Fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and natural gas, are burned to make electricity. Burning fossil fuels releases pollution and carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the air. The more fossil fuels we burn, the warmer the air around Earth gets. So building fossil fuel plans is not always the best answer.Actually, there are other ways to make electricity without burning fossil fuels. People havebeen using the power of wind for centuries. Wind power won’t solve all our energy problems, but it can help meet some of the demands in certain places. Since the late 1800s, scientists have been working to turn the sun’s energy into electricity by using solar cells (太阳能电池). The problem is, solar cells are very expensive. Another way to make electricity is to use nuclear energy. It has been used for more than 50 years. Today about 10 percent of all the electricity used in the U.S.A. comes from this source.Although nuc lear power doesn’t pollute the air as the burning of fossil fuels does, there is a major drawback . The waste products from nuclear power plants are dangerous and must be stored in safe places. Many people are concerned about the safety of nuclear power.51．The best title for this passage may be ________A．The Importance of ElectricityB．The Pollution of Making Electricity from Fossil FuelsC．The Advantage of Using Nuclear EnergyD．Means of Making Electrical Power52．Which energy has damage to us according to the passage?A．Wind power B．Fossil fuelsC．Solar power D．Water power53．We can infer from the passage that _________A．burning fossil fuels to make electricity is widely usedB．wind power is a widespread way to make electricityC．energy problems will soon be solvedD．nuclear energy will solve all the energy problems we are facing54．What does the underlined word “drawback”(in Para.3)mean?A．effect B．advantage C．disadvantage D．concern55．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Fossil fuels should be encouraged to use to make electricityB．Not all the areas could use wind power.C．Solar energy costs the mostD．Using nuclear energy will not produce negative effect.Task 3Directions: This task (No.56 to No.60) is the same as Task 1.A new study by the Development of Health in Taiwan shows that more than half of the adult population in Taiwan lacks an understanding of health problems.More than 2,000 adults took part in the survey to find out about their knowledge of diet, health-care, disease control and medicine. Surprisingly, only 51% of the people surveyed understand that common cold has no cure, and taking medicine is absolutely no use at all. The problem is mad worse by doctors who give their patients large doses of useless drugs. More than two-thirds believe that it is only the nicotine in cigarettes rather than the other chemicals that causes cancer. These people believe that if they smoke “light” cigarettes with less nicotine, they will lead to more illness, suffering and early death.But the outlook for health education in Taiwan is not all negative. The survey concludes that younger Taiwanese have a better understanding of health concerns than their parents, while senior citizens have the least understanding among the three age groups.56．The purpose of the survey is to find out _______A．why people neglect their healthB．what people know about healthC．when to provide health educationD．who is more likely to become ill57．Which of the following is TRUE about medicines for cold?A．They can cure common cold.B．Doctors often discourage the patients from taking them.C．About 51% of the patients take them.D．Some Taiwanese take them unnecessarily.58．According to the survey, most Taiwanese believe that ____.A．only nicotine leads to cancerB．few people will get cancerC．”light ”cigarettes make people healthyD．other chemicals besides nicotine cause cancer59．About ______ of Taiwanese adults smokeA．one-third B．two-thirdsC．a half D．a quarter60．The survey shows that ________ have the best understanding of health concerns. A．senior citizens B．middle–aged citizensC．younger Taiwanese D．Taiwanese smokersTask 4Directions: The following is a business letter.

However, I know I still have a lot to learn.The woman went from Guilin City to the east coast city of Qingdao to attend college. She was impressed by the latter’s dynamic economy. N ow shi is being interviewed for a job. She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. There she learned the importance of communication skills. She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her. Her former employer said her ability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreci ated the loyalty and team spirit. The interviewer finds her mature fo r her age and very goal-oriented. And she believes that she has acqui red many good qualities form her parents, but still has a lot to lear n.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestMurphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, t he two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the ma nager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how w ould one incorrect answer be better than the other”The manager’s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on , the America n put down ‘I don’t’ know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Keys: FTTTFTFor Reference1. He made his decision based on the wrong answers to the one question one missed, rather than on the correct answers.2. By writing “Neither do I”, it seems that Murphy copied the American answer on the test.Task3: A Guide to a Successful Job InterviewThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job i nterview. Don’t panic, they just want to see how you handle a diffic ult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are som e samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properl y.Why should we choose you To this question, you can ask yourself why y ou applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the compa ny can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would ha ndle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your an swer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are impo rtant, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you hav e to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness”, don’t say, “I don’t have an y.” Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven’t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I’m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths” You should cu stomize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind th e things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strength s, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To s how how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.16. What is the passage mainly concerned with17. What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why should we choose you”18. What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself19.

You cannot sell yourself to them if you don’t know what it is yo u are selling.The next thing to consider is your physical appearance. You have to d ress right for job interviews. Don’t wear anything too flashy; being neat and clean is more important than wearing the latest fashion. The aim is to look professional without overdoing it. Also, it is import ant that you feel comfortable. If you are not comfortable with a tie, it might be best not to wear one, unless the job requires you to dre ss this way. The last thing you want is to be worried about your appe arance during the interview. It will only make you nervous, and you w ill quickly lose confidence.Mover over, you have to work out what you need to take with you: A co py of your CV, originals and copies of your qualification paper, copies of reference, samples of your work, if applicable, and anything el se that they may want to see. Again, make sure everything is well org anized and neatly presented. Don’t take a pile of paperwork that you have to sift through for ten minutes to find something. That will giv e them the impression that you are disorganized. If you are well prepSAMPLEA: After listening to the career officer’s talk, I’ve now realizes the importance of getting prepared for an interview.B: Quite true. First of all, we should never be late for an interview.If you’re not punctual, they’ll suspect that you’ll be late fo r work in future.A: Before going to the interview, we had better pay attention to our dress. We must look professional without overdoing it. Careless cl othes will lead them into thinking that you’re likely to do your job carelessly.B: During the interview, it is important to look confident without be ing too pushy. It’s necessary to maintain eye contact. This shows your interest in the conversation, and helps to maintain the commu nication between you and the interviewer.A: Many employers attach importance to the education you’ve received.We need to highlight those courses especially valuable to the com pany.B: Book knowledge is not enough. We must show them we have practical experience in the field. Tell them about our internship, and empha size the skills that are useful in the job we’re seeking.A: How clever you are! These days many students want to tell the pros pective employer that they have a good command of English and have obtained a College English Test Band 4 Certificate.B: They’re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skill s with PowerPoint, office automation, and so on. Students from non -key universities especially need certificates to shoe they’ve ac quired those skills before they can hope to compete against studen ts from prestigious universities.A: Character is considered an important factor in contemporary societ y, where teamwork is a must.B: But too many students are saying more or less the same thing. If e verybody says, “I’m warm-hearted and cooperative, get along well with my classmates, and have good team spirit,” the boss will soo n get fed up.A: Perhaps we should let the work we’ve done shoe our character.B: Right on. Participation is important. If you can show them you’re an important official of the Student Union of the university or the department, or you’ve organized a singing competition and won an award, obviously you’re a good team player.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our Life16. Why does the speaker say the resume is important17. According to the passage, why should you emphasize the most important point about yourself19. How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write ifyou applied for three jobs5. Which of the following makes a good title for the passageKeys:Task 2: Two Essential Factors in an InterviewWhen applying for a job, especially a job you really want. It’s not usually to feel nervous and anxious. Sometimes it’s this anxiety, no t our qualifications, that keeps us from obtaining our dream job.So you must overcome your nervousness and build up confidence. This o ften involves two factors: one mental and the other physica l. Mentall y, it’s important to prepare yourself for the interview without obse ssing over it. Remember, it might be your dream job, but it won’t be the end of the world if you don’t get it. Tell yourself that the com pany would be lucky to get you; and if they choose someone else, it will be their loss. In essence, you need to build your self-confidence. Your ability to answer all questions without hesitation will certain ly impress the interviewer.Now that you are mentally ready for any question that might be thrown your way, it’s time to work on your physical presentation. No matte r what position you are applying for, your physical appearance at the interview will be a big factor in the final determination. It’s alw ays a good idea to wear a suit; it doesn’t have to be a designer sui t, but something plain and conservative. Do not dress too informally. For example, don’t wear a red fashionable jacket for your interview. Make sure, too, that it is clean and pressed. This may seem like com mon sense, but you’d be surprised how careless some applicants are. While it’s not necessary to visit the beauty salon before your inter view, make sure that your nail are well-manicured, and your hair is s tyled carefully and neatly.Task3: An Interview That Upsets the BossJohn was in a terrible accident at work and lost both of his ears. Si nce he was permanently disfigured, he settled with the company for a fairly large compensation and decided to invest the money in a small but growing telecom business. After weeks of negotiations, he bought the company. Then he realized that he knew nothing about running such a business and quickly set out to hire someone who could do that for him.So he set up three job interviewers. The first guy was great. He knew everything the company needed and was very interesting. At the end o f the interview, John asked him, ”Do you notice anything different a bout me” And the gentleman answered, “Why yes, I couldn’t help not ice you have no ears.” John got very upset and threw him out.The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than t he first guy. He asked her the same question, “Do you notice anythin g usually about me” and the she replied, “Well, you have no ears.”Again John got furious and tossed her out.The third and the last interview was the best of all three. It was wi th a very young man who was fresh out of college. He was smart and ha ndsome. And he seemed to be a better businessman than the firs two pu t together. John was anxious to employ him, but asked him the same qu estion, “Do you notice anything different about me”And to his surprise, the young man answered, “Yes, you wear contact lenses.”John was amazed, and said, “What an incredibly observant young man! How in the world did you know that”The young man laughed and replied, “Well, it’s pretty hard to wear glasses with no ears!”For Reference1. He lost both of his ears.2. Because he realized that he knew nothing about running the business after he bought it.3. Because the interviewee said he noticed that John had no ears, and John got upset.4. He said he noticed John wore contact lenses.5. He thought it was pretty difficult to wear glasses with no ears.News ReportA Galaxy of Film Prize WinnersThe European Film Awards—First Hollywood, then Cannes, and now Pairs The European Film Awards ceremony was held in Pairs in early December, honorin g the best in European and world films.Lars von Trier’s Dancer in the Dark was the overall winner of the ev ening, receiving awards for the best European film and best actress—Bjork..The audiences was disappointed, however, as neither von Trier, Bjork, nor the Oscar-winning Italian director Roberto Benigni showed up to accept awards.Still, other prize winners did come.
