应用文
招聘启事，首先要有吸引力，且文字应容易为人们所明白。启事是一种公告性的应用文。无论机关、团体、单位还是个人需要向公众说明什么事情、求得什么帮助，都可以把要说明的事情写成启事告知大众。通常，启事是张贴在广告栏或墙上，必要时也可以登报。常见的启事有招聘启事，失物启事，招领启事等。启事的写作步骤：
第一步：把启事内容的关键词作为文章的标题写在正文的正上方。
第二步：发布启事的日期写在正文的右上方，或省去不写。
第三步：发布启事的单位或个人的署名写在正文的右下方。
第四步：启事一般不用称呼，形式灵活多样，语言言简意赅，内容生动活泼。

补充材料：
As a volunteer of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games，I need to write something，so that I can remember the year of 2008 and what happened during it．
Today I met two NOCs of Bulgaria．I don’t know whether they are athletes or officials．One of them first asked my name with poor English pronunciation．I told both my English name and Chinese one! He repeated with me and smiled saying that “I love you”．What a joke! In fact，I’m a shy girl at most time．And when he said so I felt that I had been dallied with．But as a volunteer，you have to smile and smile．It’s your job．With the result，I told them how to speak Bulgaria in Chinese so as to distract their attention．And then they asked how old I was．I answered．After that they said something，yes，in English，which I couldn’t understand．
I like doing a volunteer work．It makes me valued．And I love this feeling．I know everybody does．
作为2008年北京奥运会的志愿者，我需要写点什么。这样我会记住2008年和在此期间发生了什么。
今天我遇到两个保加利亚国家奥林匹克委员会的两个人。我不知道他们是运动员还是官方人员。其中一个用蹩脚的英语发音问我的名字，我告诉他我的英语名字和汉语名字。他和我一起重复，并笑着说“我爱你”。真是开玩笑!事实上，大多数情况下我是个害羞的女孩。当他这么说的时候，我感到被调戏了。但是作为一个志愿者，你只能微笑再微笑，这是你的工作。结果，我告诉他们怎样用汉语说“保加利亚”，以转移他们的注意力。然后，他们问我的年龄，我回答了。之后，他们说了一些事，还是用英语，但是我不能理解。
我喜欢做志愿者工作。它让我觉得有价值感。我喜欢这种感觉。我知道每个人都喜欢。

三、阅读理解
　　Acting is such an overcrowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a younger person thinking of going on the stage is “Don’t!” But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are small. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and the talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manger. This means doing everything that is to be done in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture and publicity, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chance of working with a better company, or perhaps in films or television.
　　Of course, some people have remarkable chances, which lead to fame and success without this long and tedious training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to stand a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to his studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her elocution（演说术）lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!
1. The author does not encourage young people to choose the profession of acting. The reasons for his doing this do not include ________.A. there is intense competition in this processionB. the chances of becoming famous are really smallC. only genius can take up the professionD. this profession really involves much hard work
2. After finishing the courses at a drama school, the young actor or actress may work as an assistant stage manager in a repertory company and don’t have to ________.A. paint scenery and take care of the costumesB. look after the furniture and publicityC. learn elocution lessonsD. act in very small parts
3. According to the author, a young actor or actress is willing to take up work with a repertory company because ________.A. the work is not really hardB. the salary is goodC. they have a hope of getting a chance of work with a better company in the acting professionD. they need this kind of experience to try their will and perseverance4. The author uses the example of Connie Pratt to show that ________.A. luck is much more important than talent in the profession of actionB. there are indeed some people who do not get their way to fame and success in the action profession through hard work, but the chance is so smallC. sometimes one should take jokes seriously because chances may be involved in themD. some film producers choose actors or actresses arbitrarily
5. In the last sentence, the phrase “ once in a blue moon ” means ________.A. once in a year B. incredibleC. once in a very long time D. remarkable and rare

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案与解析
一、单项选择
1. C。 本题考查consider的用法。此句为“consider+宾语+宾补”的被动形式，排除B、D两项，又因此句中动词不定式的动作已经发生，所以这里须用不定式的完成式，排除A项，答案选C项。
2. C。 本题考查with后跟分词或不定式的复合结构作状语，说明伴随情况的用法。句意为“因有许多困难问题亟待解决，新当选的总统举步维艰”。
3. A。 本题考查动词短语。句意为“海伦总帮助她妈妈，虽然上学占去了她一天中大部分时间”。take up意为“占用(时间或空间)”；make up意为“化妆，弥补”；save up意为“储存”；put up意为“建立”。故选A项。
4. D。 本题考查when作并列连词的用法。when当并列连词用时，相当于and at that time，常用于以下四种句式中：
(1) be about to do...when...；
(2) be on the point of doing...when；
(3) be doing...when：
(4) had done...when...。
句意：在一个下雨天，我正骑自行车去接儿子，这时前边发生了一起可怕的事故。根据was riding和句意，可知D项为正确答案。
5. A。 本题考查动词短语。由“Because it rained heavily．”可知此句时态为过去时；根据句意，空格内需要用表示“遭受”含义的短语，只有suffer from有“遭受……的痛苦”之意。故选A项。
6. A。 本题考查require的用法。一般来说，require用在名词性从句中，从句的谓语动词常用虚拟语气，其形式为(should) do，故A项正确。
7. A。 本题考查主谓一致。the rest of后接单数名词时，谓语用单数形式。此处关系代词which指代the book。故选A项。
8. C。 本题考查look forward to的用法。look forward to意为“盼望”，其中to是介词，后面接名词或动名词，D项的完成式不符合题意，故只有C项为正确答案。
9. D。 本题考查词语意义辨析。问句的句意为“附近能弄到水吗?”convenient意为“便利的”：comfortable意为“舒服的”；useful意为“有用的”，均不合题意。而available意为“可利用的，可以得到的”，符合题意。
10. A。 本题考查短语辨析。句意为“有30多个人申请这个职位”。apply for意为“申请得到……”；apply to意为“运用于……”，根据题意，主语是复数，故A项符合要求。
11. A。 本题考查condition和experience的用法。根据题意，此处condition表示“(生存、居住)环境”，所以应用复数形式；experience表示“经历”时，是可数名词，所以要加不定冠词a，故选A项。
12. D。 本题考查词语辨析。句意为“我们这儿降雨很多，尤其是夏天”。especially，particularly，in particular都可以表示“尤其，特别”，常用来在陈述某一事实后列举一个具有代表性的例子，作进一步强调。
13. D。 本题考查average的用法。表示“平均起来，在一般情况下”的含义时，on average，on an average和on the average这三个短语不但意义相同，用法也相同，所以选D项。
14. A。 本题考查固定短语。句意为“这些计划理论上很好，但实际上行不通”。在四个备选答案中。在结构上只有in theory是正确的，表示“在理论上”。
15. A。 本题考查词组辨析。句意为“他正在网上搜寻信息时计算机系统突然发生了故障”。break down意为“(机械等)发生故障，崩溃”；break out意为“(战争、灾害等)突然发生”；break up意为“分裂；分解；结束”；break in意为“强行进入，打断说话”。根据题意，A项符合要求。
16. D。 注意介词搭配。concentrate one’s attention on 把注意力集中于；pay attention to 注意。
17. B。 注意介词搭配：be content with 对……感到满足；be proud of 对……感到骄傲；be eager for 渴望；be anxious about 对……感到担忧。
18. C。 assist sb. in doing sth. 帮助某人做某事；provide 提供，常用provide sb. with sth；supply 供应，常用supply sb. with sth；support 维持，养活。
19. B。 protect 保护；inquire 打听，询问；acquire 获得。句意：宣传单告知顾客夏末大减价的事。
20. B。 考查accuse sb. of sth. 表示“控告某人某事”； blame sb. on sth. 表示“责备某人某事”；charge sb. for sth. “控告某人某事”；scold sb. for sth. “因为某事而批评某人”。注意不同的介词搭配。
二、完形填空
1. D。前置命题。从上句的self-improvement与 I have learnt a lot 可知D答案正确。
2. A。后置命题。从下句的a miracle与all these wonderful things可知为意义重现。
3. B。篇章层面命题。从下句的looked like与staring提供的语境，再结合最后段的I believe in the mirror...可推答案为B。
4.C。考动宾搭配。tear是动词cried的同源宾语。如：live a happy life。
5.C。从语境中考句意的理解。从cried与后面的搭配来选答案。
6. B。后置命题。考查副词的修饰意义。该段第一句为主题句。从下文细节可知：作者真的确信生活道路的改变。
7. D。 后置命题。考意义连贯与主谓搭配。强调生活道路真的改变。从句主语my track与 truly changed搭配，从下文意义分析，与improved搭配不合适。
8. A。考动宾搭配。remember记得；recognize认出；如把my name改为me,可用B答案。
9. B。前置命题。从in a nice way, greeted me 可知答案B。
10. D。意义同现。从exhibit和下三句的at the fairs，选D正确。
11. A。后置命题。从on their faces，常识推理，expression表情，合语境。
12. B。句内命题。从and前找答案。
13. A。考动宾搭配。copy 模仿。
14. C。考查形容词在语境中的应用。
15. C。考查中心词对篇章的概括。该段是回应主题。镜子效应-完美人生。
三、阅读理解
本篇为论说文。作者论述了通往成为电影明星的道路很艰辛，成名的可能性也很小。对众多想上舞台的年轻人说：“Don’t!”但作者也举出由于极偶然的机会获得成功的例子。
1. C. 第一段中，A、B、D三项内容均涉及到：an overcrowded profession表明了激烈的竞争；the chances of his becoming famous are small表明成功机率小；It is very hard work indeed.表明需付出的艰辛。而C项“只有天才方能涉足这一职业”与原文不符，文中的意义是“只有那些展露出希望和天赋的学生才被接受”。
2. C. 根据第一段后半部分“然后年轻的演员在戏剧团承担工作，通常担任助理舞台监督”，这就意味着要做A、B、D中所罗列的各项工作，而C项不属此范围。
3. C. 根据第一段最后一句得出结论。
4. B. 作者举出此例显然想表明这种可能性是极小的。
5. D. 根据字面意义及语境应该能猜测出，“once in a blue moon”意思为“罕见”。
四、语法填空
（1）
作者看到一个小男孩毫不犹豫地将自己唯一的一片面包分给小狗，随后反思自己不能把爱心付之行动。
1. direction。根据句意和本空前的in every可知，此处用所给单词的名词单数形式，表示”方向”。
2. a。由于第一次提到小男孩，故用不定冠词。
3. to take。be about to do sth.意为”正要做某事”。
4. Without。此处填介词Without，Without hesitation意为”毫不犹豫”。
5. until/till。此处用连词until或till引导一个表示时间的状语从句，意为”直到”。
6. cried。此处用所给动词的一般过去时，表示发生在过去的事情。
7. but。根据文章内容可知，本空前后构成转折关系，故填连词but。
8. him。此处填人称代词宾格him，指代the boy。
9. who。此处用关系代词who引导一个定语从句，修饰先行词boy。
10. it。此处用代词it代指前面的一片面包。
（2）
如何让大脑年轻而活跃？答案就是多多锻炼脑力，并且多吃坚果。
1. a。此处填不定冠词，表泛指。
2. bored。根据句子含义可知，此处需要填bored，表示”感觉无聊的”。
3. like。此处用介词like引出要举的例子。
4. that。此处填that，构成so+ adj./adv. + that句式。
5. smarter。此处需用形容词的比较级形式与后面的more intelligent构成并列关系。
6. On。此处是on the other hand，意为”另一方面”。
7. which。本句是一个非限定性定语从句，填which，代替上文的magnesium (镁)在从句中做主语。
8. was published。此处需要谓语动词且为一般过去时的被动语态，填was published。
9. showing。根据句子结构可知，此处需用所给动词的现在分词形式作状语。
10. those。此处填代词those，指代与前面出现的mice的同一类事物，即没有吃坚果的老鼠。
五、书面表达
