AJob InterviewsYou have the education and the work experience; now all you need is the job. Most people spend more time getting ready for an evening out than they do preparing for a job interview. There are several things you can do to have a successful job interview. Here are some of them:1. Know about the company where you are trying to get a job. Find out what the company does and who their competitors are.2. Know yourself. Most interviewers will ask a question related to your strengths and weaknesses. Before the interview, examine the job you are applying for and determine the top skills needed for that position. For instance, if you are applying for a job as a telephone operator, it’s more important that you have strong communication skills than that you are tidy.3. Have proof. It’s easy to say you have good organization skills. But if you can tell the interviewer about a time you organized an event, it makes the claim much more solid.4. Prepare questions to ask about the company and the job.An interview is a stressful event. When you are under pressure, it can be difficult to think straight. Preparing before the interview will make it easier to give answers to those tough questions. But you can’t think of every question they might ask. So relax and be confident. Remember, first impressions are lasting.【小题1】This article is about ________.A. how to get a job interviewB. how to communicate at workC. how to prepare for a job interview.D. how to interview people【小题2】A good skill for a telephone operator to have is ________.A. the ability to smileB. tidinessC. good communication skillsD. proof of past experience【小题3】 You should prepare questions about _________ when interviewed for a job.A. the companyB. the salaryC. the interviewer’s strengthsD. the weather【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE?A. The job interview should be conducted over the telephone.B. The first time the interviewer sees you is important.C. You shouldn’t ask questions about the company.D. You shouldn’t give examples of things you have done in the past.【答案】【小题1】C【小题2】C【小题3】A【小题4】B【解析】BGretchen Alexander is sightless. But she refuses to allow her blindness to limit her life activities. She enjoys archery, golf, softball, sailing and water skiing, as well as a number of other activities that those of us who are sighted have yet to learn. She also speaks to groupsabout living life fully. When speaking to a group of high school students, she was once asked if there was anything she wouldn’t try. “I’ve decided to never sky dive,” she answered. “It wo uld scare the heck out of my dog.”Why do some people rise above their problems and live life fully, while others become defeated? Merle Shain explains it this way: “There are only two ways to approach life,” Shain says, “as a victim or as a gallant fighte r. And you must decide if you want to act or to react…"When discouraged, a victim reacts, perhaps in pain or self-pity. But a fighter will act.A fighter will make a decision to change that set of circumstances that left her or him discouraged. Or a fighter will decide to accept those circumstances with grace and move ahead anyway. A fighter will decide to act with courage. A fighter will take responsibility for his or her happiness. No matter how afraid, a fighter will refuse to give in to the most defeating of all human emotions-helplessness. A victim reacts. A fighter acts. It’s your decision. It’s a decision about whether you will live your life fully and with courage, or whether you will be forever defeated by harsh circumstances. Make it well, for it may be one of the most important decisions you ever make.Will you be a victim or a gallant fighter?【小题1】The best title for this article would be _______.A. Gretchen Alexander’s LifeB. Merle Shain’s Attitude to LifeC. Victims and FightersD. The Way of Life【小题2】What can we learn about Gretchen Alexander from this passage?A. She is more athletic than those of us who are sighted.B. She is discouraged when her dog is scared.C. There is no limitation to her life activities.D. She is a brave fighter.【小题3】The underlined word “it”（paragraph 3）is closest in meaning to _________.A. life.B. choice.C. courage.D. circumstance.【小题4】 The third paragraph mainly talks about ________.A. the difference between a victim and a fighter.B. the reactions of helplessness.C. decision-making.D. a fighters responsibility.【答案】【小题1】C【小题2】D【小题3】B【小题4】A【解析】COcean ParkIf you love the sea, Ocean Park is the place for you! Situated on the south side of Hong Kong Island, this 870,000 square metre educational theme park provides many opportunities to learn about marine life.To start with, the park boasts the Atoll Reef, one of the world’s largest aquariums, with about 2,500 fish from nearly 300 different species. What makes this aquarium special, however, is not just its size, but also its design. The Atoll Reef is built with an observation passageway that circles the aquarium on four different levels. This lets visitors view sea life from a variety of depths and angles.Then there’s the Shark Aquarium, a tank w ith more than 200 sharks from more than 30 species.Like the Atoll Reef, this unique aquarium is designed to make sure guests get the most out of their visit. Shaped like an underwater tunnel, guests can watch as sharks swim overhead and dive at them from every side.There’s also the Sea Jelly Spectacular, an aquarium that houses more than 1,000 jellyfish of all shapes, colours and sizes. And at the park’s Dolphin University, visitors can go on educational tours and watch the training of dolphins up close.The park’s most popular attraction is the Ocean Theatre, a huge outdoor pool where dolphins and sea lions entertain the visitors. Sometimes a killer whale even takes part in the performance!Although Ocean Parks focus is on the water, the theme park has plenty of other activities, too. For people seeking excitement, there are rides like the Abyss Turbo Drop, a roller coaster ride that takes passengers on a 20-storey drop straight down. There are also exhibits like the Dinosaur Discovery Trail and Bird Paradise. Finally, no trip to Ocean Park would be complete without visiting the park’s most popular animals--four giant pandas that were given as a gift from China’s central government.【小题1】Why is Hong Kong Ocean Park called an educational theme Park?A. It is specially designed to attract the young who are interested in the sea.B. It provides chances for people to broaden their knowledge of science.C. It offers chances for visitors to enlarge their knowledge of marine life.D. It has plenty of activities for people to have fun.【小题2】What makes the Atoll Reef so special?A. It is one of the symbols of Hong Kong Ocean Park.B. It has thousands of fish from various species.C. It is the largest aquarium in the world.D. It allows visitors to watch sea life from all angles.【小题3】Which of the following activities is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Interacting with sea life in the huge outdoor pool.B. Visiting exhibitions about dinosaurs and birds.C. Taking a roller coaster ride on a 20-storey drop.D. Enjoying the show of dolphins and sea lions.【答案】【小题1】C【小题2】D【小题3】A【解析】DSunday, 31 August We’ve been in China for a month now. Dad, Mom, Harry and I moved to Tianjin on 25 August. We’re not very far from Beijing. Two days ago, we celebrated my 16th birthday. It was great celebrating in China; the only thing that was strange was the cake--here they’re not as sweet as the ones in New York. On Monday school starts—I wonder what it will be like.Monday, 1 September On my first day I was looking around for a locker to put my books in. However, here all the students keep all of their books at their desks--we stay in the same classroom because apparently we don’t have to go from class to class--teachers come to us!Today we selected teacher assistants for each subject. Their duties are to collect homework, make announcements, and do other stuff for the teacher and the students. It’s kind of a big deal here! Since I am from the US, I was asked to be the English assistant. I felt so proud but quite nervous at the same time because I wasn’t sure what I had to do, but I accepted the jobanyway.Friday, 3 October Boy, what a week! Now we have nine classes every day, including the morning class, a combination of our American schools’ “Homeroom” and “Study Hall”. I think Chinese students work too much! I have to do my homework when I get back home. I don’t even have time to watch TV or surf the Interne t like before. I sometimes miss New York and my school because we didn’t have to study so much. We had more time to hang out with our classmates and neighbors; here, besides their usual classes, students are involved in weekend classes in subjects such as English, Chinese and math.I get a lot of attention, being from another country. Everyone wants to practice English with me! A really cute girl even asked me for my phone number on my second day and sent me a text message! I’m making a lot more friends now. I just need a lot of help to improve my Chinese. Some students want to do a language exchange program with me. Nice!【小题1】 The passage mentions all the following points EXCEPT ________.A. physics study.B. food flavour.C. free time activities.D. language exchange program.【小题2】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the teacher assistant’s duty?A. Collecting homework.B. Making announcements.C. helping teachers with small errands（差事）D. Teaching classmates.【小题3】Where is this passage most probably from?A. A story book.B. A guide book.C. A diary.D. A magazine.【小题4】The passage is best described by ________.A. culture shock.B. multi-culture.C. unique culture.D. culture background. 【答案】【小题1】A【小题2】D【小题3】C【小题4】A【解析】试题分析：这篇文章是到中国学习的美国学生的日常生活的日记，日记记录了作者的学习生活，也有作者经历的文化冲击。

Some people jump the queue when they are waiting for the bus. Others spit, throw out the trash everywhere or speak loudly in public places. These uncivilized phenomena make the people around uncomfortable and seriously affect China’s image.People should realize the value of civilized behaviors and the shame of uncivilized behaviors. Those with uncivilized behaviors should be punished or be to blame because they get others into trouble. Every one should improve their quality and do their best to build a harmonious society.听力材料原稿(Text 1)W: I don’t think we’ve met. My name’s Jessica.M: Pleased to meet you. I’m Anderson.

Do you know the developer?M: I don’t know much about the developer but I am sure this is the cheapest building here.(Text 10)If you want to get along well in the United States, the following “dos” and “don’ts” are helpful. As a rule, it isn’t easy to find anyone to talk to in a big city. However, here are some suggestions. First, get or borrow a dog. Walk with it several times a day. Americans love dogs and usually stop to talk to anyone with a dog. Then, try to eat in a public dining hall. People generally share the same tables and will sometimes talk to you if they see that you are a stranger. Next, take your dirty clothes to a public washing shop. It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people wait there. They often pass the time talking to other customers. Always ask for information from a woman, if you are a man. And from a man, if you are a woman. It seems to get better results for a reason I can’t understand. Learn the expressions “Please”, “Thank you”, “You are welcome” before you come and use them all the time! There are some things you shouldn’t do. Don’t be late for an appointment! When someone says 6 o’clock, be sure to be there by six —Americans respect time and expect everyone to be “on time”.参考答案: 1-5 ABBCA 6-10 ABACB 11-15 ACABC 16-20 CBACB1、评分原则（1）本题总分为25分，按5个档次给分。

【题文】AFor most people, graduation is an exciting day –the culmination (顶点) of years of hard work. My graduation day... was not.I remember that weekend two years ago, family and friends had traveled far to watch our class walk across the stage. But like everyone else in my graduating class, I had watched the economy go from bad to worse during my senior year. We graduates had degrees, but very limited prospects (前景). I hadn’t secured a job, and I knew that the next day, when my lease (租约) ended, I would no longer have a place to call home.The weeks ahead weren’t easy. I gathered up everything Icouldn’t carry and put it into storage. Then, because I had no opportunities in my small university town, I packed up my car and drove to California to find work.

After that, things were in place. I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after.Often our dreams lie in waiting just a little further upstream, and all we need is the courage to push beyond the river.21.When it was time to graduate, the author felt _____.A．Bored B．Relieved C．depressed D．hopeful22.After the author’s graduation, _____.A．he went on a short trip with his family to CaliforniaB．things turned even worse than he had expectedC．he focused on writing instead of applying for jobsD．he found his salary was hardly enough to pay back his student loans23.When did the author’s career life begin to run smoothly according to the article?

I was so glad that I had made time to get together with him regularly before this illness. We had always got along well, but with four children to raise, he had always had to work hard to support such a large family, and I was always busy too. There wasn’t much time to get together very often. However, as his eldest son, I’d felt I should spend more time with him, so one day, I called him to ask if he could have lunch with me once a month. He agreed and from his voice I could hear that he was very happy with the idea. At first it seemed that we didn’t have much in common to talk about, but as time went by, we found that we had lots to talk about. He told me about his experiences as a young man and how he had struggled to earn money to raise his family. Those monthly lunches were unforgettable times for both of us. What about you? Are you too busy to keep in touch with your father? If so, please stop for a moment now and find time to spend with your father. You will be glad that you did.。

许昌新乡平顶山三市2014届高三第二次调研考试英语第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AJob InterviewsYou have the education and the work experience; now all you need is the job. Most people spend more time getting ready for an evening out than they do preparing for a job interview. There are several things you can do to have a successful job interview. Here are some of them:1. Know about the company where you are trying to get a job. Find out what the company does and who their competitors are.2. Know yourself. Most interviewers will ask a question related to your strengths and weaknesses. Before the interview, examine the job you are applying for and determine the top skills needed for that position. For instance, if you are applying for a job as a telephone operator, it’s more important that you have strong communication skills than that you are tidy.3. Have proof. It’s easy to say you have good organization skills. But if you can tell the interviewer about a time you organized an event, it makes the claim much more solid.4. Prepare questions to ask about the company and the job.An interview is a stressful event. When you are under pressure, it can be difficult to think straight. Preparing before the interview will make it easier to give answers to those tough questions. But you can’t think of every question they might ask. So relax and be confident. Remember, first impressions are lasting.【小题1】This article is about ________.A. how to get a job interviewB. how to communicate at workC. how to prepare for a job interview.D. how to interview people【小题2】A good skill for a telephone operator to have is ________.A. the ability to smileB. tidinessC. good communication skillsD. proof of past experience【小题3】 You should prepare questions about _________ when interviewed for a job.A. the companyB. the salaryC. the interviewer’s strengthsD. the weather【小题4】Which of the following is TRUE?A. The job interview should be conducted over the telephone.B. The first time the interviewer sees you is important.C. You shouldn’t ask questions about the company.D. You shouldn’t give examples of things you have done in the past.【答案】【小题1】C【小题2】C【小题3】A【小题4】B【解析】BGretchen Alexander is sightless. But she refuses to allow her blindness to limit her life activities. She enjoys archery, golf, softball, sailing and water skiing, as well as a number of other activities that those of us who are sighted have yet to learn. She also speaks to groupsabout living life fully. When speaking to a group of high school students, she was once asked if there was anything she wouldn’t try. “I’ve decided to never sky dive,” she answered. “It wo uld scare the heck out of my dog.”Why do some people rise above their problems and live life fully, while others become defeated? Merle Shain explains it this way: “There are only two ways to approach life,” Shain says, “as a victim or as a gallant fighte r. And you must decide if you want to act or to react…"When discouraged, a victim reacts, perhaps in pain or self-pity. But a fighter will act.A fighter will make a decision to change that set of circumstances that left her or him discouraged. Or a fighter will decide to accept those circumstances with grace and move ahead anyway. A fighter will decide to act with courage. A fighter will take responsibility for his or her happiness. No matter how afraid, a fighter will refuse to give in to the most defeating of all human emotions-helplessness. A victim reacts. A fighter acts. It’s your decision. It’s a decision about whether you will live your life fully and with courage, or whether you will be forever defeated by harsh circumstances. Make it well, for it may be one of the most important decisions you ever make.Will you be a victim or a gallant fighter?【小题1】The best title for this article would be _______.A. Gretchen Alexander’s LifeB. Merle Shain’s Attitude to LifeC. Victims and FightersD. The Way of Life【小题2】What can we learn about Gretchen Alexander from this passage?A. She is more athletic than those of us who are sighted.B. She is discouraged when her dog is scared.C. There is no limitation to her life activities.D. She is a brave fighter.【小题3】The underlined word “it”（paragraph 3）is closest in meaning to _________.A. life.B. choice.C. courage.D. circumstance.【小题4】 The third paragraph mainly talks about ________.A. the difference between a victim and a fighter.B. the reactions of helplessness.C. decision-making.D. a fighters responsibility.【答案】【小题1】C【小题2】D【小题3】B【小题4】A【解析】COcean ParkIf you love the sea, Ocean Park is the place for you! Situated on the south side of Hong Kong Island, this 870,000 square metre educational theme park provides many opportunities to learn about marine life.To start with, the park boasts the Atoll Reef, one of the world’s largest aquariums, with about 2,500 fish from nearly 300 different species. What makes this aquarium special, however, is not just its size, but also its design. The Atoll Reef is built with an observation passageway that circles the aquarium on four different levels. This lets visitors view sea life from a variety of depths and angles.Then there’s the Shark Aquarium, a tank w ith more than 200 sharks from more than 30 species. Like the Atoll Reef, this unique aquarium is designed to make sure guests get the most out oftheir visit. Shaped like an underwater tunnel, guests can watch as sharks swim overhead and dive at them from every side.There’s also the Sea Jelly Spectacular, an aquarium that houses more than 1,000 jellyfish of all shapes, colours and sizes. And at the park’s Dolphin University, visitors can go on educational tours and watch the training of dolphins up close.The park’s most popular attraction is the Ocean Theatre, a huge outdoor pool where dolphins and sea lions entertain the visitors. Sometimes a killer whale even takes part in the performance!Although Ocean Parks focus is on the water, the theme park has plenty of other activities, too. For people seeking excitement, there are rides like the Abyss Turbo Drop, a roller coaster ride that takes passengers on a 20-storey drop straight down. There are also exhibits like the Dinosaur Discovery Trail and Bird Paradise. Finally, no trip to Ocean Park would be complete without visiting the park’s most popular animals--four giant pandas that were given as a gift from China’s central government.【小题1】Why is Hong Kong Ocean Park called an educational theme Park?A. It is specially designed to attract the young who are interested in the sea.B. It provides chances for people to broaden their knowledge of science.C. It offers chances for visitors to enlarge their knowledge of marine life.D. It has plenty of activities for people to have fun.【小题2】What makes the Atoll Reef so special?A. It is one of the symbols of Hong Kong Ocean Park.B. It has thousands of fish from various species.C. It is the largest aquarium in the world.D. It allows visitors to watch sea life from all angles.【小题3】Which of the following activities is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Interacting with sea life in the huge outdoor pool.B. Visiting exhibitions about dinosaurs and birds.C. Taking a roller coaster ride on a 20-storey drop.D. Enjoying the show of dolphins and sea lions.【答案】【小题1】C【小题2】D【小题3】A【解析】DSunday, 31 August We’ve been in China for a month now. Dad, Mom, Harry and I moved to Tianjin on 25 August. We’re not very far from Beijing. Two days ago, we celebrated my 16th birthday. It was great celebrating in China; the only thing that was strange was the cake--here they’re not as sweet as the ones in New York. On Monday school starts—I wonder what it will be like.Monday, 1 September On my first day I was looking around for a locker to put my books in. However, here all the students keep all of their books at their desks--we stay in the same classroom because apparently we don’t have to go from class to class--teachers come to us!Today we selected teacher assistants for each subject. Their duties are to collect homework, make announcements, and do other stuff for the teacher and the students. It’s kind of a big deal here! Since I am from the US, I was asked to be the English assistant. I felt so proud but quite nervous at the same time because I wasn’t sure what I had to do, but I accepted the job anyway.Friday, 3 October Boy, what a week! Now we have nine classes every day, including the morning class, a combination of our American schools’ “Homeroom” and “Study Hall”. I think Chinese students work too much! I have to do my homework when I get back home. I don’t even have time to watch TV or surf the Interne t like before. I sometimes miss New York and my school because we didn’t have to study so much. We had more time to hang out with our classmates and neighbors; here, besides their usual classes, students are involved in weekend classes in subjects such as English, Chinese and math.I get a lot of attention, being from another country. Everyone wants to practice English with me! A really cute girl even asked me for my phone number on my second day and sent me a text message! I’m making a lot more friends now. I just need a lot of help to improve my Chinese. Some students want to do a language exchange program with me. Nice!【小题1】 The passage mentions all the following points EXCEPT ________.A. physics study.B. food flavour.C. free time activities.D. language exchange program.【小题2】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the teacher assistant’s duty?A.
