2、Thepassagemainlydealswithhowforeignteachersshouldtrytogetmorepaidwhen

theyintendtoworkforaschool.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：C

知识点解析：综合判断题。根据“短文大意”，本文作者主要讲述的是如何通过谈判

和签订合同来最大限度地维护自己的合法收入，其主题不是“有意应聘时，外籍教

师如何争取增加工资”这一内容。

3、Now,theforeignteachergelsnolessthan5,500yuanpermonthfora12hourwork

weekplusalltheotherbenefitsbecausetheauthorityhasrealizedthatthefirstofferwas

toolow.

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：B

知识点解析：综合理解题。在本文的第一段中提到：4€Now,Igetnolessthan5,500

Yuanpermonthfora12hourworkweekplusalltheotherbenefits"o从后面的讲述可

以看出：这一结果的到来，不是由于当局的“觉醒”,而是后面谈到的：为了取得自

己的合法收入，这位外籍教师作了一系列深入、细致和有效的工作。

4、TheexperienceoftheforeignteacherinChengduremindsusofaChinesesaying"a

fallintothepit,againinyourwit".

A、Y

B、N

C>NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：分析判断题。本文作者并不是一开始就知道“签订合同，讨价还价''等

等这些谋生的道理。但是在经历了种种挫折以后，他逐渐聪明和成熟起来：他学会

了谈判，学会了讲价钱，学会了签订合同，为自己争取到了应得的合理合法的可观

收入。这难道不是“吃一堑，长一智”吗？

5、Oneofthesecretsoftheforeigner'ssuccesscanbedescribedas"DoinRomeas

Romansdo".

A、Y

B、N

C、NG

标准答案：A

知识点解析：分析判断题。本文作者成功的诀窍之一就是“入乡随俗”。在本文的第

.五段中提至“butoncethingsarcdoneproperlyintheChinesewayitisrathersimpler

thanitseems"。这里说到的“intheChineseway”就是这一段前面几句说到的“找熟

人、找关系看来这位老外“入乡随俗''的工夫真是练到家了。

6、Themainmeasuretheforeignteachertakestogetpaidis.

标准答案:bargaining/negotiating

知识点解析：本文从头至尾的字里行间里都谈到这位外籍教师如何“讨价还价其

中最为集中的讲述在第四段里。其中说到：“Iwasdoingthisfor125yuanperhour

whenIfoundoutthathereinChengdu.175yuanperhouristhenorm.Startat200and

letthembargainyoudownto175"o在这里，本文作者介绍了他讨价还价的技巧。

7、Besideshisbasicsalaryofabout5500yuan,theforeignteacheralsogets.

标准答案：someotherbenefits

知识点解析：在本文的第一段中提到：“Now,Igelnolessthan5,500yuanper

monthfora12hourworkweekplusalltileotherbenefits"。这说明；除了5500元的基

本工资以外，这位外籍数师还有别的补贴。

8、Theforeignteacherplanstoaddtohisnewcontractthatheshouldget.

标准答案：paidvacationsforforeignholidays

知识点解析：在本文的第七段中提到：“therearcstillsomethingsIfeellikeIshould

haveadded—likegettingpaidvacationsforforeignholidays(paidleaveforChristmas

andThanksgivingforexample)—butwillhavetoremembertoaddthoselaterinthenext

contracts这就说明：这位老外打算在新合同中添加外国重要节假II不上班也拿工

资的条款。

9、Whytheforeignteachersucceededingettingpaidwasduetothesituationinwhich

thenumberofforeignteachersofsomanydesperateschools.

标准答案：couldnotsatisfytheneed

知识点解析：在本文的第九段中提到：“Thisisveryeasybe-causetherereallyaren't

enoughteacherstogoaround...oncethesemesterstartsandtheyhavenoforeignteachers

theyareFARmoreflexiblewiththeircontracts"。这说明：外籍教师“供不应求”，满

足不了这么多学校的要求。

10、Inparagraph10thephrase"fillin"isclosestinmeaningto"

标准答案：act(work)asatemporarysubstitute

知识点解析：在本文的第十段中提到：“Ifyouleave,makesureyouleavepolitely

explainingitisjustinyourbestinterest,butthatyou'dbewillingtofillinuntiltheycan

findanotherteacher"。句中"untiltheycanfindanotherteacher”说明：在找到新老师

以前，你得“暂时补缺”。

11、Throughreadingthisarticle,wecanconcludethattheauthorisa(n)person.

标准答案：thoughtfular.dwarm-hearted

知识点解析：通读全文以后，我们可以清楚地看到：作者写这篇文章的目的是向有

相同志向的外籍教师提供一些应聘时谈判和签订合同的常识和技巧，并提出一些具

体的和切实可行的建议。这就说明：他是一个关心他人和热心快肠的人。

observeO.tookH.held

标准答案：H

知识点解析:本文的第一段中提到：“Manykindsofentertainmentanddecelerations

wereheld",其意思是：那里常常举行各种娱乐表演和庆典。“beheld”（举行）是一个

常用的被动形式的短语，其中的“held”足动词的过云分词形式。

49、

标准答案：J

知识点解析：本文的第一段中提到：“Besidesiheusualacliviliesofgong

beating,dancingandwinesipping,theyalsoincludeddomesticanimalsinthefiin'o

其意思是：除了通常的敲锣、跳舞和品酒等活动以外，他们还有动物趣味表演。也

就是说：他们把动物表演也“包括进来''一"included"。注意：为厂和上下文的时态

（过去式）保持一致，这里也用了动词过去式。

50、

标准答案：O

知识点解析：“takegreatpleasureindoingsomediing”是一个常用短语。在填入动词

“take”时，使用了它的过去式一“took”：这是上下文时态一致的需要。

51、

标准答案：A

知识点解析：“besupposedtodosomething”也是一个常用短语，表示“认为应该（认

为必须/认为必要）做某事”。

52、

标准答案：M

知识点解析：本文的第三段中提到：“agreatstonn,whichlastedseveraldaysswept

overthevillage,causingheavydamagetonature,\意思是：一场持续「几天的暴风

雨横扫了他们的村庄，对大自然造成了严重的损坏。这里选用了动词现在分词形式

（causing）,“causing”在句子中起伴随状语的作用。

53、

标准答案：C

知识点解析：从本文第二段的内容得知：这群人对于外面的大风大雨，至不在乎，仍

在忘乎所以地大吃大喝。其原因是；他们自认为在房子里面“很安全”一"secure”。

这一选择是由上下文的意思决定的。

54、

标准答案：N

知识点解析：“It…(not)take(s)10ng…”是一个常用的英语句型，表示：“做某事需要

花费多长时间这里用了动词原型“take”，是因为它的前面已经有了助动词

“didn't"的缘故。

55、

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第四段中有这么一句话：因为他们冒犯了神，他们就没有办法逃避惩

罚。介词"without”应该和名词或动名词连用。要表达句中的意思，这里只能用

"withoutpunishment"或"withoutbeingpunished",而不能用"withoutpunishing"0

56、

标准答案：G

知识点解析：第五段中的第一句话说：到今天，村民们认为神制造了暴风雨，作为

对那些不遵守习俗、不尊重动物的人的一种惩罚。根据原文内容，这里应该用上

“obese”表示“遵守”的意思。

57、

标准答案：I

知识点解析：第五段中的第一句话说：有时村民们诱捕池子里的那些鳄鱼，有的用

来充饥，有的用来在当地市场上出售。村民卖东西当然要到市场(market)去。
