It should state 36 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 37 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 38 out any necessary fact.In writing a letter of application, keep in 39 that the things a possible employer is most 40 to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 41 the first few sentences fail to 42 the readers attention, the rest of the letter may not be 43 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not 44 your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 45 in todays paper.” you might say “I have made a careful 46 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 47 your product and why they like it.”Try to 48 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 49 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I 50 in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no 51 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is 52 .It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 53 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 54 is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 55 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.36.A. clearly B. carefully C. obviously D. easily37.A. found B. done C. known D. heard38.A. sending B. taking C. leaving D. picking 39.A. brain B. sight C. order D. mind40.A. probable B. possible C. likely D. able 41.A.

He found a cold storage room in a building, set up a used typewriter and settled down to work.After a year or so, however, Alex began to doubt himself. He found it was difficult to earn his living by selling what he wrote. But Alex determined to put his dream to the test-even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.One day Alex got a call, “We need an assistant, and were paying $6,000 a year.” $6,000 was real money in 1960. It would enable Alex to get a nice apartment, a used car and more. Besides, he could write in his spare time. As the dollars were dancing in Alexs head, something cleared his senses. He had dreamed of being a writerfull time. “Thanks, but no,” Alex said firmly and swiftly, “Im going to stick it out and write.”After Alex got off the phone, he pulled out everything he had: two cans of vegetables and 18 cents. Alex put the cans and cents into a paper bag, saying to himself, “Theres everything youve made of yourself so far. Im not sure I ever felt so low.”Finally his work was published in 1970. Instantly he had the kind of fame and success that few writers ever experience. The shadows had turned into focus of attention.Then one day, Alex found a box filled with things he had owned years before. Inside was a paper bag with two cans and 18 cents. Suddenly he pictured himself working in that cold storage room. It reminds Alex, and anyone with a dream, of the courage and persistence it takes to stay the course(持续到底) in the shadow land.56. Why did Alex give up his job? A. Because he didnt like the working conditions.B. Because he couldnt earn enough to make a living.C. Because he wanted to be a full-time writer.D. Because he felt he had no potential in his job.57. What did Alex express when he answered the call? A. He refused the job offer.B. He was willing to give them a hand.C. He expected them to pay him more money.D. He would write in his spare time.58. What kind of person is Alex? A. Determined. B. Modest. C. Shy. D. Brave.59. Which of the following can summarize the passage best? A. Look before you leap.B. Two heads are better than one.C. Hold on to your dream and it will e true.D. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.BThe secret of carrier pigeons unbelievable ability to find their way home has been discovered by scientists; the feathered navigators follow the roads just like we do.Scientists now believe the phrase “as the crow flies” no longer means the shortest most direct route between two points. They say it is likely that crows and other birds also choose AAsuggested routes, even though it makes their journeys longer.Scientists at Oxford University spent 10 years studying homing pigeons using global positioning satellite(GPS) and got a surprising result. The birds often dont use the sun to decide their directions.Instead they fly along motorways, turn at crossing and even go around roundabouts(绕道), adding miles to their journeys.“It really has knocked our research team sideways to find that after a decade-long international study, pigeons appear to ignore their inbuilt directional instincts(本能) and follow the road system,” said Prof Tim Guilford, reader in animal behavior at Oxford Universitys Department of Zoology.Guilford said pigeons use their own navigational system(导航系统) when doing long distance trips or when a bird does a journey for the first time.“But once homing pigeons have flown a journey more than once, they can fly home on a habitual route, much as we do when we are driving or walking home from work,” said Guilford.“In short, it looks like it is mentally easier for a bird to fly down a road. They are just making their journey as simple as possible.”60. What would be the best title of the passage? A. How Pigeons Find Their Ways HomeB. Why Pigeons Can Fly Long DistanceC. Birds Follow Roads As We DoD. Why Crows Fly the shortest Distance61. Scientists used to think that homing pigeons often find their directions _. A. by global positioning satellite B. by the sunC. by the road system D. by following other birds62. Why do homing pigeons tend to follow the road system during their journey? A. Because they dont have their inbuilt directional instincts now.B. Because their own navigational system doesnt work.C. Because it is too hard to use their own navigational system.D. Because it is easier to make journey simple by following road system.CThe word “conservation” has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such a good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials: most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were “limitless” and could “last forever”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the plicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.Fifty years ago, nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; wood was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.For the sake of ourselves and those who will e after us, we must now set about correcting the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should be made part of everybodys daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic math formulas. We need to know why all watersheds(上游集水区) need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to give their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, grown trees, because living space for most of mans fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic(立方体的) volume above the earth. In a word, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.63. The authors attitude towards the use of natural resources is _. A. positive B. uninterested C. optimistic D. critical64. According to the author, the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that _. A. they had no idea about scientific forestryB. they had little or no sense of environmental protectionC. they were not aware of the importance of nature study D. they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials65. To avoid repeating the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that _. A. we plant more treesB. natural sciences be taught to everybodyC. environmental education be directed toward everyoneD. we return to nature66. How can you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller.B. Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.C. We need to take some measures to protect space.D. We must preserve good living conditions for both birds and animals.Dmodities(日用品) are basic materials that are used and traded worldwide. The price of modities helps determine how much a business can charge for a product and the profit it can make. modity prices have reached a two-year high since falling sharply during the world financial crisis.Hard modities are materials like iron ore, oil and gold. Agricultural products are soft modities. These include wheat, cotton and rice.Economic measures show the world economy is recovering. China and India, for example, have reported strong growth in manufacturing(制造业). Developed nations have had slower growth. John James, a business professor at Pace University, says demand in developing economics can push up prices for modities like oil and iron are used for making steel. But, he says, changing currency values can also influence prices.Gold prices have reached record levels in recent months. That means gold dealers must pay more for the modity now than they did only a year ago. That affects current prices.Not surprisingly, manufacturers want some control over the prices they pay for modities. Futures(期货) contracts are agreements between a buyer and a seller to exchange something at a set price at some time in the future. These contracts let buyers lock in a price for basic materials. But some traders in futures markets only want to make a profit. They buy or sell contracts depending on the direction they believe prices will go. These speculators(投机者) get condemned when prices rise, or fall, too quickly. The United States, Germany and France are looking into ways to limit this kind of trading.Some experts say exporting modities is not a good path to long-term economic growth. The United Nations recently reported that the least developed countries must change their economics to provide good ines for their citizens. A UN official says the least developed countries need to cut dependence on modities and manufacture products for export. He says only this will let them gain from world trade.67. How many of the following are soft modities? gold corn cotton iron education oil fruits rice salt vegetables A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.68. What is the leading factor for this round of growth of modity prices? A. The growth of gold prices.B. The speculators seeking higher profits.C. Growth of demands in developed economics.D. Growth in manufacturing in developing nations.69. The underlined word “condemned” in the last but one paragraph probably means _. A. blamed B. killed C. limited D. tolerated70. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph? A. Measures to be taken by the United Nations.B. Solutions to this problem for developing nations.C. The disadvantages of high prices of modities.D. How to bring down the high prices of modities.第卷（非选择题 共35分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）（每个空格只填一个单词）BEIJING, March 9The central government will require an additional three years of use for official vehicles for ministers(部长) and governors(政府官员) to reduce the costs of purchasing new cars, media have reported.
