第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
A CV is a sales document; it conveys the information of what you are looking for and why. Why you are qualified for such work, covering your previous work experience, education, qualification and interests, so effort should be made to make CV as clear as possible in order to sell you most effectively for the post which you are applying for.
Profile
The profile should be a short sentence stating clearly:
•What work you are looking for
• What you have to offer ((Why you are qualified))
I believe in starting the CV with a profile. This explains to the employer what you are looking for and summarizes all of the attributes (特质)that can be found in detail on the rest of your CV.
The employer knows what they are looking for. If your profile states this in summary, then you are making their job a lot easier and they are more likely to put you in the “yes" pile, as they quickly check a large volume of CVs.
Work Experience
Work experience should come directly after the profile in reverse chronological (反向时间 顺序)order. The first thing an employer will look at is the last job you have had and if you had the relevant experience or achieved something relevant to the job you are applying for in previous roles.
Education
Education should be also in reverse chronological order.
Other Qualifications
If you have attended any training courses or have industrial qualifications they should be entered here. Remember this is a sales document―list everything you have done here—sell yourself!
Interests
Qualify you hobbies and interests. Do not mention a thing like "I like to go running" without qualifying it as to what has been achieved. For example, it would be better to say “I | am part of the Harriers running club.” or “I recently completed the Great North Run."
21.If your profile states your attributes in summary, you'll ,
A.make your job a lot easier
B.be sure to persuade the employer
C.be more likely to get the job
D.fail to pass the interview
22.To write a good CV, you have to .
A.tell everything you've experienced in detail
B.place the Profile after the Work Experience
C.use only short sentences to express yourself
D.present the relevant facts to the employers
23.Which is the most concerned by the possible employer?
A.Your interests.
B.Your last job.
C.Your training courses.
D.Family background.

Six years ago. something unforgettable happened. My wife, Liz, and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary that year. It was a lovely event hosted by our sons for us. Many wonderful friends from the past surprised us with presents and congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove from Ontario into Alberta, then southward into Glacier National Park in Montana, and continued to Yellowstone National Park.
It was a cold spring day, and the Beartooth Highway had opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow remaining. The seenery was so impressive that we made numerous stops to record memories with my camera. At roughly the highest point of the highway,
I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the center of my camera lens.
There were not many vehicles on the road. Occasionally, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, in rags, parked behind our car. As he approached us, his only words were, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife. " I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could express our gratitude. The photo he took is one of the most cherished and prized of our trip.
I learned my lesson somewhere I least expected it. God judges us just by our heart, so we should never judge a man by his appearance. If the motorcycle driver reads this story and remembers the situation, we would like to say "thank you" to him.
24.According to the passage, the trip was .
A.a gift for their wedding anniversary
B.a suggestion from their friends

26.The author was nervous when the motorcyclist offered to take a picture because .
A.the motorcyclist would break the camera
B.he could have lost the camera with memories
C.the motorcyclist might not be good at taking pictures
D.his wife might not be satisfied with the view there

A group of young adults are building wooden boats, serving as workers in a boat building program sponsored by the Alexandria Seaport Foundation to be taught skills, self- confidence and discipline to change their lives for the better.
The young workers learn their craft at the foundation's seaport center, a floating wooden house on the banks of the Potomac River in Alexandria, once a busy seaport town in America. The yearlong program teaches small groups of young adults from 18 to 22 years old how to build small wooden sailboats. The program pays them a small wage.
A number of the young adults have not finished high school, and the foundation works to help them pass their GED, a high school equivalency. Those who do not have adequate math skills receive tutoring from a volunteer. One of the young workers, Chris, said he was a good student but had to drop out of high school to work due to his family situation. The program manager, once a role model of the group, remarked: “ They know I'm living proof of what hard work and dedication gets you to. " Now more than halfway through his apprenticeship, Chris said he feels better about himself.
When the wooden boats are finished, they will be sold. Chris said he will be sad to see them go5 but knows that, like life, they are meant to sail forward. "There is so much creativity that gets into making
them. They're beautiful on the water. I'm delighted they're going to be a good home."
28.What is the boat building program intended to do?
A.Offer boats to companies that need them.
B.Donate boats to the poor community nearby.
C.Help more people learn about the history of boats.
D.Make a better life for those young adults in trouble.
29. What can those young workers learn in this program?
A.They learn how to manage a program.
B.They learn how to build up confidence.
C.They learn how to build boats and sell them.
D.They learn how to teach others math problems.
30.What can we infer from the text?
A.The boats built are meant for tourism.
B.Chris dropped out of school for poor marks.
C. The young workers are all taught by volunteers.
D. Participants of the program are not all teenagers.
31.What is this article mainly about?
A.Hard work is what leads to success.
B.The art of building boats is hard to learn.
C.The future of the youth lies in themselves.
D.Building boats improves the young's lives.

When Pope Francis recently told a reporter that he stopped watching television 25 years ago, it reminded me that several of my friends had gone TV-free as well. They had really quit TV? It seemed fairly unlikely.
And so it was. It turned out that most Americans who "cut the cord " are not getting rid of their TV sets. What they're doing, like my friends, is canceling their cable or satellite TV contracts. Not such a major move, but nice cost savings. You can still watch lots of TV programming these days on your computer or TV by subscribing to an online streaming service. Netflix is currently the most popular of those.
There is, however, a small group of the population that has adopted a true zero-tolerance policy when it comes to television. Listen to what was said about TV by none other than Randy Pausch, the Carnegie Mellon professor In 2010 following his terminal cancer diagnosis, he called out TV as the enemy of productivity. "If you really want to have time back in your life," he said, "unplug you TV and put it in a closet and put a blanket over it."
My friend Laura Schiff, a former journalist, appreciates that point all too well. "Television always felt like a waste of time," she told me the other day. When her old TV failed, she decided not to replace it. "No regrets. Without TV I get a much deeper understanding of the world and what's going on around us." The amazing irony (讽刺):Schiff's late father, Arthur Schiff was the genius behind such memorable TV marketing catchphrases (广告语)as "Act now and you'll also receive ..and "But wait, there's more!"
For some Americans, there is no "more". There is already too, too much一too much stupid programming, too much commercials for products no one needs. Most of all, “TV robs us of our precious time," as author Joshua Fields Millbum said in his book, Everything That Remains.
32.We learn from paragraph 2 that most Americans who cut the cord
A.stop watching TV completely
B.get rid of their TV sets
C.canceling their TV contracts to save money
D.still watch lots of programs through cable TV
33.According to the passage, Netflix is probably .
A.a popular online streaming service
B.a satellite TV station
C.a new brand of TV sets
D.a most popular TV program currently
34.Why was Randy Pausch against television?
A.It was a waste of money.
B.He had little time to spare for it.
C.It was a waste of productive time.
D.He suffered from headaches because of it.
35.We can infer from the last paragraph that some Americans .
A.demand changes in television
B.will never believe TV catchphrases
C.spend more time watching TV
D.will never watch TV
