Candidate B is the most likely candidate. He has good grades, is well-rounded, knows how to communicate, has traveled, is described as honest,and has learned by doing-he was assistant manager of the college bookstore. Last, he successfully managed school, work, extracurricular activities, and has volunteered in community services. Candidate C might be given the job. Using Sorenson's criteria, one finds Candidate C is as strong as Candidate B except for being caught cheating on an exam. If he learned from his mistake, he would be ideal. He is well-rounded, a good communicator (edited a magazine). fluent in three languages, has more educational background in business than Candidate B, and was described as a natural leader. However, employers are usually dissuaded
by any evidence of dishonesty, so Candidate B is he most likely candidate.

雅思英语阅读练习题及答案：第十二篇雅思英语阅读练习题及答案：第十二篇 ★Next Year Marks the EU's 50th Anniversary of the Treaty A. After a period of introversion and stunned self-disbelief, continental European governments will recover their enthusiasm for pan-European institution-building in 2007. Whether the European public will welcome a return to what voters in two countries had rejected so short a time before is another matter. B. There are several reasons for Europe’s recovering self-confidence. For years European economies had been lagging dismally behind America (to say nothing of Asia), but in 2006 the large continental economies had one of their best years for a decade, briefly outstripping America in terms of growth. Since politics often reacts to economic change with a lag, 2006’s improvement in economic growth will have its impact in 2007, though the recovery may be ebbing by then. C. The coming year also marks a particular point in a political cycle so regular that it almost seems to amount to a natural law. Every four or five years, European countries take a large stride towards further integration by signing a new treaty: the Maastricht treaty in 1992, the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997, the Treaty of Nice in 2001. And in 2005 they were supposed to ratify a European constitution, laying the ground for
（一）沙子和泥土 一粒沙子安逸地躺在大地上，骄傲地对泥土说：喂，你没有发现吗？我是一粒多么伟大的金子啊！ 你是一粒伟大的金子，这怎么可能呢？泥土说。 你没有听说过“沙里淘金”这句词语吗？那些闪光的金子，都是从我身上淘洗出来的。沙子自高自大地说道。 如果你不能淘洗掉自己身上那些贪图安逸、狂妄自大、只会空想的坏心理，你永远只是一粒黯然无光的沙子。泥土告诫道。 你为什么埋没我呢？沙子问泥土。 如果你能努力使自己成为一颗闪光的金子，谁又能埋没你呢？泥土对沙子说。 生为一粒小小的沙子，落入大地，谁又能发现我呢？沙子感叹道。 孩子，当你与大地融为一体时，你就是大地的一部分了。泥土说。 一堆沙子，被一阵大风吹得七零八落。 我们这些苦命的沙子，为什么总经不起“风吹雨打”呢？沙子叹息道。 为什么不试着寻求别人的帮助呢？当你与水泥联为一体时，就能成为坚不可摧的混凝土了。泥土说。 1. 中国有一句老话说“是金子总会发亮的，”找出短文中和它意思相近的一段话。 2.“沙里淘金”是一个成语，意思是 3.填写近义词 安逸（）埋没（）淘洗（）

雅思英语阅读练习题及答案：第一篇 内容摘要：The failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels. ★Why did a promising heart drug fail? Doomed drug highlights complications of meddling with cholesterol. 1. The failure of a high-profile cholesterol drug has thrown a spotlight on the complicated machinery that regulates cholesterol levels. But many researchers remain confident that drugs to boost levels of 'good' cholesterol are still one of the most promising means to combat spiralling heart disease. 2. Drug company Pfizer announced on 2 December that it was cancelling all clinical trials of torcetrapib, a drug designed to raise heart-protective high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). In a trial of 15000 patients, a safety board found that more people died or suffered cardiovascular problems after taking the drug plus a cholesterol-lowering statin than those in a control group who took the statin alone. 3. The news came as a kick in the teeth to many cardiologists because earlier tests in animals and people suggested it would lower rates of cardiovascular disease. "There have been no red flags to my knowledge," says John Chapman, a specialist in lipoproteins and atherosclerosis at the National Institute for Health and Medical Research (INSERM) in Paris who has also studied torcetrapib. "This cancellation came as a complete shock." 4. Torcetrapib is one of the most advanced of a new breed of drugs designed to raise levels of HDLs, which ferry cholesterol out of artery-clogging plaques to the liver for removal from the body. Specifically, torcetrapib blocks a protein called cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), which normally transfers the cholesterol from high-density lipoproteins to low density, plaque-promoting ones. Statins, in contrast, mainly work by lowering the 'bad' low-density lipoproteins. Under pressure 5. Researchers are now trying to work out why and how the drug backfired, something that will not become clear until the clinical details are released by Pfizer. One hint lies in evidence from earlier trials that it slightly raises blood pressure in some patients. It was thought that this mild problem would be offset by the heart benefits of the drug. But it is possible that it actually proved fatal in some patients who already suffered high blood pressure. If blood pressure is the explanation, it would actually be good news for drug developers because it suggests that the problems are specific to this compound. Other prototype drugs that are being developed to block CETP work in a slightly different way and might not suffer the same downfall. 6. But it is also possible that the whole idea of blocking CETP is flawed, says Moti Kashyap, who directs atherosclerosis research at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach, California. When HDLs excrete cholesterol in the liver, they actually rely on LDLs for part of this process. So inhibiting CETP, which prevents the transfer of cholesterol from HDL to LDL, might actually cause an abnormal and irreversible

和换药的方法，还留下一些药品。 后来，白求恩经过杨家庄时，又去看望猛子。猛子已经完全好了。猛子妈感动得热泪盈眶，不住嘴地说：?谢谢您！谢谢您！?白求恩却说：?不要感谢我，我是八路军的医生。你应该感谢八路军才对！? （1）给短文分段，在段首画△，写出段意。（3+6分） （2）白求恩为什么给孩子割掉瘤子？（2分） （3）为短文加上题目（2分） （4）续写：猛子妈在听了白求恩的话之后会说些什么？（3分） 2. ____________________ 鲜花朵朵，争妍斗艳，芬芳喜人。要是我们留心观察，各种花儿是什么时候开放的，就会发现，一天之内，不同的花开花的时间并不相同。凌晨三点钟左右，蛇床花开放了；接着，在4点钟，牵牛花开始吹起了浅紫色的小喇叭。 这是各种花儿的祖先在大自然中长期适应生活环境，生存繁殖逐步形成的结果。植物在什么时候开花，往往与外界的温度、湿度、光照有密切的关系。例如珍贵的昙花，它的花瓣又大又娇嫩。白天阳光太强，气温高，空气干燥，要是在这时开花，就有被灼伤的危险。在深夜，往往气温过低，对它的开花也不适宜。长期以来，它适应了晚上九点钟的气温和湿度，到了那时便欣欣然徐徐张开了浅雅的苞蕾，向人们展示美丽的笑脸…… 另外，开花的时间与花的传粉方式有关。例如牵牛花是虫媒花，需要昆虫传播花粉才能结出种子。正好清晨三、四点钟是蜜蜂采蜜的时候，那时温度、湿度也适宜，它开花了。 要是你把各种不同时间开放花朵的花儿排列在一起，只消看一看什么花开了，就大致知道是几点钟，那才有趣哩！ （1）解释（4分）
