Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write . When visiting future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates ,telephone numbers, and other useful information. Treat every application form as though it is the first one your are completing-write carefully and neatly. Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed. Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community (社区),or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role. Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position.Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression (进展)from past experience to the job you are applying for .If you can ,and if they fit naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.36.The first sentence of the passage means that .A. one may have to fill in many application forms before one gets a job B. the filling up of an appli8cation form takes much timeC. you may have to fill in a long application form D. application forms are usually difficult to read and require good skills to fill in 37.Although all application forms demand the same basic information A. different companies may take different attitudes toward themB. different companies many have different requirementsC. applicants may have to send in the forms by personD. applicants may be required to answer all the questions in detail38.

When English people use the word “hunting”, they usually mean fox-hunting, a sport which is popular among a small but important minority. There are packs of hounds all over the country, and a “meet”, with the hunt all gather together ready to start, many of the male riders wearing “pink”(that is red coat), is a colorful spectacle. Many of the horses are brought to the meet in vans, and the whole hunting is a sport for the rich. A master of Fox-hounds has a position of much honor. There are many people who would like to see fox-hunting forbidden by law on the ground that it is cruel, but there is little likelihood that this will be done. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recognizes that other methods of killing foxes, such as shooting and trapping, may be more cruel than hunting. It includes enthusiastic fox hunters among its most generous and social eminent supporters, and is not inclined, as a body, to take steps against hunting. But it has anti-hunting left wing.41.

For each statement there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the friendship for granted , we often dont clearly understand how to make friends .While we get on well with a number of people ,we are usually friends with only a very few -for example ,the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together ,but beyond that , the degree of intimacy (亲密)between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously . As we get to know people ,we take into account things like age ,race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of prime importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationship can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs , to have attitudes and interests in common -they of ten talk about “being on the4 same wavelength “. It generally takes time to reach this point .And the more intimately involved people become , the more they rely on one another. People want to do friend favors and hate to break a promise . Equally ,friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage ,there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between tow people .But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experience and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond ,which can overcome differences in background ,and break down barriers of age ,class or race.46.

Ii can be concluded that A. common experiences and emotions can lead to mutual supporting and understanding B. People of different age ,race and social background can never be good friends C. friendship is bound by each others supporting power D. there must be a promise to bond the association between peoplePart III Reading Comprehension(2) (5 points, one point for each )Task 4Directions: There is a business letter here, after reading the letter, you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (51 through 5 6 ) following it .Just write a word or a phrase for each answer.
