uint14 careers过关检测(时间:90分钟满分:120分).阅读理解(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)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。aas i stood in a stall (货摊) of beijings silk market,waiting to exchange a silk garment (服装),i watched in amazement as the young vendor (小贩) pulled out silk nightgown after nightgown for a foreigner,who sounded like an american,but frankly could have been from any english-speaking western country.the man appeared satisfied when she pulled out a bright,purple nightgown and said,“this one,very good.” and probably asked how much it cost,for the owner pulled out her calculator showing 800.my heart was pounding heavily.after all,i was holding a similar gown in my hand for which i had paid all of 60 yuan ($9.39) just the previous day.i wanted to scream and say,“wait,you are being taken for a ride”.but i just kept silent.as i moved away from the stall a thousand thoughts flashed in my mind.should i have just stepped in and stopped it?i may have saved the man but could have brought danger to myself.maybe i could have pretended to seek help with some english from that man and warned him not to be cheated?when i told the incident to some of my friends,most seemed to think it was unfortunate but one couldnt fault the vendor.everyone visiting china knows,or ought to know,that bargaining is a way of life here,they said.although i do agree that the man should have been better informed,it just doesnt seem right that the place,to which tourists from all over the world are brought and made to believe is a mecca (向往的地方) for shopping in beijing,should be allowed to get away with such daylight robbery.i still think i should have done something about what i witnessed.1.the underlined part “being taken for a ride” in paragraph 2 probably means .a.getting a liftb.being taken inc.wasting moneyd.making a mistake提示:词义猜测题。根据该短语所在段落的意思不难发现作者想叫出来,原因是他认为那位外国人正在受到商家的欺骗,即该短语的意义应为“被欺骗”。答案:b2.the writer kept silent over this matter probably because .a.the man should know bargaining is a way of life hereb.he couldnt exchange his garment if he did soc.he was worried the vendor would take revenge on himd.he thought the garment was worth the money提示:细节理解题。根据第三段中“imayhavesavedthemanbutcouldhavebroughtdangertomyself.”一句可知答案。答案:c3.what can we know from the passage?a.the foreigner is not an american from english-speaking countries.b.most think what the vendor did was wrong.c.many tourists visit the place where the stall is.d.foreigners are often taken in in the daylight.提示:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句话中“towhichtouristsfromallovertheworldarebrought”可得出答案。答案:c4.what can be safely concluded from the passage?a.the writer regretted not having warned the man of danger.b.the writer wont buy silk garments from the vendor again.c.most tourists are not better informed when travelling in beijing.d.mecca is a place where a wide variety of high quality goods are sold.提示:推理判断题。根据文章最后一句可知,作者最终还是认为自己本应该采取行动去阻止那位外国人被欺骗,故他为自己没有警告那位外国人而感到后悔。答案:abwork isnt what it used to be.there are still people working at regular jobs,but the job market has suffered a lot.jobs are in short supply and people have had to find other ways to make a living.the internet has made it possible for people to find what makes them happy in order to make a living.work trends have changed because of technology.more and more workers are working directly from their homes.you might be hired by a company who requires you to work from home.the future of work trends is simple.more people will begin to work from home.there may even come a time when most people work from the comfort of a home office.there will always be regular jobs.someone has to run the store and drive the truck.however,if you work in an office,chances of you working from home are becoming greater and greater.the future looks bright for those who dream of earning a living from their own computer workstation and many people have already realised that dream.your future could follow a wonderful new trend in your job.it is a trend that allows mothers to stay at home with their children while still contributing to the financial status (财务状况)of the family.it also means that people can find exactly what they are looking for.there are really no limits to what can be done with job trends going the way they are.the future trends in work hold wonderful things for us.families will again have more time for each other.family life will become more of a priority (优先)and success at work will be much easier to achieve.5.from the first paragraph we can know .a.most people now work at their regular jobsb.people have had to find new ways of earning a livingc.many people now dont like work in a certain companyd.you can always find a job in the job market提示:推理判断题。由第一段中的“jobsareinshortsupplyandpeoplehavehadtofindotherwaystomakealiving.”可知,现阶段工作机会比较少,人们需要另求谋生的门路。答案:b6.your future could follow a wonderful new trend in your job because of .a.the changing lifestylesb.the powerful economic conditionsc.the development of technologyd.the comfort of the future office提示:细节理解题。根据第二段“worktrendshavechangedbecauseoftechnology.”可知,科技的发展为我们未来就业提供了新的趋势。答案:c7.from the passage we can infer that working mothers in the future will .a.do jobs better than their husbandsb.contribute more money to the familyc.play with their children more frequentlyd.play a more important role in the family and society提示:推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知,未来的工作趋势允许工作的妈妈和她们的孩子一起待在家中。答案:c8.the last two paragraphs tell us .a.the advantages of new job trendsb.the work patterns in the new trendsc.what matters most to people in the new trendsd.what is the right time to reform our work patterns提示:段落大意题。最后两段重点说明了未来就业趋势的益处。答案:acthere is no point destroying your peace of mind and happiness by taking the wrong job.society may pressure you into grabbing whatever you can get.if you do not have a set path that must be taken,then you have the opportunity to choose something you will not only be paid for doing,but enjoy.one of the best ways of finding a suitable career is to determine your personality type.it may seem obvious that the creative type does not really find much pleasure in a job as a butcher or dry cleaning assistant,and that a weak character may not find happiness in a career based on teaching or leading a team.to find the best job for your personality type,the first step is to know what and who you really are.if you already know your style,you can search for suitable employment;however,if you are uncertain,there are ways that will help you discover who and what you are.for example,an employment centre,a career adviser,or an online quiz can help you.taking my own situation for example,i am definitely a creative type.besides,i prefer to be my own boss or,if i cannot,at least i want to rely on a boss i truly both respect and admire.i do not like telling people what to do,or being told what to do.i do not relate well to regular 9-5 hours.i do not feel satisfied being paid a high wage for a bad job.i feel much happier at home.combining my creativity,independence,and desire to stay at home,my ideal career would be running a home-operated business involving creativity.i actually happen to have chosen this solution;i am a writer,poet,author and publisher.i have suited my career to my personality type.9.the first paragraph is used as a(n).a.exampleb.introductionc.conclusiond.contrast提示:推理判断题。文章重点说明在找工作时个性的作用,第一段重点在于引入这个话题。答案:b10.the author thinks in order to find the right job we should first know about .a.something about employment centreb.online job markets c.our personality typesd.the economic situation提示:细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知作者认为找到合适的职业的最好的方式之一是确定自己的个性类型。答案:c11.which of the following statements about the author is true?a.he prefers to rely on his colleagues.b.he dislikes home-operated businesses.c.he likes giving orders to others and doesnt like facing orders.d.he doesnt like the usual way of doing things.提示:推理判断题。根据文章最后一段不难看出作者是一个不愿意按通常方式做事的人,他更喜欢做自己的老板,不想告诉别人做什么或被别人告知做什么。答案:d12.what is the main idea of the passage?a.creativity and chances of success.b.jobs and your peace of mind.c.following the set path and making life easier.d.finding the right job for your personality type.提示:主旨大意题。全文围绕找工作时个性类型所发挥的作用来展开,故d项准确地概括了文章的主旨。答案:d.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 do you stay true to yourself when youre surrounded by friends and/or family
