Passage 1 Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completes a university degree or diploma course could find a good career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.Job seekers first have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others. The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors.When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.There will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job is to be one of them. 11 In Para.1, the sentence “. those days are gone, even in Hong Kong .“ suggest that_. 正确答案解析A. in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhereB. nowadays, everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good careerC. it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countriesD. Hong Kong is no longer the good place for finding jobs 正确答案：A解析：句意理解题。见文章第一段“Not so long ago almost any student . career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even . in the search for jobs.”，理解了这段话的意思，就不难看出选项 A 是正确答案。12 The word “relative“ in Para. 2 could best be replaced by “_“. 正确答案解析A. familyB. comparativeC. considerableD. slight 正确答案：B解析：句中的名词短语“the relative importance to themselves of such matters as .”意为“对他们来说一些比较重要的事情，例如” ，因此选项 B 是正确答案。considerable 意为“相当大的，值得考虑的” 。13 The advice given in the first sentence of Para.3 is to_. 正确答案解析A. find out what jobs are available and the opportunities for future promotionB. examine the careers available and how these will be affected in the futureC. look at the information on, and probable future location of, various careersD. study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available 正确答案：B解析：细节题。文章第三段第一句话“The second stage is . to develop in the future.”意为“第二步是研究可行的就业机会并对就业情况未来可能如何发展加以思考” ，所以选项 B 是正确答案。14 The word “prospective“ in Para. 5 is closest in meaning to “_“. 正确答案解析A. generousB. reasonableC. futureD. ambitious 正确答案：C解析：词汇题。the prospective employer 意为“未来的雇主” ，因此选项 C 是正确答案。15 In Para.5, the writer seems to suggest that_. 正确答案解析A. interviewees should ask a question if they cant think of an answerB. pretending to understand a question is better than giving an unsuitable answerC. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understandD. it is not a good idea for interviewees to be completely honest in their answers 正确答案：C解析：细节题目。文章第五段讲了面试中的一些注意事项，其中第三和第四句话“Interviewees should try to give positive . they are unsure about. This is much better.and giving an unsuitable answer.”告诉被面视者要诚实而不是不懂装懂，因此选项 C 是正确答案。Passage 2 It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crisis; that they talk too much about certain problems and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationship.I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents; this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog(处于劣势者): you cant win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can impress others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do. 16 This passage is primarily meant for_. 正确答案解析A. parents B. teenagersC. educatorsD. psychologists 正确答案：B解析：从文章最后两段来看，作者用的 you 都是指年轻人，说明文章是为他们写的，因此选项 B 是正确答案。17 The first paragraph is mainly about_. 正确答案解析A. the teenagers criticism of their parentsB. the misunderstandings between teenagers and their parentsC. the parentcomplaints about their childrenD. the dominance of the parents over their children 正确答案：A解析：文章第一段的主题句是“It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them.”，因此选项 A 是正确答案。18 Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles because they _. 正确答案解析A. want to irritate their parentsB. have a strong desire to be leaders in style and tasteC. have no other way to enjoy themselves betterD. want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own 正确答案：D解析：文章第三段中第四句话“So they create a culture and society of their own.”说得正是他们热衷于与众不同的服装和发式的动机。需要注意的是，从第三段最后一句话可以看出选项 B 不是正确答案，因为这不是主要动机，但很容易被误解为是正确答案。19 Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they_. 正确答案解析A. have a desire to be independent B. feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults C. are not likely to win over the adults D. have already been accepted into the adult world 正确答案：A解析：根据文章第四段第二、三两句可知，他们不愿被人看成是一个失败者，希望保持自己的地位和尊严，因此选项A 是正确答案。20 To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be_. 正确答案解析A. obedientB. independentC. responsibleD. cooperative 正确答案：D解析：文章最后一段第一句话“If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan.”是本段的主旨，因此选项 D 是正确答案。Passage 3 The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and peoples lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. 21 This passage is mainly about France. 正确答案解析A. TB. F 正确答案：B解析：题干的意思是：这篇文章主要讲述法国的有关情况。文章的第一句话提到法国大革命爆发于 1789 年，而其后则是具体讲述法国大革命爆发的原因、过程及结果。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲的是法国大革命，而不是法国的有关情况，因此正确答案为选项 B。22 The national economy was developing rapidly in 1789. 正确答案解析A. TB. F 正确答案：B解析：题干的意思是：在 1789 年，国家经济得以快速发展。从文章的前三句话可以得知，法国大革命爆发于这一年，当时的法国正在经历一场危机，而且政府运行得并不好，人民生活在痛苦之中，从而导致了大革命的爆发。由此可知，当时的国家经济并没有得到快速发展，因此正确答案为选项 B。23 The political prisoners were kept in Bastille. 正确答案解析A. TB. F 正确答案：A解析：题干的意思是：政治犯被关押在巴士底狱（Bastille） 。根据文章中“On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept.”这句话可知，当时的政治犯是被关押在巴士底狱（ Bastille） ，因此正确答案为选项 A。24 The underlined word “abolished” means “ended”. 正确答案解析A. TB. F 正确答案：A解析：题干的意思是：画线单词“abolished”的词义是“终止” 。从文章中找到画线单词所在的句子，其前一句话是说路易十六被抓起来并关押在监狱，后一句话说他在同一年被处死，而画线单词所在的句子则是说，1792 年 9 月君主制被废除，因此可以推断出“abolished”一词的意思应该是“废除，终止” 。由此可知，正确答案为选项 A。25 The king tried to control the national parliament after the Revolution. 正确答案解析A. TB. F 正确答案：B解析：题干的意思是：国王试图在大革命后控制国家议会。文章的第二、三、四句话“At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and peoples lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes.”讲到，当时的法国正处在一片混乱中，政府腐败，人民生活凄惨，路易十六企图控制议会并增加赋税，从而导致了大革命的爆发。因此，国王试图控制国家议会是在大革命之前，而不是在大革命之后，故正确答案为选项 B。Part III.
