It should state 36 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 37 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 38 out any necessary fact. In writing a letter of application, keep in 39 that the things a possible employer is most 40 to want to know about are your qualifications（条件）, your achievements and your aims.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 41 the first few sentences fail to 42 the readers attention, the rest of the letter may not be 43 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not 44 your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 45 in todays paper. ”you might say“I have made a careful 46 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighbourhood to find out how many housewives 47 your product and why they like it.” Try to 48 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 49 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“ What can I 50 in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no 51 has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is 52 . It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 53 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 54 is to enclose（内附）a stamped, self - addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 55 for a possible employer to get in touch with you. 36A. clearly B. carefully C. obviouslyD. easily 37A. found B. doneC. knownD. heard 38A. sending B. takingC. leavingD. picking 39A. brain B. sightC. orderD. mind 40A. probable B. possibleC. likelyD. able 41A. While B. AlthoughC. AsD. If 42A. pay B. winC. showD. fix 43A. kept B. continued C. writtenD. read 44A. to B. forC. intoD. from 45A. advertisement B. report C. article D. introduciton 46A. watch B. searchC. studyD. discussion 47A. change B. makeC. sellD. use 48A. avoid B. rememberC. protectD. gain 49A. losing B. applyingC. preparingD. fitting 50A.B. supplyC. meanD. provide offer 51A. worker B. beginnerC. ownerD. manager 52A. success B. development C. practice D. experience 53A.

For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities（配套设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists , jobs and money are lost. 56Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection？ A. It is extremely important to develop tourism. B. Building roads and hotels is essential. C. Support facilities are highly necessary. D. Planning is of great importance to tourism. 57The underlined word“ inhabitants” （in Paragraph 1 ） probably means_. A. tourists B. passengers C. population D. citizens 58Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _ . A. a bad effect on other industries B. a change of tourists customs C. over - crowdedness of places of interest D. pressure on traffic 59It can be inferred from the text that _ . A. the author doesnt like tourism developing so fast B. local people will benefit from tourist attraction C. other parts of a countrys economy wont benefit from tourism much D. we cant build too many support facilities 60The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will _ . A. waste a lot of money B. weaken their economy C. help establish their customs D. help improve their life B Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word“obey”is hardly exact as a description of the eager and delighted co- operation（合作） usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gestures and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. Its agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particular expression like delight, pain, friendliness and so on. But since these cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self - imitation（自我模仿）leads out to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will. change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use, at seven months, of“ mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at another time for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, however , whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of his ability in an attempt to teach new words. 61Children who start speaking late _ A. may have problems with their listening B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them C. usually pay close attention to what they hear D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly 62A babys first noises are _ . A. an expression of his moods and feelings B. an early form of language C. an imitation of the speech of adults D. a sign that he means to tell you something 63The problem of deciding at what point a babys imitation can be considered as speech _ . A. is important because words have different meanings for different people B. is not especially important because the change takes place gradually C. is one that should be ignored（忽略）because childrens use of words is often meaningless D. is one that can never be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age 64The speaker implies that _ . A. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitation B. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly C. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak D. patents can never hope to teach their children new sounds C Inside China Daily China, Japan ink fishery accord The New China -Japan Fishery Agreement will be put into effect starting June this year, Chinese vice - minister of agriculture, Qi Jingfa told a press conference yesterday in Beijing.

A. how Taiwans new leader was made B. that people think differently of reducing pupils burden C. sad stories about students with heavy burden in primary and middle schools D. interesting stories of art fairs, galleries and exhibitions of different shapes in China D Most British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive designs. There are 100, 000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card. The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and. now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are attractive, small and light , and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4, 000 pounds. The first Japanese card has a value of about 28, 000 pounds. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors magazine. 68The text is mainly about _ . A. the history of phone cards B. phone card collecting as a hobby C. reason for phone card collecting D. the great variety of phone cards 69When did people in Britain begin to use phone cards? A.

The students, mostly from majors such as business management or international trade, will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so. Training costs have dropped to 2, 600 yuan for students, according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing. The price is not really low, but students will accept it, seeing it as an investment （投资）in their future. Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job. But a drivers permit has become another factor （因素）. “In the job market, owning a drivers permit sometimes strengthens a graduating students competitiveness for a good position, ”says Zhou Yang, an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law. Cars will become a necessary part of many peoples lives in the coming years, and it is difficult to get a permit of campus because of the pressures on working peoples time. “Having a fulltime job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive. We senior students have plenty of spare time, plenty of opportunity to learn. ”Zhou says. Xu Jian, an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very able and serious, and could grasp in an hour what ordinary people took four hours to learn.

You may think that this is rather silly, and that it is better to call a spade. But dustmen can be just as sensitive as people of any other occupations, though we must admit that their job is not the most romantic one in the world. We often take dustmen for granted. Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are up, we are inclined to forget that they exist. Our dustbins are emptied regularly, but we rarely stop to think about the men who do this. However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen , the general public soon becomes aware that something is wrong. 2,4,6 2,4,6 Recently, the dustmen of England went on strike for higher wages. During the first few days it was regarded as a jo
