Since Vocabulary Building and Word Study, another book in this series, (25) _ (devote) to vocabulary development, we are not going to deal with this skill directly, but you should be aware of the basic fact (26) _ the number of words you know determines the difficulty and plexity of the material you can read and understand. (27) _ you have an extremely limited reading vocabulary, you will be able to read only very simple material. For example, children just beginning to read in first grade must use books that only have a few dozen words in them. As they progress through school their reading vocabulary keeps increasing (28) _ they are adults. Adults typically have reading vocabularies of over 50,000 words.Failure (29) _(develop) an extensive reading vocabulary will definitely hold you back in your efforts to improve prehension. Most people learn new words by encountering them in reading or conversation, (30) _ the meaning is usually clear from the context. A few words are learned by looking them up in the dictionary.If you feel that vocabulary is a problem for you, you may wish to do something systematic about it. There are many good books (31) _ to help develop vocabulary, including the one in this series. (32) _(begin) with any of them will help your vocabulary.（B） Conversation is an important part of life to everyone.

Most people, (34) _ _ _ successful they are at work, will find the process of making small talk unfortable, even pointless. However, you (35) _ (have) a pretty small world if you refuse to let others in. Starting off with (36) _ usual ment or question will make others fortable, and even just greeting them with a simple “hello” will often be enough. Once you have made the first move, there is no turning back. You need to keep things going before you can gracefully say goodbye. Think about what you would like to share with a new friend and that is (37) _ you can ask the other person about. Work, family, hobbies or interests are some general points of discussion. (38) _ (keep) the ball rolling, you can show that you are really interested in what they are saying. Once you find mon points of interest, things will definitely take off from there.Small talk (39) _ turn out to be a pleasant experience. The conversation should be brief and casual without turning into a long and boring discussion. Do not let yourself control the conversation. Let (40) _ talk too. Stop worrying about how big of a fool you may appear to be. You may even find out later on that you have the “talent” of getting people to open up to you by engaging them in small talk.Section BDirections: plete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Most career organizations41three stages for graduates to follow the process of securing a suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to available jobs and presenting them well to possible employers.Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their abilities. One area of assessment should be of their42qualifications, which include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own values and attitudes. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful43. The second stage is to study the opportunities which are available for employment. To do this, graduates can study job and44information in newspapers, or they can pay a visit to a careers office, write to friends or relatives who may already be45in a particular profession. After studying all the various46, they should be in a position to make informed parisons between various careers. Good personal47is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms should be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar of spelling errors. They should also prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer. When48information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, as well as49their own abilities with the employers needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the50pany and try to show that they already know something about the pany and its activities. Interviewees should try to give positive answers and not be afraid of asking questions about anything they are unsure about.Reading prehensionDirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. People read for different purposes. Sometimes people read for information while on other occasions, for understanding. Therefore, we can know that the word “reading” has two51senses.The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, and so on. We can get access to the content of those materials52. Such materials may increase our53of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we dont have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding is54to them before we start. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement. The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not pletely55. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is municating something that can increase the readers understanding. Such56between unequals people who know and people who dont know must be made possible. Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning” means understanding more, not57more information. What are the58in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. The writer must be “59” to the reader in understanding. Besides, his book must convey something he possesses while his potential readers60. Second, the reader must be able to61this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the62is approached, success of munication is achieved. Besides gaining information and understanding, theres another goal of reading:63. It is the least64and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to.65, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.51.A. meaningfulB. broadC. separateD. informative52.A. easilyB. whollyC. brieflyD. highly53.A. analysisB. prehensionC. appreciationD. store54.A. equalB. contraryC. inferiorD. devoted55.A. agreeB. understandC. approveD. enjoy56.A. contactB. relationshipC. methodD. munication57.A. selectingB. ignoringC. rememberingD. creating58.A. conditionsB. proceduresC. approachesD. purposes59.A. humbleB. superiorC. kindD. generous60.A. knowB. acquireC. lackD. deny61.A. recognizeB. followC. neglectD. overe62.A. principleB. equalityC. informationD. content63.A. knowledgeB. abilityC. entertainmentD. culture64.A. enjoyableB. reasonableC. flexibleD. demanding65.A. In factB. On the contraryC. In additionD. On the other hand阅读理解(A) Dennis Sinar, 51, a doctor from New York, is quick to explain why he took a year-long break from his job. “I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years. I needed a recharge.” So he took a “gap year”, from July xx to June xx, to explore things like ancient buildings, antique restoration, archaeology and traditional Eastern medicine, in locations including Alaska, Nepal and Romania. “Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one,” said Holly Bull, president of Princeton, N, J. “In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research pany also described the potential American market for gap years as a “sleeping giant.” “A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of a fort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” said Dr. Sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience. His time studying Eastern medicine “assured the reasons I went into health care,” said Dr. Sinar, who returned to practice medicine at his old job, although he works fewer days. “I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “And I listen better than I did before.” George Garritan, chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Management at New York University, certainly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and panies. For employees, investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career. For panies, offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.66.

Why a gap year is worthwhile for adults.C. Whether a gap year is popular with adults. D.

A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said. “Weve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course theres a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you dont graduate, that is a very bad situation.”One ment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. Aprils national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadnt attended college was 7.4%, pared with 3.9% for those with a bachelors degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists warns that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.Ms. Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the value of a college education is the field of ones major: students in engineering or other sciences end up earning more than those who major in the arts or education. The cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid are other considerations, with public institutions generally a better financial bargain than private ones.She suggested two ways of improving the situation: increasing vocational-technical(职业技能) training programs and taking a page from Europes focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning. “The European countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary grades,” she said. “Then they have a higher requirement for whoever goes to collegebut once you get into college, youre more likely to be highly subsidized(资助).”She also is a supporter of technical trainingto teach students how to be workers, such as plumbers, welders and puter programmersbecause “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.74. People usually think that _. A. the cost of technical schooling is a problem B. one will not succeed without a college degree C. technical skills are most important for landing a job D. there is an increased petition in getting into a college75. What does the underlined part “taking a page from” mean? A. revising B. promoting C. defining D. adopting76. What can we infer from the passage? A. Public institutions charge more for education. B. European universities are stricter with students. C. Students with certain skills are in great demand. D. Canadian students prefer to major in engineering.77. Ms. Sawhill may probably agree that_ A. too much stress has been put on the value of college degree B. technical training is more important than college education C. a college degree will ensure promising employment D.it is easier for art students to find favorite jobs(D)Among the governments most interesting reports is one that estimates what parents spend on their children. Not surprisingly, the costs are steep. For a middle-class, husband-and-wife family (average pretax ine in xx：$ 76 250), spending per child is about $ 12 000 a year. With inflation the familys spending on a child will total $ 286 050 by age 17.The dry statistics ought to inform the ongoing deficit debate, because a budget is not just a catalog of programs and taxes. It reflects a societys priorities and values. Our society does notdespite rhetoric (说辞）to the contrary-put much value on raising children. Present budget policies tax parents heavily to support the eld
