11、in 24 that the things a possible employer is most 25 to want to know about are your qualifications , your achievements and your aims.

12、y to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not 29 your own need or desires.

18、safer第二局部：阅读理解(第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每题2分，总分值50分)AThe portrait full of mysteries and secrets is painted on a 7753 cm large poplar-wood canvas. It is the most famous work of Leonardo da Vinci.Originally the painting was larger than today, because two columns, one on the left and theother on the right side o
19、f Mona Lisa, have been cut. That is the reason why it is not easy to recognize that Mona Lisa is sitting on a terrace(台).One day a rich businessman ordered from Leonardo a portrait of his third wife-Lisa. So Leonardo started to work at this painting in 1503. At this time Mona Lisa was twenty-four ye
20、ars old.He worked at the portrait for the next four years. For some reason, he kept it for himself. Some people believed that Leonardo did not hand over the painting, because he did not finish the work. Others believed that Leonardo loved the painting too much.Leonardo da Vinci arrived with the pain
21、ting in his baggage in France in the year 1516. Leonardo sold the painting in France to King Francis who bought it for the castle in Amboise. Later, when Napoleon was banished(驱逐)，Mona Lisa returned into the great Louvre in Paris.On 21 August, 1911 Mona Lisa was stolen by an Italian thief, who broug
22、ht the painting to Italy. After some exhibitions Mona Lisa returned again to Paris.In the 1960s and 1970s Mona Lisa was exposed in New York, Tokyo and Moscow. Today the painting is behind bullet-proof glass in Paris in the Louvre and isnt allowed to be taken to any other places.41. The underlined wo
23、rd “Louvre probably refers to _.A. a castleB. a bedroomC. a museumD. great hall42. According to this passage, the painting Mona Lisa is the following EXCEPT_.A. mysteriousB. secretC. famousD. bullet-proofBWhen X. J. Kennedy flies somewhere, he doesnt tell seatmates that he is a poet. If hes interest
24、ed in chatting, hell say that he writes books for children. If not, “I write textbooks is his conversation killer. “I dont think anybody is a poet, he says, “only in those rare moments when a person is producing a poem.That perspective might seem unusual, given that Mr. Kennedy has won a Lamont Awar
25、d from the Academy of American Poets, a Guggenheim, and a Los Angeles Book Award, among other famous prizes. Yet even during National Poetry Month-when many poets actively promote the genre(体裁)-Kennedy plays down the fact that he has had a deep effect on generations of readers.His An Introduction to
26、 Poetry now in its 11th edition, is the bestselling college poetry textbook. His two anthologies(诗选) for children have also been bestsellers. And his poems, distinctive for their use of wit and rhyme, helped fuel a renewed interest in both formal and humorous work.“He is a poet that the general audi
27、ence easily connects with, but his ego doesnt seem to get in the way. He actively cares about promoting younger or unknown poets. says Thurston, a creative writing teacher at Lasell College in Mass. “Kennedy knows how to use traditional poetic forms to give us both joyful and truthful observations a
28、bout the human condition.“I like poems where you dont really know whether to laugh or cry when you read them, Kennedy says. “I like what Auden said once, that poetry is the clear expression of mixed feelings. The attitude that poetry should not be analyzed is popular among many who consider themselv
29、es experts on childrens literature. But I think that kids like to look closely at things and figure out what makes them go.43. What would be the best title for the passage?A. An American Poet and His worksB. An Introduction to PoetryC. National Poetry MonthD. What Makes a Successful Poet?44. Which p
30、oint of view may Kennedy NOT agree to?A. Its only in some special moments that a person can produce a poem.B. You dont really know whether to laugh or cry when you read poems.C. Any person who wants to be a poet can achieve their dreams in the end.D. Poem can be seen as one way to clearly express yo
31、ur mixed feelings.45. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To introduce an American poet and his achievements.B. To explain why to become a poet is so difficult.C. To compare the difference between a poet and an average person.D. To teach readers how to produce a poem in a short time.CMany of our f
32、avorite travel destinations are in danger of being changed irrecoverably(不可恢复地) by increased temperatures and rising seas. The following are some of the places that may be in danger and some that are already experiencing the effects of global warming.The Everglades, Florida: Perhaps no region of the
33、 country is as vulnerable to climate change as Florida. Even a slight increase in temperature and water level could devastate popular destinations like the Everglades, Miami Beach and the KeysAustralias Great Barrier Reef: One of the most impressive natural habitats in the world, the Great Barrier R
34、eef could be killed by increased water temperatures and the resulting coral bleaching(漂白). Australia is particularly vulnerable to global warming because of its large number of fragile ecosystems, uncertain water sources and a high concentration of people living on the coast.Dalian, China: Fast-grow
35、ing China, shown here during a prolonged heat wave last year, is opening about one coal plant every day this year. Along with the US, China is one of the worlds leading contributors to the greenhouse gases believed to be largely responsible for the increase in the earths temperature.Venice, Italy: N
36、o stranger to flooding, Venice has invested $4.5 billion in the floodgate system that is due to open in . New estimates of changing ocean levels have led some critics to call into question the floodgates ability to hold out the rising waters.London, England: Designed to protect London from storm sur
37、ges and extremely high tides, the Thames Barrier was opened in 1984. Some analysts fear that rising oceans will create conditions beyond the capabilities the barrier was designed to meet.46. The underlined sentence means “_.A. flooding is common in VeniceB. everyone is familiar with floodingC. it is
38、 strange for Venice to experience floodingD. there is no flooding in Venice47. What measures did London take to protect itself?A. A plant is opened every dayB. A flood gate system is builtC. People are asked to live on the coast D. The Thames Barriers was constructed48. The subject discussed in the
39、text is that_.A. the dangerous destinations B. the most popular destinationsC. the fascinating destinationsD. the endangered destinationsDThe evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opp
40、osite of the popularly held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their rooms after endless family quarrels. An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive todays you
41、ng people seen to be about their families, said one member of the research team. “Theyre expected to be rebellious and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. Theres more negotiation and
42、 discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They dont want to rock the boat.So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to
43、discuss things with me and willing to listen to me, says 27-year-old Daniel Lazell. “I always tell them when Im going out clubbing. As long as they know what Im doing, theyre fine with it. Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees, “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call
44、negotiation. For example, as long as Id done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that. Maybe this positive view of family life soulfully not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers rebellion is not
45、 rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away form their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change form helping out with the family business to taking it over.49. The study show that t
