　　课后限时自测(二十四)

　　Ⅰ.语法填空

　　“All the animals that come into our care __9__(treat)completely free of charge.Our aim is to return every animal that is capable of surviving back into its __10__(nature) environment.”said the President of Wildlife Aid.

　　【语篇解读】　Wildlife SOS是一个致力于宣传保护动物的电视系列片，它的内容基于一个动物慈善机构Wildlife Aid。

　　【答案】　

　　1．a　考查冠词。此处是Wildlife SOS的同位语，意思是Wildlife SOS是一个电视系列片。

　　2．started　考查过去分词作后置定语。此处相当于which was started。

　　3．them　考查代词。此处指代前面的injured wildlife。

　　4．such　考查固定搭配。such...as“例如……”。

　　5．that/which　考查定语从句。此处是限制性定语从句，缺少主语，先行词是swans，指物，故用that或which。

　　6．providing　考查现在分词作状语。provide与It之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词形式。

　　7．on　考查介词。have the impact on sth.“对……有巨大影响，强大作用”。

　　8．when　考查时间状语从句。解说员致力于教育观众，当发现受伤的野生动物时，应如何进行最佳的处理。when表示“当……时”，符合语境。

　　9．are treated　考查语态。所有送到我们这里的动物都是完全免费接受治疗的。根据语境可知应用被动语态，故填are treated。

　　10．natural　考查形容词。此处指自然环境，故用形容词natural修饰名词environment。

　　Ⅱ.完形填空

　　The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to“sell”yourself.It should state __1__ the job you want，and should tell what your abilities are and what you have __2__．It should be simple，human，personal and brief without __3__ out any necessary facts.

　　In writing a letter of application，keep in __4__ that the things a possible employer is most __5__ to want to know about are your __6__，your achievements and your aims.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.If the first few sentences fail to __7__ the reader's attention，the rest of the letter may not be __8__ at all.Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not __9__ your own need or desires.For example，instead of beginning with“I saw your __10__ in today's newspaper”，you might say“I have made a careful __11__ of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives __12__ your product and why they like it.”

　　Try to __13__ generalities.Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now __14__．College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“What can I __15__ in a letter？Employers want experience－which，naturally，no __16__ has.”The answer is that everything you have ever done is __17__．

　　It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.__18__ a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.An excellent __19__ is to enclose(内附)a stamped，self－addressed envelope with your letter.That makes it __20__ for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
