The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9 oclock to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the tripso I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth hearing the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.36.The writer is probably _.A. workerB. a college teacherC. manager of a companyD. a clerk37.He learned _ that there would be a concert last Friday.A. from his friendsB. from one of his colleaguesC. over the radioD. from the newspaper38.He could go and buy the ticket _.A. any day before work hoursB. both before and after work hoursC. only during lunch timeD. on Saturday and Sunday39.The word “relieved” in the last two sentences may best be replaced by “_”.A. surprisedB. pleasedC. puzzledD. sorry40.The story is about _.A. a good concertB. someone enjoying a good concertC. someone trying to buy concert tickets for his friendsD. someones disappointment at not being able to go to the concertBSmart job-seekers need to rid themselves of several standard myths about interviewing before they start looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview.Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain (means “get”) a job offer.Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means rejecting job offers you dont want! So before you please an employer, be sure you want the job.Myth 2: Always please the interviewerNot true. Try to please yourself. Of course, dont be hostilenobody wants to hire someone disagreeable. But there is plainly a muddle ground between being too ingratiating（逢迎）and being hostile.Myth 3: Try to control the interviewNobody “controls” an interview. When someone tries to control us, we resent（憎恨）it. When we try to control others, they resent us. Remember you cant control what an employer thinks of you, just as he cant control what you think of him. So he is ready to give and take when being interviewed; never control the interview.Myth 4: Never interrupt the interviewerStudy the style of the effective conversationalists: they interrupt and are interrupted! An exciting conversation always makes us feel freefree to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically. Just hang loose. Try being yourself for a change. Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least youll have made an impression. Leaving an employer indifferent（冷漠的）is the worst impression you can make.41. To be your natural self in a job interview will_.A. make your interviewer angryB. please your interviewerC. leave an impression on the interviewerD. leave the interviewer indifferent to you42. For job seekers, efforts to control the interview are likely to _.A. affect the interviewers opinion of themB. lead to the offer of a jobC. enable them to express themselves fullyD. help to create a favorable image of themselves43.The most important thing to keep in mind when being interviewed for a job is to _.A. try to obtain the jobB. reject the job firstC. qualify yourself for the jobD. see if it is a job you want44.The right attitude to a job interviewer is to be _.A. obedientB. hostileC. pleasingD. agreeable45.“hang loose” in last paragraph means to _.A. stay calm and relaxedB. become weak and passiveC. take chargeD. sit back comfortablyCIn the age of reality television, success isnt the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6. The idol is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version（改写本）of Ricky Martins “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3”, on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act. Hungs response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” Thats good, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: the off-key singing; the blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high; the terrible dancing; the hips jerking（摇摆）to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad. But, it was this very bad act that sold well. Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. Thats what William did and immediately won the hearts of America. ”Whatever it is, for the moment its big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station. So, what does Hung think of this? “There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didnt have much respect for me and some were kind of mean ”Now, he says hes not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour（魅力）or to accept it. Returning to normal hasnt been easy. 46What is the main idea of this passage? ASometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly. BHungs performance attracted the public eye. CHow an unsuccessful person became famous. DSuccess sometimes does not require hard work. 47Hung was popular in America for all the following reasons EXCEPT _. Ahis shirt and pantsBhis off-key singing Chis hips jerkingDhis excellent version 48What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to? AWilliam Hung.BHungs bad act. CHungs website.DThe publics opinion. 49Which of the following shows the correct order of what happened to Hung? aThe entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung. bThe judges cut Hung off in mid-act in the singing contest. cHung became popular among Americans. dHung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best. eThree websites put Hungs funny performance on the Internet. Ad, b, e, c, a Ba, c, d, b, eCa, d, b, c, e Dd, b, a, e, c50Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America? AHis success was based on his own hard work. BHe attracted peoples attention in the contest. CHe was good-looking though he didnt sing well. DHis character was completely different from other idols”DIn a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd C. Douglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly. When difficult problems worried an individual, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solutions without the individual knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly, to the great delight of the worried individual. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known.This concept is popular today but in a different way. The phrase “pay it forward” is now used when one person helps another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility which makes us want to give back in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But, in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future.Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Nothing would please her more than to have you use her money to get a good education.You may never be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not only gave you some money, but she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it.People with serious needs are everywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools. Some are elderly people who cant afford their medicine or a doctors care. Consider how you can “pay it forward” rather than pay money back to your grandmother.51The helpers in the book “Magnificent Obsession” were not rewarded because _.A. they hadnt solved the problems thoroughly B. they had solved the problems secretlyC. they were friends of the worried individualD. they expected to be paid back in the future52. The underlined word “pay it forward” means _. A. to repay someone who has helped you B. to pay someone else who needs help C. to help someone who has helped youD. to help someone else who needs help53What does the writer suggest with the example of “your elderly grandmother”?A. We should learn to respect our grandparents.B. We should work hard to get a good education.C. We should also lend a hand to other people in need of help.D. We should never forget to repay people for their help.54From the passage we know _.A. everybody needs helpB. more children need help than elderly peopleC. it costs a lot of money to “pay it forward”D. nowadays many people help others without being repaid 55By writing the passage, the author wishes people in the world to be _.A. unselfishB. mysteriousC. honestD. unforgettable 第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡5660上将对应题号的相应字母涂黑。注意E涂AB，F涂CD。首先，请阅读下面的售货广告：A.
