmental responsibility will become main stream within a decade. “The growth in green careers will be like the Internet boom, which not only created new jobs, but also had an influence on the overall economy（经济）,” he says.
    The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job section of green-collar jobs. Many countries of the world have realized the importance and need for energy-saving products and services. It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be of green-collar jobs. Doesn’t the data look promising for the future?
    Green-collar jobs have become a bright career chances for all. And jobs will pop up at every income level, from environmental manager to gardener. For example, many countries including the United States have understood that fossil fuels have negative effect on the environment which can later become a serious danger to mankind. As a result, possibilities are being explored to find alternatives to satisfy demands in a better way. The increasing demand of newer resources（资源） has creating the need for experts and researchers who can find better ways to deal with the ongoing needs. In addition, in order to meet the increasing demands of environment-friendly equipment, both green product designer and educated and trained workers are needed. Management of environmental organizations also demands a large number of environmental managers. 
    Where can you find green-collar jobs? Internet is undoubtedly the best way to find information on almost any matter. Nowadays, different kinds of jobs are being posted online. Search through a couple of job websites to look for a bright future in energy conversion and recycling of waste management. Check regularly and find the right work for yourself. People who read newspapers can also find different kinds of green-collar jobs.
    小题1:Why does Bracken Hendricks mention the Internet Boom in Paragraph One?
    A．To explain the importance of technology.
    B．To provide evidence of his recent research.
    C．To indicate the bright future of green careers.
    D．To inform us of the way of finding green-collar jobs.
    小题2:Which of the following probably creates green-collar jobs?
    A．Promoting services.
    B．Training employees.

    Last year, over 206,000 students from the United States studied abroad. Does that number surprise you? These students already know the benefits of studying abroad. You may be wondering why you should study abroad. Here are some answers for you.
    ◆ Timing
    The absolutely best time in your life to study abroad is when you are in college. If you miss this opportunity, it’s almost impossible for you to do it later in life.
    ◆ To gain cross-cultural experience
    Life overseas makes you see your everyday world in a whole new light. You don’t even realize it, but our culture shapes the way we view the world and affects us every minute of the day. Differences in culture are more than just differences in language, food, clothing and art.
    ◆ To improve your communication skills and your self-confidence
    People who study abroad tend to be willing to take risks, willing to put themselves in unusual situations, and able to solve problems.
    ◆ To become more fluent in a language or to learn a new language
    The world market is becoming smaller, and many companies require a second language. Foreign languages are not only valuable in the job market but also valuable in the real world.
    ◆ For the adventure
    Travel to other cities within your host country and around neighboring countries. As you get to know your new classmates, roommates, and host family, you will gain a unique view on the host culture. Discover the differences and, more importantly, the many similarities between your worlds. The friendships you make will last long after the program.
    ◆ To learn more about yourself
    Find out who you really are. What are your limits? How do you overcome the difficulties you’ve never encountered before? How independent are you? These questions are hard to answer until you are removed from your usual surroundings. After solving difficult problems on your own overseas, you’ll find that almost nothing will confuse you at home.

    The Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution has just published a report on new materials and has looked at the case of nanotechnology（纳米技术）, which describes the science of the very small. Nanotechnology covers those man-made materials or objects that are about a thousand times smaller than the microtechnology（微电子技术）we use, such as the silicon chips of computers.
    Nanotechnology gets its name from the nanometer, which is a billionth of a meter. There are about 600 consumer products already on the market that use nanotechnology. Nanomedicine is also being developed to fight cancer and other fatal diseases.
    The Royal Commission found no evidence of harm to health or the environment from nanomaterials, but this “absence of evidence” is not being taken as “evidence of absence”. In other words, just because there are no apparent problems, this is not to say that here is no risk now or in the future. The commission is concerned about the pace at which we are inventing and adopting new nanomaterials, which could result in future problems that we are ill-equipped to understand or even find with current testing methods.
    One of the problems about nanotechnology is that when we make something very small out of a well known material, we may actually change the functionality of that material even if the chemical composition remains the same. Indeed, it is not the particle（颗粒）size that should concern us, but its functionality. Take gold, for example, which is a famously inert (惰性) substance, and valuable because of it. It doesn’t rust or corrode because it doesn’t interact with water or oxygen. However, a particle of gold that is between 2 and 5 nanometers in diameter becomes highly reactive. This is not due to a change in chemical composition, but because of a change in the physical size of the gold particles. How can a change in size result in a change of function? One reason is to do with surface area. Nanoparticles have relatively a much bigger surface area. It is like comparing the surface area of a basketball with the total surface area of many pea-sized balls with the same weight of the single basketball. The pea-sized balls have a surface area many hundreds, indeed thousands of times bigger than the basketball, and this allows them to interact more easily with the environment. It is this increased interactivity that changes their functionality—and makes them potentially more dangerous to health or the environment.
    小题1:Why does the writer mention microtechnology in the first paragraph?
    A．to introduce the topic of nanotechnology
    B．to help us better understand nanotechnology
    C．to help us know more about microtechnology
    D．to compare microtechnology with nanotechnology
    小题2:The example of the “gold” in the last paragraph is intended to show that_________.
    A．gold is valuable because it is an inert substance
    B．an inert substance like gold doesn’t interact with water or oxygen
    C．the function of gold is steady because it is an inert substance
    D．the function of gold changes when made into something very small
    小题3:Which process explains that there might be risks in nanotechnology?
    A．expand surface area →increase interactivity → change functionality→cause possible dangers
    B．expand surface area → change functionality → increase interactivity →cause possible dangers
    C．increase interactivity → expand surface area → change functionality→cause possible dangers
    D．increase interactivity → change functionality → expand surface area→cause possible dangers
    小题4:What does the passage mainly focus on?
    A．the introduction of nanotechnology and its wide use
    B．the present use of nanotechnology and its future
    C．the potential danger nanotechnology may bring us
    D．the proposal to stop nanotechnology due to the potential danger

    Around the world coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are facing threats(威胁) brought by climate change and great changes in sea temperatures. While ocean warming has been the primary focus for scientists and ocean policy managers, cold events can also whiten corals. A new study by scientists compared damaged to corals exposed to heat as well as cold stress. The results show that cool temperatures can cause more damage in the short term, but heat is more destructive(破坏性的) in the long run.
    Climate change is widely known to produce warming conditions in the oceans, but extreme cold-water events have become more frequent and serious as well. In 2010, for example, coral reefs around the world faced on of the coldest winters and one of the hottest summers on record.
    During a unique experiment, corals under cold temperatures suffered greater damage in just days compared with heat treated corals. Yet the researchers found that corals were eventually able to adjust to the cold conditions, make their health stable and continue to grow. However, over the long term corals subjected to heat suffered more greatly than those in cold, with evidence of severe whitening and growth stoppage, which leads to death.
    The coral’s ability to adjust to cool temperatures surprised the researchers, who say the study’s results show the complexities(复杂性) of monitoring coral health in response to different environmental factors(因素).
    “Global warming is associated with increases but also decreases of temperatures,” said Deheyn, one of the researchers. “Not much has been known about the comparative effects of temperature decrease on corals. These results are important because they show that corals react differently to temperature differences, which is important for future management of coral reefs in the field of climate change.”
    小题1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Corals are unable to adjust to temperature changes.
    B．Cold temperature causes greater damage to corals.
    C．Hot temperature helps coral reefs to grow quickly.
    D．Heat and cold damage corals in their own ways.
    小题2:We can learn from the passage that         .
    A．scientists used to pay no attention to the effect of cold events on corals
    B．2010 witnessed one of the greatest temperature differences on record
    C．corals prefer warmer conditions to cold temperatures in the long run
    D．global warming has nothing to do with the decrease of temperature
    小题3:According to the research,            .
    A．corals may continue to grow in cold events after a few days
    B．cold events help corals grow more quickly in a short time
    C．corals show no response to hot temperatures in the first days
    D．corals are whitened mainly because of warm temperatures
    小题4:Scientists reached the conclusion through              .
    A．news reportB．scientific studyC．great imaginationD．natural conditions

    “The first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful，” says Plato. Self­control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral (道德上的) freedom.
    A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whom the gods would destroy they firstmake mad” “Keep cool”， says George Herbert, “for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.”
    To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger，” says Pythagoras, “brings with folly(愚蠢) and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.
    Self­control is man's last greatest victory.
    If a man lacks self­control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self­confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self­control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.
    小题1:What does the reader learn from the first paragraph?
    A．The greatest victory for a man is to conquer everything except himself.
    B．One's moral freedom is based on the control of himself.
    C．To control oneself is the most difficult in one's life.
    D．If a person is too stubborn, he will feel most shameful.
    小题2:What is the correct interpretation of “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad”？
    A．If the gods want to kill you, they make you crazy first.
    B．If you cannot control yourself, you will become crazy.
    C．If you always lose your temper, you will soon be finished.
    D．If you are mad, you will be punished by the gods.
    小题3:If a man lacks self­control, he lacks all of the following EXCEPT ________.
    A．the very backbone and nerve of character
    B．the patience and power to control himself
    C．self­confidence
    D．strong feelings

    An estimated 80 percent of American adults think music lessons, though at times boring and challenging in the eyes of some kids, improve children’s ability to learn or their performance in school . They say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.
    Researchers at Harvard University, however, have found that there’s one thing musical training does not do. Samuel Mehr, the leading researcher of the new study, said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child’s intellectual development. The evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents. One group attended music class; the comparison group went to a class that places importance on the optical arts-arts that can be seen.
    “We found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music classes,” said Mehr.
    Samuel Mehr says researchers have carried out many studies in an effort to learn whether musical training can make children smarter. Only one study seems to show a small percentage increase in IQ, intellectual scores among students after one year of music lessons.
    He does not believe that IQ is a good measure of a child’s intelligence. Therefore, the researchers in his study compared how well children in the musical training group did on mental processing tasks, then the results were compared to those of children who did not take lessons.
    Music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later of their life, but the training is still important.
    Mr Mehr notes that the works of writer William Shakespeare are not taught , so the children will do better in physics. He says Shakespeare is taught because it is important for cultural reasons.“And I don’t think music needs to be any different than that.”
    小题1:What attitude do most American grown-ups have towards music lessons? _________
    A．Uninterested B．Approving C．Doubtful D．Uncertain
    小题2:The underlined word“optical”in Paragraph 2 probably means       .
    A．visual B．colorful C．traditional D．serious
    小题3:According to Samuel Mehr, _________ .
    A．many studies show that music training can improve IQ
    B．IQ is a good measure of a child’s intelligence
    C．music can enable a child to go to a better school
    D．music should be taught for cultural reasons
    小题4:The study shows that       .
    A．early music training has negative effects
    B．musical lessons should be stopped at school
    C．musical training doesn’t improve kids’ intelligence
    D．playing musical instrument makes kids more creative
