When applying for a job, it may be_______5 _______some obscure interest to a_______6 _______employer to learn that I collect stamp or had measles as a child, but why should he conceivably want to know that my father was a tobacconist who died in 19887 The authorities who_______7 _______one to fill up forms, frequently demand answers to questions that one would hesitate to put ______8 _______one's intimate friends. The worst of it is that, when______ 9 _______with such questions, my mind goes blank. Have I ever suffered from a serious illness? My mother always assured me I was "delicate". Do I suffer from any personal defects? Well, I wear contact lenses and my upper teeth are not my own, but perhaps the word "defects"______10 _______to my character. Am I supposed to _______11 _______that I like gambling, and find it difficult to get up in the morning? Both of them are true.

(1). A. positive√ B. negative C. mild D. slight 【解析】positive 的意思是“绝对的、确实的”,例如: It was a positive delight to hear her sing so beautifully. 听她美妙的歌声绝对是一种享受。原文是“事实上,我对它确实有 一种恐惧”,因此选A。 (2). A. attending B. registering√ C. living D. working 【解析】register 的意思是“注册、登记”,“ register for an evening course ”,
即“报名参 加夜校课程”。此处选B 最合逻辑,因为报名上课需要填表格,其他各项均不合题意。 (3). A. given B. to give C. giving√ D. having given 【解析】involve 在这里为“包括”的意思,例如: Taking the job involves living abroad. 接受这份工作就必须到国外工作。表此意时:“ involve ”后面接名词或动名词,因为这 里表示填表,就必须提供给别人一些自己的私人信息,所以此题选C。 (4). A. by B. in√ C. at D. to 【解析】“in hand ”是一个固定搭配,表示“在手头上的,随时可用的”,因为这里指“与 手头上正办的事情无关的信息”, 所以用B 最合适。“at hand”为“即将到来的”; “by hand”指“用手做”;“to hand ”指“在取用的范围内”。 (5). A. by B. with C. about D. of√ 【解析】“of ”在这里表示一种因果关系,其后接原因。本句话的意思是“申请一份工作 时,如果未来老板想要知道我集邮、小时候得过麻疹,那他的兴趣真是让人赞解”。 (6). A. prospective√ B. coming C. existing D. going 【解析】“prospective ”指“未米的”,用在“ employer( 雇主) ”前最合适,根据上 下文可知,这里谈到的是求职过程中的情况,所以还只是未来的雇主,现在关系还不确定。 (7). A. hid B. invite C. request D. require√ 【解析】“require ”指“需要、要求”,带有一点强制性,用在这里最合适,因为这里是 说政府、 权威机构(authorities) 要求人们去填表。“ invite ”指“邀请”,不合题意;“ request ” 为“拜托、恳请”,用在这里显得语气过于软弱,因此选D。 (8). A. to√ B. for
C. up with D. with 【解析】“put to ”是一个固定搭配,指“向⋯ ⋯ 提问”,用在这里符合文意。本句话的 意思是“权 威机构让人们常常填写的内容往往是一个人向亲密朋友询问前都会犹豫的问题”。 (9). A. to confront B. confronted√ C. confronting D. being confronted 【解析】“confront ”指“碰到、遭遇”,因为此句主语为“ my mind”,所以这里“ confront ” 要 用被动语态。本句话的意思是“最糟糕的是每当我面对这些问题就会头脑一片空白”。 (10). A. agrees B. connects C. relates D. applies√ 【解析】“apply to ”指“适用、应用”,例如: This rule does not apply to my case. 这个规定不适用于我的情况。本文中指作者怀疑“ defects ”缺陷这个词适用于他的性格 特点。 (11). A. decline B. deny C. admit√ D. reject 【解析】“admit ”指“承认”,因为前面提到了怀疑他的身体有缺陷,这里就说“我是不 是还要承认我喜欢赌博, 而且早上起不来呢?”根据上下文, C为正确选项, 而其他各项 都有“否认、拒绝”的意思。 (12). A. days B. dates√ C. offers D. suggestions 【解析】因为这里叙述的是填求职表格的内容,前面有“过去的经历”,“所任职务”,可 以推断肯定要填写一些“日期”,所以选项dates 最合适。 (13). A. declarations√ B. witnesses C. publications D. announcements 【解析】“declaration ”除了“声明”意思之外,还有“申报”,例如: Please make a written declaration of all the goods you bought abroad. 请把你在海外买的全部货物以书面形
式申报。本文中指填表格时候对自己情况的申报。 (14). A. But B. Therefore C. Though D. However√ 【解析】“however”在这里是副词,指“无论到什么程度”,例如: However cold it is, he always goes swimming. 不管有多冷,他都要去游泳。本文指“不论我怎么努力回忆”。 (15). A. vacant B. empty C. blank√ D. unwritten 【解析】这里的意思是“但是如果空着不填就会让人认为我坐牢了,或者从事什么不便于提 到的令人怀疑的职业”。blank 的意思是“未做标记的、未写的”,而其他各项均无此意, D 项不合语法结构,因此选C。 Inflation Business and government leaders also consider the inflation rate to be an important general indicator.

A. much B. little C. more D. less√ 【解析】根据句子关系和词语提示,本句上半句中的“ fewer ”可作提示词,“ less ” 是“ little ” 的比较形式,与“ fewer ”相配。下句中的“ your money buys less ”是更直接的提示, 因此选D。 (3). A. in√ B. on C. at D. to 【解析】根据词语搭配和上下文线索提示。介同“ in ”与相应的名词搭配使用表示“在⋯ ⋯ 方面增长或减少”。本段第二句有类似的表达“ that causes rapid rises in prices ”。 (4).

B. and C. excluding D. including 【解析】根据句子的逻辑。“ retirement income ”属于“ fixed income”,“ or”连 接两个前后表达属于同类范畴的词。本句话的意思是“退休金和其他固定的收入通常没有物 价上涨得快”,因此选A。 (7).

Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses. Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses' convention, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to
the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself. "Who is that?" the new arrival asked St. Peter. "Oh, that's God," came the reply, "but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor." If you are part of the group which you are addressing, you will be in a position to know the experiences and problems which are common to all of you and it'll be appropriate for you to make a passing remark about the inedible canteen food or the chairman's notorious bad taste in ties. With other audiences you mustn't attempt to cut in with humor as they will resent an outsider making disrespect remarks about their canteen or their chairman. You will be on safer ground if you stick to scapegoats like the Post Office or the telephone system. If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it's the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark. Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote "If at first you don't succeed, give up" or a play on words or on a situation. Search for exaggeration and understatements. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor. (1).To make your humor work, you should ______. A. take advantage of different kinds of audience B. make fun of the disorganized people C. address different problems to different people D. show sympathy for your listeners√ 【解析】为了让你的幽默奏效, 你得让听众明白你和他们处于同样的位置, 尤其是要 “ ...in sympathy with their point of view... ”,所以选D。 (2).The joke about doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are ______. A. impolite to new arrivals B. very conscious of their godlike role C. entitled to some privileges√ D. very busy even during lunch hours 【解析】在护士看来,有关医生的笑话表明他们拥有某些特权,所以自以为是上帝。从笑话 的最后一句可以看出,因此选C。 (3).It can be inferred from the text that public services ______. A. have benefited many people B. are the focus of public attention C. are an inappropriate subject for humor D. have often been the laughing stock√ 【解析】第三段最后一句提到,一些公共服务部门如“ ...the Post Office or the telephone system... ”往往是“ scapegoats( 替罪羊) ”,即人们嘲笑的对象。 (4).To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered ______. A. in well-worded language B. as awkwardly as possible
