Mr. Masel says PDF files, mobile devices and fast Internet have changed the way he works. “I used to personally send my resumes (简历) to a clients office，” he says. “Now I can send an application to a client within seconds via the Internet.”Some companies have developed their own mobile apps to simplify the process. Job seekers can post their resumes online and apply for posts with a single mouse click. And it is not only computers but also mobile phones. However, some employers do not follow up on the applications they receive. It results in candidates becoming disillusioned and less inclined to click on new jobs. Dennis Masel says three steps can help you stand out.First, he advises candidates to reach out to online networking connections at the company where you want to work. “By making a personal connection, you could essentially make your application stand out and get noticed by people.”Second, he says, you must react quickly when you see a job you want. “For every position that you are interested in, you have to imagine that thousands of jobseekers are all coming after the same position. Youve got to be quick. Sometimes positions are filled within the span of hours.”Third, use email notices on job listing sites and choose to get only the ones you want.“I absolutely love email notices because I can get exactly the jobs that interest me, and its really easy for me to basically in，” he says. “Put keywords in, such as the location you want to search and your experience, and get exactly what you want.”语篇解读：本文介绍了在智能手机时代，如何利用手机快速找到自己心仪的工作，并且给出了三条实用的建议。4According to Paragraph 1, people nowadays change the way they work NOT because of_.Afast InternetBPDF filesCresumeDtechnology解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段中“Mr.Masel says PDF files, mobile devices and fast Internet have changed the way he works.”可知，只有简历没有提到，选项C正确。5The underlined word “disillusioned” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”AdesperateBencouragedCanxiousDinterested解析：选A词义猜测题。根据第二段的“some employers do not follow up on the applications”和画线部分后面的“.less inclined to click on new jobs”可知，一些雇主并不会深入地看完申请，所以申请人会沮丧，故选项A正确。6What can we infer from this passage?AEvery position is filled within the span of hours.BEmail notices will play important roles in job hunting.CMobile phones will take the place of computers in job seeking.DEmployers do not acknowledge the applications they receive online.解析：选B推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，邮件检索在搜寻工作中作用很大。A项、C项过于绝对。D项在文章中没有体现。故可推断选项B正确。7By writing the passage, the author intends to_.Ahighlight the stress of job huntingBanalyze the cause of failure in job huntingCintroduce some currently popular hitech toolsDoffer readers some useful advice about job hunting解析：选D写作目的题。作者主要就找工作为读者提供了一些有用的建议。CA man walked into a small Irish pub and ordered three beers. The bartender was surprised, but he served that man three beers. One hour later the man ordered three beers again. The very next day that man ordered three beers again and drank quietly at a table. This repeated several times and shortly after the people of the town were whispering about the man, who was ordering three beers at once.A couple of weeks later, the bartender decided to figure this out and inquired, “I do not want to pry, but could you explain, why do you order three beers all the time？” The man replied, “It seems strange, isnt it? You see, my two brothers live abroad at the moment, one in France and another in Italy. We have made an agreement, that every time we go to the pub each of us will order extra two beers and it will help keep up the family bond.”Soon the whole town heard about the mans answer and liked it a lot. The man became a local celebrity. Residents of the town were telling this story to newcomers or tourists and even invited them to that pub to look at Three Beers Man.However, one day the man came to the pub and ordered only two beers, not three as usual. The bartender served him with bad feeling. All that evening the man ordered and drank only two beers. The very next day the whole town was talking about this news; some people prayed for the soul of one of the brothers; others quietly grieved.When the man came to the pub the next time and ordered two beers again, the bartender said, “I would like to offer condolences to you, due to the death of your dear brother.” The man considered this for a moment and then replied, “Oh, you are probably surprised that I order only two beers now? Well, my two brothers are alive and well. Its just because of my decision. I promised myself to give up drinking.”语篇解读：一位男子去酒吧喝酒，每次都是点三杯啤酒，其中有两杯是为他两个在国外的兄弟点的，但有一天他只点了两杯酒，结果引发了误解。8The man ordered three beers all the time because _.Apeople were fond of drinking beers in this pubBhe missed his two brothers living abroad very muchCit was an agreement with his brothers to keep up the family bondDthis would help him become a local celebrity解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“.We have made an agreement, that every time we go to the pub each of us will order extra two beers and it will help keep up the family bond.”可知，男子每次去酒吧点三杯酒是因为与两个兄弟有约定。故选C项。9We can infer from the passage that _.Anews traveled fast in the townBthe man became famous in the town because he was a heavy drinkerCthe mans brothers liked drinking beer very muchDthe man was strongminded to give up drinking解析：选A推理判断题。根据第一段中“This repeated several times and shortly after the people of the town were whispering about the man, who was ordering three beers at once.”及倒数第二段的“The very next day the whole town was talking about this news”可知，在这个小城镇，消息传播得非常快。故选A项。10The bartender served the man with bad feeling because _.Ahe would earn less moneyBhe thought the man should order three beersChe thought one of the mans brothers had passed awayDthe man decided to drink two beers解析：选C细节理解题。根据最后一段中酒吧招待的话可知，他以为饮酒男子的一个兄弟去世了。故选C项。11The underlined word “condolences” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “_”AgratitudeBappreciationCsurpriseDsympathy解析：选D词义猜测题。根据画线词后的内容“.due to the death of your dear brother.”可知，酒吧招待是在向失去兄弟的饮酒男子表达慰问。由此可猜测，condolence意为“同情”，与sympathy意义相近。故选D项。DIf youre only going to read one parenting book in your life, make this one be your choice: How to Raise an Adult, written by former Stanford president Julie LythcottHaims.After ten years of working as a student consultant at Stanford, LythcottHaims found that the students coming into Stanford were not fully formed as humans. She said Americas present young adults are helpless in the face of real life, are sad and disturbing. These young people, who should be going on an exciting new stage in life, are unnaturally dependent, and even unable to perform such basic tasks as speaking with professors and furnishing an apartment without parental assistance.Theres another problem with parenting, LythcottHaims said. Children are losing out on a normal childhood that includes free time and free play; parents, particularly mothers, are sacrificing their own interests in order to guarantee their childrens extracurricular activities, all in hopes of forming the perfect college applicants in the eyes of one of the eight traditional universities in the eastern US with high academic standards and a high social status that will only accept 5 to 10 percent of applicants.LythcottHaims suggests that parents adopt an authoritative parenting style one that balances warmth with strictness, direction with freedom, and seeks to put chances for independence into their childrens lives. She insists on the importance of play time, teaching life skills through chores, preparing them for hard work by setting high expectations for their help at home, and normalizing the idea of struggle, which is something so many parents try to erase on behalf of their children.The book has challenged me to examine the many things I do around the house that could (and should) be done by my kids instead. As a result, theyve received revised chore lists for this school year that are much longer than anything they had before. So far, theyve proven to be perfectly capable.语篇解读：本文是议论文。文章通过How to Raise an Adult这本书，指出美国现在的年轻人由于受到父母的过度干涉，自身的成长受到限制。12Whats wrong with American young adults nowadays?AThey lead a purposeless life.BThey are under great pressure.CThey are cared for too much by their parents.DThey dont communicate with their parents.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，父母们过于关心孩子，导致现在的美国年轻人缺乏自理能力，不能独立。13What do American parents expect of their children?AAlways trying their best.BBecoming a normal adult.CLearning more useful skills.DEntering a famous university.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段可知，美国父母期望孩子能上一所名牌大学。14What is the main idea of Paragraph 4?AThe ways to raise a perfect adult.BThe things children can do at home.CThe things parents should avoid doing.DThe ways parents can change themselves.解析：选A段落大意题。根据第四段可知，本段就如何养育孩子提出了切实可行的建议。15What does the author think of LythcottHaims advice?ASurprising.BPractical.CComplexDInteresting.解析：选B推理判断题。分析最后一段可知，作者按照LythcottHaims的建议重新调整了自己教育孩子的策略，而且孩子们现在也很有能力，由此可知，作者认为LythcottHaims的建议是切实可行的。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Make a Chinese Hot PotEating a Chinese hot pot is a very common experience.
