（一） [2017·衡阳八中高三六次月考]
I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes！”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my twoyearold daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.
Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

[2017·湖南师大附中检测]
While you may be doing everything right, ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep you from getting a job, especially in this fierce market. Here is a checklist that covers some of the major links in the jobsearch chain.
THE RESUME—Make sure it is uptodate and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for. Have someone else look at your resume. If you cannot afford a career coach, give your resume to friends or family members to scrutinize. Have copies of your resume printed so that you are ready to hand them out at interview.
COVERING LETTERS—Maybe you've set up a few basic styles in advance, but that's not enough. Each covering letter should be designed to suit the job for which you are applying.
THE WARDROBE(衣橱)—Check your wardrobe to ensure that you have the appropriate professional dress, including shoes, ready for interviews.
NETWORKING—Don't isolate yourself from others for days. Network through email messages, phone calls, appointments and meetings keep you in touch with the outside world and prevent you from becoming depressed.
APPLICATION—A glance at huge online job sites isn't usually the best way to find a job. You are more likely to succeed through the people you know via networking.
THE FOLLOWUP—It is quite common to apply for a job but never hear back from the company. Take measures, such as following up with a phone call a week or so after you apply. If you know someone at the company, check whether that person will put in a good word for you.
INTERVIEWS—If you've got plenty of interviews but no return calls or job offers, take a look at your interviewing skills. This is one area where investing in a career coach may pay off. But if you can't afford one, try to find a job group or service that conducts free mock(模拟) interviews.
SUPPORT SYSTEMS—Finally, recognize that looking for a job is rather difficult. Even at the best of times, a job hunt is often about rejection, and that can be hard to endure. Staying in touch with families, friends, professional networks and fellow job seekers can help you to maintain a positive attitude and a sense of perspective.
6. The author's purpose of writing this text is to________.
A．suggest graduates should find suitable jobs
B．tell people how to improve their interviewing skills
C．teach people how to get ready for an interview
D．give people some tips on searching for jobs
7．The underlined word “scrutinize” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________．
A．check
B．use
C．rewrite
D．criticize
8. Which of the following methods is wrong according to the text?
A．You should have your resume read by your friends after finishing it.
B．You should create different covering letters for the different jobs you apply for.
C．Searching online is the most effective way to look for a job.
D．You should wear professional clothes and shoes for the interview.
9. What should you do if you don't receive any calls after lots of interviews?
A．Ask a fellow job seeker to help you.
B．Carefully review your interviewing skills.
C．Rewrite your resume as soon as possible.
D．Go to the managers' offices to find out why.
10. It is implied in the text that________．
A．people often pay no attention to writing their resume
B．the interview is the most difficult step for interviewees
C．your social network may help you a lot in your job hunt
D．a career coach often offers free mock interviews to interviewees
6. D 推理判断题。从第一段可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是让读者了解求职过程中要注意的一些细节问题。故选D项。
7. A 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Have someone else look at your resume.”可知“让其他人看一下你的简历。如果聘不起职业导师的话，可以让朋友或家人检查一下”，由此可以推出scrutinize的意思是“检查”，故选A项。
8. C 细节理解题。从文章第六段“A glance at huge online job sites isn't usually the best way to find a job.”可知选C项。
9. B 细节理解题。从作者在倒数第二项提的建议可知，如果经过多次面试，但却没有得到公司的回复，那面试者一定要重新审视自己面试过程中的一些技巧问题。故选B项。
10. C 推理判断题。文章第六段隐含着这样一个信息：面试者要多参加社交活动，建立关系网，从而通过朋友更快地找到工作。
