二、2.Cloze

1.The purpose of an application letter is to help you to " sell" yourself. You should【31】the job you want clearly, and should tell what your abilities are and【32】you have done. It should be simple, personal and brief without leaving【33】any necessary facts.
  A【34】employer may want to know a number of important things. What are your qualifications? What achievements have you【35】? And what are your aims? The【36】paragraph is perhaps the most important part. Try【37】your opening sentences to the needs or interests of the employer, not to your own needs or desires.
  【38】clear about the kind of job for which your"re now applying. College graduates【39】for their first positions often ask "What can I provide in a letter? " Employers want to know about your experience. Certainly, a beginner has【40】experience. The answer is that everything you【41】is experience.
  【42】is important to write good strong closing words for your letter. Ask for an interview or give the possible employer something【43】to do or expect. An excellent idea is to enclose an envelope【44】your address and a stamp. That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in【45】with you.

三、3.

1.A dolphin(海豚) looks more like a fish than certain fishes do. It is an excellent swimmer. The dolphin seems to flash through the water. Like fish, dolphins are completely at home in the water. There they play, feed, sleep, and give birth to their young. Dolphins live in the sea and can live only in the sea.
  Yet they are not fish. A dolphin must come to the surface to breathe. Fish can take oxygen from the water.
  Dolphins cannot. Like us, they breathe with lungs and must take their oxygen from the air. And they are mammals (哺乳動(dòng)物).
  Most mammals are land animals. Dolphins are evolved (進(jìn)化) from land animals. Long ago, dolphin ancestors (祖先) left the land for the sea. Among the animals was a kind that would become the dolphin we know. No one is sure exactly what kind of animal it was. But there is reason to think it was related to grass-eating animals like the cow. Modern dolphins are fish-eaters. Yet their stomachs are like those of animals that eat plants. The make-up of their blood is also like that of grass-eating animals.

The best title for this passage is______.

A．Dolphins
B．Fish
C．Mammals
D．Cows

2.
What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A．A dolphin is a special kind of fish.
B．Dolphins can"t swim very quickly.
C．Dolphins can live only in the sea.
D．Dolphins produce their babies on land.

3.
Different from fish, dolphins______.

A．live on land
B．breathe with lungs
C．breathe under water
D．live without oxygen

4.
Dolphins are evolved from______.

A．fish-eating mammals
B．sea animals
C．grass-eating fish
D．land animals

5.
What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Dolphins have highly evolved.
B．Mammals don"t eat plants at all.
C．All fishes developed from land animals.
D．Dolphins were once closely related to humans.

7.Many students who participated in the2010 civil service exams (公務(wù)員考試) in China saw them as the "most difficult" , due to their emphasis on general knowledge.
  This year, the Chinese central government offices have opened 15, 000 posts but it"s not large enough to find a home for the one million people applying. According to a 2009 Washington Post report, US students are also giving government jobs a hard look. "The Partnership for Public Service" poll (民意調(diào)查) found that about 90% of US students are interested in federal (聯(lián)邦政府的) jobs. Nearly 84% gave the security offered by federal jobs as a reason.
  The same goes for students in the UK. A 2008 Daily Mail report found that applications from college graduates for government civil service jobs have surged 33% over 2007.
  Besides providing financial security, civil service jobs usually offer other benefits, especially in Asia. In India, for example, the average annual income is about $720, but for a civil servant, it"s $8, 116—more than 10 times higher. Plus, civil servants get a one-month paid holiday every year, 20 days of medical leave and 20-day half-paid vacation.

The2010 civil service exams in China were thought the "most difficult" because______.

A．most of the students hadn"t prepared well

A．a(chǎn)s much as 8, 116 dollars

13.With the average number of children in a British family falling beneath 2.0, the population of the UK has been falling for quite a few years. The size of the British workforce (勞動(dòng)力) is becoming smaller and the average age of the workforce is rising. This trend is quite worrying for the British economy.
  Why aren"t the British having as many children as they used to? Well, there is a whole range of reasons. One of them is that British people are now having their children at a much older age than before, meaning they have fewer vears in which they can have children. Most young people today want a well-paid job, meaning they usually have to go to university. After years of study at university, they then need a few years of work experience before they can get the job they want. They might then get married, but it"s very expensive to buy a house in the UK.
  The above also explains why British young people now don"t move out of their parents" home until they are around 30 years old on average. It is not until they are 30 that they can afford to get married and start a new life in a new home. It"s only after this age that many young people start thinking about having a child.

Paragraph 1 tells us that______.

A．the size of the workforce is becoming larger
B．the population of the UK has been on the rise
C．the workers of the UK are much younger than before
D．the average number of children in a British family is falling

14.
Why do the British now have fewer children than before?

A．They have a well-paid job.
B．They don"t want to have children.
C．They have their children at a much older age.
D．They have no time to look after their children.

15.
If British young people want to get the job they want, they______.

A．should have at least two children
B．have to be more than 30 years old
C．should have been married for years
D．need a few years of work experience

16.
Why do British young people live with their parents till around 30?

A．They can"t afford to buy a house.
B．They haven"t got their children yet.
C．They have to look after their parents.
