题目内容

To be successful in a job interview, you should take care to appear modestly dressed, avoiding the extremes of too elaborate or too casual attire. On the positive side, clothes may be a good leveller, putting you on a bar with other applicants. On the other hand, clothes which are too informal may convey the impression that you are not serious about the job or that you may be casual about your work as well as your dress. Clothes which are too elaborate, too colorful, or too expensive suggest that you don't understand what behaviour is appropriate for the job. The right clothes at the right time, however, gain the respect of the interviewer and his confidence in your judgement. It may be true that" clothes make the man", but the first and often lasting impression of you is determined by the clothes you wear.
Besides care for personal appearance, you should pay close attention to the manner of speaking. You should speak in a clear voice, loud enough to be heard without being aggressive or overpowering. Your speech should not call attention to itself, but it should reveal your individuality and ability. Obviously you must speak without grammatical mistakes or dialect differences.
You should be prepared to talk knowledgeably about the requirements of the position you are applying for in relation to your own experiences and interests. Knowing something about the position enables you to ask intelligent questions about the work and the requirements for the job. The interviewer can decide from the questions asked whether you are interested or knowledgeable. You can comment on your own training, experience, and other qualifications. The interviewer can determine whether your background and potential seem to fit the position. The position for which you are applying is not only the safest topic for discussion; it is essential that you demonstrate your understanding of the requirements and your abilities in meeting these requirements.
Finally, you must convey a sense of self-confidence and enthusiasm for work. You can demonstrate self-confidence by your manner of speech and dress. You further show it by being prepared for the interview. In addition, the way you enter the room, sit, look at the interviewer, and fill out application forms and other papers may express self confidence. The eagerness with which you discuss the job rather than the salary may reveal your enthusiasm for work. You may express it through your questions and comments about working conditions and facilities. And your previous experience and success will tell the interviewer about your enthusiasm for work. Serf-confidence and enthusiasm for work are valued highly by all interviewers.
When you have a job interview, you should ______.

A. wear clothes which are too casual
B. Wear clothes which are too formal
C. wear clothes which are expensive
D. wear fight clothes

Part A
Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
The chances are that you made up your mind about smoking a long time ago and decided it was not for you.
The chances are equally good that you know a lot of smokers—there are, after all, about 100 million of them, work with them, play with them, and get along with them very well.
And finally it's a pretty safe bet that you are open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers and nonsmokers—or you wouldn't be reading this.
And those three things make you incredibly important today.
Because they mean that yours is the voice—not the smokers' and not the antismokers' —that will determine how much of the society's efforts should go into building walls that separate us and how much into the search for solutions that bring us together.
For one tragic result of the emphasis on building walls is the diversion of millions of dollars from scientific re search on the causes and cures of diseases which, when all is said and done, still strike the nonsmokers as well as the smokers. One prominent health organization, to cite but a single instance, now spends 28 cents of every publicly-contributed dollar on education (much of it in antismoking propaganda) and only 2 cents on research.
There will always be some who want to build walls, who want to separate people from people, and up to a point, even those who may serve society. The antismoking wall-builders have to give them their due help to make us more keenly aware of choice.
But our guess, and certainly our hope, is that you are among the far greater number who know that walls are only temporary at best, and that over the long run, we can serve society's interests better by working together in mutual accommodation.
Whatever virtue walls may have, they can never move our society forward fundamental solutions. People who work together on common problems, common solutions can.
In paragraph 4, "you" refers to ______.

A. smokers
B. nonsmokers
C. antismokers
D. smokers who have quitted smoking

听力原文: Mark Twain who wrote the story we are going to read traveled quite a lot, often because circumstances, usually financial circumstances forced him to. He was horn in Florida Missouri in 1835 and moved to Hannibal Missouri with family when he was about 4 years old. Most people think he was born in Hannibal, but that is not true. After his father died when he was about 12, Twain worked in Hannibal for a while and then left, so that he could earn more money. He worked for a while as a typesetter on various newspapers, and then got a job as a river pilot on Mississippi River. Twain loved this job, many of his books show it. The river pilot job didn't last, however, because of the outbreak of the Civil War. Twain was in the confederate army for just two weeks, and then he and his whole company went west to get away from the war and the army. In Nevada and California, Twain prospected for silver and gold without much luck, but did succeed as a writer. Once that happened Twain traveled around the country giving lectures and earning enough money to go to Europe. Twain didn't travel much the last ten years of his life and he didn't publish much either. Somehow his travels, even when forced, inspired his writings. Like many other popular writers, Twain derived much of the materials for his writing from the wealth and diversity of his own personal experiences.
The speaking focused on which aspect of Mark Twain's life?

A. His travels.
B. His short stories.
C. His finances.
