More than 80 percent of the jobs are available online.At the height of the depression(萧条)，in the USthe highest unemployment rate was 10，just a little more than two million jobs were being posted each monthBut as the recovery takes hold，the job picture looks increasingly brightThats great news for HamiltonOnly once has he ever applied in person for a job at a shopping mall.

In this month s newsletter(通讯)，Peter Turner，the head teacher，warned that any cards found in school would be confiscated(没收)He wrote：“We do not wish to see any Valentines Day cards in school this year. Some children and parents encourage a lot of talk about boyfriends and girlfriends. We believe that such ideas should wait until children are mature enough emotionally and socially to understand the commitment involved in having or being a boyfriend or girlfriend.” Mr. Turner said any family wanting to support the Valentines Day idea should send cards in the post or deliver them to home addresses by hand.His views were endorsed by Ruth Rice,46，who has twins Harriet and Olivia at the school. She said，“Children at that age shouldnt really be thinking about Valentines Day，they should be concentrating on their schoolwork.” They are at an age when they are impressionable(易受影响的)and most parents including myself are with Mr. Turner.” She added that “the cards cause too much competition. If someone gets a card and another doesnt，then someone will be disappointed.”However，Rajeev Takyar,40，who has two children Jai,11，and Aryan，five，at the school，said he was “very angry”He said，“There are schools that have banned computer games and snowballs，and now Valentines Cards.” I think banning the cards stops children from having social skills. How are they going to learn about relationships otherwise？Its ridiculous. Alec Suttenwood，father of three children，said of the ban：“Its totally ridiculous. Young children just send the cards to each other as friends and to their parents. Its just a bit of harmless fun. There is no difference between this and Mothers or Fathers Day.”28Which of the following is the best title?ABan on Valentines Day cards at school is well received.BBan on Valentines Day cards at school is disapproved by many parents.CBritish children spend too much time talking about love.DA British primary school bans Valentines Day cards.29The underlined word “endorsed” means_.Acriticized BquotedCdisapproved Dapproved30What do you know about Harriet and Olivia?AThey will send Valentines Day cards this year.BThey are strongly against the schools decision.CThey are of the same age.DThey are the children of Rajeev Takyar.31According to Rajeev Takyar，_.Asending Valentines Day cards helps develop childrens social skillsBbanning Valentines Day cards will benefit childrenCthe cards cause too much competition among childrenDchildren are too young to talk about loveDSome spiders hunt on the ground, others build webs to trap their food, but the grass water spider catches its prey by running along the surface of the water.This special water spider lives on the grassy banks of streams where mosquitoes, damsel flies and other insects come to feed and breed.Although it is one of the largest spiders in New Zealand, it has an unusual ability. It doesnt disturb the water as it waits for its meal, and there is barely a ripple(波纹) when it skims(掠过) across the surface at lightning speed to catch its prey.Grass water spiders deal swiftly with larger insects like damsel flies by pulling their heads under the water and holding them there until they drown.After a meal, the grass water spider spends up to half an hour grooming(修饰) itself. It wipes its eight eyes, brushes its antennae(触角), and takes special care to clean the hairs on its body.It is the hairs that trap tiny bubbles(泡沫) of air so that the spider can run down a blade(叶片) of grass and stay underwater for up to an hour when it is frightened. The hairs also keep the spider dry, even underwater.It is only when the female spider is caring for the young that she does not hunt on the water. After mating, she produces a large egg sac(囊), which she carries around for five weeks. Once the eggs start to hatch, she attaches the sac to some blades of grass or a thistle. She then tears the sac open and releases the tiny spiders into the nursery web.32. How does the grass water spider kill its prey?A. in a web B. by drowningC. by poisoning D. with its antennae33 the writer describes the special spider as “special” because _.A. it walks on water B. it has eight eyesC. of its hairy appearance D. of the way it produces its young34. The passage tells us that the spider _.A. feeds grass and thistles to its young.B. lives on blades of grass under the waterC. lives in the grass on the banks of streamsD. eats a meal once every five weeks35. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. convince readers that spiders are dangerousB. indicate that the grass water spider is endangeredC. list all of the spiders that can be found in New ZealandD. describe the characteristics of the grass water spider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, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans 36 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion todayStrauss invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the worldLevi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829 37 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brothers dry goods businessThis gave him a chance to produce his famous inventionAfter the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunesStrauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for mineralsInstead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the minersAt first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth 38 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the minersThese pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make moreIn 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets（铆钉）This made the pants last a long timeBecause Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent 39 By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion 40 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the worldAAs a young boy, he moved with his family to the United StatesBNobody knew what kind of material was suitableCHe did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever sinceDHowever, he did not get much business for those productsEHe also made a great contribution to Americas clothing industryFSince they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer cultureGAs the business grew, Strauss got much money from it第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分40分）第一节：完形填空（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。Running for a DreamI will never forget that November day.
