5 Tips to Find the Perfect Career for You
人们常常觉得自己的工作不适合自己,那么如何找到适合自己的工作呢?只要你学会这5招……
These days job dissatisfaction(不满意) is one of the most common problems among people.Now I will tell you about 5 tips that can help you find the perfect job.
1.Know yourself:One of the biggest reasons for job dissatisfaction is that people find themselves doing things that don't suit their personalities.If you are an introvert(内向的人) then certainly working as a sales person or in any job that forces you to interact with dozens of people each day will leave you feeling unhappy.Understand your personality well to know what career suites you the most.
2.Don't follow the crowd:The second reason people hate their jobs is that they follow the crowd without really thinking about what they want.A common example is when a person who prefers to work alone finds himself in a job that requires team work.
3.Handle unwanted emotions:Sometimes people don't hate their jobs for the tasks they do but for the emotions they experience while doing the job.For example,some people hate their jobs because of the amounts of stress they experience while doing them.In such a case learning how to handle stress will help you become more satisfied with your job.
4.Find your hobbies and stick to them:The best thing you can ever do for yourself to find a great job is to develop your hobbies and to try to make a career out of them.
5.It's OK to change your job:Some people will give you a shocked look when you tell them to change their jobs.What's the point in sticking to a job that is making you sad while you can take a single step towards a job that can make you live a happier life? You must weigh the fear of uncertainty of changing careers with the fear of what certainly be a lifetime full of dissatisfaction and frustration by spending the majority of your life at a job that you hate.Do the math.

【对接高考】
(2012·江苏高考) an important decision more on emotion than on reason,you will regret it sooner or later.
A.Based B.Basing
C.Base D.To base
【解析】 句意:如果把一个重要决定更多地建立在情感上而不是理智上,你迟早会后悔的。根据题目与选项可知本题考查非谓语动词,C项是谓语动词,首先排除。A项过去分词表示被动,但句子的主语不是base的承受者,因此A项应排除。B项和D项都表示主动,但不定式表示将来,在句中常作目的或结果状语,与句意不符。动词base和逻辑主语you之间为主谓关系,故答案为B。
【答案】 B
完成句子
①他根据被俘囚犯提供的证据得出了这个结论。
He the evidence given by the captured prisoners.
②这些数字是基于市场平均价格而得出的。
These figures average market prices.

Your wife as well as you is friendly to me.

He's pretty well finished his latest book already.
他最近的一本书已差不多完成了。
【提示】 as well常用作状语,作“又;也”解,相当于too或also,常位于句末,无须用逗号与句子分开。
as well as常用来连接两个并列的成分,如名词、形容词、动词、介词短语等。它强调的是前一项,后一项只是顺便提及。因此连接并列主语时,谓语动词与前一项一致;翻译时要先译后面,再译前面。而用not only...but also...连接时,谓语动词与后一项一致。
【教师备课资源】
用作介词时,as well as相当于besides,in addition to,意思为“除……之外”,后面通常接名词或动词,尤其是位于句首时。
用适当的短语填空
①I am going to London and my sister is going .
②Electric energy can be changed into light energy
into sound energy.

[连句成篇]
【参考范文】
Every student will be faced with the question when he passes the college entrance examinations:Should we choose a good major or a good university first? Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in.It will also make it possible for them to take their favourite jobs in the future.However,those who think differently believe that the environment is important to one's development and that graduates from leading universities are often more likely to find a good job.
In my opinion,the best choice is a good major at a good university.If we cannot obtain both,the first thing to consider is a good major,because no matter where we study,we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best.

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (30 marks)
A
When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951,her mother told her,“Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out,you'll have something to rely on.”Mary responded in typical teenage fashion.From that moment on,“the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course,”she recalls.
The show business thing worked out,of course.In her career,Mary won many awards.Only recently,when she began to write Growing UP Again,did she regret ignoring her mom.“I don't know how to use a computer,”she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography,after all,her second book is less about life as an award?winning actress and more about living with diabetes(糖尿病).All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation(JDRF),an organization she serves as international chairman.“I felt there was a need for a book like this,”she says.“I didn't want to lecture,but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self?controlled and do our part in managing the disease.”
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches.In her book,she describes that awful day,almost 40 years ago,when she received two pieces of life?changing news.First ,she had lost the baby she was carrying,and second,tests showed that she had diabetes.In a childlike act,she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts(甜甜圈).Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up again and take control of her diabetes,not let it control her.Only then did she kick her three?pack?a?day cigarette habit,overcome her addiction to alcohol,and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor,she refuses to fall into self?pity.“Everybody on earth can ask,‘why me?’about something or other,”she insists.“It doesn't do any good.No one is immune(免疫的)to heartache,pain,and disappointments.Sometimes we can make things better by helping others.I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time.I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”
36.Why did Mary feel regretful?
A.She didn't achieve her ambition.
B.She didn't take care of her mother.
C.She didn't complete her high school.
D.She didn't follow her mother's advice.
37.We can know that before 1995 Mary________.
A.had two books published
B.received many career awards
C.knew how to use a computer
D.supported the JDRF by writing
38.Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her ________.
A.living with diabetes
B.successful show business
C.service for an organization
D.remembrance of her mother
39.When Mary received the life?changing news,she ________.
A.lost control of herself
B.began a balanced diet
C.tried to get a treatment
D.behaved in an adult way
40.What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.Mary feels pity for herself.
B.Mary has recovered from her disease.
C.Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D.Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

I was a policeman.It was 6∶00 pm and I was starting working a twelve?hour shift.I said good?bye to a group of officers heading out of the station to go home.“Yeah,have a good time,”shouted an officer,sounding tired.
Just then,an officer I was working with said to me,“There is a fire at a grocery store.Our task is to assist other units already there.Come on;let's go.”He walked towards our car.Our team left the station and arrived ten minutes later at the grocery store.We took up a position in the parking lot to try to keep people away from the store.
The building was starting to disappear in flames and smoke.I_didn't_know_what_to_do.I_just_stood_there_staring_as_if_I_were_watching_a_horror_movie.All of a sudden,a loud explosion shook the ground and everyone fell down.Something in the alleyway(小巷) at the back of the store blew up and a large mushroom fire cloud rose into the sky.As the cloud grew larger,it began swallowing everything in sight,including the parking lot.As I got up and ran for cover as everyone else did,smoke and dirt rained down on us.
After clearing,we went close to the store to help in our car.“There is a man yelling for help,”the driver officer said,so we pulled over to assist him.“There are people still inside,”the man shouted.We quickly helped dozens of people to safety.During our rescue,another partner found a garden hose(水龙带),so we started to try to put out the fire below the building.
After half an hour,the fire was put out at last.“Everyone is out of the building.Let's go on to our other tasks!”shouted an officer.

She was born to wealth and power in an era when money and politics were left to the men.Later,as The Washington Post's publisher,Katharine Graham became one of America's most powerful women.
Despite a privileged background,Katharine had to deal,while growing up,with the high demands her mother placed on her children.Katharine's love of journalism,which she shared with her father,led to her career (事业) after college at The Washington Post,the newspaper her father bought in 1933.At the Post,Katharine met Phil Graham,a young,charming lawyer who became her husband.When,in 1945,Katharine's father chose Phil over her to take over his struggling paper,Katharine didn't object and stayed at home as a wife and mother of four.
While Phil's successful efforts to restore the Post to prominence made the Grahams popular members of the Washington social scene,Katharine privately suffered tremendous pain from her husband's increasingly abusive behavior and wild mood swings caused by severe depression.When Phil committed suicide(自杀),the 46?year?old Katharine found herself thrown into a new job,that of newspaper publisher.But determined to save the family paper for her children,Katharine rose to the challenge of running the Post,attending meetings in every department,working endlessly to prove herself to her critics,and becoming the toast of Washington.
In 1971,Katharine ordered the Post to print a copy of the Pentagon Papers,the top?secret documents revealing the truth about the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War.What's more,her courageous decision and support for her journalists prepared the Post to break the most important political story in modern history:Watergate(水门事件),one of the greatest scandals (丑闻) in American political history.Katharine managed to keep control over the most chaotic of situations when it was reported,all the time insisting the news stories be accurate and fair.Watergate made the Washington Post an internationally known Paper and Katharine was considered as the most powerful woman in America.
46.Katharine Graham was born in a time when ________.
A.women were not given the chance to receive education
B.women were not considered as intelligent as men
C.women were not permitted to achieve their goals
D.women were not allowed to enter every field
47.When her husband was chosen to take charge of the newspaper,Katharine Graham ________.
A.was strongly against the idea
B.was not happy to be rejected
C.was willing to take her share of responsibility
D.didn't believe her husband would do a good job
48.Which can be considered the most important event in the history of The Washington Post?
A.Reporting Watergate scandal.
B.Printing the Pentagon Papers.
C.Reporting the Vietnam War.
D.Phil restoring the Post.
49.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

Part Ⅲ Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
Traditionally,customers may consider more about what they buy the product for.However,the image of product and the consuming circumstances have become the key points to attract customer awareness and stimulate their buying needs.Frequently,customers buy goods just because they are cute,lovely and unique.With a less emphasis on fun_ction,the experience and imaginative space are placed into an increasingly important role.The image of product is emphasized,as well as the communication between products and consumers.“Customer behavior,which appears to be focused on,in fact responds to quite different objectives:the expression of desire,and the production of a code of social values through the use of different signs”,said Bandrillard.The reason for image?oriented customer behavior is probably that customers' lifestyle has been continuously virtualized by paying much attention to “virtual reality”.The evidences can be traced from computer games and Hollywood movies,in which customers' preference for fleeing reality is perfectly matched.
This change requires us to take efforts to enhance product image by integrating style,color,taste,shape and material,and communicate with customers creatively,imaginatively and innovatively,and enable them to enjoy the distinctive experience image brings.“It is not a need for a particular object as much as a ‘need’ for difference”,said Baudrillard.The typical example is Apple Computer's IMAC,which has strong visual impacts and outstanding dynamics.By this way,customer relationship can be set up through image,and brand can be treated as a sign that can transform people.Other examples commonly used are Disney Fairyland and Las Vegas,where new experience and imagination are fully demonstrated.In sum,consumption is negotiation,a never?ending conversation held in the languages of advertising,packaging,branding,fashion,and entertainment.
More Attention to the Image of Product

(2012·望城一中高三第四次调研)Now satellites are helping to forecast the weather.They are in space,and they can reach any part of the world.The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere,because this is where the weather forms.They send these pictures to the weather stations.So meteorologists can see the weather of any part of the world.From the pictures,the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today,nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures.When they receive new pictures,the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones.Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours.This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change,too.In their next weather forecast,the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists.Before satellites were invented,the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours.Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days.Soon,perhaps,they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead.
61.Where does the weather form?(no more than 3 words)
________________________________________________________________

综合检测(一)
1.B talk about“谈论,谈起”;go about“着手(做某事),从事”;care about“关心”;come about“产生,发生”。根据句意“由于他们的试验失败了,我们必须更加谨慎地进行试验。”可知选B。
2.D 分析句子结构可知,is是系动词,其后为表语从句,从句中do为及物动词,所以从句缺宾语,故选what。
3.C carried out为过去分词短语在句中作see的宾语补足语。see sth. done结构意为“看见某事被做”。
4.B set up建立,创办;set down写下,记下;set about着手做;set off出发,动身。根据前一句“她是个勤奋的学生”可以推断后一句应是“她总是将老师讲的重点记下来”,所以选B。
5.A 句意:虽然一位成功的商人或发明家通常会变得富有,但许多在自己的领域中杰出的人对个人财产并不太关心。while在此引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然”。
6.A 由with her eyes ________ on the opposite wall可看出,填空处做with的复合宾语,排除C、D。fix和eyes是动宾关系,所以要用fixed,过去分词表示被动。
7.A 句意:在这么短的时间他几乎不能完成这么多工作。get through“完成”;get off“下车”;get into“进入”;get down“下来”。
8.D 考查倒装。表方位的介词短语under a big tree位于句首,句子应用完全倒装,不用助动词,因而选择D项。
9.A 考查形容词词义辨析。根据语境“只买我们能买得起和需要的”可知,买东西时要实际一些。
10.B 考查暗喻及介词的用法。此处把生活比作是一条曲线,“充满”应该用full of来表示,故选B项。
11.C 句意:一般来说,北方人爱吃饺子,南方人爱吃米饭。in common“共同地”;in total“整个地”;in general“一般地”;in particular“特别地”。
12.C 考查短语辨析。句意:今天早晨的雾太大了以至于司机们几乎不能看清前面十米远的物体。figure out想出,算出,理解;take out拿出,带……出去;make out看出,辨认出;rule out消除。
13.B 考查动词辨析。support支持,符合句意。consider考虑;agree同意;confirm证实,均不符合句意。
14.A 考查副词短语。more than+adj.表示“非常,很”的意思,此处是很高兴;other than意思是“不同于,除了”;rather than意思是“胜过,而不是”;less than少于,决不。
15.A 从语境得知,对方在道歉,只能用 That's all right/It doesn't matter/Never mind(没关系)等回答;It's a pleasure/You are welcome/Don't mention it 都是回答 Thank you 的用语。
16.C 服务员向年轻人解释玫瑰花非常“昂贵”,不是六美元可以买得到的。此处讲的是价格问题,而不是玫瑰花的象征意义,因此D项不恰当。
17.B 年轻人乞求的声音“触动”了约翰的内心,此处touch表示“触动”。recall表示“回想,回忆”,主语一般是人。
18. B 约翰努了努嘴,向服务员示意他将替年轻人支付(购买玫瑰花)不足的钱,由于他只是用嘴示意,因而是“无声地”。
19.B 年轻人的目的是购买鲜花,自然是拿着“鲜花”跑出了商店。
20.A 约翰订购了自己的鲜花,并委托服务员在“送”花时要附上一张便条,表达他对母亲无比的爱意。transfer表示“转移,移交”,语意不恰当。
21.C 约翰已经委托服务员把鲜花送给他的母亲,并叮嘱对方要附上一张便条,由此可见他自认为已经办妥了一切,自我感觉“良好”。文章中没有提到他之前感到紧张,所以A项不恰当。
22.B 他遇到了红灯,自然要在红绿灯处“等候”。
23.B 上文提到他遇到红灯后停了下来,由此可推断此时红灯“变”成了绿灯,他缓缓驶过交叉点。
24.B 他一时冲动,想跟踪男孩,所以把车停到路边。此处pull over表示“把车停靠在路边”。break down表示“出故障,崩溃”;burst out表示“突然开始做某事”,后面需要跟宾语。
25.A 男孩小心翼翼地把玫瑰花“摆放”在坟墓上,失声痛哭起来。B项表示“装饰”,通常用于喜庆场合。
26.C 约翰没有想到男孩倾其所有购买玫瑰花是为了祭奠他的母亲,感动得“泪流满面”。
27.C 约翰告诉服务员他想亲自把花“带”给他的母亲。A项表示“带来”,显然不正确;B项表示“去拿来”,不符合语境。
28.Instead 29.fewer 30.It 31.However 32.Second 33.If

36.D 推理判断题。第一段中提到Mary Moore的妈妈建议她学打字,而第二段中她承认自己还不会使用电脑,由此可知她后悔自己没有听妈妈的建议。故答案为D项。
37.B 推理判断题。根据第三段得知,Mary在1995年的自传中主要介绍自己成功的演艺事业,而近期所写的第二本著作主要介绍她身患糖尿病的生活,她打算把这本书的收入都捐给JDRF,由此可知1995年前她只写了一本书而不是两本,故排除A项;依靠写作来支持JDRF是在1995年之后,故可排除D项;根据第二段的最后一句话可排除C项。故答案为B项。
38.A 事实细节题。根据第三段首句可知,第二本书与1995年的那本自传不同,这本书主要是关于Mary身患糖尿病的生活经历,故答案为A项。B项“她成功的演艺事业”应该是第一本自传的内容,故可排除。C、D两项均不是书的内容,可排除。
39.A 推理判断题。根据第二段可得知,Mary 想通过自己的书告诫那些患糖尿病的人,自我控制才会使情况变得更好,但第三段提到她自己并未那样去做,并且讲到了她在得到令生活改变的噩耗时的反应,由此可知那时她失去了控制,故答案为A项。
40.C 推理判断题。根据本段最后一句话可得知,Mary 想尽其所能来帮助他人,故答案为C项。根据本段第一句话可排除A项和B项,D项“Mary决定返回舞池”文中并未提到,因此可排除。
41.D 主旨大意题。通读全文,可知作者主要记录了他作为警察,在一次执行任务中的经历,故选D项。
42.C 细节理解题。根据第一段的It was 6∶00 pm and I was starting working a twelve?hour shift.可知作者接到那个任务的时候,他才刚开始那晚的晚班。
43.D 推理判断题。根据画线部分的内容,可知作者面对大火不知该做些什么,只能盯着大火,故可推断他没有应付这种大火的经验。
44.D 细节理解题。根据第三段的Something in the alleyway at the back of the store blew up可知应选D项。
45.C 细节理解题。根据第四段的so we started to try to put out the fire below the building.可知作者他们只是拿着水龙带在楼底下救火,并没有冲进大楼里去,故选C项。
46.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段可以看出当时的美国社会是男性占主导地位的时代,女性在很多领域都不能涉足。
47.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句“...Katharine didn't object and stayed at home as a wife and mother of four.”可知。
48.A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“Watergate made the Washington Post an internationally known paper...most powerful woman in America”。
49.B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句可知,从文章可以知道她的丈夫取得一定的成绩并且因为绝望而自杀可以判断A、C两项错误。
50.C 确定文章标题。从文章的第一段就可以看出Katharine是如何从家庭主妇到成为华盛顿邮报的成功出版商的。

A_domestic_service_company_in_Beijing_provided_“Gaokao_nannies”_for_students_who_will_take_part_in_the_college_entrance_examination.The_nannies_can_not_only_tutor_the_students_in_their_weak_subjects_but_also_wash_clothes_and_cook_meals_for_them.As for the matter,opinions are divided.
60% of the people are in favor of it.They think the college entrance examination is very important to the students,so it's necessary to employ people with specialized knowledge to take care of them.Meanwhile,many parents are too busy to spare the time to look after their children.However,the rest of the people are opposed to it.In their view,employing “Gaokao nannies” is likely to make the students nervous,which may have bad effects on them.Besides,the students should go through this key period of time accompanied by their parents.
From my point of view,I totally disagree with the former.If I were one of those who have “Gaokao nannies”,I would not be used to being taken care of by an unfamiliar person who cannot possibly understand me as well as my parents.Furthermore,hiring a “Gaokao nanny” costs a lot,which may burden the parents.

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
Researches have shown that the first impression you make on an interviewer really counts.Fortunately,there are some actions you can take to help master the first impression.
Timing:Few things give a worse impression than showing up late for an important meeting.Allow yourself plenty of time to get to the interview in case you have trouble finding the office.Ideally,you should check in(报到) five to ten minutes early and always be polite and professional to everyone you meet—you never know how much influence the man may have on the hiring decision.
Appearance:Like it or not,people make judgments on appearances,so it's important to look like a good professional.Never wear anything sloppy(邋遢的) or tight.High-quality business suits are always appropriate for both men and women.And always be sure that your hair is clean.
Handshake:According to some experts,your grip(握法) expresses different meanings.Offer a weak handshake and your partner will think you're hesitant(犹豫的) or cowardly(怯懦的).Give a firm handshake and you can appear overly enthusiastic.But when you shake with a medium-firm grip,you express confidence.
Body language:The best way to make others comfortable when you first meet them is by giving them a true smile.A study found that 55 percent of communication is received from the body language.To ensure your body language shows your confidence,sit up straight with your shoulders back.Avoid crossing your legs and don't adopt a casual pose—even if your interviewer does.If staring straight into the interviewer's eyes makes you uncomfortable,look at her or his nose instead—it looks like you're still making eye contact,but might be less nervous.
36.The most harmful action to your first impression is________.
A.to dress casually B.to arrive late
C.to speak too much D.to cross your legs
37.To make a good first impression,you'd better______.
A.give a medium-firm grip to express confidence
B.not give a handshake to show your carefulness
C.give a weak handshake to show your good temper
D.give a strong handshake to show your strength
38.This text is especially suitable for those who want______.
A.to attend a job interview
B.to make a date with a new girlfriend
C.to see a stranger
D.to make a new friend in a party

My English teacher,Marsha Pincus,took time to ask whether her students had eaten breakfast in the morning,or if they had enough warm clothes to wear in winter.She did all that and more for me when I was growing up in inner-city Philadelphia,one of eight kids raised by a single mother.
Mrs.Pincus told me to come by or to call her if I needed to.She cared about me.She gave a skinny kid like me some extra support.
I was always something of a smart-mouth when I was young,but Mrs.Pincus helped me channel my enthusiasm into something positive.When she was out on maternity leave(产假) with her first child,a substitute teacher came in for English classes.On the first day,this teacher had trouble controlling the classroom.I watched kids cutting up in front of her and got really mad.This was my favorite class;I loved learning Shakespeare.
I knew the substitute would talk to Mrs.Pincus and that she'd be disappointed.“We need to stop this! ”I shouted.Usually I was the one clowning around,but the kids seemed to listen.I ended up standing in front of the room discussing Julius Caesar.Later,the substitute told Mrs.Pincus about the skinny boy who taught the lesson.Mrs.Pincus said she knew right away what had happened.“Without her even naming you,I knew it was you,” she told me.
Looking back,I think that was when the teacher in me started to emerge(显出).Mrs.Pincus retired this year after more than 30 years of teaching.I spoke at her retirement party.It was one of the hardest things I've ever done.But because of this lady's encouragement,I learned I belonged to the classroom,the front of it.
39.What can we know about Mrs.Marsha Pincus?
A.She liked to ask her students all kinds of questions.
B.She gave birth to more than eight children all her life.
C.She cared about all her students,especially the author.
D.She taught the author literature before her retirement.
40.It can be inferred from the text that________.
A.the substitute teacher was lacking in knowledge about English
B.Mrs.Pincus got really mad when she first learned about what happened
C.the author was quite thin when the story happened
D.Mrs.Pincus and the substitute teacher were good friends
41.We can say that the author is most probably________.
A.a journalist B.a teacher
C.a lawyer D.a novelist
42.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To remember one of his favorite teachers.
B.To tell an inspiring story about himself in his teens.
C.To show his close relationship with his teacher.
D.To share his good time spent in middle school.
C
In a world with limited land,water and other natural resources(资源),the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise.Actually,the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe becoming increasingly warm.People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed,and that we must be able to develop in sustainable(可持续的)ways.That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products.In other words,we should keep the globe healthy while using its supply of natural resources.
Today,sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries.According to a recent study,the global markets for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade.China,for example,has set its mind on leading that markets,hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution.It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy,and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains.In addition,we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油),which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest.In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown more than 50%.
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets.First,they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions(排放)and targets for saving and reusing energy.Besides,stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development.Finally,governments can avoid the huge public expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction,and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from the traditional model to a sustainable one.
The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet.That is no small task,but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.
43.The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ________.
A.it makes the world warmer
B.it consumes natural resources
C.it brings severe damage to future
D.it makes growth hard to continue
44.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.China lacks wind and solar energy.
B.China is the leader of the low-carbon markets.
C.High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.
D.Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.
45.We can learn from the last paragraph that business has many chances to________.
A.develop sustainable products
B.explore new natural resources
C.make full use of natural resources
D.deal with the major challenge
D
If you take it for granted that to study in university is the same as at middle school and high school,then you will be in for a surprise.
A change of attitude is involved in many ways when you go up to university.Although the process has been going on since you went to middle school,the biggest change is going to take place.Now,instead of taking several subjects,you have chosen one major subject because you find it interesting and worth exploring further.The choice is yours.You also have before you the goal of getting a degree.The degree,and the stages you have to pass through to achieve it,give you motivation,even though it may become weak from time to time,and not all parts of the course will be exciting;a sure way to lose interest is to do too little work.It is a law of diminishing returns—the less work you do,the less interest you will have and the more bored you will become.So regular work is needed to keep your interest as well as keep pace with new work.
Another change is in the relationship with those who teach you.This may well have changed during middle school and high school,but now the whole context is different.You are no longer forced to stay in school all day,and you organize your own time and place for studying.You are there to study actively rather than to be taught passively.Your teachers may or may not urge you,but they do want you to share their interest in the subject and they want you to succeed.
The teacher works as your coach or trainer.If you were becoming a professional tennis player or musician,you would expect your coach to look out for ways of improving your performance,and to criticize your work all the time;you would be silly to feel fed up about this—in fact you would sack your coach if he just said everything was fine.So if you get work back with a poorer mark than you expected and with various criticisms,don't feel discouraged by this.If you don't understand what is wrong and how to improve,then ask your teacher to explain and don't be satisfied until you do understand.
46.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.You need to study just one subject in university.
B.The desire to get a degree is always strong throughout the university days.
C.How hard-working the students are affects their interest in their study.
D.You needn't be taught by teachers in university.
47.The teachers in university ________.
A.have to urge you to study hard
B.may instruct you how to improve your studies
C.never criticize your work
D.never help you if you fail to understand a difficult problem
48.In university,what you can do includes________.
a.going shopping in the evening
b.organizing your class time
c.doing homework in your dormitory
d.staying in school all day
A.abc B.ac
C.bd D.acd
49.The underlined word “sack” in the last paragraph probably means________.
A.disbelieve B.like
C.fire D.thank
50.The main idea of the passage is that________.
A.students go to university to get a degree
B.going to university brings two major changes
C.students learn how to study in university
D.students learn to understand college life
Ⅳ.任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
We all have behaviors that we use to deal with issues in our lives that aren't constructive,rather they're ultimately destructive.However,because the behavior we choose is meeting some immediate need we continue to use them.These behaviors may be in the form of addictions such as a drug or alcohol addiction to avoid dealing with depression because we're having difficulties with boundaries.There're other types of behaviors that we all have to allow us to mask a problem or escape from facing truth.These mayn't reach the level of hard core addictions but they certainly rate up there as really bad habits or soft addictions.These soft addictions,if not addressed,can create bigger problems in our lives that then start to negativity impact our world.This,by very definition,then becomes a true addiction.The three top life wasting soft addictions that are all around us include:
Negativity—always nagging,always complaining and always looking for why sometime won't or can't work is the hallmark of a negative habit.This waste of our time in life leads to ruined relationships,missed opportunities and a low sense of self esteem as we become more and more isolated and less and less involved in the world around us.
Escape from reality—while alcohol and drugs are an escape from reality there're at least two other major ways to avoid dealing with the world around you and reality.These two include spending time in cyberspace instead of living in the real world and avoiding people by spending time watching television.When these two activities become your social world or you put off spending time with real people to interact or watch virtual people or characters,there's a real disconnect with a healthy social life.
Food—there're real food addictions that are very serious,but there're also people that use food as a crutch or a tool to deal with issues without becoming truly addicted.Food soft addictions are a life wasting behavior since this type of uncontrolled food use can
lead to health problems that dramatically affect length and quality of life.
Talk to a life coach,addiction therapist or a counselor if you think that any behavior that you're using on a regular basis is negatively impacting your life.It's never too late to get on a positive track!

综合检测(一)
1.B talk about“谈论,谈起”;go about“着手(做某事),从事”;care about“关心”;come about“产生,发生”。根据句意“由于他们的试验失败了,我们必须更加谨慎地进行试验。”可知选B。
2.D 分析句子结构可知,is是系动词,其后为表语从句,从句中do为及物动词,所以从句缺宾语,故选what。
3.C carried out为过去分词短语在句中作see的宾语补足语。see sth. done结构意为“看见某事被做”。
4.B set up建立,创办;set down写下,记下;set about着手做;set off出发,动身。根据前一句“她是个勤奋的学生”可以推断后一句应是“她总是将老师讲的重点记下来”,所以选B。
5.A 句意:虽然一位成功的商人或发明家通常会变得富有,但许多在自己的领域中杰出的人对个人财产并不太关心。while在此引导让步状语从句,意为“虽然”。
6.A 由with her eyes ________ on the opposite wall可看出,填空处做with的复合宾语,排除C、D。fix和eyes是动宾关系,所以要用fixed,过去分词表示被动。
7.A 句意:在这么短的时间他几乎不能完成这么多工作。get through“完成”;get off“下车”;get into“进入”;get down“下来”。
8.D 考查倒装。表方位的介词短语under a big tree位于句首,句子应用完全倒装,不用助动词,因而选择D项。
9.A 考查形容词词义辨析。根据语境“只买我们能买得起和需要的”可知,买东西时要实际一些。
10.B 考查暗喻及介词的用法。此处把生活比作是一条曲线,“充满”应该用full of来表示,故选B项。
11.C 句意:一般来说,北方人爱吃饺子,南方人爱吃米饭。in common“共同地”;in total“整个地”;in general“一般地”;in particular“特别地”。
12.C 考查短语辨析。句意:今天早晨的雾太大了以至于司机们几乎不能看清前面十米远的物体。figure out想出,算出,理解;take out拿出,带……出去;make out看出,辨认出;rule out消除。
13.B 考查动词辨析。support支持,符合句意。consider考虑;agree同意;confirm证实,均不符合句意。
14.A 考查副词短语。more than+adj.表示“非常,很”的意思,此处是很高兴;other than意思是“不同于,除了”;rather than意思是“胜过,而不是”;less than少于,决不。
15.A 从语境得知,对方在道歉,只能用 That's all right/It doesn't matter/Never mind(没关系)等回答;It's a pleasure/You are welcome/Don't mention it 都是回答 Thank you 的用语。
【语篇解读】 在医院做实习生的经历让我认识到,关爱可以化干戈为玉帛,强悍与冷酷在爱面前显得柔弱无力。
16.B 尽管我知道Rose是一个很难相处的人,但还是尽量表现出高兴的样子。根据行文逻辑可知,作者已经对Rose有所了解。hopeful有希望的;careful谨慎的;pitiful可怜的,以上三项均与语境不符。cheerful高兴的,与语境相符。
17.A character性格;fame声誉,通常指好的声誉;habit习惯,均与语境不符。reputation名声,此处指不好的名声。
18.C Rose停下来,从眼镜边上瞥了我一眼。peer窥视,不正眼看,有蔑视之意。
19.B 从她的表情来看,她不愿意在这儿看到实习生。surprised惊讶的;honored荣幸的;supposed应当的。根据语境可知pleased符合当时Rose的表情。
20.A 根据下文可知,“我”为患者们冲咖啡。
21.B Rose粗鲁地打断了我正在干的活儿。interrupt打断,打扰。involve涉及,卷入;disturb打扰,干扰;claim声称,均与语境不符。
22.D 她进来后,从我的手中夺过咖啡壶。turn over推翻,颠覆;get over克服;look over监视,均与语境不符。take over抢过去,占领。从Rose咄咄逼人的态度来看,D项正确。
23.A 她粗鲁地说“病人们更喜欢我冲的咖啡”。comment评论;describe描述;speak说(后接除English等表语言的名词外,不接宾语),这三项都与语境不符。
24.C 直到此时我才意识到我从来没有遇到过像Rose这样的人。remind提醒;remember记得;recognize辨认,均不符合文意。
25.B 根据下文叙述可知,Rose其实是一个受过伤害的人。boring令人厌倦的;puzzling令人费解的;caring悉心的。根据语境可知,B项正确。
26.C 我了解到,Rose的年迈的父母需要她的照顾,她自己身体也不好,她的丈夫是个酒鬼,她正考虑跟他离婚。根据语境,这些都是Rose的负担。因此C项正确。bother打扰;raise抚养;help帮助,均与语境不符。burden负担。
27.B 从alcoholic一词判断,Rose是讨厌她的丈夫这样堕落的。因此她打算离开他。care照顾;escape逃避;visit拜访,均与语境不符。
28.C 不久我将返校继续读书了。根据语境可知,作者只是跟着Rose实习,是在校生。实习结束后将返校学习。根据full-time的暗示可知。
29.C 一天当我在医院的一个厨房独自工作时,Rose走了进来。while在……的时候。根据行文逻辑可知,since从……以来;because因为;before在……之前,都与语境不符。
30.A 根据Instead of her blue uniform可知,她是穿着休闲装来医院与我告别的。dress为及物动词,意为“为……穿衣”,不符合语境。
31.B 她走过来,匆匆地拥抱了我一下。shy害羞的;caring悉心的;gentle温柔的,根据语境这些描述均不符合Rose的性格特点。她的遭遇使她养成了形色匆忙、对别人态度冰冷的处事风格。
32.D 说完,她马上转身走出门去。satisfactorily满足地;proudly傲慢地;unwillingly不情愿地,均与语境不符。immediately立刻,立即。
33.B 尽管我再也没有见到Rose,但我依然很清楚地记得她。obviously明显地;frequently频繁地;consequently结果是。根据never一词的暗示,可知vividly(鲜明地,清晰地)一词符合语境。
34.A 那年夏天我学到了一个永远都不会忘记的道理。lesson道理,教训;technique技巧,工艺;moral寓意,fact事实。分析语境可知,A项正确。
35.D 我发现要化干戈为玉帛的话,关爱是最好的手段。分析语境可知,hatred憎恨;help帮助;communication沟通,均与语境不符。
【语篇解读】 本文为信息材料类说明文。良好的第一印象是通往职场的“敲门砖”,而不良的第一印象也会变成求职路上的“绊脚石”。
36.B 推理判断题。由第二段首句可知,不守时是最糟糕的。
37.A 细节理解题。第四段解释了握手时不同的力度往往意味着不同的含义,中等力度的握手不卑不亢,最为合适、恰当。
38.A 写作对象题。从第二段最后一句,hiring一词可得到提示,从全文也可看出本篇文章主要是给参加面试的人提供了一些建议。
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。作者讲述了Pincus老师对他的帮助、鼓励和影响。
39.C 细节理解题。从文章第一段中的叙述得知Mrs.Pincus经常对学生们嘘寒问暖,呵护备至,而对我的关心更是有过之而无不及。
40.C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Later,the substitute told Mrs.Pincus about the skinny boy who taught the lesson.”可知,作者当时很瘦。
41.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Looking back,I think that was when the teacher in me started to emerge.”和“But because of this lady's encouragement,I learned I belonged to the classroom,the front of it”可知作者深受这位英语老师的影响,发现自己也是属于讲台的。故他最有可能是老师。
42.A 意图猜测题。作者在Mrs.Pincus退休的时候写下了这篇文章,回忆了当年发生的故事。正是Mrs.Pincus的关怀和鼓励改变了作者,因此撰此文纪念老师,感谢老师。
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。文章叙述了传统的商业结构对地球自然资源的危害,包括温室效应等环境问题。在政府的努力下,中国将走可持续发展道路,低碳生活也将成为世界的主导趋势。
43.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise和the globe becoming increasingly warm可知,地球气候越来越暖,对将来有很大的危害。
44.C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段可知,中国为了低碳生活正努力尝试着利用风能和太阳能;花费巨资制造电车和高速火车,故选C正确。
45.A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries可知,给商业提供了很多机会来生产可持续性工业产品。
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在进入大学之后,你会发现大学生活与初中和高中生活有着截然不同的方面,而且个人的学习态度以及老师的态度都会对学生和生活产生很大的影响。

47.B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段The teacher works as your coach or trainer.可判断,老师会指导学生进行学习。
48.D 细节理解题。根据文章第三段You are no longer forced to stay in school all day,and you organize your own time and place for studying.可判断,学生不必一直待在学校;可以安排自己的学习时间和地点。
49.C 猜测词义题。根据you would be silly to feel fed up about this可知,你不应该感到满足,要坚持让老师把你的问题解决,因此in fact you would sack your coach if he just said everything was fine,很显然如果教练说事事都可以的话,你就会解雇他。
50.B 主旨大意题。根据文章大意,本文主要写了大学生活带来的两种改变,可判断B正确。
51.Behaviors 52.constructive 53.addictions 54.types/kinds
55.leads 56.reality 57.cyberspace 58.Food 59.issues/problems 60.affect/influence

A_domestic_service_company_in_Beijing_provided_“Gaokao_nannies”_for_students_who_will_take_part_in_the_college_entrance_examination.The_nannies_can_not_only_tutor_the_students_in_their_weak_subjects_but_also_wash_clothes_and_cook_meals_for_them.As for the matter,opinions are divided.
60% of the people are in favor of it.They think the college entrance examination is very important to the students,so it's necessary to employ people with specialized knowledge to take care of them.Meanwhile,many parents are too busy to spare the time to look after their children.However,the rest of the people are opposed to it.In their view,employing “Gaokao nannies” is likely to make the students nervous,which may have bad effects on them.Besides,the students should go through this key period of time accompanied by their parents.
From my point of view,I totally disagree with the former.If I were one of those who have “Gaokao nannies”,I would not be used to being taken care of by an unfamiliar person who cannot possibly understand me as well as my parents.Furthermore,hiring a “Gaokao nanny” costs a lot,which may burden the parents.

Are you fresh out of college,looking to start a career?Have you recently started your very first job? Here are some nice tips to guide you through the first few days.
1.Listen more than you talk.Collect the information about how the organization works,and the reasons why,before you offer “helpful” advice.
2.Don't segregate yourself with people in your age group.Get to know older workers,too.The young group may be more fun for happy hours,but those who are a decade or more older than you can possibly help with your career.And you might find out you enjoy the company,too!
3.Take mistakes seriously.There's nothing more disappointing than a worker who made a mistake and doesn't seem to think it's a big deal.When you make a mistake,immediately be responsible for it,figure out how you're going to fix it,and make it clear that you understand its seriousness.Responses(回复)like “my bad” or worse,no response at all,signal that you don't take work seriously.
4.Take notes.Your boss expects you to remember the special instructions you were given.For most people,that means taking notes.And while a good manager is happy to answer questions,she won't be if the questions are ones she already answered when you weren't bothering to pay attention.
5.Be open to learning.College gave you theory;work is going to give something entirely different.So stay modest and realize your first job is going to be largely about learning.
6.Thank people who help you.When your boss or another coworker(同事)takes the time to help you with something,give them a sincere “thank you”.People who feel appreciated are more likely to go out of their way for you again.If you don't seem to care,they probably won't bother again.
1.The passage is written for________.
A.fresh graduates B.company leaders
C.old workers D.new advisers
2.The underlined word “segregate” probably means________.
A.connect B.treat
C.separate D.share
3.If you made a mistake you should________.
A.think it's not a big deal
B.try to fix it at once
C.say something like “my bad”
D.give no responses at all
4.If you want to remember something that has been given,you had better ________.
A.listen more than you talk
B.take mistakes seriously
C.take notes
D.be open to learning
5.From the last two paragraphs we can learn ________.
A.work can also give us some theory
B.we should often help our coworkers
C.we shouldn't bother to appreciate others
D.we should care for others' help

(2013·福建高考)A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg,the program's founder,said: “We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.”
“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth.For example,we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.”
“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring,it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn,14,is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum(论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world,to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look.Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event.Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience.“Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop,it was amazing,” he said,“We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.
Kieran said:“It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit www.younginspirations.com.
6.The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to ________.
A.train staff for world-famous firms
B.offer job opportunities to young adults
C.provide youth with unique experiences
D.equip the unemployed with different skills
7.According to Alex Goldberg,it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to ________.
A.the lack of support from firms
B.the cultural differences
C.the effect of unemployment
D.the shortage of money
8.According to the passage,the forum focused on how youth can ________.
A.build up their confidence at school
B.find work experience opportunities
C.improve their social skills for the future
D.play an active role in the change of society
9.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing
B.Kieran has made great progress in many aspects
C.the youth have found a way to solve their problems
D.the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday
10.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Alex Goldberg,Founder of Young Inspirations
B.Young People Find a World of Opportunity
C.Kieran,Banbury School Pupil to Paris
D.Debates Help Youth with Their Grades

Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章向刚刚走出大学校门,准备找工作或刚开始工作的毕业生提供了6条实用且有效的建议。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,本文是向刚刚走出大学校门,准备找工作或刚开始工作的毕业生提供一些建议。故答案为A。只要准确理解第一段段意,此题就不会误选。
2.C 词义猜测题。根据段落内容,特别是Get to know older workers too“同时和前辈搞好关系”可判断出这句话的意思是“不要跟你的同龄人一起而与其他人搞隔离”。故答案为C。其他选项放在句中意思逻辑不通顺。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第四段可知,一旦犯错,立刻承担起自己的责任,尽快找出解决的方法。只是说“是我的错”或者更糟糕的是,完全没有任何反应,表现出你完全不把你的工作当回事。故答案为B。其他选项都是不应该做的。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第五段可知,如果你要详细记住给你的指示或老板已经说过的话,你一定要记笔记。故答案为C。
5.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,他们得到感谢后,你再次遇到困难时,他们是更乐于伸出援助之手的。如果你不把别人的善意当回事,那很可能下次他们也不再理你。由此可判断出“我们应该尊重别人的帮助”。故答案为D。其他选项与最后两段的内容不相符。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一种新型体系——Young Inspirations。这种体系既能提高年轻人的学业水平,又能帮助他们拥有更多的生活经历以便更好地塑造未来。
6.C 推理判断题。通读文章我们可以发现Young Inspirations不仅能帮助年轻人提高学业水平还能为他们塑造美好未来提供各种经验,故C项正确。A项“为世界著名公司培训员工”,更换了适用对象,与原文不符;B项给young adults提供工作,扩大了适用对象,也不正确;D项“为失业者培训不同的技能”,也是片面的。
7.D 细节理解题。由第五段第一句可知由于资金缩减,造成了学校采用这一体系的困难,所以D项正确。A项“缺少公司支持”,与第四段最后一句“我们与世界著名公司,如Honda公司落实了实习关系”这一表述相矛盾;B项和C项文章没有提及。
8.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段可知这次讨论会的主题是年轻人如何驾驭政治和公众生活的变化,这将对他们人生的变化起着积极的指导作用,所以D项正确。A、C两项的表述只是Kieran的个人看法而不是讨论会的主题;文章并没有提到讨论会的主题是“找到就业经验机会”,故B项不正确。
9.B 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二、三段不难推断,这次讨论会不仅使Kieran获得了信心,而且社会技能和学业也取得了巨大进步,故B项正确;A项错在这次参观的目的地不是英国而是法国。C项“年轻人通过这次论坛已经找到了解决问题的办法”,过于绝对化;D项“导师制论坛除了星期五每天都举行”,而文章最后一段讲到“只在周五举行”,正好相反。
10.B 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍通过关于导师制这一新体系的参观研讨活动,给年轻人的未来生活提供了许多经验和机会,故B项正确。A项只是介绍创始人;C项只是一个个案,没有升华为主题;D项则强调辩论的意义,偏离主题。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The words “college” and “university”represent educational institutions,but there is a difference.At the same time the difference between a college and a university also changes according to the area it is preferred to be in.The meaning of college and university is different in the USA from what it means in Canada and UK.
The word “college”is taken from the Latin word “collegium.”The meaning of the word is a group of people staying together for a common purpose,but with their own choice.Hence,you will often come across college students referred to as fellows.However,the word “college” as we use today is used to show an educational institution.There are different undergraduate and graduate courses offered in colleges.The traditional meaning of college was an institution,which was a part of a university.The university was divided into colleges for administration purposes.
Like the word “college”,the word “university” is also taken from the Latin words “universitas magistrorum et scholarium”.The meaning of the word “university” has not undergone a sea of changes and it continues to mean almost the same.In other words,universities are seats of advanced education,which offer opportunities both for learning as well as for research.
The difference between college and university lies in the variety of courses offered.Often colleges are restricted to one kind of field.They offer education either in science,arts,commerce,law,business,etc.However,there are either different departments or colleges under a university.The universities have advanced degrees like Masters and PhD programs.
Normally colleges have a limited number of students and the focus of this institution is on teaching.On the other hand,the focus of universities is teaching as well as research.However,research is where often a lot of focus is laid on.
Though colleges offer courses,the degrees are presented by the university to which the college is accredited(被认可) to.In other words,the university can be looked upon as the parent body and the colleges have to follow the rules laid down by the universities.
1.The text is mainly talks about ________.
A.how the college came into being
B.the difference between a college and a university

Ⅲ.阅读理解
The term “underemployment” has three related meanings.In one sense,it refers to a situation in which someone with excellent job qualifications(资格) is working in a position that requires less qualifications,as for instance in the case of a lawyer driving a school bus.In the second sense,it means working part-time when one would prefer to be working full-time.In the third sense,it is a form of over-staffing(人浮于事) in which employees are not being fully made use of.
All forms of underemployment have effect on the economy and the health of the business community.Long-term underemployment can also cover up the truth behind the employment situations.When nations collect employment statistics,they usually come up with a base number of “unemployed” individuals,using that number to judge the health of the job market.This number does not include part-time workers looking for full-time jobs,as they are considered employed,and it also doesn't reflect workers who are underpaid,considering their qualifications.
In the first sense,underemployment is a common problem in many of the developed world.Many people with college degrees are working in low-level or service industry jobs because the job market is full.
The issue of part-time employment is also very serious.Some people are forced into part-time jobs,while others find themselves taking a part-time job because nothing else is available,even though they really need to work full-time.This problem is especially common in areas with seasonal employment,where employers find it cheaper to maintain and lay off part-time staffs,rather than keeping a full staff at all times.
In the sense of shortage of workers,underemployment appears in a variety of situations.Some companies maintain a full staff to be prepared for seasonal work,or to keep well-trained,qualified workers so that they will be available when needed.Labor laws and union pressures may also prevent a company from cutting down on staff or working hours,leading to a situation in which people report to work,but have nothing to do.
1.The purpose of the passage is________.
A.to show underemployment is becoming more serious today
B.to imply women are laid off more than men
C.to explain the meaning of “underemployment”
D.to tell the present economic situations
2.According to the text,underemployment means______.
A.the same meaning as the word—unemployed
B.employees are not fully taken charge of
C.qualified workers get a low salary
D.people who do manual work for wages
3.When it comes to unemployment statistics,________.
A.the underpaid workers are included
B.it implies the people who are jobless
C.the part-time employees are included
D.it shows the employment situation of a country
4.Which of the following is NOT TRUE to the 4th and 5th paragraph?
A.Underemployment only occurs in advanced countries.
B.People with college degrees sometimes take a part-time job.
C.Part-time staffs seems benefit from firms less.
D.Companies need full-time staffs indeed.
5.Some companies maintain a full staff________.
A.to compete with others in the future
B.to make preparations for seasonal work
C.to get the skilled workers paid
D.to obey labor laws and union pressures
Ⅳ.阅读填空
There are two basic ways to see growth:one as a product,the other as a process.People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured.The worker who gets a rise,the student whose grades improve,the foreigner who learns a new language-all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
By contrast(对照),the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine,since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way.The process is not the road itself,but the attitudes,feelings people have,and their caution or courage,as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties.In this process,the journey never really ends;there are always new ways to experience the world,new ideas to try,new challenges to accept.
In order to grow,to travel new roads,people need to have a willingness to take risks,to face the unknown,and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first.How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow.Do we see ourselves as quick and curious?If so,we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences.Do we think we're shy and indecisive?Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate,to move slowly,and we think we are slow to adapt(适应)change or that we're not smart enough to deal with a new challenge.Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity(不安全)and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow.If we protect ourselves too much,then we stop growing.We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.

6.self-confident 7.artistic 8.tailors 9.greengrocer 10.pianists
Ⅱ.1.B 句意:现在的情况非常复杂,因此我想过一段时间我才能够弄清楚实际情况。make up编造;figure out弄清楚;look through 浏览:put off 推迟。由句意可知选B项。
2.B 句意:她们一样高,但我觉得玛丽能胜任这项工作。第一空修饰名词height,所以用形容词equal,表示“身高相等”;第二空和the job连用,所以用be equal to,表示“胜任这项工作”。
3.B in general(一般说来,通常,总体上)和后面的in particular(特别,尤其)相对。根据句意“我们正在努力从总体上增强环境意识,特别是提高对空气污染的意识。”可知选B。in return作为回报;in common共同;in contrast相比之下,都不合题意。
4.D 句意:恐怕你不能指望他们在1小时内完成这项工作,你得考虑到他们缺少经验这方面。allow for考虑,考虑到。A、C两项不是固定词组,B项allow of的意思是“容许……,容许有……的可能”。
5.D 考查动词辨析。句意:我们已学会正确处理各种复杂情况。approach意为“处理,对付”,其他选项不符合句意。
6.B 句意:这座小镇不只是一个小镇,它还是许多人愿意停留的地方。no more than表示“仅仅”;more than表示“超过,多于,不仅是”;no less than表示“不亚于,不少于”。
7.A 根据语境,前一个说话人表示感谢,所以对方应回答“不客气,不用谢”,所以选A。
8.D interfere with妨碍,干扰;cope with处理,应对;continue with继续进行;correspond with与……相对应,与……相符。句意:让我不安的是,我的选择与我女儿的并不一致。故选D。
9.C 考查动词词义辨析。persuade sb.into doing sth.=persuade sb.to do sth.意为“说服某人做某事”。此处为其被动语态形式。express表达;organize组织;成立;prefer更喜欢,选择某事物(而不选择其他事物),均不符合句意。
10.C set out出发,动身,着手做;set aside存储,拔出;set up建立,创办,创设;set down放下,记下。主语是A fund,fund意为“基金会”,谓语动词应用set up。句意:抚恤死难工人家属的基金会即将建立起来。
11.C 名词approach 后的 to 是介词,因而 to 后面的动词应当用动名词,故选择C项。
12.C 句意:当我反复提出的加入俱乐部的要求被拒绝时,我感到非常失望。reject表“拒绝”,符合题意。
13.C would rather接完成式表示对已发生的事情感到自责,具有虚拟的语气,其否定式在rather后加not。
14.A 表示正式委婉的请求用request。
15.C 根据时间状语then可知C项为最佳答案。句意:今晚7点到8点之间你最好不要打电话给经理,因为那个时候他正在参加一个重要的会议。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。低度就业或不充分就业不是指没有工作,常常指有着某种专业资格的人从事着非专业的工作,也指本应该从事全职工作,而实际在做临时工作,或者人浮于事的状态。本文给我们讲述的就是低度就业的三个层面及其形成原因。
1.C 主旨大意题。全文在解释underemployment的含义,故选C。
2.B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段对underemployment的解释:In the third sense,it is a form of overstaffing in which employees are not being fully made use of.可知B正确。
3.B 推理判断题。第二段的第三句提及国家的就业统计,包含临时工作的人和现在付给工资的人,由此推断失业统计则包含没有工作的人,故选B。
4.A 细节理解题。虽然第三段提到了在发达国家低就业很常见,但是并没有说低就业仅发生在发达国家,由此可知A不符合文章的意义。误解分析:根据第三段第二句可知B正确;第四段的it cheaper to maintain and lay off part-time staffs说明C正确;根据第四段的even though they really need to work full-time可知D正确。
5.B 细节理解题。文章最后一段提到有些公司没有解雇员工是为季节性的工作做准备,由此可知B正确。
Ⅳ.1.Growth 2.measured 3.much more difficult 4.get a rise 5.their grades 6.caution or courage 7.in new ways

Are you fresh out of college,looking to start a career?Have you recently started your very first job? Here are some nice tips to guide you through the first few days.
1.Listen more than you talk.Collect the information about how the organization works,and the reasons why,before you offer “helpful” advice.
2.Don't segregate yourself with people in your age group.Get to know older workers,too.The young group may be more fun for happy hours,but those who are a decade or more older than you can possibly help with your career.And you might find out you enjoy the company,too!
3.Take mistakes seriously.There's nothing more disappointing than a worker who made a mistake and doesn't seem to think it's a big deal.When you make a mistake,immediately be responsible for it,figure out how you're going to fix it,and make it clear that you understand its seriousness.Responses(回复)like “my bad” or worse,no response at all,signal that you don't take work seriously.
4.Take notes.Your boss expects you to remember the special instructions you were given.For most people,that means taking notes.And while a good manager is happy to answer questions,she won't be if the questions are ones she already answered when you weren't bothering to pay attention.
5.Be open to learning.College gave you theory;work is going to give something entirely different.So stay modest and realize your first job is going to be largely about learning.
6.Thank people who help you.When your boss or another coworker(同事)takes the time to help you with something,give them a sincere “thank you”.People who feel appreciated are more likely to go out of their way for you again.If you don't seem to care,they probably won't bother again.
1.The passage is written for________.
A.fresh graduates B.company leaders
C.old workers D.new advisers
2.The underlined word “segregate” probably means________.
A.connect B.treat
C.separate D.share
3.If you made a mistake you should________.
A.think it's not a big deal
B.try to fix it at once
C.say something like “my bad”
D.give no responses at all
4.If you want to remember something that has been given,you had better ________.
A.listen more than you talk
B.take mistakes seriously
C.take notes
D.be open to learning
5.From the last two paragraphs we can learn ________.
A.work can also give us some theory
B.we should often help our coworkers
C.we shouldn't bother to appreciate others
D.we should care for others' help

(2013·福建高考)A MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.
Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.
Alex Goldberg,the program's founder,said: “We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.
“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth.For example,we've secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.
“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring,it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn,14,is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization's (UNESCO) International Youth Forum(论坛).
The event was held for young people from around the world,to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look.Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event.Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience.“Before we left I didn't quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didn't stop,it was amazing,” he said,“We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”
The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.
Kieran said:“It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”
The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.For details visit www.younginspirations.com.
6.The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to ________.
A.train staff for world-famous firms
B.offer job opportunities to young adults
C.provide youth with unique experiences
D.equip the unemployed with different skills
7.According to Alex Goldberg,it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to ________.
A.the lack of support from firms
B.the cultural differences
C.the effect of unemployment
D.the shortage of money
8.According to the passage,the forum focused on how youth can ________.
A.build up their confidence at school
B.find work experience opportunities
C.improve their social skills for the future
D.play an active role in the change of society
9.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.the visit to the United Kingdom was amazing
B.Kieran has made great progress in many aspects
C.the youth have found a way to solve their problems
D.the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday
10.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Alex Goldberg,Founder of Young Inspirations
B.Young People Find a World of Opportunity
C.Kieran,Banbury School Pupil to Paris
D.Debates Help Youth with Their Grades

14.D suit和fit均可作及物动词,fit一般用作sth.fits sb.,此处be suitable for符合句意。
15.A available可利用的;valuable有价值的;ordinary普通的;comfortable舒适的,根据题意应选A项。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章向刚刚走出大学校门,准备找工作或刚开始工作的毕业生提供了6条实用且有效的建议。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,本文是向刚刚走出大学校门,准备找工作或刚开始工作的毕业生提供一些建议。故答案为A。只要准确理解第一段段意,此题就不会误选。
2.C 词义猜测题。根据段落内容,特别是Get to know older workers too“同时和前辈搞好关系”可判断出这句话的意思是“不要跟你的同龄人一起而与其他人搞隔离”。故答案为C。其他选项放在句中意思逻辑不通顺。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第四段可知,一旦犯错,立刻承担起自己的责任,尽快找出解决的方法。只是说“是我的错”或者更糟糕的是,完全没有任何反应,表现出你完全不把你的工作当回事。故答案为B。其他选项都是不应该做的。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第五段可知,如果你要详细记住给你的指示或老板已经说过的话,你一定要记笔记。故答案为C。
5.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,他们得到感谢后,你再次遇到困难时,他们是更乐于伸出援助之手的。如果你不把别人的善意当回事,那很可能下次他们也不再理你。由此可判断出“我们应该尊重别人的帮助”。故答案为D。其他选项与最后两段的内容不相符。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一种新型体系——Young Inspirations。这种体系既能提高年轻人的学业水平,又能帮助他们拥有更多的生活经历以便更好地塑造未来。
6.C 推理判断题。通读文章我们可以发现Young Inspirations不仅能帮助年轻人提高学业水平还能为他们塑造美好未来提供各种经验,故C项正确。A项“为世界著名公司培训员工”,更换了适用对象,与原文不符;B项给young adults提供工作,扩大了适用对象,也不正确;D项“为失业者培训不同的技能”,也是片面的。
7.D 细节理解题。由第五段第一句可知由于资金缩减,造成了学校采用这一体系的困难,所以D项正确。A项“缺少公司支持”,与第四段最后一句“我们与世界著名公司,如Honda公司落实了实习关系”这一表述相矛盾;B项和C项文章没有提及。
8.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段可知这次讨论会的主题是年轻人如何驾驭政治和公众生活的变化,这将对他们人生的变化起着积极的指导作用,所以D项正确。A、C两项的表述只是Kieran的个人看法而不是讨论会的主题;文章并没有提到讨论会的主题是“找到就业经验机会”,故B项不正确。
9.B 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二、三段不难推断,这次讨论会不仅使Kieran获得了信心,而且社会技能和学业也取得了巨大进步,故B项正确;A项错在这次参观的目的地不是英国而是法国。C项“年轻人通过这次论坛已经找到了解决问题的办法”,过于绝对化;D项“导师制论坛除了星期五每天都举行”,而文章最后一段讲到“只在周五举行”,正好相反。
10.B 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍通过关于导师制这一新体系的参观研讨活动,给年轻人的未来生活提供了许多经验和机会,故B项正确。A项只是介绍创始人;C项只是一个个案,没有升华为主题;D项则强调辩论的意义,偏离主题。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The words “college” and “university”represent educational institutions,but there is a difference.At the same time the difference between a college and a university also changes according to the area it is preferred to be in.The meaning of college and university is different in the USA from what it means in Canada and UK.
The word “college”is taken from the Latin word “collegium.”The meaning of the word is a group of
people staying together for a common purpose,but with their own choice.Hence,you will often come across college students referred to as fellows.However,the word “college” as we use today is used to show an educational institution.There are different undergraduate and graduate courses offered in colleges.The traditional meaning of college was an institution,which was a part of a university.The university was divided into colleges for administration purposes.
Like the word “college”,the word “university” is also taken from the Latin words “universitas magistrorum et scholarium”.The meaning of the word “university” has not undergone a sea of changes and it continues to mean almost the same.In other words,universities are seats of advanced education,which offer opportunities both for learning as well as for research.
The difference between college and university lies in the variety of courses offered.Often colleges are restricted to one kind of field.They offer education either in science,arts,commerce,law,business,etc.However,there are either different departments or colleges under a university.The universities have advanced degrees like Masters and PhD programs.
Normally colleges have a limited number of students and the focus of this institution is on teaching.On the other hand,the focus of universities is teaching as well as research.However,research is where often a lot of focus is laid on.
Though colleges offer courses,the degrees are presented by the university to which the college is accredited(被认可) to.In other words,the university can be looked upon as the parent body and the colleges have to follow the rules laid down by the universities.

2.C 第二句为倒装句,原句为:Our alumni from home and abroad are attending the ceremony of the 50th Anniversary this morning.句意:尊敬的来宾们、朋友们,欢迎大家来到我们学校。今天上午出席我校50周年庆典的是来自海内外的校友。故选C。
3.C as well as用来连接两个并列的主语时,句中谓语动词在人称和数上必须与第一个主语(The father)一致,根据时间状语every Sunday afternoon可知用一般现在时。
4.B 句意:当我们作假期计划时,妈妈经常提出一些实用的建议。practical“实用的,实际的”。careful“仔细的”;effective“有影响的”;practise“练习,实行”,皆不合句意。
5.D 根据情景I used to quarrel a lot with my parents和转折连词but的提示可以判断出“现在我和父母的关系相处的很好”,所以选择get along意为“(与人)相处”。look out“当心,注意”;stay up“不睡觉,熬夜”;carry on“继续,进行,开展,经营”。
6.B be familiar with sth.对某事熟悉,通晓某事;be familiar to sb为某人所熟悉。句意:周杰伦通晓音乐,他为青年歌迷们所熟悉。

2.A 考查名词用法。本题空格信息和第三段首句信息一致。说明这位大学毕业生非但没有感到沮丧,反而将此作为拓展自己视野的良好机遇,促进个性成长。
3.B 考查形容词用法。本句空格信息表示经历了40次求职遭拒后,他开始意识到什么。这和上文第一段倒数第二句中的“rejection”意义一致。
4.A 考查介词短语用法。上文已经提到求职遭拒,所以应该为连续40次失败。
5.D 考查连词用法。由于句子中有“do with”,所以连词应该使用what。
6.A 考查动词用法。由于万般无奈和无措,所以他萌生了在50周内去全国50个州周游寻求50个不同工作岗位的奇特打算。“hatch”表示“秘密策划,谋划”,符合语义要求。

14.C 考查名词的用法。和前面的信息照应,既然是开阔了视野,自然应该对每一种工作都形成自己独有的看法和观点。“insight”表示“观点,看法”,符合语义要求。
15.B 考查with复合结构用法。由于本结构中没有谓语动词成分,所以不能选连词as。该短语结构意义为“尽管这次游历还剩下短短几个月”。
16.D 考查名词用法。根据常识,我们应该知道,只有老板雇用员工。
17.B 考查名词用法。这和下文中的美国人的热情好客信息一致。将陌生人请到家中做客,显示了美国人的好客与热情。

2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的There are different undergraduate and graduate courses offered in colleges.可知答案为C项。误解分析:根据第一段可知,在不同国家college含义不同,排除A;由第二段可知现在college是教育机构,故排除B项;根据倒数第二段的the focus of universities is teaching as well as research可排除D项。

5.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段的最后一句可知,college是university的附属,故university会有很多的college。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
The term “underemployment” has three related meanings.In one sense,it refers to a situation in which someone with excellent job qualifications(资格) is working in a position that requires less qualifications,as for instance in the case of a lawyer driving a school bus.In the second sense,it means working part-time when one would prefer to be working full-time.In the third sense,it is a form of overstaffing(人浮于事) in which employees are not being fully made use of.
All forms of underemployment have effect on the economy and the health of the business community.Long-term underemployment can also cover up the truth behind the employment situations.When nations collect employment statistics,they usually come up with a base number of “unemployed” individuals,using that number to judge the health of the job market.This number does not include part-time workers looking for full-time jobs,as they are considered employed,and it also doesn't reflect workers who are underpaid,considering their qualifications.
In the first sense,underemployment is a common problem in many of the developed world.Many people with college degrees are working in low-level or service industry jobs because the job market is full.
The issue of part-time employment is also very serious.Some people are forced into part-time jobs,while others find themselves taking a part-time job because nothing else is available,even though they really need to work full-time.This problem is especially common in areas with seasonal employment,where employers find it cheaper to maintain and lay off part-time staffs,rather than keeping a full staff at all times.
In the sense of shortage of workers,underemployment appears in a variety of situations.Some companies maintain a full staff to be prepared for seasonal work,or to keep well-trained,qualified workers so that they will be available when needed.Labor laws and union pressures may also prevent a company from cutting down on staff or working hours,leading to a situation in which people report to work,but have nothing to do.
1.The purpose of the passage is________.
A.to show underemployment is becoming more serious today
B.to imply women are laid off more than men
C.to explain the meaning of “underemployment”
D.to tell the present economic situations
2.According to the text,underemployment means______.
A.the same meaning as the word—unemployed
B.employees are not fully taken charge of
C.qualified workers get a low salary
D.people who do manual work for wages
3.When it comes to unemployment statistics,________.
A.the underpaid workers are included
B.it implies the people who are jobless
C.the part-time employees are included
D.it shows the employment situation of a country
4.Which of the following is NOT TRUE to the 4th and 5th paragraph?
A.Underemployment only occurs in advanced countries.
B.People with college degrees sometimes take a part-time job.
C.Part-time staffs seems benefit from firms less.
D.Companies need full-time staffs indeed.
5.Some companies maintain a full staff________.
A.to compete with others in the future
B.to make preparations for seasonal work
C.to get the skilled workers paid
D.to obey labor laws and union pressures
Ⅳ.任务型阅读
Quiet Virtue:The Conscientious
The everyday signs of conscientiousness (认真尽责)—being punctual,careful in doing work,self-disciplined,and scrupulous(一丝不苟的) in attending to responsibilities—are typical characteristics of the model organizational citizen,the people who keep things running as they should.They follow the rules,help out,and are concerned about the people they work with.It's the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence,who gets to work on time and never abuses sick leaves,who always gets things done on deadline.
Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field.In studies of job performance,outstanding effectiveness for almost all jobs,from semi-skilled labor to sales and management,depends on conscientiousness.
It is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower levels of an organization:the secretary whose message taking is perfect,the delivery truck driver who is always on time.
Among sales representatives for a large American car manufacturer,those who were most conscientious had the largest volume of sales.Conscientiousness also offers a buffer (缓冲) against the threat of job loss in today's constantly changing market,because employees with this quality are among the most valued.For the sales representatives,their level of conscientiousness mattered almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed on.
There is an air around highly conscientious people that makes them seem even better than they actually are.Their reputation for dependability influences managers' evaluations of their work,giving them higher evaluations than objective measures of their performance would predict.
But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems.Since conscientious people demand so much of themselves,they can hold other people to their own standards,and so be overly judgmental when others don't show the same high levels of model behavior.Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who were extremely conscientious,for example,tended to criticize coworkers even about failures that seemed unimportant to those they criticized,which damaged their relationships.
When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations,it can discourage creativity.In creative professions like art or advertising,openness to wild ideas and spontaneity(自发性)are scarce and in demand.Success in such occupations calls for a balance,however;without enough conscientiousness to follow through,people become mere dreamers,with nothing to show for their imaginativeness.

Ⅰ.1.typists 2.enterprising 3.bath 4.bandaged 5.creative
6.self-confident 7.artistic 8.tailors 9.greengrocer 10.pianists
Ⅱ.1.B 句意:现在的情况非常复杂,因此我想过一段时间我才能够弄清楚实际情况。make up编造;figure out弄清楚;look through 浏览:put off 推迟。由句意可知选B项。
2.B 句意:她们一样高,但我觉得玛丽能胜任这项工作。第一空修饰名词height,所以用形容词equal,表示“身高相等”;第二空和the job连用,所以用be equal to,表示“胜任这项工作”。
3.B in general(一般说来,通常,总体上)和后面的in particular(特别,尤其)相对。根据句意“我们正在努力从总体上增强环境意识,特别是提高对空气污染的意识。”可知选B。in return作为回报;in common共同;in contrast相比之下,都不合题意。
4.D 句意:恐怕你不能指望他们在1小时内完成这项工作,你得考虑到他们缺少经验这方面。allow for考虑,考虑到。A、C两项不是固定词组,B项allow of的意思是“容许……,容许有……的可能”。
5.D 考查动词辨析。句意:我们已学会正确处理各种复杂情况。approach意为“处理,对付”,其他选项不符合句意。
6.B 句意:这座小镇不只是一个小镇,它还是许多人愿意停留的地方。no more than表示“仅仅”;more than表示“超过,多于,不仅是”;no less than表示“不亚于,不少于”。
7.A 根据语境,前一个说话人表示感谢,所以对方应回答“不客气,不用谢”,所以选A。
8.D interfere with妨碍,干扰;cope with处理,应对;continue with继续进行;correspond with与……相对应,与……相符。句意:让我不安的是,我的选择与我女儿的并不一致。故选D。
9.C 考查动词词义辨析。persuade sb.into doing sth.=persuade sb.to do sth.意为“说服某人做某事”。此处为其被动语态形式。express表达;organize组织;成立;prefer更喜欢,选择某事物(而不选择其他事物),均不符合句意。
10.C set out出发,动身,着手做;set aside存储,拔出;set up建立,创办,创设;set down放下,记下。主语是A fund,fund意为“基金会”,谓语动词应用set up。句意:抚恤死难工人家属的基金会即将建立起来。
11.C 名词approach 后的 to 是介词,因而 to 后面的动词应当用动名词,故选择C项。
12.C 句意:当我反复提出的加入俱乐部的要求被拒绝时,我感到非常失望。reject表“拒绝”,符合题意。
13.C would rather接完成式表示对已发生的事情感到自责,具有虚拟的语气,其否定式在rather后加not。
14.A 表示正式委婉的请求用request。
15.C 根据时间状语then可知C项为最佳答案。句意:今晚7点到8点之间你最好不要打电话给经理,因为那个时候他正在参加一个重要的会议。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。低度就业或不充分就业不是指没有工作,常常指有着某种专业资格的人从事着非专业的工作,也指本应该从事全职工作,而实际在做临时工作,或者人浮于事的状态。本文给我们讲述的就是低度就业的三个层面及其形成原因。
1.C 主旨大意题。全文在解释underemployment的含义,故选C。
2.B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段对underemployment的解释:In the third sense,it is a form of overstaffing in which employees are not being fully made use of.可知B正确。
3.B 推理判断题。第二段的第三句提及国家的就业统计,包含临时工作的人和现在付给工资的人,由此推断失业统计则包含没有工作的人,故选B。
4.A 细节理解题。虽然第三段提到了在发达国家低就业很常见,但是并没有说低就业仅发生在发达国家,由此可知A不符合文章的意义。误解分析:根据第三段第二句可知B正确;第四段的it cheaper to maintain and lay off part-time staffs说明C正确;根据第四段的even though they really need to work full-time可知D正确。
5.B 细节理解题。文章最后一段提到有些公司没有解雇员工是为季节性的工作做准备,由此可知B正确。
