21、 Many of us dream about getting a good job, but you can never predict for sure which questions you’ll be asked in a job interview. However, some are so commonly asked that you should expect to hear them, and more importantly, spend time preparing your responses to them instead of leaving them to chance.
1. “Why are you leaving your current job”
Interviewers ask this, because sometimes the question produces relevant information. They may learn if you were fired for poor performance, if you can’t get along with your boss or if you are actually out of job. Most interviewers won’t care too much about the details. Whatever answer you’d give, keep in mind that your answer needs to be truthful, and employers may check the facts.
2. “What salary range are you looking for”
It’s essential to prepare an answer for this question ahead of time. You need to research the market rate. Employers who ask for your salary history want to figure out how much you should be earning now. One option is to respond with your salary expectations based on reality, for example, depending on benefits.
3. “Why do you think you are good at this job”
To get an offer, you need to show not just that you’re qualified to do the job, but that you’d be good at it. That means you need to talk about “evidence” in your past that shows your success in each of the key qualifications. Get well prepared for questions like “Give me an example of a challenge you faced and how you solved it.”
4. “What are your weaknesses”
Interviewers ask this question because they want to make sure your weaknesses won’t get in the way of you doing the job well. Be prepared to honestly discuss your weak spots. What have you struggled with in the past? What have managers encouraged you to do differently? This type of answer will help you have an honest dialogue with the employer to figure out if this role is the right fit for you.
【1】By asking the first question, the interviewers intend to ________.
A．get some related information about the interviewee
B．judge what kind of person the interviewee actually is
C．learn if the interviewee was fired by the boss
D．confirm whether the interviewee is honest or not
【2】To get a job offer, the interviewee needs to ________.
A．be realistic and truthful
B．demand a suitable sum of money
C．give evidence of qualifications
D．tell about how you’ll do the job properly
【3】Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A．How to cope with interviews
B．Job interviews and your careers
C．What would you do in a job interview
D．Job interview questions and answering tips
22、Preparing for exams? Give yourself the best chance with these study tips,and try not to let the stress get to you! Remember:you've got this.
Give yourself enough time to study. 【1】While some students do seem to succeed depending on last-minute hard-work, it's widely accepted that this is not the best way. To help sort out your time management, set up a timetable for your study and organize it accordingly.
Use flow charts and diagrams.【2】 At the start of a topic, challenge yourself to write down everything you already know about a topic-and then highlight where the gaps lie. Closer to the exam,simplify your revision notes into one-page diagrams, which can help you to quickly recall everything you need during the exam.
Explain your answers to others. Take advantage of your parents and little brothers and sisters around exam time. Explain an answer to a question to them. 【3】
【4】You may think it's best to study for as many hours as possible. However, this can turn out to be the opposite. Studies have shown that for long-term memory of knowledge, taking regular breaks really helps.
Plan your exam day.【5】Don't leave it to the day before to suddenly realize you don't know the way, or what you're supposed to bring. Check all the rules and requirements, and plan your route and journey time. If possible, do a test run of the trip. If not, write down clear directions.
A．Take regular breaks.
B．Think about what works for you.
C．Don't leave it until the last minute.
D．Avoid developing any study routine.
E．That will help you to get it clear in your head.
F．Visual aids can be really helpful when revising.
G．Get everything ready well in advance of the exam.
23、One of the most traditional British holidays is the “seaside holiday”. Typically, families get on a train or into a car and travel to British seaside towns. They sunbathe on the beach, buy ice creams, eat fish and chips, build sandcastles and so on.
In the early 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn't very good, even in summer, so a lot leave the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget is the “package holiday", where the cost of flights and accommodation are offered at a discounted price by travel agents.
In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became more wealthy, or at least had more disposable income. As a result, young people started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece. Once at their destination, they socialized with other groups of young people and had one long party.
British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a warmer climate than before, so people don't always feel they need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economics rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
In the UK, the domestic (国内的) tourism industry---when people go on holiday in their own country---is healthier than it has been in decades. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography and the diversity of climate-based activities on offer. It is also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists
The UK has always been famous for its international explorers, but now it is starting to discover itself.
【1】What mainly caused Britons to travel abroad for holidays in the early 1970s?
A．The lower cost of flights.
B．The bad weather in the UK.
C．The trend of going overseas.
D．The rise of tourism industry.
【2】What does the underlined word “disposable” mean in Paragraph 3?
A．Easy to handle.
B．Steady in amount.
C．Flexible to change.
D．Available for use.
【3】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Steady interconnected economics encourage more Britons to holiday in the UK.
B．Climate change has an impact on the change of British holidaying habits.
C．Package holiday was particularly popular with rich families in the early 1970s.
D．Both domestic and international tourists are interested in the diversity of the UK.
【4】What's the author's attitude towards UK's domestic tourism industry?
A．Uncertain.
B．Optimistic.
C．Pessimistic
D．Critical.
24、A family’s socioeconomic status (SES) affects more than just their lifestyle , and it can also impact the intellectual development of children as early as 18 months old . Researchers Betty Hart and Todd Risley identified what they call “ The 30 Million Word Gap ” , which shows that children in higher income families will hear approximately 30 million more words than children in families on welfare by the time they are three years old . The researchers found that these discrepaneies are even visible in children’s brain scans . And this gap doesn’t just disappear after age three : hearing additional words so early in life leads to higher IQs and more academic success later . More recently , the result has been reconfirmed by the LENA Foundation , a non-profit organization .
Todd Risely , co-author of the study , emphasized that being born into a low SES family does NOT prevent a child from realizing his or her full potential or from competing with children from higher socioeconomic status families , especially if a parent or caregiver , such as a grandparent , engages in daily and frequent intelligent interaction with the child during the critical first three years of life ; being born into a high ESE does NOT assure that a child will realize his or her full potential , especially if child-raising is outsourced to a nanny who does not have active interaction with the child during the first three years .
“ Language is like nutrition for your brain . The more words you hear , the more your brain develops , ” Betty Hart said . “ If you don’t have language , you can’t progress . Language is the key . ” Based on the research , several pilot programs designed to help parents get into the habit of talking with their babies , a practice that scientists say can do wonders for a child’s future literacy are being set up .
【1】The underlined word “ discrepancies ” possibly means __________ .
A. similarities B. possibilities C. differences D. difficulties
【2】What can be inferred from the second paragraph ?
A. Todd Risley has a disapproving attitude towards the research .
B. The research result does not necessarily apply to specific situations .
C. Attention shall be attached to the accumulation of spoken words after 3 .
D. A grandparent is considered as a better caregiver than a part-time nanny .
【3】What Betty Hart said suggests that __________ .
A. language is crucial to develop babies’ future academic performance
B. more talks are recommended to improve babies’ reading ability .
C. the higher the SES is , the more intelligent the child will be
D. relevant measures should be taken to help develop babies’ brain
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage ?
A. SES Is the Key to Babies’ Future
B. High SES Leads to Future Success
C. Parents Impact Babies’ Development
D. More Talks Benefit Babies’ Development

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the summer when I turned 18. I was filled with excitement because of my new freedom of driving. I drove carefully with my new license. Along with this new privilege came new responsibilities. I would perform the same routine — call my parents and tell them where I was going, who I was with, and when I would be home. It became a typical cycle.
I had been working all day in the hot sun. I was exhausted and ready for a nap. But my stomach told me something different. So I called my friend Mike and made our way into town. After our meal, we had no idea that our day would soon change for the worse.
It takes one moment to shift your life upside down. I vividly remember I was driving fast. Too fast. I came to the conclusion two years later, that the mistake would be with me for the rest of my life.
Mike and I were driving down a dusty gravel(沙砾) road. I was driving a shiny black Saturn, which was the car I admired for long. I was very proud to be driving it. It was perfect in my eyes. I could see the rolling hills in the distance. Tall pine trees traveled on both sides of the road. With the music playing, we were enjoying ourselves. Somehow, without realizing it, I sped up the car.
Coasting（滑行) freely in my car, we came across a loose spot of gravel. My tyres were stuck in it and desperate to escape. My car started fishtailing. In panic, I pressed hard on the brakes（刹车） and instantly the car lost control. I got into panic, frozen with terror. Looking to the right, I took a glimpse of Mike. His body had leaned toward me. He was trying to prepare himself for the coming crash. The car was rushing left to right, coasting along the gravel like it was ice. Moments later, the front of my car crashed head-on into a tree.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I heard a loud sound of my car hitting the tree.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Luckily enough, Mike and I were not so seriously hurt.
