【解析】
试题分析:这是一段了解被雇者对于自己工作要求的对话,比如是否喜欢团队一起工作,是否喜欢穿制服,是否喜欢固定工作时间,以及薪水如何发放等等问题。
1.上文所说:你喜欢团体合作还是单独工作?以及下文的回答:我擅长单独工作可知应该用alone 副词,单独地。
2.固定短语的使用。擅长做某事be good at doing,因此用working.
3.动词的过去分词。让某事被做get sth.done,因此用 do 的过去分词done,表示被动。
4.连词和上下文的理解能力。根据上下文:我擅长一个人做事情,假如我遇到一个我喜欢做的事情,那么我会很快地做完。但是,如果我和一个里所有人都想要做好一件事情的团队合作时,我想这样的团队也是很有意思的。因此两句话之间表示转折,且后面还有个逗号,应该用however,连词,但是。
5.冠词和上下文的理解能力。句意:如果我和一个里所有人都想要做好一件事情的团队合作时,我想这样的团队也是很有意思的。the team 这样的团队(一个里所有人都想要做好一件事情的团队)。
6.6】考查连词和上下文的理解能力。句意:你喜欢穿工作制服还是随意穿?我想,如果你穿制服,你将会受到尊重的。根据上下文用if这个连词,表示假设。
7.7】考察it和上下文的理解能力。句意:关于工作时间怎么样呢?你喜欢固定的工作时间吗?我不喜欢,我觉得做一个固定时间的工作很难。这里考察用it做形式主语,代替后面的to do a set time job。
8.8】考察动词时态的运用。根据上文的”Last year”可知本句话用一般过去时,所以用produced。
9.9】考察情态动词的用法。根据上文句意:每天我得六点起床,当我到家时,都已经快八点了。所以可知应该用must,表示“你肯定很累吧”。must 肯定,一定,表示对事情肯定的猜测。
10.10】考察形容词的比较级。根据后文than being paid by the hour可知用比较级better。句意:我认为按月发放薪水要比按时发放更好。
考点: 对话类文章。

Tickets for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil have gone on sale, with fans able to apply on FIFA’s website. FIFA is expecting a similar demand to that in Germany 2006, when there were about seven applicants for every ticket of the 64 matches. And now around 3.3 million tickets will be available for the matches in 2014.
Tickets will range in price from£58 for first-round matches to£632 for the final at Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian citizens over 60, local students and members of some social programs can purchase tickets for £15.
The Price of Football - World Cup 2014
Items | Prices | Items | Prices |
Ticket | £58-£112 | Final ticket | £281-£632 |
Sun cream | £9.50 | T-shirt | £13 |
McDonald’s meal | £11 | Water | £1.28 |
Imported beer | £3.83 | Domestic beer | £1.91 |
Coffee | £2.55 | Average dinner | £29 |
“It’s always difficult to predict,” said FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil. “But I truly believe that it will be more similar to what happened in Germany than in South Africa in 2010.” According to FIFA, the 2006 World Cup was attended by more than 3.3 million fans. Almost two million tickets were sold to the general public in South Africa, although the number of applications during the first ticketing phase was significantly lower.
All applications made before 10th October 2013 will enter a random selection draw if there are not enough tickets available to fulfill all requests. The sales of the leftover tickets will begin on 5th November on a first-come, first-served basis. Another phase will begin on 8th December after the draw is made. The tournament begins on 12th June, with Brazil playing the opener in Sao Paulo.
A study on the price of World Cup 2014 looked at the ticket prices and the cost of travelling to Brazil and found that our English fans face hotel costs of between£46 and£797 a night, while packages range from£2,999 to£14,999.
1.How much should a Brazilian student pay for the opening match?
A.£15 B.£58 C.£112 D.£632

C.holds the belief that Brazil 2014 will be the greatest world cup
D.believes that more fans will attend Brazil 2014 than South Africa 2010

Did you know that the position you choose to sleep in says something about what kind of person you are?

They will be here in a minute, surely. I’ll just stare at my shoes a little while longer to pass the time. Wish I’d brought a book. Hang on, though, what if I’ve got the wrong day? The wrong place? Have the clocks gone back? No, damn it, I’m off home. Whoever I’m waiting for clearly lives in a different time zone from me.
I am always 10 minutes early, so if you’re 10 minutes late, I’ve been foot-tapping for 20 minutes. I know it’s not fair to hold the first 10 against you, but I just can’t help myself. I never wait more than 20 minutes beyond the meeting time we decided upon, not for anyone, ever.
OK, that’s not strictly true. I have, on occasion, hung around anxiously and heart-brokenly for up to an hour, but the bitter anger that follows is never a pretty sight. If you’ve made me wait that long, you will wish you hadn’t bothered turning up at all.
How come some people are always late and some are always on time? If I can manage to be punctual, why can’t you? Because I left a hot cup of coffee at home while you sat down to roll another cigarette. Because I spilled jam on my pants and quickly wiped it off whereas you took time to change your whole outfit. Because I switched off midway through a TV series, but you had to ride out the end, didn’t you? And don’t even think about blaming the traffic. How do you think I got here? By flying carpet? Only carelessness or arrogance (傲慢) can explain a habit of lateness.
Some people are always late because they can’t make realistic calculations about how long it takes to do things. There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. Just deal with it. Painful as it may be, you have to accept that, as you’ve agreed to meet at eight and it’s now a quarter to, you don’t have time to phone your girlfriend.
Much worse, though, are those with big egos (自我). Being late is just rude. Being late on purpose really means that you hate the person you are meeting.
Of course, there are some perfectly lovely latecomers out there. I just never wait long enough to find out.
1.Which of the following words best describes how the author feels in the first paragraph?
A. Anxious. B. Curious.
C. Thankful. D. Joyful.
2.What does the author think contributes to people always being late?
a. Their big egos.
b. Traffic jams.
c. Their carelessness.
d. Being picky when choosing clothes.
e. Their realistic calculations of how long it takes to do things.
A. a, b B. a, c C. b, d, e D. c, d, e
3.We can learn from the article that the author ___________.
A. is tolerant of people being late
B. has missed lots of meetings
C. has trouble getting along with others
D. has a strong preference for good timekeeping
4.According to the author, people should ____________.
A. be patient when waiting for a latecomer
B. keep in mind that being late is rude and selfish
C. always arrive 10 minutes early for an appointment
D. ask people around them to remind them about an appointment
