2. 需要花时间去选择职业。

3. 选择职业时可议和帮助。

【写作思路】本文是一篇关于择业的议论文。

短文需要说明慎重择业相当重要，并提出多种指导择业的方法。

Choosing an OccupationOne of the most important problems a young person faces is deciding what to do. There are some people, of course, who from the time are six years old “know” that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters, but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem.Choosing an occupation takes time, and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do. You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work, or you may find out that you will need to get actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job.Fortunately, there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision. At most schools, there are teachers who are professionally qualified to give you detailed information about job qualifications. And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.2015年英语四级考试仿真模拟试卷（卷一）速读【快速阅读】Part IIReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Directions:In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. EarthquakeCan Scientists Predict Killer Earthquakes?The date was November 23, 1980. People near Naples, in southern Italy, felt the Earth roll and shake. Earthquake! Suddenly buildings came tumbling down. Cracks appeared in the earth. Within minutes, entire towns were destroyed. Thousands of people were dead. Thousands more were injured.As rescuers searched through the rubble, many people must have wondered, of only the victims had known ahead of time, many lives could have been saved.Actually, an Italian scientist did predict that such a quake would happen. In 1977 Dr. M. Caputo of the University Degiles Studi in Rome warned that a large quake would soon strike the east of Naples. Unfortunately, he couldn’t predict the exact time and date of the quake.Dr. Caputo made his general prediction after talking with scientists at 54 earthquake monitoring stations throughout Italy. He learned that many earthquakes had recently rocked different areas around Naples. But none had occurred in one particular spot east of Naples for many years. Dr. Caputo felt that the area was long overdue for a large quake. And it was.Earthquake Strikes in GapThe quake occurred in a region that Dr. Caputo called a seismic gap. A seismic gap is an area in an active earthquake region where no earthquake or seismic activity has been recorded in a long time. Seismic gaps are located where two large plates in the Earth have become stuck.When the plates slide past each other, they sometimes became locked in place. A similar thing happens when you make a running leap on a sidewalk while wearing sneakers. When you land on both feet, the sneakers grab onto rough surface. Friction tends to hold your feet back while the rest of your body goes forward. You may end up falling flat on your face.In the case of plates, however, the uneven surfaces between the plates cause the plates to remain locked in place for years. Huge pressure builds up behind each plate. Periodically, a shudder, or tremor, is recorded as some of this energy is released.Finally, after about 50 years, rock in the seismic gap breaks or moves under the great stress. This sudden release of energy sends shock waves through the rock layers above. The ground shakes, sidewalks crack, and buildings tumble. A mighty quake has struck.Gaps Used To Predict QuakesMany geologists have used what is called the seismic gap technique to accurately predict earthquakes. The technique was first developed by Soviet earthquake expert Dr. V. Fodotov during his studies of ancient and recent Japanese earthquakes. Dr. Fodotov was marking the location, size, and date of all known quakes in Japan when he noticed a striking pattern.All major earthquakes were found to occur in only a few isolated spots in Japan. Each of these spots, he noted, experienced a major quake only once every 50 to 60 years. Dr. Fodo tov concluded that spots that hadn’t had a quake in more than 50 years were “ripe” for a quake. The Russian scientist named these locations seismic gaps.In the past several years, geologists from other countries have found seismic gaps in other parts of the world. After making detailed studies of past quakes in these regions, the geologists were able to make an accurate prediction of when a quake would occur.How Do Animals Know When an Earthquake Is Coming?Scientists who try to predict earthquakes have gotten some new helpers recently—animals.That’s right, animals. Scientists have begun to catch on to what farmers have known for thousands of years. Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming, and they show their fear by acting in strange ways. Before a Chinese quake in 1975, snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air. Cows broke their halters and tried to escape. Chickens refused to enter their coop. All of this unusual behavior, as well as physical changes in the earth, alerted Chinesescientists to the coming quake. They moved people away from the danger zone and saved thousands of lives.One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animal behavior predict quakes. It’s not an easy job. First of all not every animal reacts to the danger of an earthquake. Just before a California quake in 1977, for example, an Arabian stallion became very nervous and tried to break out of his stall. The horse next to him, however, remain ed perfectly calm. It’s also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animal restlessness and “earthquake nerves”. A zoo keeper once called earthquake researchers to say that his cougar had been acting strangely. It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach.A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kind of warnings the animals receive. They know that animals’ sense far more of the world than humans do. Many animals can see, hear, and smell things that people do not even notice. Some can detect tiny changes in air pressure, gravity, or the magnetism of Earth. This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes.A good example of this occurred with a group of dogs. They were penned up in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakes. (Several small quakes often come before or after a large one.) Before each quake a low booming sound was heard. Each boom caused the dogs to bark wildly. Then the dogs began to bark during a silent period. A scientist who was recording tile quakes looked at his machine. It was acting as though there were a loud noise too. The scientist realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noise. They also sensed the tiny quake that followed it. The machine recorded both, though humans felt and heard nothing.In this case there was a machine to monitor what the dogs were sensing. Many times, however, our machines record nothing out of the ordinary, even though animals know a quake is coming. The animals might be sensing something we so measure but do not recognize as a warning. Discovering what animals sense, and learning how they know it is a danger signal, is a job for future scientists.1.Since no one had predicted the precise date of the earthquake striking east of Naples, people there suffered heavy loss in the destruction.2.A seismic gap is located at the junction of two interlocking plates in the Earth, and where no seismic activity has been recorded for a long time.3.From the passage we learn that a regular striking pattern can be found in an active earthquake region.4.During an earthquake in China 1975, cows broke their halters and ran away from their sheds.5.As it is used in Paragraph 13, the word “cat” refers to a typical domestic cat.6.All animals but men can notice tiny changed in air pressure, gravity, or themagnetism of Earth.7.The dogs mentioned in Paragraph 15 had sensed both the low booms and the minor quakes following them.1.

XX厂关于请求总公司增拨工厂厂房基建费的请示XX总公司、XX总经理：2003年2月，我们到X市同行企业参观学习，发现他们不仅机器先进，而且厂房建设也很讲究。

回来之后，我们增添了一批新型设备，同时也向总公司申请盖一个现代化厂房。

总公司批准了我们，拨给我们150万元，此项经费专款专用，已收到明显效果。

人家赞我们：“一座大楼平地起，工厂腾飞在眼前。

”但由于建筑材料涨价，这预算资金缺口较大，恳请总公司拨给不足部分，否则将影响厂房的竣工及我厂生产任务的完成。

特此请示报告。

XX厂（印）二〇〇四年一月二日这份请示的主要错误和不妥之处是：（1）标题不够简洁。

“请求总公司”、“工厂”这些字都可以删去。

（2）主送机关标识错误。

应改成：XX总公司。

（3）缘由部分没有把理由说清楚。

应把增拨的理由、根据作为重点，要说充分。

（4）文中废话较多。

开头到外地学习参观，回来申请盖厂房，总公司给了多少钱等，都市第一次请示盖厂房时说过的，现在没有必要再说一遍，人家“赞”我们的话，也没有必要写上去。

（5）请示事项不明确。

基建费缺口较大，到底缺多少，不足部分是多少，都没有写明确。

（6）结束语不当，没有表达出请求的意思，应该为“以上请示，请批示”或者“以上请求，请批准”。

7.询问函与答复函的结构是：标题+主送机关+正文+落款+成文曰期1．标题询问函与答复函的标题有两种形式：（1）发文机关+事由+文种。

（2）事由+文种。

2．正文询问函与答复函的正文结构是：发文缘由+事项十尾语（1）发文缘由。

The solution is to treat women better.A) Unlike an earthquake, a demographic (人口的) disaster does not strike without warning. Japan’s population of 127m is predicted to fall to 90m by 2050. As recently as 1990, working-age Japanese outnumbered children and the elderly by seven to three. By 2050 the ratio will be one to one. As Japan grows old and feeble, where will its companies find dynamic, energetic workers?B) For a company president pondering this question over a laboriously prepared breakfast of steamed rice, broiled salmon, miso soup (味噌汤) and artistically presented pickles, the answer is literally staring him in the face. Half the talent in Japan is female. “Outside the kitchen, those talents are woefully underemployed”, as Sylvia Ann Hewlett and Laura Sherbin of the Centre for Work-Life Policy, an American think-tank, show in a new study called “Off-Ramps and On-Ramps: Japan”.C) Nearly half of Japanese university graduates are female but only 67% of these women have jobs, many of which are part-time or involve serving tea. Japanese women with degrees are muchmore likely than Americans (74% to 31%) to quit their jobs voluntarily. Whereas most Western women who take time off do so to look after children, Japanese women are more likely to say that the strongest push came from employers who do not value them. A startling 49% of highly educated Japanese women who quit do so because they feel their careers have stalled (止步不前).D) The Japanese workplace is not quite as sexist as it used to be. Pictures of naked women, ubiquitous (普遍存在的) on salarymen’s desks in the 1990s, have been removed. Most companies have rules against sexual discrimination. But educated women are often shunted into dead-end jobs. Old-fashioned bosses see their role as prettifying the office and forming a pool of potential marriage partners for male employees. And a traditional white-collar working day makes it hard to pick up the kids from school.E) Even if the company rule book says that flexitime is allowed, those who work from home are seen as uncommitted to the team. Employees are expected to show their faces before 9am, typically after a long commute on a train so packed that the gropers cannot tell whom they are groping. Staff are also under pressure to stay late, regardless of whether they have work to do: nearly 80% of Japanese men get home after 7pm, and many attend semi-compulsory drinking binges in hostess bars until the small hours. Base salaries are low; salarymen are expected to fill their pay packets by putting in heroic amounts of overtime.F) Besides finding these hours just a bit inconvenient, working mothers are unlikely to get much help at home from their husbands. Japanese working mums do four hours of child care and housework each day—eight times as much as their spouses. Thanks to restrictive immigration laws, they cannot hire cheap help. A Japanese working mother cannot sponsor a foreign nanny for a visa, though it is not hard for a nightclub owner to get “entertainer” visas for young Filipinas in short skirts. That says something about Japanese lawmakers’ priorities. And it helps explain why Japanese women struggle to climb the career ladder: only 10% of Japanese managers are female, compared with 46% in America.G) Japanese firms are careful to recycle paper but careless about wasting female talent. Some 66% of highly educated Japanese women who quit their jobs say they would not have done so if their employers had allowed flexible working arrangements. The vast majority (77%) of women who take time off work want to return. But only 43% find a job, compared with 73% in America. Of those who do go back to work, 44% are paid less than they were before they took time off, and 40% have to accept less responsibility or a less prestigious title. Goldman Sachs estimates that if Japan made better use of its educated women, it would add 8.2m brains to the workforce and expand the economy by 15%—equivalent to about twice the size of the country’s motor industry.H) What can be done? For Japanese women, the best bet is to work for a foreign company. Two-thirds of university-educated Japanese women see European or American firms as more female-friendly than Japanese ones. Foreign firms in Japan (and similarly sexist South Korea) see a wealth of undervalued clever women and make a point of hiring them. One woman who switched from a Japanese bank to a foreign one marvelled that: “The women here have opinions. They talk back. They are direct.”I) Japanese companies have much to learn from the gaijin (外国人). IBM Japan encourages flexitime. BMKK, the Japanese arm of Bristol-Myers Squibb, a drug firm, has a programme to woo back women who have taken maternity leave. Why can’t native Japanese firms do likewise?A few, such as Shiseido, a cosmetics firm, try hard. But apparently small concessions to work-life balance can require a big change in the local corporate mindset. Working from home should be easy: everyone has broadband (宽带). “But Japanese bosses are not used to judging people by their performance”, sighs Yoko Ishikura, an expert on business strategy at Keio University.J) The firms that make the best use of female talent are often those where women can find sponsors. Most of the women interviewed for the study by Ms Hewlett and Ms Sherbin who got back on the career track after time off did so because a manager remembered how good they were and lobbied for them to be rehired. Eiko, one of the women interviewed, felt pressure from her male colleagues to quit when she became pregnant and announced that she was leaving to do an MBA. Her clear-sighted boss realised that this was not what she really wanted to do. He suggested leaving Tokyo and working at another branch with a more supportive atmosphere. Eiko transferred to Hong Kong, where career women are admired and nannies are cheap.46. It is difficult for a traditional white-collar woman during working hours to collect children from school in Japan.47. If employers had arranged flexible working time for Japanese women, about 66% of them with higher education would not have quitted their jobs.48. Two-thirds of Japanese women who get university education think European or American companies are more friendly to women than Japanese ones.49. Eiko’s boss proposed that Eiko should leave Tokyo for another sub-company where the atmosphere was more supportive.50. In Japan, working mothers spend four hours looking after their children and doing housework per day, which is seven times more than their husbands.51. It is in those firms where women can get support that their talent is made the best use of.52. The number of working-age Japanese is much greater than that of children and the senior people in 1990.53. Even though the company rule book allows Japanese women to work flexitime, women working from home are regarded as not devoting themselves to the team.54. Almost 50% of Japanese university graduates are women, only 67% of them have jobs.55. It is apparent that small concessions to keep a balance between work and life can demand local firms in Japan change their mindset greatly.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity (创造力) has changed this. Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons, may before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration (调解) in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based on dogmatic (教条式的) statements which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them fanatically (狂热地) that they are willing to go to war in support of them.The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace (老生常谈) that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between Man and the atom bomb.56. This passage implies that war now is ______.A) worse than in the past C) not so dangerous as in the pastB) as bad as in the past D) as necessary as in the past57. In the sentence “To do this, we need to persuade mankind... ” (Line 6, Para. 1), “this” refersto ______.A) solving international problems C) abolishing warB) improving weapons D) living a peaceful life58. From Paragraph 2 we learn that the author of the passage ______.A) is a supporter of some modern ideologiesB) does not think that the adoption of any ideology could prevent warC) believes that the adoption of some ideologies could prevent warD) has no doubt about the truth of any ideologies59. The last paragraph suggests that ______.A) international agreements can be reached more easily nowB) man begins to realize the danger of nuclear warC) nuclear war will definitely not take placeD) world opinion welcomes nuclear war60. According to the author, ______.A) war is the only way to solve international disputesB) war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weaponsC) it is impossible for man to live without warD) war must be abolished if man wants to survivePassage TwoQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.A useful definition of an air pollutant is a compound added directly or indirectly by humans to the atmosphere in such quantities as to affect humans, animals, vegetation, or material adversely (有害地). Air pollution requires a very flexible definition that permits continuous change. When the first air pollution laws were established in England in the fourteenth century, air pollutants were limited to compounds that could be seen or smelled—a far cry (悬殊的差别) from the extensive list of harmful substances known today. As technology has developed and knowledge of the health aspects of various chemicals has increased, the list of air pollutants has lengthened. In the future, even water vapor (水蒸气) might be considered an air pollutant under certain conditions.Many of the more important air pollutants, such as sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, are found in nature. As the Earth developed, the concentrations (浓度) of these pollutants were altered by various chemical reactions; they became components in biogeochemical (生物地球化学的) cycles. These serve as an air purification scheme by allowing the compounds to move from the air to the water or soil. On a global basis, nature’s output of these compounds dwarfs that resulting from human activities. However, human production usually occurs in a localized area, such as a city.In this localized region, human output may be dominant and may temporarily overload the natural purification scheme of the cycles. The result is an increased concentration of noxious (有害的) chemicals in the air. The concentrations at which the adverse effects appear will be greater than the concentrations that the pollutants would have in the absence of human activities. The actual concentration need not be large for a substance to be a pollutant; in fact the numerical value tells us little until we know how much of an increase this represents over the concentration that would occur naturally in the area. For example, sulfur dioxide has detectable health effects at 0.08 parts per million (ppm), which is about 400 times its natural level. Carbon monoxide, however, has a natural level of 0.1 ppm and is not usually a pollutant until its level reaches about 15 ppm.61. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.A) water vapor is an air pollutant in localized areasB) the definition of air pollution will continue to changeC) a substance becomes an air pollutant only in citiesD) most air pollutants today can be seen or smelled62. In what way can natural pollutants play an important role in controlling air pollution?A) They function as part of a purification process.B) They are dwarfed by the pollutants produced by human activities.C) They are less harmful to living beings than are other pollutants.D) They have existed since the Earth developed.63. According to the passage, the numerical value of the concentration level of a substance isonly useful if ______.A) the other substances in the area are knownB) it is a localized areaC) it can be calculated quicklyD) the naturally occurring level is also known64. Which of the following is best supported by the passage?A) To effectively control pollution, local government should regularly revise the air pollutionlaws.B) One of the most important steps in preserving natural lands is to better enforce airpollution laws.C) Scientists should be consulted in order to establish uniform limits for all air pollutants.D) Human activities have great impact on air pollution.65. The passage mainly discusses ______.A) the economic impact on air pollutionB) what constitutes an air pollutantC) how much damage air pollutants can causeD) the quantity of compounds added to the atmospherePart IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.
