And, like Truss author of Eats, shoots & Leaves I have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.Now, Truss and I disagree on what it means to have “zero tolerance”. She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked (砍) up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”, while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies, iFixit or Dozuki, takes a compulsory grammar test. If job hopefuls cant distinguish between “to” and “too”, their applications go into the bin.Of course, we write for a living. iF is the worlds largest online repair manual (指南), and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation, like paperless work instructions and step-by-step user manuals. So, it makes sense that weve made a strong strike against grammar errors.But grammar is relevant for all companies. Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesnt make grammar unimportant. Good grammar is credibility, especially on the Internet. And, for better or worse, people judge you if you cant tell the difference between “their” “there” and “theyre”.Good grammar makes good business sense and not just when it comes to hiring writers. Writing isnt in the official job description of most people in our office. Still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers.Grammar signifies more than just a persons ability to remember high school English. Ive found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing like stocking shelves or labeling parts. It is the same with programmers. Applicants who dont think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also arent important.33. Whats the authors “zero tolerance” approach to these job seekers who mix up basic grammar?A. They should be left out for a job.B. They have to correct their mistakes.C. They arent qualified for their jobs.D. They must be severely punished.34. Which of the following is TRUE of iFixit and Dozuki?A. Only one of them has a compulsory grammar test.B. They are companies where one learns grammar.C. Grammar is quite important for their existence.D. They depend on grammar correction for a living.35. What can we learn from the text?A. Companies giving grammar tests may have no good business sense.B. Grammar becomes unimportant as language is constantly changing.C. A “zero tolerance” approach to grammar errors might seem a little unfair.D. People who pay attention to writing may pay attention to other things.【答案】33. A 34. C 35. D【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者的公司以写作为生，因此他非常看重求职者的语法基础，作者以此强调了基本语法知识的重要性。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.”可知，作者认为，不应该给犯基本语法错误的人工作机会，即使他们在其他方面能够胜任这份工作，因此他不会让混淆基本语法的求职者留下来工作，故A项正确。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“If job hopefuls cant distinguish between “to” and “too”, their applications go into the bin.”及第四段中的“Of course, we write for a living.”和“So, it makes sense that weve made a strong strike against grammar errors.”可知，这两家公司都是靠写东西为生的，因此对语法知识要求格外严格，也就是语法对它们的生存非常重要，故C项正确。【35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Applicants who dont think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also arent important.”可知，那些认为写作重要的求职者很可能认为很多其他的事情也很重要，也就是说注意写作的人可能也会注意其他事情，故D项正确。第二节 (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。Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesnt mean that we let them rule our lives forever.One day or the other, youll have to stand up and sayproblem, I dont want you in my life._36_ Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and childrenthe list goes on.Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too.These keep adding to our problems.Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.But good news is that all problems can be dealt with.Now read on to know how to solve your problems.Talk, it really helps.What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help._37_ Talking helps you move on and let go.Write your problems._38_ When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system.You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems.By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.Dont lose faith and hope.No matter what you lose in life, dont lose faith and hope.Even if you lose all your money, family.you should still have faith._39_Your problems arent the worst.No matter what problem you get in life, there are another one million people whose problems are huger than yours._40_ Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.ABut the truth is that when you talk about it，youre setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you.BWhen we have a problem，a pressing，critical，urgent，lifethreatening problem，how do we try and solve it?CTell yourself：when they can deal with them，why cant I?DOf course，weve been fighting problems ever since we were born.EWe can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.FHaving a personal diary can also be of huge help if you dont want a real person to talk with.GWith faith and hope，you can rebuild everything that you lose.【答案】36. D 37. A38. F 39. G40. C【解析】试题分析：在我们的日常生活常常会遇到各种各样的问题，遇到问题并不可怕，因为任何问题都是可以解决的。在本文中作者主要介绍了如何处理生活中遇到的问题。比如，要取得别人的帮助，要有信心，碰到问题不要灰心泄气等等。36题详解】D考查对上下文的理解判断和概括能力。根据第一段“youll have to stand up and say problem, I dont want you in my life.”和第二段“Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children the list goes on.”可知，问题伴随一个人的一生，D项“当然，自从我们出生的那一刻起，我们就在和麻烦作斗争”起到了衔接上下文的作用，故选D。【37题详解】A考查对上下文的理解判断能力。根据本段中What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help.（大多数人都会认为，自己的问题只有自己能够解决，说出来也没有用。）而A项内容是强调把问题说出来能够释放内心积压的消极情绪，表示一种转折，选A。【38题详解】F考查对上下文的理解判断能力。根据“Write your problems. .When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system.”可知，本段的建议是人们可以通过写日记来排解内心的紧张，而F选项Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you dont want a real person to talk with.内容符合语境，而且diary是信息词，故答案选F。【39题详解】G考查对上下文的理解判断能力。根据“Dont lose faith and hope. .you should still have faith.”可知，本段强调的是无论何时都不要失去信念和希望，而G选项With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose也是告诫人们只要有信念和希望，就能重建生活，内容可以承接上文，.故选G。【40题详解】C考查对上下文的理解判断能力。根据“No matter what problem you get in life, therere another one million people whose problems are huger than yours.”可知本段讲的是自己遇到的问题不会比他人的严重。而C项“告诉自己：他们都能把问题解决掉，自己为什么不能？”符合语境，故选C。【名师点睛】下面总结一些七选五的解题技巧1、先看选项。跟完形填空不一样，七选五的答案选项较少，并且给出的都是句子，因此，我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的位置。另外，通过阅读选项，有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子，这样的话我们就可以直接将该选项排除。2、再看空前空后。由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。3、注意代词或定冠词。在做这类题目的时候，一定要注意句子中出现的人称代词或者指示代词，因为我们知道，代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的，然后通过代词在句子中所做的成分我们可以推断出它指代的句子的类型，我们要做的就是从选项中找这类句型就可以了。4、注意一些特殊疑问词。如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，一定要把这句话仔细读几遍，因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的，比如对why的回答，后面要有because等表原因的词，对when的回答，后面要有表时间的状语，对where的回答，后面要有表地点的名词，对how的回答，后面要有方式状语等。5、注意一些连词。如一些表示转折的连词，but，However，yet，though，nevertheless等，另外还有一些表示并列关系的连词如and，also，as well as，neither nor，either or，not only.but also，on one hand.on the other hand等。因为这些连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系，通过不同的连词我们可以推知句子与句子之间不同的关系。考点：考查信息匹配第三部分:英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)第一节:完型填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。While I was waiting to enter university, I saw in a newsp
