二、阅读理解
根据短文内容从每题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最适合的答案。
What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes a person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
We know, however, that being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as "That was a very clever thing you did." or "You are such a smart child."
What do you think? Are people born intelligent or do they become intelligent with the help of good parents and teachers?
11、 The answers to the questions concerning intelligence are ______.
A. quite sure B. not definite
C. not reasonable D. very obvious
12、 Which of the following is probably the main factor to decide children's intelligence? ______
A. Plenty of mental exercise shared by parents and children.
B. A kind of exercise that needs the intelligence of parents.
C. Relationship between parents and children.
D. A lot of physical exercise.
13、 According to the passage, a dull and unintelligent child ______.
A. has few friends B. seldom talks to his parents
C. usually stays alone a great deal D. is often neglected by his teachers
14、 Why should parents be careful about what they said? ______
A. Because words speak louder than actions.
B. Because children like to listen to sweet words.
C. Because their words have a great influence on children.
D. Because children understand everything by listening to their parents.
15、 The word "smart" (Line 4, Para. 3) has all of the following meanings EXCEPT ______.
A. fashionable B. bright C. wise D. clever
In some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive(有说服力) speech because the applicant seeks to persuade the employer to employ him or her. A job applicant has the responsibility for getting certain types of information before the interview. First, the applicant knows what kind of job he wants and how the job relates to his career objectives. It is important that the applicant be able to speak out his reasons for wishing to work for a company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information about the company as possible. Relevant information for the applicant to locate includes such items as the location of the home and regional offices, the financial status of the company, plans for expansion, and company philosophy. Information about most major companies is available in reference books and periodicals.
After gathering a company's information, the applicant is ready for the interview. The interviewer's first impression comes from the interviewee's appearance. For most interviews, appropriate dress for men is a conservative dark-colored suit with a long-sleeved white or light blue shirt. For women a conservative tailored suit or dress is appropriate. Both men and women should have neat, conservative length of hair. Although hairstyles and dress are matters of taste, many personnel directors form their first impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent college graduate, who felt himself qualified, interviewed for a public relations job. However, the personnel manager considered this young man's long hair, big dress, and casual manner unsuited for this position.
16、 The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. tell the applicant how to obtain the information of a company
B. tell an interviewee how to prepare for a job interview
C. teach the interviewer how to choose a job applicant
D. teach the job applicant what clothes to wear
17、 According to the passage, it is suggested that the applicant should think about ______.
A. how many people are applying for the same position
B. how much money he would earn if he got the job
C. the type of work and his career expectations
D. the possibility of getting a promotion
18、 Before the interview, the applicant should obtain information concerning ______.
A. his career objectives B. most major corporations
C. the letters of regional offices D. the company he applies to
19、 The author suggests that the interviewee should wear ______.
A. a dark blue shirt B. a conservative suit
C. casual clothes D. a light-colored suit
20、 What does the example in the last paragraph mean? ______
A. The importance of one's clothes. B. The importance of self-confidence.
C. The importance of the first impression. D. The importance of one's personal taste.
Who says English spelling is difficult? A computer analysis of 17,000 English words has shown that 84% are spelled according to a regular pattern and that only 3% are so unpredictable that they will have to be learned totally by rote. Yet a professor at Cambridge University once declared that: "I hold firmly to the belief that no one can tell how to pronounce an English word unless he has at some time or other heard it."
Believe it or not, English spelling was at one time virtually phonetic (语音的): even the "k" in "know" was pronounced. At that time, the Old English period, words which now look as if they should rhyme(押韵) (but don't), for instance, bough (大树枝), cough, enough, thorough, and though, actually all had a different spelling and it was therefore natural that they should be pronounced differently.
It's really the French's (the Dutch's, too, but more about them later) fault that English spelling is so absurd (荒谬的), for in 1066 the Normans invaded England and brought with them their own language, Norman French. For the two centuries after this disastrous(灾难性的) invasion(入侵), poor Old English was hardly ever written, because the language of the court, of law and of administration(管理) was French—the Normans held all the positions of power. About 40% of the words in the Oxford English Dictionary derive from French. The problem is that the English have always been hopeless at learning languages and they consequently mispronounced the majority of words, which were introduced by the Normans into the English language. The Normans were also responsible for the capital "I" as in "I am", and for introducing extra letters into existent words, such as the "u" in "tongue" and "guess".
21、 The phrase "by rote" in Line 3, Para. 1 probably means ______.
A. by spelling mechanically B. by memorizing(记住) phonetically
C. by spelling phonetically D. by memorizing mechanically
22、 We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. 84% English words are irregularly spelled
B. 3% English words are irregularly spelled
C. 97% English words are irregularly spelled
D. 26% English words are irregularly spelled
23、 The cause of absurd English spelling is that ______.
A. Britain was invaded by the Normans
B. Old English was hardly ever written
C. extra letters were introduced into existent words
D. the majority of words were mispronounced
24、 During Norman invasion, written English was not used in the following fields EXCEPT ______.
A. the court B. law C. the school D. administration
25、 Which is the best title for this passage? ______
A. Cause of Irregular English Spelling B. Regular Words in English
C. The Influence of French on English D. The History of English

(每小题2分，共10分)
认真阅读短文，用英语简要回答所提出的问题，每题答案不得超过三个英文单词。
Finding a good work-at-home job is not easy. Although you see all the online advertising, there aren't that many of them. Those that are available may require that you live in a certain area or spend at least some time in the office. Others may be only part-time jobs.
Keep in mind that the skills needed for home employment are similar to those needed for working in an office. You'll also need a home office with a high-speed Internet connection, phone, fax, computer, printer, and other basic office equipment.
To get started, consider your job search as your job. Spend as many hours per week on your job search as you would spend working. If you're looking for full-time work, you should be spending full-time hours seeking a job.
Networking(人际联系) remains the top way to find a job and it does work. Develop contacts—friends, family, even the other job seekers—anyone who might have the information you need. You can take a direct approach and ask for job information or try a less formal approach and ask for information and advice. Contact everyone you know and tell them you want to work from home. You may be surprised by the people they know and the job information they can provide.
60、 Why is it difficult to find good work-at-home jobs?
Because they may require that you live in ____________.
61、 Besides the skills for home employment, what else do you need?
You also need ____________.
62、 How much time should you spend searching for a full-time job?
You should spend ____________.
63、 What's the best way to find a work-at-home job?
The best way is ____________.
64、 What's the passage mainly about?

65、 Starting a business is both exciting and frightening. To add the excitement and reduce the fear, you should get prepared from the beginning. Set your short-term and long-term goals first. After you have created your goals, make sure you have a plan for your business that will guide you along the way. Money is a major concern when you start a business especially if you have to give up a well-paid job or if your business needs considerable start-up expenses. You can wait to start your business until you have saved enough money, and even apply for a bank loan when necessary.
