　　阅读理解 （共两节，满分34分）

　　第一节（共12小题；每小题2分，满分24分）

　　阅读下列短文，从文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

　　A

　　People travel for a lot of reasons. Some travelers go to see places of a long history. Others are looking for cultures, or just want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. Most European travelers are looking for a sunny beach to lie on. Northern Europeans like to pay a lot of money for the sun because they have so little of it. People of cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam spend much of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason why the sea attracts them. Every summer many people travel to Mediterranean resorts(度假胜地) and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: the sun.

　　The large crowds mean lots of money for the countries along the sea. Italy’s hotels are all booked without a break every summer, and also French beaches, Spain’s coastline.

　　The Mediterranean is becoming one of the most polluted seas on earth. But people do not mind much. They don’t go there for clean water and they allow traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. If the sun shines, it is much better than sitting in the cold rain in those big cities.

　　The writer suggests Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _____.

　　A they take interest in different cultural and social customs

　　B they prefer to take pictures before famous places

　　C they wish to be away from cold, dark and rainy days

　　D they want to see places of interest

　　62. In the second paragraph, the underlined word “attract” most probably means _____.

　　A. upset

　　B. concern

　　C. trouble

　　D. interest

　　63. The country to which lots of foreigners travel can _____ .

　　A. get a lot of money

　　B. have more sunshine

　　C. have more beaches

　　D. have dirty water

　　64. Which of the following might damage travelers’ fun at the beaches?

　　A. Crowded beaches

　　B. Rainy weather

　　C. Traffic jams

　　D. Polluted water

　　Your friends might be in Australia or may be just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks(点击) away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.

　　“I don’t often talk with my parents or grand-parents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Fox’s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.”

　　QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A recorder from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October. And probably Fox’s Shadow was one of them. “I log in(登陆) on Friday nights, and Saturdays when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting on-line every week,” she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.”

　　Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. “You don’t know who you’re talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe in online.” Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to know someone very well. Fox’s Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together.

　　A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ uses. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things,” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because I’ve got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore,” he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money.

　　“If you are really addicted to(沉溺于) it, sometimes you can’t give your mind to your lessons,” he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.”

　　The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance，attitude and manners.

　　A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident and positive attitude.

　　When you introduce yourself， make eye contact （交流）with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others don’t.

　　Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit，walk，gesture，use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. Are you feeling positively about yourself?  Your abilities?  Your interest in the job?

　　Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusiasm（热情） in your voice. When you speak， look at the interviewer. Also， don’t say negative things about yourself， or former employer.

　　Listen to questions carefully. If you don’t understand a question， ask the interviewer to repeat or explain：

　　“I’m sorry， but I didn’t catch that.”

　　“I’m not sure exactly what you mean.”

　　Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers know that. They don’t expect you to be totally calm and relaxed. But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.

　　At the end of the interview， thank the interviewer for her or his time.

　　It’s a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview， or deliver it by hand.

　　Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job.

　　Good luck！
