Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the pro

15、per form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.(A)One of the most important skills in reading is the knowledge of words. Since Vocabulary Building and Word Study, another book in this series, (25) _ (devote) to vocabulary development, we are not going to deal

16、 with this skill directly, but you should be aware of the basic fact (26) _ the number of words you know determines the difficulty and complexity of the material you can read and understand. (27) _ you have an extremely limited reading vocabulary, you will be able to read only very simple material.

17、For example, children just beginning to read in first grade must use books that only have a few dozen words in them. As they progress through school their reading vocabulary keeps increasing (28) _ they are adults. Adults typically have reading vocabularies of over 50,000 words. Failure (29) _(devel

18、op) an extensive reading vocabulary will definitely hold you back in your efforts to improve comprehension. Most people learn new words by encountering them in reading or conversation, (30) _ the meaning is usually clear from the context. A few words are learned by looking them up in the dictionary.

19、 If you feel that vocabulary is a problem for you, you may wish to do something systematic about it. There are many good books (31) _ to help develop vocabulary, including the one in this series. (32) _(begin) with any of them will help your vocabulary. (B)Conversation is an important part of life t

20、o everyone. However some people are afraid of starting a casual conversation with a stranger (33) _ _ a fear of not having anything interesting to say. Fear of rejection is also a reason for keeping silent. Small talk in a conversation can serve as a way of warming up and getting to know each other.

21、 Most people, (34) _ _ _ successful they are at work, will find the process of making small talk uncomfortable, even pointless. However, you (35) _ (have) a pretty small world if you refuse to let others in. Starting off with (36) _ usual comment or question will make others comfortable, and even ju

22、st greeting them with a simple “hello” will often be enough.Once you have made the first move, there is no turning back. You need to keep things going before you can gracefully say goodbye. Think about what you would like to share with a new friend and that is (37) _ you can ask the other person abo

23、ut. Work, family, hobbies or interests are some general points of discussion. (38) _ (keep) the ball rolling, you can show that you are really interested in what they are saying. Once you find common points of interest, things will definitely take off from there.Small talk (39) _ turn out to be a pl

24、easant experience. The conversation should be brief and casual without turning into a long and boring discussion. Do not let yourself control the conversation. Let (40) _ talk too. Stop worrying about how big of a fool you may appear to be. You may even find out later on that you have the “talent” o

25、f getting people to open up to you by engaging them in small talk.Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.

26、. involvedH. relatedI. thoughtJ. presentationK. positionJob seekers should know the rules of labor market before they try to find a proper job. Most career organizations 41 three stages for graduates to follow the process of securing a suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to availa

27、ble jobs and presenting them well to possible employers. Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their abilities. One area of assessment should be of their 42 qualifications, which include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own values and attitude

28、s. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful 43 . The second stage is to study the opportunities which are available for employment. To do this, graduates can study job and 44 information in

29、 newspapers, or they can pay a visit to a careers office, write to friends or relatives who may already be 45 in a particular profession. After studying all the various 46 , they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers. Good personal 47 is essential in the search

30、 for a good career. Job application forms should be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar of spelling errors. They should also prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer. When 48 information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work

31、 experience in more depth, as well as 49 their own abilities with the employers needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the 50 company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities. Interviewees should try to give positive answers and not be af

32、raid of asking questions about anything they are unsure about.III. Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.People read for different

33、purposes. Sometimes people read for information while on other occasions, for understanding. Therefore, we can know that the word “reading” has two 51 senses.The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, and so on. We can get access to the content of those materials 52 . Such ma

34、terials may increase our 53 of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we dont have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding is 54 to them before we start. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement. The second sense is the one in wh

35、ich we read something that at first we do not completely 55 . Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the readers understanding. Such 56 between unequals people who know and people who dont know must be

36、 made possible. Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning” means understanding more, not 57 more information.What are the 58 in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. The writer must be “ 59 ” to the reader in understanding. Besides, his book mus

37、t convey something he possesses while his potential readers 60 . Second, the reader must be able to 61 this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the 62 is approached, success of communication is achieved.Besides gaining info

38、rmation and understanding, theres another goal of reading: 63 . It is the least 64 and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. 65 , any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment

39、 as well.51.A. meaningfulB. broadC. separateD. informative52.A. easilyB. whollyC. brieflyD. highly 53.A. analysisB. comprehensionC. appreciationD. store54.A. equal B. contraryC. inferiorD. devoted 55.A. agreeB. understandC. approveD. enjoy56.A. contact B. relationshipC. methodD. communication57.A. s

41、ntertainmentD. culture64.A. enjoyable B. reasonableC. flexible D. demanding65.A. In factB. On the contraryC. In additionD. On the other handSection BDirections: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choice

42、s marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Dennis Sinar, 51, a doctor from New York, is quick to explain why he took a year-long break from his job. “I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years. I n

43、eeded a recharge.” So he took a “gap year”, from July 2011 to June 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings, antique restoration, archaeology and traditional Eastern medicine, in locations including Alaska, Nepal and Romania.“Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a

44、 new career or refresh an old one,” said Holly Bull, president of Princeton, N, J. “In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also described the potential American market for gap years a

45、s a “sleeping giant.”“A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of a comfort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” said Dr. Sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience. His time studying Eastern medicine “assured the reasons I went into health care,” said Dr. Si

46、nar, who returned to practice medicine at his old job, although he works fewer days. “I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “And I listen better than I did before.”George Garritan, chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Management at New York U

47、niversity, certainly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies. For employees, investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have gi

48、ven more thought to their career. For companies, offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.66.Dr. Sinar took a gap year because he _.A. had lost his old jobB. wanted to refresh after 26 years workC. had a desire for travellingD. became interested in histor

49、ical research67. The phrase “sleeping giant” (in 2nd paragraph) indicates that _.

60、wer for everyone. A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said. “Weve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course theres a lot of

61、 truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you dont graduate, that is a very bad situation.”One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and adv

62、ancing in a career. Aprils national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadnt attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelors degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists cautions that a college degree is
