philippines. since early december 2010 most tropical regions have been frequently hit by rain. just like my hometown, tropical regions only have two seasons, including the dry season that usually starts from april to september and the wet or rainy season which usually happens from october to march. but, it could be indeterminate. sometimes the rainy season can come a month earlier or later. it can be prolonged even more than 4 months and so can the dry season. even during the dry season, rain can occur several times in certain areas. the prolonged dry season in tropical areas usually causes a lot of losses. it will be very harmful to local farmers, because most of the tropical areas sre regions of the developing countries. sometimes agricultural and plantation crops will be damaged because of so much dry land and the fact that the river used to flow the water for rice fields are also dry. rain is very important for plants because rain contains many nutrients that plants are in great need of. whats more, if the prolonged rainy season arrives and then floods usually occur in certain areas of low lands. even for the capital city of jakarta floods have struck several times during the prolonged rainy season. in addition to floods, the rainy season can cause many diseases. during the dry season, diseases are usually caused by mosquitoes such as dengue fever. while in the rainy season, people who have the weak immune will be more easily attacked by some diseases such as flu, fever, diarrhea, and much more. if you live in the other places and want to travel to the tropical regions, make sure that you have known much about the season and the effect for these months in which you want to travel as tourists. only in that way, can you at least prepare to deal with tropical weather. 46. the underlined word “indeterminate” in paragraph 1 can be replaced by “ _” a. uncertain b. unknown c. untrue d. unbelievable 47. the second paragraph mainly tells us something

the capital of jakarta is flooded every year b. more crops will die after being flooded for so long. c. mosquitoes will spread more diseases among the crowd. d. people with weak immune might be attacked by some diseases 49. the main purpose of this passage is to introduce _.a. some interesting facts of tropical regions b. some knowledge about tropical regions to travelers c. some knowledge

day the culmination (顶点) of years of hard work. my graduation day. was not.i remember that weekend two years ago, family and friends had traveled far to watch our class walk across the stage. but like everyone else in my graduating class, i had watched the economy go from bad to worse during my senior year. we graduates had degrees, but very limited prospects (前景). i hadnt secured a job, and i knew that the next day, when my lease (租约) ended, i would no longer have a place to call home. the weeks ahead werent easy. i gathered up everything i couldnt carry and put it into storage. then, because i had no opportunities in my small university town, i packed up my car and drove to california to find work. but what i thought would take a week dragged into two, then four, and 100 job applications later, i found myself still jobless. the due date to begin paying back my student loans was creeping even closer. have you ever felt utter dread? that feeling became a constant in my life. the most frustrating part was no matter how much i tried, i just couldnt seem to make any progress. so what did i do to maintain my sanity? i wrote. something about putting my words on a page made everything clearer. something about writing gave me hope. i channeled my frustration into a childrens book. beyond the river was the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish who refused to give up. and then one day, with no writing degree or contacts in the writing world just hard work and perseverance i was offered a publishing contract for my first book. after that, things were in place, i was offered a second book deal. then, a few months later, i got an interview with the walt disney company and was hired shortly after. the moral of this story is dont give up, even if things look bleak now. two years ago i was drinking cold soup right out the can. things change. all we need is the courage to push beyond the river. 54. when it was time to graduate, the author felt _.a. bored b. relieved c. depressed d. hopeful 55. after the authors graduation, _.a. he went on a short trip with his family to california b. things turned even worse than he had expected c. he focused on writing instead of applying for jobs d. he found his salary was hardly enough to pay back his student loans 56. when did the authors career life begin to run smoothly according to the article?a. after he got his first publishing contract. b. after he began to write his book beyond the river. c. after he finished his book beyond the river.d. after he got hired by the walt disney company. 57. what is the main message the story intends to convey?a. opportunity lies everywhere. b. perseverance is essential to success. c. its important to adapt yourself to society. d. we should devote ourselves to whatever we do. dwere so well educated but were useless students who have lost the ability to do anything practical. the only thing weve mastered is consumption(消费).large numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated generation in history, it seems that weve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills. looking back on my first couple of weeks of living in student halls, i consider myself lucky to still be alive. unfamiliar to freshers， there are many hidden dangers in the dirty corners of students accommodation.i have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and lots of cases of food poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, i think i have now finally acquired all the domestic (居家的) skills i missed out in my modem education.in 2006 and 2010, the charming educationist sir ken robinson gave two very amusing talks in which he discussed the importance of creativity in education. robinsons main viewpoint is that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents. i would like to go a step further and propose that besides our talents, the system takes away what used to be passed from generation to generation a working knowledge of basic life skills.todays graduates may have earned themselves honor in history, law or economies, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor.since the invention of the internet, it has never been easier for people to access information, but our highly specialized education has made us more one sided than ever.i suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of “domestic science” education, before the current lack leads to serious accidents in student halls.58people call us useless students for the reason that .awhat weve learned is beyond consumptionbwe are educated generationcweve entered higher educationdour living skills are so poor59which is not the incidents the writer had during the first few weeks in student halls?ahe was seriously burnt by boiled eggs.bhe was accidentally poisoned by food.che damaged his clothes while ironing.dhe was severely beaten by fresher. 60according to robinsons opinion, our current education .afocuses on the importance if creativitybdislocates people from their natural talentschas equipped students with basic life skillsdhas followed the convention properly第二节 （共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）a carefully edit itb. keep thank-you letters shortc. just do it - and do it quicklyd. be genuine in your appreciatione. stress some of your key selling pointsf. add points not addressed in interviewstips for writing a job-search interview thank-you letter61. _ you should try to send out your thank-you letters within 24 hours of your interview- no longer than about two or three days afterward. if you have a hard time writing letters and dont want to write any, fight that urge and force yourself to write something. studies continue to show that the vast majority of job-seekers do not send thank-you letters. as a result, by doing so, you will stand out from other applicants. the speed is of great importance
