26、the CotswoldsSection B (A) When having an interview, its not just words you have to think about, but also how you express them. Avoid a flat monotone(单调的) voice that people sometimes get when they are nervous. And it can add so much if you show your excitement and your eagerness to work for that com

27、pany, and that is where past performance will indicate future performance. So good interviewers will ask you very detailed questions where theyll put you on the spot and theyll want to know specifically your role in what you did for a particular project. And so the key to giving a good answer to a b

28、ehavioral interview question is to do what I call a STAR, S-T-A-R. The S and T stand for explaining a situation or a task that you were given, the A is the action you took and the R is the results. In addition, you need to be prepared before you walk in the door. Go through some mock interviews, if

29、you can have friends ask you questions. Practice in the mirror, answering questions. Go in with three or four things you really want to stress about yourself. And then you can bring those out no matter what question is asked. To follow up after the interview, you can send a thank-you letter. And you

30、 can do it by e-mail. In that thank-you letter you do a couple of things. You make sure that you show sincere appreciation for the time that they spent interviewing you. You have another chance to make that case as to how your skills match their needs. 65. What should you think about when having an

31、interview? A. How to express what you want to say. B. How to use a flat monotone voice. C. How to ask very detailed questions. D. How to hide your excitement and eagerness.66. To give a good answer to a behavioral interview question you neednt explain _. A. the action you took B. the results you got

32、 C. your eagerness to carry out the project D. a situation or a task that you were given67. Whats the main purpose of this passage? A. To give suggestions on having an interview. B. To introduce some keys to being a successful interviewer. C. To encourage people to send a thank-letter before intervi

33、ew. D. To advise people to ask friends some questions before interview.(B) Dear Lee, As I told you, Ill be gone until Wednesday morning. Thank you so much for taking care of my “children” while Im away. Like real children, they can be kind of annoying sometimes, but Im going to enjoy myself so much

34、more knowing theyre getting some kind human attention. Remember that Regina (the “queen” in Latin, and she acts like one) is teething. If you dont watch her, shell chew anything, like the sofa, chairs, including her “sister”, the cat. There are plenty of chew toys around the house. Whenever she star

35、ts biting on anything illegal, just divert her with one of those. She generally settles right down to a good hour-long chew. Then youll see her wandering around whimpering(低吠) with the remains of the toy in her mouth. She gets really frustrated because what she wants is to bury the thing. Shell try

36、to dig a hole between the cushions of the couch. Finding that unsatisfactory, shell wander some more, discontent, until you solve her problem for her. I usually show her the laundry basket, moving a few clothes so she can bury her toy beneath them. I do sound like a parent, dont I? You have to under

37、stand, my own son is practically grown up. Reginas food is the Puppy Chow in the same room, where the other pet food is stored. Give her a bowl once in the morning and once in the evening. No more than that, no matter how much she begs. Regina likes to eat bones best and she is likely to be an overe

38、ater, but I dont want her to lose her girlish figure. She can share water with Rex (the King), but be sure its changed daily. She needs to go out several times a day, especially last thing at night and first thing in the morning. Let her stay out for about ten minutes each time, so she can do all he

39、r business. She also needs a walk in the afternoon, after which its important to romp with her for a while in the yard. The game she loves most is fetch, but be sure to make her drop the ball. Shed rather play tug of war with it. Tell her, “Sit!” Then, when she does, say, “Drop it!” Be sure to tell

40、her “good girl,” and then throw the ball for her, I hope youll enjoy these sessions as much as I do.Now, for the other two, Rex and Paws(letter continues) Yours, Linda68.

Two cats and a dog.B. A c

43、at, a dog and a parrot.C. Two dogs and an unspecified animal.D. A dog, a cat, and an unspecified animal. (C) The requisite visit happened typically on every Saturday, when my child spirits were at their highest as it was sunny and could be most weakened by the narrow inner part of my grandmothers ho

44、use. My mother, accustomed to the bright, spacious farmhouse that was Grandmas, seemed no less sensitive to the darkness. She would set her jaw and listened when Grandma described how many small illnesses appeared as she grew older and would check her watchan hour being the minimum she expected hers

45、elf to endure. Her barely contained impatience and my grandmothers disabled age radiated out around me. I would sit at the white and red metal table with the pull-out and built-in silverware drawer, cracking almonds(杏仁). This was the one good thing at Grandmas house, the almonds, which she kept in a

46、 green glass bowl. I would lift the lid carefully and try to set it down on the metal table quietly, then attempt to crack the nuts without scattering the shell crumbs（碎屑）. It was not good to draw attention to myself at Grandma Carlsons. Sounding angry, she would call to me in her long drawl(长调). Wh

47、en I failed to understand her, she would reach out to me with her trembling and wrinkled hand and shout, “Here!” She would be offering some of her handmade candy, which tasted a little bitter.There was this painful air in the dim house with its old furniture and its dark colours, an awareness that G

48、randmas age scared her grandkids. I would long during the dutiful visit to get outside into the yard, where Grandma had transplanted a few flowers when she moved from the farm. But even the yard, with its overgrown hedges(篱笆) and rusted metal lawn chairs, seemed dull. When I came back inside, light

49、and air bursting in with me, Grandma, her hair up, would rock a little and smile. I would lean then against my mothers chair, Grandmas fond eyes staring at me, and whisper out of the corner of my mouth, “Mom, can we go?”72. From the overall context of the passage, it is most likely that the word req

50、uisite means _.A. essential B. recreational C. happy D. expected73. My mother _. A. owned a bright, spacious farmhouseB. listened to grandma carefully and patientlyC. described her small illnesses to meD. would listen to grandma for at least one hour74. Which of the following statements is NOT true

51、according to the passage?A. I would sit at the white and red metal table, cracking almonds. B. I would lift the lid quickly enough to set it down on the metal table.C. It was impolite to draw attention to myself at Grandma Carlsons.D. Grandma had transplanted a few flowers in the yard.75. Which of t

52、he following might be the best title of the passage?A. The Weekly Visit B. The Grandmas LoveC. A Family ReunionD. My joyful SaturdaysSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachparagraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. Brea

53、k it upB. Have a list C. Sleep on itD. Create Visual AidsE. Take Small Bites of TimeF. Do it Out LoudThere are many ways to help you improve your memory. 76. Most people memorize information best when they study in short periods over a long period of time. Memorizing facts from index cards that can

54、be carried with you and pulled out for a few ten-minute sessions each day will yield better results than sitting down with a text book for an hour straight. Index card notes can be pulled out in odd moments: while you are sitting in the car waiting to pick up your friend, during the 15 minutes you s

55、pend on the bus in the morning, while you wait to be picked up from school or work, and so on. Youll find these short but regular practices will greatly aid your recall of lots of information. Theyre a great way to add more study time to your schedule. 77. When you have a list to memorize, divide th

56、e list into groups of seven or any other number. People seem to remember best when they divide long lists into shorter onesand, for some reasons, shorter ones that have an odd number of items. So instead of trying to memorize ten vocabulary or spelling words, split your list into smaller lists of seven and three, or five and five, to help you remember them. 78
