tell what your abilities are and what you have 32 It should be simple human personal and brief without 33 out any necessary fact In writing a letter of application bear in mind that the things a possible employer is most 34 to want to know about are your qualifications your achievements and your aims The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part If the first few sentences fail to 35 the reader s attention the rest of the letter may not be 36 at all Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not to your own need or desires For example instead of beginning with I saw your 37 in today s paper You might say I have made a careful study of your advertising during the past six months or I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 38 your product and why they like it Try to 39 generalities Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 40 College graduates looking for their first positions often ask What can I 41 in a letter Employers want 5 experience which naturally no 42 has The answer is that everything you have ever done is 43 It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter 44 a specific request for an interview of giving the possible employer something definite to do or expect An excellent 45 is to enclose a stamped self addressed envelope with your letter That makes it easier for a

them to see different things when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times you may see different things The following are only some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions 感知 认知 1 Each person s perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning education and personal experiences 2 Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we ve observed It is not necessarily true that a person s perception is based on observations of a particular person Your 6 observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person or you may focus primarily on the situation or role relationship Most people do not use the same standard to measure their parents their friends and strangers 3 Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don t see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs desires or temporary emotional states This is a process known as selective perception Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory information is particularly obvious but it can be done We can disregard the misdeed He s basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting 入店行窃 We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information All kids are naughty Taking a book from the bookstore isn t such a big deal We can change the meaning of the contradictory information It wasn t shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later 46 The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is A what we see and what we hear B cultural background and personal experiences C experiences one learns from others D critical measures taken by other people 47 While one observes a particular person A he is likely to take everything into consideration B he pays more attention to the person s advantages C his standards for children and grown ups are different D his perception may be affected by other people s opinions 48 Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because A their measuring standards are not the same B either of them may be slow to catch information C the time for observation is not long enough D each of them uses different words to express his her impressions 49 The worst thing in selective perception is that A perceived information runs against your desire B it contains some private feelings that may be wrong 7 C importance of the contradictory information can be observed D the same information may not be dealt with in the same way 50 The underlined word disregard in Paragraph 4 means to A understand something B try to do something C pay no attention to something D know something better B A newly wedded couple on a four month honeymoon were hit by six natural disasters including the Australian floods Christchurch earthquake and Japanese tsunami 海啸 Stefan and Erika Svanstrom left Stockholm Sweden on December 6 and were immediately stranded 搁浅 in Munich Germany due to one of Europe s worst snowstorms Travelling with their baby daughter they flew on to Cairns in Australia which was then struck by one of the most violent cyclones in the nation s history From there the couple in their 20s were forced to shelter for 24 hours on the cement 水泥 floor of a shopping centre with 2 500 others Trees were being knocked over and big branches were put down across the streets Mr Svanstrom told Sweden s Expressen newspaper We escaped by the skin of our teeth Mr Svanstrom said they then headed south to Brisbane but the city was experiencing massive flooding so they crossed the country to Perth where they narrowly escaped burning bush fires The couple then flew to Christchurch New Zealand arriving just after a massive magnitude 震级 6 3 earthquake attacked the city on February 22 Mrs Svanstrom said When we got there the whole town was a war zone We could not visit the city since it was completely blocked off so instead we travelled around before going to Japan But days after the Svanstroms arrived Tokyo was rocked by Japan s largest earthquake since records began The trembling was horrible and we saw roof tiles fly off the buildings Mr Svanstrom said It was like the buildings were swaying back and forth The family returned to Stockholm on March 29 after a much calmer visit to their last destination China 8 But Mr Svanstrom who also survived the devastating 毁灭性的 Boxing Day tsunami that hit southeast Asia in 2004 said the marriage was still going strong He added I know marriages have to experience some difficulties but I think we have been through most of them We ve certainly experienced more than our fair share of disasters but the most important thing is that we re together and happy 51 The best title for this passage is A Meeting Disasters During Honeymoon B Six Natural Disasters C Newly wed Couple Met Australian Floods D Japanese Tsunami 52 Why were Stefan and Erika Svanstrom stopped in Munich A Christchurch earthquake stopped them B Because of Europe s worst snowstorm C The plane was damaged D The trains broke down 53 Which of the following statements is NOT true A The family were stuck in a mall of

difficulties to make it steady C She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever But at 9 nearly 500 years of age time is catching up with the Mona Lisa The health of the famous picture painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505 is getting worse by the year according to the Louvre museum 卢浮宫博物馆 where it is housed The thin wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago the museum said Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world s most famous painting is not easy Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year many attracted by the mystery of her smile It is very interesting that when you re not looking at her she seems to be smiling and then you look at her and she stops said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University It s because direct vision 视觉 is excellent at picking up detail but less suited to looking at shadows Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows However the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him until it was eventually sold to France s King Francis I in 1519 In 1911 the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat He said he planned to return it to Italy The painting was sent back to France two years later During World War II French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces Like many old ladies the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell 56 We can infer from the text that A the Mona Lisa is proved to be able to last another 500 years B Mona Lisa s beauty is being weakened gradually with 500 years passing by C many people are attracted by Mona Lisa s smile D Mona Lisa does not look out of date though painted 500 years ago 57 Which of the following is true about the Mona Lisa A It was once taken away and hidden up by German forces B Its painter himself loved it greatly and always kept it in a shade C Mona Lisa seems to stop smiling when you look at her wanting to see her smiles 10 D King Francis I bought it and then returned it to Italy 58 Choose the right order about the happenings onto Mona Lisa a It was stolen from the Louvre b Its painter sold it to King Francis I c Its state of health was checked d It was returned to France and housed in the Louver Museum e It was hidden and protected against Germans A b a d e c B d e c b a C d a e c b D b c a d e 59 It may add to the difficulty in repairing the painting that A experts haven t noticed changes in its shape as visitors do B it is likely to be stolen again when it s under repair C it is uncertain which country Italy or France should take charge D experts aren t sure about the materials and the chemical state of its oil paint 60 From the last paragraph we can infer that A many interesting stories have been written about the Mona Lisa B people are interested in the stories about the Mona Lisa C some mysteries still remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa D Many more stories will be told about the Mona Lisa D Until the twentieth century cigarettes were not an important threat to public health Men used tobacco mainly in the form of cigars They chewed tobacco piped tobacco and snuffed Most women did not use tobacco at all The cigarette industry began in 1870s with the development of the cigarette manufacturing machine This made it possible to produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly and it reduced the price Today cigarette smoking is a widespread habit About forty three percent of the adult men and thirty one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly It is encouraging to note however that millions of people have quit smoking Seventy five percent of the male population and forty six percent of the female population have smoked cigarettes for some time during their lives but twenty six percent of these men and eleven percent of the women have stopped smoking The number of persons who have given up smoking 11 is increasing Men as a group smoke more than women Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is the age group 24 44 Income education and occupation all play a part in determining a person s smoking habit City people smoke more than people living on farms Well educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes On the other hand if a well educated man with a higher income smokes he s likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day The situation is somewhat different for women There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family incomes and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily Among teenagers the picture is similar There are fewer teenager smokers from upper income well educated families and also fewer from families living in farm areas High school students who are preparing for college are less likely to smoke than those who don t plan to continue their education after high school Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke 61 The underlined word picture in the last paragraph probably means A situation B photo C painting D teenager 62 Which group of people smoked more according to the passage A The group of women B The group of teenagers C The group of men D The group of old people 63 Which of the following factors will be likely to decide whether a person smokes or not A income and sex B
