阅读理解(每题2分，共30分)

此部分共有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5个问题。请从每个问题后的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出正确选项。

Passage 1

There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is sometimes placed among “situation vacant”, and sometimes it appears among “situation wanted”. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.

“Contact us before writing your application”, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is, also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (简历).

There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. “Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams”, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. It was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.

Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. “Your search is over, I am the person you are looking for,” was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded.

There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.

6. The purpose of this new type of advertisement is _____.

A. to offer advice to job-hunters

B. to provide jobs for unemployed people

C. to tell people where they can get well-paid jobs

D. to inform employers of how important curriculum vitae are

答案：

解析：第一段表明此意。

7. The success of this specialized service makes people think badly of _____.

A. newspaper advertisements        

B. current high levels of unemployment

C. job-seekers competing for jobs    

D. employers who are indifferent to job-hunters

答案：

解析：第二段表明此意。

8. What did a job-hunter do in the past?

A. He just wrote a letter of application informing the employer of his education.

B. He telephoned the employers informing that he would like to take the job.

C. He first filled out a job application and then had an interview with the employer.

D. He first wrote an application letter and then had an interview with the employer.

答案：

解析：第三段表明此意。

9. It can be inferred from the selection that in the past _____.

A. jobs were hard to get            

B. jobs were easy to obtain

C. a lot of people were unemployed  

D. few people wanted to take part-time jobs

答案：

解析：从第三段可以推测出来。

A. jobs are not so easy to obtain as they were in the past

B. there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertised

C. there has been an increase in the number of applicants with university educations

Passage 2

Have you ever seen a moon that looks unbelievably big? It hangs over the horizon like a huge‚ pale hot-air balloon. Many people think of the bright full moon of autumn or the harvest moon that way—like a huge‚ pale hot-air balloon. But can you always trust your eyes?

    The harvest moon is the full moon on a day nearest the first day of autumn. Full or nearly full, it rises early in the evening for several nights in a row. It brings farmers well-lit evenings to harvest their crops.

    The harvest moon can look huge. But does it really fill more of the sky than an ordinary full moon?

    Why does the moon look bigger when it is near the horizon? Our brains compare the size of the moon with the size of the objects we see on the horizon. We know that the distant mountains‚ homes‚ or skyscrapers are really very large. And‚ since the moon is much farther away than is the distant landscape‚ we “see the moon as being larger than it would otherwise look.”

11. To what do we compare the size of the harvest moon?

  A． Mountains.     B． Buildings.          C. Homes.     D. All of these.

答案：

解析：前三个全对。

A. inform         B. persuade               C. praise               D. convince

答案：

解析：本文目的是传授知识。

13. The author knew most people find the moon      .

  A. mysterious        B. interesting              C. boring      D. so ordinary

答案：

解析：“神秘的”符合情景。

14. The moon looks bigger if       .

   A. it is autumn                            B. it is near the horizon      

  C. homes are near            D. it is a clear night

答案：

Passage 3

    Holidays in the United States usually occur at least once a month. Most months have a national holiday that has been arranged to be celebrated on a Monday. The holidays have all been decided to be celebrated on a Monday so that the workers may have 3-day weekends—that is‚ Saturday‚ Sunday and Monday in order to rest or travel or do things with their families. Major holidays in the United States such as New Year’s Day or Christmas Day or the day‚ when we remember the first settlers of the United States‚ called Thanksgiving Day are celebrated all over the country. During these holidays most businesses close and the workers stay home and celebrate with their families.

Vacation can be from 2 weeks a year to 4 weeks a year. This usually depends on how long you’ve been working for a company‚ what type of position you have‚ whether you have a very high position or a very important position and it’s difficult to find someone to replace you. In this case‚ you might take a few days at a time rather than taking one month all at once. Usually the more time you spend working for a company‚ the more time you may get for a vacation.

16. The government of the United States makes it a rule for workers to have a ____weekend almost once a month.

A. 1-day      B. 2-day           C. 3-day      D. 4-day
