    　　The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state　 36　the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have　 37　 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without　 38　 out any necessary fact.
    　　In writing a letter of application, keep in　 39　 that the things a possible employer is most　
     40　 to want to know about are your qualifications（条件）, your achievements and your aims.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.　41　the first few sentences fail to　 42　 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be　 43　 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not　 44　 your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your　 45　in today's paper. ”you might say“I have made a careful　 46　 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighbourhood to find out how many housewives　 47　your product and why they like it.”
    　　Try to　 48　 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now　 49　. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“ What can I　 50　 in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no　 51　 has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is　 52　.
    　　It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.　53　 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent　54　 is to enclose（内附）a stamped, self - addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it　 55　 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

    36．A求职信上应该言语明确，表达清晰。
    　　37．B信上写明你的能力和工作经历。前面已说明your abilites，此处不选C、D。
    　　38．C　leave out表示“遗漏”，不遗漏任何重要内容。
    　　39．D　keep sth.in mind为固定搭配，表示“记住”。
    　　40．C　A、B不能修饰人，因此，用be likely do表示“可能会……”。
    　　41．D　if引导假设状语从句，阐述如果求职信不能吸引别人的注意会有什么结果。
    　　42．B　“开头几句没有能够吸引到读者的注意”。
    　　43．D　如果开头几句吸引不了读者，其余部分对方就不会去看了。
    　　44．A　与上文形成对照与呼应，“针对雇主的要求”而不是“针对你的要求”。
    　　45．A　下文的your advertising是明确的提示，指对方在报上刊的招聘广告。
    　　46．C　此处用make a study与下文的make a survey均表示“研究，考虑”。
    　　47．D　下文说“她们为什么喜欢”，可见与“使用”是相联系的，喜欢才会去用，用过才觉得喜欢。
    　　48．A　generality表示“笼统”，说清楚你的需求，不要过于笼统抽象。
    　　49．B　apply for表示“申请”，既然是求职信，当然是为了“申请工作”。
    　　50．D　“求职信中应该给对方提供什么信息呢?”provide表示“（为……）提供”，offer表示“（愿意）给”，不合文意。
    　　51．B　既然是no…has experience，只有刚开始找工作的graduates没有经验，因此选B。
    　　52．D　从上下文看，作者说只要你做过的事都可以称为经验／经历。
    　　53．A　make a request for sth.的意思是request，“恳请，要求”，make的此类用法十分常见，如make an answer／reply／
    　　54．D　在信内附上一张有地址和邮票的信封，这是个好主意，而不是决定保证等。
    　　55．B　这种情况下雇主与你联系就很方便了，因为回信封已准备好了，地址也写了。

    US president Barack Obama told students that it takes hard work in school to prepare for a rewarding career in his “back to school” speech,   36  last Tuesday in Virginia, US. Here is excerpt （节选）from his speech:
    I know that sometimes, you get the  37    that you can be rich and successful without any hard work –  38   your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things. But the truth is, being successful is   39   .You won’t love every subject you study. Not every homework assignment will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at    40     the first time you try.
    That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most   41  .JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was   42  12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was    43    his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said. “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
    These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures  44   you. No one’s    45  being good at things; you become good at things through hard work.
    Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of    46    . It shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and to learn something new.
    And even when you’re  47     , even when you’re discouraged, and when you feel like other people have given up on yourself, you won’t give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

    As a professor at a large American university,there is a phrase that I hear often from students:“I’m only a 1050.”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test(SAT),which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice,or even if they have a chance to get a higher education at all.The SAT score,whether it is 800,1100 or 1550,has become the focus at this time of their life.
    It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores,then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number.Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over.The low test score,they think,will make it impossible for them to get into a good college.And without a degree from a prestigious university,they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.
    According to a study done in the 1990s,the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases.Interestingly,it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators-like a student’s high school grades.Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student’s academic proficiency(学业水平)，they will never be able to test things like confidence,efforts and willpower,and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities(潜力).This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process.The SAT is an excellent test in many ways,and the score is still a useful means of testing students.However,it should be only one of many methods used.
    小题1:The purpose of the SAT is to test students’______.
    A．strong will
    B．academic ability
    C．full potentialities
    D．confidence in school work
    小题2:Students’ self-respect is influenced by their______.
    A．scores in the SAT
    B．achievements in mathematics
    C．job opportunities
    D．money spent on education
    小题3:“A prestigious university” is most probably______.
    A．a famous university
    B．a technical university
    C．a traditional university
    D．an expensive university
    小题4:This passage is mainly about______.
    A．how to prepare for the SAT
    B．stress caused by the SAT
    C．American higher education
    D．the SAT and its effects

    Have you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milky Way (银河系)? While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eye. They would have to sleep for years.
    European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flight to distant planets. "If there was an effective technology, it could make deep-space travel a reality," said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.
    What seems like a science fiction is not completely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep-like state where they don’t age. They have now moved on to the small, non-hibernating mammals (哺乳动物) like rats.
    A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more complex (复杂的). "It’s like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer," said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy’s University of Pavia．Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person’s metabolism (新陈代谢) to lower so they would need less energy.
    Medical research, however, is just half of a space flight hibernation system. There is a challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter (栖身所). Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor (监控) life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.
    According to Ayre, the six-person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission (使命) to Jupiter’s moon (木星的卫星) Callisto could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six persons on a five-year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045.
    小题1:According to the article, the hibernation research ______.
    A．is just an ideaB．is always a science fiction
    C．has already finished successfullyD．has made some progress
    小题2:In a hibernating state, a person needs ______.
    A．less sleep B．more foodC．less energyD．more movement
    小题3: The first try of the hibernation technology _____ the six-person Human Outer Planets
    Exploration Mission to Jupiter’s moon Callisto.
    A．will beB．has been planned for
    C．is certain to beD．may be
    小题4:What is the best title of the article?
    A．Hibernation Study For Space TravelB．Welcome To Our Space Travel
    C．To Hibernate, To Live Longer D．Welcome To The Milky Way

    　　For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.
    　　Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye-pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants（污染物） can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer, Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution. People began to notice the problem in the early 1970s. It is that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using manmade building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases. As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building— green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and through its tiny organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square metres of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.
    　　小题1:Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because ________.
    A．the man - made building materials let out dangerous gases inside houses
    B．there may be more harmful gases outside houses
    C．the flow of air indoors is limited
    D．indoor air pollution can make a person seriously ill
    　　小题2:The most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants because________.
    A．they may let out more oxygen which people need
    B．they can absorb different kinds of the harmful indoor chemicals
    C．they can take in all kinds of indoor pollutants
    D．they can make your house prettier and more healthy

    It will be hot—hot enough that most locals will have cleared town for cooler places. But because athletes competing at the 2004 Olympics have no choice but to stay in the hot weather, many plan to turn to science to stay cool.?
    Some will put their hands in ice water just before competing and nearly all will be wearing fabrics(织物) designed with hot weather in mind.?
    “Normally we warm up before exercise,”said Gordon Sleivert, director of sports science and medicine at the Canadian Sport Center in Victoria, British Columbia.“But in this case we're taking the warm out of warm up. It's like pre-cooling.”
    Experts are predicting(预测) the average high this August in Athens will be 90 degrees Fahrenheit, with temperatures often reaching above 100(the average temperature in Sydney for the 2000 summer games was 64).?
    Although some events, such as the marathon, will start early(1 a.m.) to avoid hot weather, other competitors will be pushing their limits during high temperatures.?       Drinking lots of water will help athletes keep cool, but humidity(湿度) remains a problem. The body's ability to cool down is weakened by damp air since sweat drips off the skin rather than evaporates(蒸发),resulting in dehydration(脱水) without the cooling.?
    “Getting hot is a real problem because when our brains heats up, the brain waves are more like when you're really sleepy. Everything feels harder,” said Sleivert.
    小题1: The passage mainly tells us that _______.
    A．why it is very hot in Athens?
    B．the hot weather is a big problem for Olympic athletes?
    C．how important science is to every athlete?
    D．the Olympics will be put off because of the hot weather?
    小题2:The underlined sentence “other competitors will be pushing their limits during high temperatures”in the fifth paragraph means _______.?
    A．Olympic athletes will put off their competition time?
    B．some events in the Olympics will have to be put forward?
    C．competitors can't reach their limits in the hot weather?
    D．competitors will have to try their best to compete under any condition?
    小题3:The following things will be likely to happen in the hot weather EXCEPT _______.
    A．dehydration?
    B．being sleepy?
    C．that the blood in the body can become less and less?
    D．that the body's ability to cool down is weakened

    A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.
    Peers can have a good effect on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone's reading it.
    However, sometimes peers affect each other in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him.?
    Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don't go along with the group.Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “everyone's doing it ” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments, or their common senses behind.
    　　Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change mind from what she knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer—just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer!That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.
    It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Pay attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away, and resist doing something when you know better.
    小题1:What is the main idea of the passage?
    A．Peers have a good effect.
    B．Children give in to peer pressure.?
    C．Peer pressure is hard to stop.
    D．Peer pressure.?
    小题2:The underlined word “shoplift” probably means to_______.?
    A．do shoppingB．carry goods for shops?
    C．steal in the shopD．take the lift upstairs in the shop?
    小题3:The writer will NOT agree that_______.?
    A．only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressure?
    B．peers have an effect on each other?
    C．peer pressure can be got rid of ?
    D．peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them?
    小题4:The writer intends to _______ by writing the passage.?
    A．warn peers to separate from each other?
    B．tell peers to follow others?
    C．show it is hard to walk away from peer pressure?
    D．persuade peers to do what they think is the right thing??

    What should you think about when you try to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others, These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.
    　　Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at mental work or cookery（烹调术） and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
    　　If you have had a part - time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part - time job.
    　　Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not feel sorry about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
    小题1:The first paragraph of the passage is mainly about ________.
    A．the indirect value of school work　
    B．the importance of being good at all subjects
    C．knowing one’s strong or weak subjects at school
    D．using school performance to help to choose a career
    小题2:In the writer’s opinion, for a student to have a part - time job is probably ________.
    A．a good way to find out his weak points　
    B．one of the best ways of earning extra money
    C．of great use for his work in the future　
    D．a waste of time he could have spent on study
    小题3:If a student’s school record is not good, according to the passage, he________ .
    A．may do well in his future work　
    B．won’t be able to find a suitable job
    C．may be a complete failure in the future　
    D．will regret not having worked harder at school
    小题4:The whole passage centers around ________.
    A．knowing oneself in looking for a job　
    B．developing one’s abilities useful in school
    C．gaining much knowledge by working hard at school
    D．choosing a career according to what one is skilled in

    Just five one-hundredths of an inch thick and light golden in color, the Lay's potato chip seems an unlikely weapon for global control. But its maker, Frito-Lay doesn't think so. "Potato chips are a snack food for the world , "said Salman Amin, the company's head of global marketing. Amin believes there is no corner of the world that can resist the attractions of a Frito-Lay potato chip.
    Frito-Lay is the biggest snack maker in America owned by Pepsico and accounts for over half of the parent company's $ 3 billion profits every year. But the U.S. snack food market is largely saturated(饱和),and to grow, the company has to look overseas.
    Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first, a global product offers economies of scale(规模) with which local brands cannot compete. And second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to "global" as a concept. "Global" does not mean products that are consciously regarded as American, but ones that consumers--especially young people--see as part of a modern, innovative(创新的) world in which people are linked across cultures by shared beliefs and tastes. Potato chips are an American invention, but most Chinese, for example, do not know that Frito-Lay is an American company. Instead, Riskey, the company's research and development head, would hope they associate the brand with the new world of global communications and business.
    With brand concept a key factor, Riskey ordered a redesign of the Frito-Lay logo(标识). The logo, along with the company's long-held marketing image of its chips, would help make the company's global development very easy.
    The managers admit that they try to change national eating habits to a food created in America, but they don't think that means economic imperialism (霸主).  "We're making products in those countries, we're adapting them to the tastes of those countries, building businesses and employing people and changing lives , "said Steve Reinemund, Pepsico's chief manager.
    小题1:Amin's belief is that _________.
    A．people all over the world enjoy eating their potato chips
    B．the light golden color increases the attraction of their potato chips
    C．they must find new ways to promote sales in their country
    D．potato chips can hardly control the world market
    小题2:What do we learn about Frito-Lay from Paragraph 2?
    A．It gives half of its profits to its parent company every year.
    B．It needs to turn to the world market for development.
    C．Its products used to be popular among overseas consumers.
    D．Its development has caused fierce competition in the snack market.
    小题3:One of the concepts on which Frito-Lay bases its development strategy is that __________.
    A．consumers worldwide today are attracted by global brands
    B．products suiting Chinese consumers' needs bring more profits
    C．local brands cannot compete successfully with American brands
    D．products identified as American will have promising market value
    小题4:Why did Riskey have the Frito-Lay logo redesigned?
    A．To suit changing tastes of young consumers.
    B．To compete with other American chip producers.
    C．To change the company's long-held marketing image.
    D．To promote the company's strategy of globalization.
