题型描述: 阅读理解Michele Langlois is a young Canadian who works for the police as a handwriting expert. She has helped catch many criminals by using her special skill.When she was only fourteen, Michel was already so interested in the differences in her school friends’ handwriting that she would spend hours studying them.

题型描述: 阅读理解In a job interview, the first question is often a “breaking the ice” type of question. Don’t be surprised if the interviewer asks you something like: “How are you today?” or “What do you think of the weather lately?” Answer the question without going into too much detail. Talking about qualifications is the most important part of any job interview. Your qualifications include your education and any special training you may have received in the past. Your qualifications also include your experience in any previous work. It is important to explain what experience you have in detail. Generally, employers want to know exactly what you did and how well you accomplished your tasks. This is not the time to be modest. Try to avoid some big mistakes in the job interview, such as leaving the mobile on and criticizing previous bosses. The worst thing is you yourself have no questions. Having no questions shows you are either not interested or not prepared. Remember that interviewers are more impressed with the questions you ask than the selling points you try to make.1、 The passage is mainly about _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .

题型描述: 阅读理解Almost every society has certain traditional ideas about marriage. For example, most societies expect men and women to marry. Most cultures also have traditions about the role and duties of a husband and a wife. Traditionally, the husband is expected to earn a living, and the wife is expected to keep house and raise children.Many Americans did not follow traditional marriage patterns. For example, a large number of married couples share responsibilities that have been traditionally handled by either the husband or the wife. An increasing number of married women have paying jobs and help support their families financially. In 1940, about 15 percent of all married women earned money. In the early 1990s, about 60 percent held a full- or part-time job. More and more husbands share responsibilities traditionally handled by women, such as cooking, doing housework, and caring for children.On the average, men and women stay single longer than they once did. In 1950s, men married at an average age of 23, and women married at an average age of 20. By the mid-1990s, the average marriage age was about 26.5 for men and about 24.5 for women.An increasing number of people choose not to marry. If a man and a woman wish to avoid marriage, they may decide to live together with no formal obligations to each other. This arrangement is more common among young adults, but some couples of all ages live together without marrying.1、 All Americans would like to follow the traditional marriage patterns. A. F B.

题型描述: 阅读理解Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer（自由撰稿者）, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering “what if”. I would keep putting my dream to the test, even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland （虚幻世界）of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. ]1、 The passage is meant to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. encourage young people to pursue a writing career B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer C. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame D. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience 2、 What can be concluded from the passage? A. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort. B. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation. C. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small. 3、 Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career? A. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year. B. He wasn’t able to produce a single book. C. He hadn’t seen a change for the better. D. He found his dream would never come true. 4、 “…People who die wondering “what if” (Line 3, Para.3) refers to “those _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ”. A. who think too much of the dark side of life B. who are full of imagination even upon death C. who think a lot without making a decision D. who regret giving up their career halfway 5、 “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached B. the bright future that one is looking forward to C. a world that exists only in one’s imagination D. the wonderland one often dreams about

题型描述: 阅读理解Advertisement can be thought of “as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services”. Advertisement aims to increase people’s awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement.There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement.We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them.1、 From the last sentence of this passage we conclude that _ _ _ _ _ . A. advertisement usually cost businesses large amounts of money B. advertisement could hardly convince people of the value of the goods C. businessmen know well that advertisement could bring them more profits D. businesses usually do not pay much for advertisement 2、 The word “media”（in the first paragraph）includes _ _ _ _ _ . A. television B. radio C. the press D. all of the above 3、 Advertisement is mainly paid for by _ _ _ _ _ . A. increased sales B. the customer C. reduced prices D. the producer 4、 Advertisement can increase demand _ _ _ _ _ . A. in a growing market B. in a shrinking market C. in any circumstances D. all the time 5、 Advertisement is often used to _ _ _ _ _ . A. push the sale B. arouse suspicion C. deceive customers D. increase production

题型描述: 阅读理解The fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day. In the United States, it is an annual (每年的) occasion to show thanks to God for his goodness.As a historical, national and religious holiday, Thanksgiving Day began with the English in Plymouth Colony.
