第四部分 書(shū)面表達(dá)(共兩節(jié),滿分45分)
第一節(jié) 閱讀表達(dá)(共5小題;每小題3分,滿分15分)
閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求)。
[1] My daughter did an experiment for me two summers ago. She applied to job openings she’d found on a couple of big online job boards.    She mailed the applications and waited. And waited. After sending out 100 resumes(履歷表), specially addressed to each organization’s human resources(HR) manager, fewer than five HR departments took the time to reply, or acknowledged receipt.
[2] What happened?
[3] Maybe in the thirty seconds or so of attention that her resume received, each HR person made a snap decision. It seemed that 95 of them were unimpressioned.
[4] Or, maybe, out of the 300 other resumes HR had received that morning, they had already scheduled a requisite(必要的) number of interviews. Or, maybe HR simply forwarded her resume to the hiring manager who was supposed to call her for an interview.
[5] Or, maybe they thought her resume was fairly generic(一般的) and they didn’t have time to figure out if she might be a good fit, with the necessary skills, attitudes, and the desire to do the job.
[6] Most likely, the real reason why she didn’t get an interview was the last one. HR didn’t have time to figure out how she would work in their company.
[7] This happens all the time. I think most job seekers make the serious mistake of thinking that all they need to do is tell the HR department what they did in the past.
[8] That might be OK for some hiring managers, but most want to know the answer to one question: How can this applicant help us right now? If your resume does not answer that question, or sufficiently tell a story about how you may be able to help, you won’t have a shot at the job in this market.
[9] Before you can answer that question, however, you need to do some research on the company. Find out everything you can about the company, including the departments, the people, the products, markets, and the plans for the future.
[10] Information is power, and it is available quite easily. Don’t expect HR to figure out how you might fit into their organization. You _________ instead. This is the surest way to get the interview.
76.What’s the main idea of this passage?(within 20 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
77.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
You should tell the HR what you can do for them in your resume and then you may be able to find a job.
____________________________________________________________________________
78. Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words.(within 8 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
79.List two of the reasons why most HR managers even didn’t give the girl a reply.
(each within 10 words)
①__________________________________________________________________________
②__________________________________________________________________________
80.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 into Chinese.

Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block. No specific purpose in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become.
When I was a kid in the New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not the desperate steeplechases(障礙賽跑) they have become today. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother—the same house my father was raised in, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek.
The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there were no chores that couldn’t wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, different from all the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else.
Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to consider that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association. In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone else’s home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall to participating in a road race to jetting to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel sepia-toned, an echo from another era.
I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural cast(特質(zhì))still harbors at least remnants of the ethic of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries(反復(fù)無(wú)常的情況)and a challenging environment.
63.The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when _______.
A. everyone was paying a visit to some relative far away
B. everyone seemed to be free and could have some leisure
C. Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house
D. nearly every adult would go to church and children were not at school
64.In the fourth paragraph, the writer compares the response “I’m making a Sunday visit to family” to an echo from another era because _______.
A. people nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday
B. such answers are rarely heard in our modern society
C. people in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday
D. visiting someone on Sunday might take a lot of time
65.From the last paragraph we may infer that _______.
A. people in Maine suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment
B. people in Maine has abandoned their tradition and lived an absolute new life
C. land in Maine is short, thus the relationship between people is tense
D. people in Maine always help each other when they are in need
66.Which word we may use to describe the writer’s attitude towards the Sunday today?
A. Unsatisfied.          B. Anxious.          C. Treasured.          D. Teased.

第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中(A、B、c和D)00,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
Ryan  and Lowry had been friends  since high school,  but it wasn’t until after college
that they hit on the idea of a home—care-products company.“We were shocked to learn how  toxic  cleaning  products  were,”  says  Ryan.  Why  couldn’t they  create  green products that would be just as environmentally pure as Aveda’s skin—and—hair—care lines?
When Ryan’s mom heard about the plan,she stared at him blankly: “I’ve never even seen  you  clean your room!” Not discouraged,Lowry experimented with  nontoxic ways to clean.  while  Ryan  focused on marketing.  In  February 2001,they  mixed their first four   cleaning  sprays  and  convinced the  managers  of  20  grocers to try them·  Once  they had their  approval,they tapped  friends  and  family  and pooled their  savings to  come  up  with $90,000 in seed money.
From the start,“Go big or go home’’was their mantra(口頭禪).Their first financing— that $l million—was due to be signed on September 11, 2001. By the time they got it, two months later,says Ryan, "we had$16 in the bank and personally owed$300,000·”
Seeking a national retailer(零售商)proved just as troublesome.The friends set their sights on Target,known for its trendy,affordable goods.“But Target didn’t like the product or the brand,”recalled Ryan.“We thought the deal was dead,but then a new buyer saw that even though we weren’t selling big volumes, we were  profitable, just on a smaller scale.”They won over Target.
Consumers  were  hooked  on the  natural things  and  wonderful  fragrance. Today,the partners sell 130 products in more than 8,000 stores,and taxes are over$100 million. Such  rapid  growth has  at times  stressed the  men’s  friendship. “Eric  and  I  agree on ‘what’  but  never  on‘how,’”  says Lowry.  “Although  we  are  willing to  challenge  each  other,we come up with interesting and smarter solutions.There’s little fire and ice between us·
56.The underlined word“toxic”in Paragraph 1 most probably means——·
A.poisonous    B.dirty    C.expensive   D.troublesome
57.When Ryan told his mom his plan, ___________.
A.he knew his mom was sure to support him
B.his mom asked him to clean his room
C.his mom suspected his ability
D.he was discouraged by his mom
58.We can learn:from the third paragraph that __________________.
A.Ryan and Lowry wanted to gave up and go home at first
B.their plan didn’t go smoothly at the very beginning
C.they made profit two months later after their first financing
D.$1 million was not enough as their seed money
59.The partners’cleaning products are sold very well because——.
A.the products are made of natural material and smell nice
B.their friends and family offered to use their products
C.they cooperated with a well—known national retailer
D.they convinced 20 grocer managers to try them
60.It can be inferred from the—passage that——.
A.Aveda’s skin—and—hair-care lines are not so successful as Ryan and Lowry’s
B.Target is a famous environment-friendly cleaning brand
C.The friends "cooperation with Target was very successful
D.The partners get on well with each other in their business

American doctors say that mothers who smoke cigarettes before their babies are born may slow the growth of their babies’ lungs. They say reduced lung growth could cause the babies to suffer breathing problems and lung diseases later in life. Doctors in Boston studied 1,100 children. The mothers of some of the children smoked, the other mothers did not. Doctors found that the lungs of the children whose mothers smoked were 8% less developed than the lungs of the children whose mothers did not smoke, and that the children whose mother smoked developed 20% more cold and breathing diseases than other children later in life.
Another recent study found that children had a greater chance of developing lung cancer if their mothers smoked. The study also showed that the danger of lung cancer increased only for sons and not for daughters, and that the father’s smoking did not affect a child’s chance of developing lung cancer
49.  Whose baby would have breathing diseases?
A.Mother who smokes cigarettes after their baby are born
B.Mother who smokes cigarettes before their baby are born
C.Mother who don’t smoke at all
D.Mother whose mother smokes
50. Suppose John’s father was a heavy smoker, so was Mary’ mother. According to this study,  _________.
A. John is more likely to develop lung cancer                                                     B. Mary is more likely to develop lung cancer                           
C. Mary and John have the same chance to develop lung cancer

C. warn us that mothers who smoke may affect their children’s health.      
D. warn us that fathers who smoke may affect their children as mothers
