passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.job hunting has always been a headache for college graduates. though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are 48 . most serious of all, some still have no idea 49 to go working even a long time after graduation. the reasons 50 this phenomenon are various. on the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors 51 the number of graduates is greater than the need in the market. on the 52 hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable jobs to do 53 go to the country. i believe the problem can be solved 54 both colleges and students take measures. first, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its needs. second, students attitude towards employment should be changed. they should go to some small cities 55 the countryside. there they can also give full play to their professional knowledge. in a word, if we pay much attention, the problem can be solved. part reading comprehension (30marks)directions: read the following passages. each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished

yeas, with only 1,700 now remaining.the wildlife conservation society (wcs) continue to sound the alarm, and warn that if poaching (非法守猎) of forest elephants in congo continues, they could nearly die out from africas second largest country within ten years.according to the latest survey, 5,100, or 75 percent, of the reserves elephants have been killed in the last 15 years. these numbers are particularly shocking, as the okapi faunal reserve is considered to be the best protected conservation area in congo. according to wcs, the primary reason for the recent decline in forest elephant numbers is ivory(象牙) poaching.in the early 1990s, before the civil war of 1996-2003, congo was relatively calm. according to a 1995-1997 survey of the okapi faunal reserve, there were approximately 6,800 forest elephants living there.after the civil war, another survey was carried out in 2005-2007, and found that the elephants had suffered heavy losses. their population dropped by 60 percent to approximately 2,700. despite this dramatic decline, the okapi faunal reserve had done much better than other protected areas during the civil war. for example, in salonga national park, a huge area that once held the largest elephant population in congo, the elephants had declined to less than 1,000. thus by 2007, the okapi faunal reserve had congos largest remaining forest elephant population.during the war, the park guards could not protect much of the okapi faunal reserve, but were able to record elephant kills and ivory poaching. since the end of the civil war, five years ago, they have reduced the decline from about 400 to 170 elephants annually.66. according to the passage, how many elephants are there in the okapi faunal reserve now?a. 5100 b. 1700 c. less than 1000 d. 270067. the recent decline in forest elephant numbers in congo resulted from according to wcs.a. bad natural environments b. no natural reservesc. ivory poaching d. poor living conditions68. which of the following is true about the okapi faunal reserve?a. its the best protected elephant conservation area in congob. its elephant population keeps increasing yearlyc. it was overtaken by salonga national park in 2007d. it lost most of its elephants in the last 5 years69. what can we learn from the last paragraph?a. the elephant population will stop decliningb. the park guards lost all hopes during the warc. the park guards can do nothing to stop the declined. the park guards are trying to protect the elephants70. what might be the authors purpose in writing the text?a. to ask people not to poach.b. to show the importance of the wildlife.c. to raise concern with congos forest elephants.d. to tell a heartbreaking story of a war.part writing （45 marks）section a（10 mark）directions: read
