it is exactly the kind of 50 you always ask yourself. research shows that the match between your job and your 51 plays an important role in your job satisfaction and success. large firms often use personality assessment to 52 future employees performance. john hollands personality types are based on a 53 of career description and choice. it is used 54 in career guidance today. it shows that people who choose to work in an environment 55 to their personality types are more likely to be satisfied and successful. for example, when artistic people are together that rewards creative thinking and behavior.49. a. waited b. asked c. begged d. settled50. a. charge b. memory c. question d. image51. a. personality b. pleasure c. patience d. happiness52. a. promise b. inspire c. demand d. predict53. a. gesture b. theory c. routine d. project54. a. suddenly b. partly c. widely d. completely55. a. similar b. strange c. hard d. important四、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。a when growing up, i always wanted a dog. but my dad is very clean. not just clean, i might say. he hoses down (用水管浇) the backyard and the front walkway, and even gets halfway down the street, until we yell, “dad, you cant hose down the world!” then he comes inside and starts brushing the fingerprints off the walls. so, no dog. when i was eight, we moved to a larger house, with a pool, in a gated community. i was very against moving. why, i cried, were we leaving everything and everyone we knew and loved?! our old house was great; it was on a hill! well, to calm me down, my parents told me that we could get a dog after the move. this was the only thing that my parents ever promised but hasnt happened in my life so far. now, in my twenties, i have a dog. he is fluffy (毛茸茸的), but not too fluffy; small, but not too small; white, but not too white. he is amazing. i dont even believe in perfection really, but this dog is perfect for me. its the dog i always dreamt of having, and he loves me as i knew a dog would. at first i was not used to having a non-human, living thing with a beating heart following me around. now i give the dog water, walk him and teach him how to lie in his bed while we are eating, so as not to bother us. in some ways, i am glad i have been forced to wait until this age to have a dog. i dont take him for granted. i am happy every morning when i wake up and hear his little nails clicking across the floor. i can see how a dog is not for everyone. they require a lot of attention and love.56. what is the first paragraph mainly about? a. what kind of person the father is. b. why the author wanted to have a dog. c. how the father kept the house clean. d. why the author couldnt have a dog.57. why did the author dislike the new house? a. it was small. b. it was on a hill. c. it was unsuitable for a dog. d. there was nothing familiar.58. what does the author want to express through the underlined sentence in paragraph 3? a. the dog is perfect in her eyes. b. it is difficult to describe the dog. c. the dog is different form other dogs. d. she likes the dog but it isnt good enough.59. according to the last two paragraphs, we can learn that . a. not everyone likes dogs b. it takes a long time to get along well with a dog c. the author was familiar with the dog as soon as she saw it d. the long wait has made the author treasure the dog betterb some differences between uk and us english are well documented. for example, most people know that football is a different game in north america and the uk, and any american in the uk quickly learns not to talk about fanny packs. but there are also some more subtle differences that might stymie visitors to britain, especially those who have learnt american english. please: americans say pleasejust not always where the british expect to hear it. the british say please when ordering food in restaurants (or requesting things in shops) because they view the action as a personal request to the waiter. americans regard ordering as providing the waiter with the information he needs to do his job, so they say ill have the chicken. as language blogger, ben trawick-smith, has noted, please can add implication（暗示）of impatience and anger to an american request. quite: before an adjective, american quite means very, while british quite means somewhat. so, if an american tourist is quite tired, direct him to his bed. but if a british person tells you a restaurant is quite good, youd be wise to keep looking for somewhere better. pants: americans dont use the word trousers much, and when they do, it only applies to menswear. instead, americans say they wear pants on their lower halves. when those clothes get damaged on their travels, they sometimes talk about the stains on their pants in public. of course, they are regarded with horror or laughed at, since british pants usually refer to underpants. subway: follow signs pointing to a subway in london, and youll find yourself either at an american fast-food joint or in an underground tunnel. and there in the tunnel, youll find confused americans looking around for the trains. while the new york subway is a railway under the citys streets, in london it is a pedestrian way beneath a road.60. the underlined word “stymie” in the first paragraph probably means “ ”.a. push b. prevent c. encourage d. allow61. if an american customer in a coffee shop says “please”, it means that . a. he is very grateful for the waiters service b. the waiter is very slow or he is unsatisfied with the service c. he is very satisfied with the coffee in this shop d. he is very polite and patient62. if you are a guide and british tourists say that the hotel is quite good, you should .a. keep looking for a better hotelb. take them to stay in the hotelc. keep showing them around tourist attractionsd. ask the hotel to make some changes to the service63. if you ask a native in london where the subway is, you will probably find in the end. a. a shopping mall b. a coffee shop c. an underground tunnel d. a railwayc doting (溺爱的) owners are often blamed when pets put on a few pounds. but experts say that in many cases overweight dogs and cats are “emotional eaters”. they also eat more than they need simply to cope with boredom or stress, research has found. that means, if they have gained weight, it could be because they have been through an upsetting or emotional event. now researches have also suggested that putting an overweight cat or dog on a diet, could make them unhappy, because the owner is taking away their “coping mechanism”. the study says the obesity rate is as much as 25 percent in cats, and 45 percent in dogs. the problem has been similar to that of bridget jones, the single lady who hides away from her troubled love life by eating, with vets believing some pets use food to cope with sadness, according to the sunday telegraph. comfort eating in humans tends to involve high calorie foods which the individual chooses, including ice cream and chocolate. but research shows animals are less fussy, and will go on a comfort binge (放纵吃喝) even if the only food on offer is their usual dog or cat food. the research results are published in the latest edition of the journal of veterinary behavior by dr franklin mcmillan, a vet and former clinical professor of medicine at the western university of health sciences college of veterinary medicine, in california. he said “emotional eating” in pets could be caused by feelings including boredom, anxiety and depression. but the research has also suggested overeating could also be a sign of a happy emotional state, as well as a psychological state of disorder.64. what is the pets “coping mechanism” mentioned in the passage? a. eating b. sleeping c. running d. roaring65. the underlined word, “fussy”, in the fifth paragraph, probably means “ ”. a. easy to change b. free from dirt c. difficult to please d. sensitive to food66. what can lead to “emotional eating” in pets? good feelingsnegative emotionsphysical hurtpsychological states of disordera. b. c. d. 67. where can we probably find this passage? a. in a guide for pet owners. b. in a report about medicine. c. in a magazine about pet food. d. on a website about pets.dresearchers may tell us that spending money on experiences produces more happiness than spending money on things. going to a bar with friends is always pleasurable in slightly different ways. however, on the other hand, a table may also give lots of positive experience in the future.i just moved from new york city to suburban pennsylvania. its been quite a change of pace, with some positives and negatives. one of the best parts is that im spending more time outside. i quite enjoy staying outside, especially eating outside. i had a goal to eat outside as often as possible this summer, so one of my first purchases for the new house was a table and a set of chairs for the yard.is my yard table a thing or an experience? its clearly a thing and yet it enables the experience of eating outside. i love eating outside, and so my yard table is one of my favorite purchases ever. therefore
