Ⅳ.概要写作
阅读下面短文, 根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping, or is it?
Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim (声明) made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be the victim of fraud (欺骗) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of deceiving. Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.
Another problem is that the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This might not be a problem if you are buying washing powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue! Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and colour are not essential to customer satisfaction.
Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) and adding to our already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated(烦恼的) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work to receive it!

Ⅴ.完形填空
“Now,” Mrs Virginia DeView said,smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be 1 . “Yes,you will all be searching for your future 2 . Each of you will have to 3 someone in your field, plus give an oral report.”?
Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this. Finally, I picked print journalism. This 4 I had to go to interview a true-blue newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him 5 able to speak. He looked at me and said,“Did you bring a pencil or pen?”?
I shook my head.
“How about some 6 ?”?
I shook my head again.
Finally, I thought he realized I was 7 , and I got my first big tip as a 8 : “Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper. You never know what you?ll run into.” After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from 9 in class. I got an A on the entire project.?
Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I 10 Virginia DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn?t 11 me. They just reminded me how competitive the field was and 12 all my life I had run away from competition. This was true. But journalism did something to me;it was in my blood. 13 gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was 14 .?
For the past 12 years, I?ve had the most satisfying reporting career, 15 stories from murders to airplane crashes and 16 choosing my strongest area. 17 I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories hit me and I realized that had it not been 18 Virginia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.?
I get 19 all the time:“How did you pick journalism?”?
“Well, you see, there was a teacher…” I always start out. I just wish I could 20 her.?

Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是作者13岁时的一次做职业调查的经历帮助他在求职困难时找到了自己的职业——记者,并在自己的职位上干得很不错。
1.B 前文谈到Virginia DeView让这些十三、四岁的学生思考他们未来的职业,学生不理解,猜想他们的老师一定是“疯”了。
2.C 前文的“…?we are going to discover our professions.?”以及“Our professions?”都暗示了此答案,而且全文都在谈论有关作者“职业”的事情。
3.A 根据后文中谈到作者第一次去采访从事新闻业领域的有关人士可知,当时老师要求学生们先调查,然后“采访”,最后做口头报告。
4.D 作者选择了新闻业,根据老师的要求,这“意味着”要去采访报业记者。
5.A 上文谈到作者感到非常紧张,下文作者又摇头表示没带笔,所以此处填hardly表示“几乎不能说话”。
6.D 下文中那位被采访者对作者说“?Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper…?”可知,此处填paper,以呼应下文。
7.C 上文提到,作者去采访这位新闻记者时,紧张得说不出话来。所以,在采访过程中,当然是觉得很害怕。
8.B 此处是全文点睛之笔。作者之所以后来成为一名出色的记者,与这次见面有很大的关系。因为这是作者获得的第一个做一名记者的诀窍。
9.D from memory是一个固定短语,意为“凭记忆”。此处指作者采访那位记者时没有带纸和笔,所以做口头报告时,只能全凭记忆。
10.C 作者在几年后找工作陷入困境时,突然“记起”他儿时的那位老师和他曾经在13岁时想做的职业——记者。
11.C 从后文的句子“They just reminded me…”来看,作者的父母并没有“阻拦”他当记者。
12.A 作者的父母提醒作者说记者行业竞争激烈,而且作者又是“多么”害怕并回避竞争。
13.A it指journalism,与前一句相照应。
14.D 既然是采访,当然是问对方所发生的情况(what was going on)。
15.C 当了12年的记者,“报道了”从谋杀案到飞机失事等各种新闻。cover意为“报道”。
16.B 作者在报道了各种各样的新闻后,“最后”选择了他最擅长的领域。
17.A 由该空后面的one day判断填when,意为“当我有一天拿起电话时,潮水般的记忆向我涌来”。
18.A 本句完整结构为“…if it had not been for…”,意为“要不是由于……”。省掉if后, had要放在it前面构成倒装句。作者终于意识到要不是Virginia DeView当初要她十三、四岁的学生去做职业调查,他就不会坐到现在这个位置上。
19.D 此句意为“总是有人问我……”。get asked表示“被人问起”,符合上下文。
20.C 当别人问起做记者的原因时,作者总是回答说“因为一位老师……”。借此作者希望能向老师表示“谢意”。
