Ⅲ．阅读理解
［2012南通模拟］Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there’s a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you in the long term regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas:
1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?
There are isolating(孤立的)jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
2)How do you handle change?
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don’t happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
3) Do you enjoy working with computers？I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you’ll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
4)What type of work environment do you enjoy？This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won’t know immediately to a smaller setting where you’ll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
5) How do you like to get paid?
Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I’ve seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
1. What is unnecessary in your job hunting?
A. Assessing your skills.
B. Going to different areas.
C. Matching your skills with a position.
D. Taking your personality into consideration.
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Isolating jobs usually drive people mad.
B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.
C. Extreme people tend to work with others.
D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.
3. What is the missing word about a job search in the following chart?
A. Design.
B. Changes.
C. Cooperation.
D. Hobbies.
4. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Lifestyles and Job Pay
B. Jobs and Environment
C. Job Skills and Abilities
D. Personalities and Jobs
Ⅳ．任务型读写阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。From the beginning of human history，people have used oils from seeds and nuts. Most of the time these oils are used as food，especially in cooking. But sometimes they have other uses. For example，oils are used in paint and in cleaning products like soap. Oils are separated from seeds by using pressure. A machine called a press is often used.
The first step in pressing the oil from seeds is to crush the seeds between two stones. The crushed seeds are then put into a cloth bag and the bag is hung up. Some of the oil will flow out of the bag and can be collected.
But some oils will remain in the crushed seeds inside the bag. The easiest way to get the rest of the oil out is to place heavy rocks on the crushed material.
Another method is to place several cloth bags on top of each other in a box. Then a long wooden stick is used to slowly push a heavy cover down on the bags. Great pressure is produced in this way. Much greater pressure can be produced by using a machine，a hydraulic jack (液压千斤顶)．The greater the pressure is，the more oils will be produced.
Small presses are important in areas where electricity or gasoline cannot be used. They are also a good way to test if a local market for oils exists.
Small batch presses can be made of local materials. Their cost is low. They are not difficult to operate. And they are easy to repair. The small presses produce good quality oils. But the work is hard. And getting all the oil from the seeds can be difficult.
If there is a large supply of seeds，then hand-operated presses may not be enough to support a business. Large powered presses that can operate all day are needed.
