The first job she considered was the director of HR for a company in Utah. After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit her except for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firms culture. She directed Isabel to several videos of the companys CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of moralebuilding exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same. “Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldnt do that，” Isabel says. She called the company to turn down the job and explained that she didnt feel there was a cultural fit.A few months later, she had an interview for another job: a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives: it provided a lowstress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employeefriendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldnt be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down. “It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night，” she says. In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasnt taking the jobs. “In the past，it felt like dating, and I was worried about hurting peoples feelings，” she says. However，they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Isabel拒绝两份工作的经历和感想。【难句分析】She directed Isabel to several videos of the companys CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of moralebuilding exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same.分析：该句为主从复合句。句中who引导非限制性定语从句。译文：她领着Isabel看了几段公司首席执行官的视频，作为激励员工士气的活动的一部分，首席执行官经常穿着公司制服出现在员工们面前，并希望他的高层领导也能这样做。1. Which factor made Isabel turn down the first job finally?AThe companys location. BThe initial interviews. CThe firms culture. DThe hiring manager.答案与解析：C考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句“She called the company to turn down the job and explained that she didnt feel there was a cultural fit”可知，Isabel认为这种企业文化不适合自己，所以拒绝了这份工作，故C项正确。根据第一段第三、四句“After the initial interviews，she felt the job fit her except for the location.Still，she flew west to meet the hiring manager”可知，在最初的几轮面试之后，Isabel觉得这份工作适合她，除了公司的位置之外。尽管如此，她还是飞往西部去见了人事部经理；据此可知，她拒绝这份工作的原因不是最初的几轮面试、公司地点和人事部经理，故排除A、B、D项。2What does the underlined word “junior” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AChallenging. BEasy.CBeneficial. DStressful.答案与解析：B考查词义猜测。根据画线词所在句“But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldnt be challenging enough”可知，尽管这份工作的头衔不错，但是Isabel担心这份工作没有足够的挑战性，即这份工作相对容易；据此可以判断，画线词意为“容易的”，故B项正确。A项意为“具有挑战性的”，C项意为“有益的”，D项意为“充满压力的”，都与语境不符。3What is the most important thing for Isabel in job hunting?ABeing truthful to others. BA job with a stable income.CA relaxing working atmosphere. DAvoiding hurting peoples feelings.答案与解析：A考查细节理解。根据第三段倒数第二句“However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty.”可知，虽然Isabel拒绝了这两份工作，但是人事部经理仍然欣赏她的坦率，并感谢她的诚实；据此可知Isabel在寻找工作时诚实待人是她最重要的品质，故A项正确。根据第二段第三句中的“it provided a lowstress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employeefriendly place”可知，在大学做员工关系主管的工作薪酬高而且无压力，但是Isabel仍然拒绝了，故B、C项错误；根据第三段第二句可知，D项与题干无关。4The above text is most likely intended for the _. Adirector of HR Blibrarian Cdoctor Dartist答案与解析：A考查推理判断。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了Isabel拒绝人力资源总监和大学员工关系主管两份工作的经历和感想；据此可以判断，人力资源总监会从她的经历中得到启示，故A项正确。二、七选五In the age of the keyboard，some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out.Steve Graham，a literacy professor at Vanderbilt University in Nashville，Tennessee，has been hearing about the death of handwriting for the past fifteen years._1_ He said，“If the results of a survey we have published this year are accurate，it is being taught by about ninety percent of teachers in grades one to three.”Ninety percent of teachers also say they are required to teach handwriting._2_Professor Graham says one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting._3_ Others teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day.Many adults remember learning that wayby copying letters over and over again._4_ Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught only with itself.Instead，they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas._5_Teachers commonly report that about onefourth of their students has poor handwriting.Some people might think handwriting is not important anymore because of computers and voice recognition(识别) programs.AAfter all，that is why we write.BNowadays teachers pay more and more attention to their students writing.CSo is it still being taught?DBut who cares if people know how to write well?EBut studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it.FTodays thinking is that short periods of practices are better.GHe says some teachers teach handwriting for ten to fifteen minutes a day.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了在电脑时代，学校教授书法的现状研究。【难句分析】Professor Graham says one study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting.分析：本句是一个复合句。that引导宾语从句，在从句中不作句子成分；published是过去分词，作后置定语，修饰one study。译文：Graham教授说今年发布的一项研究发现大约3/4的老师说他们不准备教书法。1C根据下文中的“it is being taught by about ninety percent of teachers in grades one to three”可知，空处应表示对是否要教学生书法的疑问，故C项符合语境。2E根据上文中的“If the results of a survey we have published this year are accurate，it is being taught by about ninety percent of teachers in grades one to three”及空前一句可知，此处表示对研究结果的进一步分析，故E项符合语境。3G根据下文中的“Others teach it for sixty to seventy minutes a day”可知，此处表示一些老师教授书法的时间，所以G项符合语境。4F根据语境可知，空处与上文的“Many adults remember learning that wayby copying letters over and over again”形成对比，并与下文的“Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught only with itself”呼应，此处讲述的是学书法的方法的今昔差异，故F项符合语境。5A根据语境可知，空处承接上文中的“Instead，they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas”，此处表示表达想法正是我们练习书法的原因，所以A项符合语境。三、短文改错Its not the people you came across in your daily life who will stand by you in time of a need.Its your family who will but its important to know that.It happens such often that we end up take our parents for granted.We hurt them many cases and they are treated with disrespect for not understanding them.
