　　(2016·广东六校第二次联考)

　　As the global financial crisis hits the economy, it's tough finding a job—especially if you're competing with thousands of other hopeful students. Sometimes you get the interview, but don't quite seem to land the job because

　　you

　　don't

　　have

　　related

　　experience.

　　Don't despair! Here are a few tips that might give you an edge.

　　1．Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let everyone know you are looking for a job.

　　2．Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it's perfect. Have someone else read it over for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It's worth the money to present yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the Internet.

　　3．When you apply for a job，be sure you match any skills listed on the posting with the skills you have. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just

　　having

　　the

　　skills

　　is

　　enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job.

　　4．Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview.

　　5．Don't be afraid to accept a position for which you are overqualified—if there's room

　　for advancement. Many great job advancement come from first doing well at an entry­level position. If you have the right skills and attitude，it won't be long before you're in the job you want.

　　6．Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an improvement.

　　7．When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the organization.

　　8．Use every tool available to you. For example, many sites have many job links for your use.

　　Good luck!

　　(2016·江苏苏南四校检测)

　　For new countries joining the European Union, and older ones getting used to their dark red passports, becoming “Europeans” is a bit like marrying into a large, eccentric (古怪的)family. Europeans have a lot in common but it is their differences, not their similarities, that attract the attention of sociologists and market researchers, and are more interesting.

　　●35% of Germans live alone, but only 9% of Spaniards. Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.

　　●The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe ，and the Belgians least. So it can't just be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain!

　　●The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky.

　　●The Dutch and Germans are the greatest caravaners (活动房居住者), but the Germans like bigger beds in their caravans.

　　●The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians，just over the border, play fewest sports.

　　●The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well, of course they do，it's colder.

　　●Dutch husbands do the household shopping a lot more often than Italians or Spaniards.

　　●The French are the champion public transport commuters (经常往返者) of Europe. If you hate commuting, go and live in the Netherlands, where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.

　　●The amount of direct eye­contact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is among the British or Swedes. Sharing_a_lift_is_torture_for_both_the_British_and_the_Swedish.

　　●No European countries really agree with any other about how to make good coffee. All of them are different.

　　There are exceptions to all these rules. Deal with them in the spirit of my 8­year­old daughter. “If you don't understand each other's language, you just laugh a lot，and eat，and point at things.”

　　本文为说明文，主要介绍了欧盟大家庭内的怪异现象及欧洲人之间的差异性。

　　46．We can know from the passage that ________.

　　A．sociologists are most interested in the idea of the European Union

　　B．all the European countries are not willing to join the European Union

　　C．Europeans have a lot more differences than similarities

　　D．a lot of differences do exist among the European countries

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“... but it is their differences, not their similarities, that attract the attention of sociologists and market researchers, and are more interesting.”以及下文的介绍，可推断欧洲各个国家之间确实存在很多的差异。

　　47．If you work or live in Belgium, you will ________.

　　A．have to change your living places often

　　B．not get used to its cold weather

　　C．seldom see people playing sports

　　D．be invited to go for a drink frequently

　　答案：C　细节理解题。根据第六段中的“But the Belgians, just over the border, play fewest sports.”可知，在比利时会很少看到人们从事体育运动。故C项正确。

　　48．The underlined sentence “Sharing a lift is torture for both the British and the Swedish.” means that the British and the Swedish ________.

　　A．care about their safety most

　　B．hate to look at each other face to face

　　C．like to appear gentle and smart

　　D．enjoy a richer life than others

　　答案：B　句意理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句“The amount of direct eye­contact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is among the British or Swedes.”可知，陌生的英国人和瑞典人直接的目光接触机会非常少，据此推知他们不愿意直视对方。故选B项。

　　49．Which of the following statements is TRUE about Spain?

　　A．Spaniards hate direct eye­contact between strangers.

　　B．Spaniards like to go for a drink after dark.

　　C．Spaniards spend twice as much on heating as the Germans.

　　D．In Spain，husbands do more household shopping than those in Italy.

　　答案：B　是非判断题。根据第三段最后一句“If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain！”可知，西班牙人喜欢晚上出去喝酒。故B项正确。

　　50．In the last paragraph，the author wants to express his idea that ________.

　　A．his daughter knows well how to understand foreigners in unfamiliar situations

　　B．Europeans actually share the same culture even if they have different languages

　　C．being a European, you will have no living trouble at all in the European Union

　　D．there are differences between European countries，but don't take them too seriously

　　(2016·湖南五市一校联考)

　　Which is safer—staying at home, traveling to work on public transport, or working at the office? Surprisingly，each of these carries the same risk, which is very low. However, what about flying compared to working in the chemical industry? Unfortunately，the former is 65 times riskier than the latter! In fact the accident rate of workers in the chemical industry is less than that of almost any of human activity, and almost as safe as staying at home.

　　The trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearby. It is this that makes chemical accidents so newsworthy. Fortunately, they are extremely rare. The most famous ones happened at Texas City(1947), Flixborough(1974), Seveso(1976) ，Pemex(1984) and Bhopal(1984)．

　　Some of these are always in the minds of the people even though the loss of life was small. No one died at Seveso, and only 28 workers at Flixborough. The worst accident of all was Bhopal ，where up to 3,000 were killed. The Texas City explosion of fertilizer killed 552. The Pemex fire at a storage plant for natural gas in the suburbs of Mexico City took 542 lives, just a month before the unfortunate event at Bhopal.

　　Some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to illustrate a particular danger. Thus the Texas City was caused by tons of ammonium nitrate, which is safe unless stored in a great quantity. The Flixborough fireball was the fault of management, which took risks to keep production going during essential repairs. The Seveso accident shows what happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doorstep. When the poisonous gas drifted over the town, local leaders were incapable of taking effective action. The Pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in an overcrowded suburb. The fire set off a chain reaction of exploding storage tanks. Yet, by a miracle, the two largest tanks did not explode. Had these caught fire, then 3,000 strong rescue team and fire fighters would all have died.

　　本文为议论文，主要围绕乘坐飞机和在化工产业工作哪一个更危险这一话题而展开，并介绍了在化工产业曾经发生的事故。

　　51．Which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A．Working at the office is safer than staying at home.

　　B．Travelling to work on public transport is safer than working at the office.

　　C．Staying at home is safer than working in the chemical industry.

　　D．Working in the chemical industry is safer than traveling by air.

　　答案：D　是非判断题。根据第一段第三、四句“However, what about flying compared to working in the chemical industry? Unfortunately, the former is 65 times riskier than the latter！”可知，乘坐飞机比在化工产业工作风险更大，故D项正确。

　　52．Chemical accidents are usually important enough to be reported as news because ________.

　　A．they are very rare

　　B．they often cause loss of life

　　C．they always occur in big cities

　　D．they arouse the interest of all the readers

　　答案：B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句“The trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearby. It is this that makes chemical accidents so newsworthy.”可知化工产业所发生的事故通常会被报道是因为它们往往会导致死亡，故选B项。

　　53．According to the passage, the chemical accident that caused by the fault of management happened in ________.

　　A．Texas city

　　B．Flixborough

　　C．Seveso

　　D．Mexico City

　　答案：B　细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句“The Flixborough fireball was the fault of management, which took risks to keep production going during essential repairs.”可知Flixborough所发生的事故是由于管理出现了问题。

　　54．From the passage we know that “ammonium nitrate” is a kind of ________.

　　A．natural gas, which can easily catch fire

　　B．fertilizer，which can't be stored in a great quantity

　　C．poisonous substance, which can't be used in overcrowded areas

　　D．fuel, which is stored in large tanks

　　答案：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“Thus the Texas City was caused by tons of ammonium nitrate, which is safe unless stored in a great quantity.”可推知ammonium nitrate应该是不能大量储存的有毒材料，故选B项。

　　55．From the discussion among some experts we may conclude that ________.

　　A．to avoid any accident we should not repair the facilities in chemical industry

　　B．the local authorities should not be concerned with the production of the chemical industry

　　C．all these accidents could have been avoided or controlled if effective measures had been taken

　　D．natural gas stored in very large tanks is always safe

　　答案：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Thus the Texas City was caused by tons of ammonium nitrate, which is safe unless stored in a great quantity. The Flixborough fireball was the fault of management, which took risks to keep production going during essential repairs. The Seveso accident shows what happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doorstep. When the poisonous gas drifted over the town, local leaders were incapable of taking effective action. The Pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in an overcrowded suburb.”列出的这些事例可知，如果采取了有效的措施，这些事故是可以避免的。
