The loudest outcry about poverty seemed to come in the wealthiest country by far in the world. According to most calculations, 67 most of that period the United States had a standard of living well 68 Europe's and many times above the world 69 . Yet protests about grinding poverty, hunger, and dreadful need 70 more from the United States than from countries with one-fortieth of their living 71 . An annual per capita income of about 500 dollars is 72 of much of Africa and Asia and not a little of South America. It would seem strange to these people that American radicals demand a 73 from an American commitment to the far corners of the globe so that the money thus saved can be spent 74 the standard of living of 75 Americans.

Part I Writing

Away from Net-bar Campaign

It has been reported that a middle school in Xuzhou City has recently launched a campaign named "Away from Net-bar". More than a thousand students have signed for their solemn promise that they will not spend a single minute in the net-bars. With the coming of the summer vacation, this campaign is especially meaningful for the healthy development of the minors.

The Internet has brought people great convenience in getting information, entertaining and contacting each other, and it has also benefited some businessmen, especially the owners of net-bars. While it is true that most net-bars are running legally, it is also true that some are offering unhealthy programs that involve violence and sex content. Since most middle school students are prone to be influenced and they can hardly tell which bar is doing well and which one is not, it is only advisable that they should stay away from all.

Besides, staying away from net-bars is also good to students" physical health. By passively sitting too long in front of the computer screen, both their eyesight and physique suffer.

Obviously, the Away from Net-bars Campaign is an activity that is worth advocating and it merits other schools' reference.

Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

1.N 文章第一、二段以Annie的经历为例,说明秘书的评价可能会影响到面试的结果;第三段又指出,应聘者有必要明白,坐在接待桌前的不仅仅是秘书而已,由此推断,面试时有必要注意接待员的感受。故该句表述错误。

2.Y 根据题干中的信息词Annie Stevens和newly recruited managers定位到第一个小标题下的第一段,可知Annie Stevens表示,许多新招进公司的管理人员无法胜任新工作最大的原因之一是,他们无法融入公司原有员工的圈子,无法和原有员工相处,因此该句表述正确。

3.N 据题干中的信息词the right start定位到第一个小标题下的第三段,在第二条建议中提到,不要将接待员或其他助理人员看成自己的部下,再结合其他几点建议可知,应聘人员应平和对待接待员,不应轻视他们,而题目提到的要将其视为未来的老板,显然言过其实。

4.NG 第一个小标题下的最后一点建议提到,不要忘记说“再见”,如果你没有和刚刚遇到的人说“再见”,就会给别人留下不好的印象,但原文并没有提到不说“谢谢”会有怎样的后果。

5.what/all you’ve got。根据题干中的信息词give up和wholesale定位到第二个小标题下的第二段,可知对于任何关系,即工作,你确实应该在彻底放弃之前评估你所得到的事物的全部价值,题干中用evaluate一词替换了原文中的同义短语assess the full value of,因此,答案为其后的what you’ve got。

6.your progress。根据题干中的信息词measuring your work定位到第二个小标题,再由encourages your development定位到该部分提到的l2个问题,其中倒数第二个问题中提到了talk to me about my progress,由此可得答案,即在评估自己的工作时,有必要考虑工作中是否有人鼓励你发展,是否有人和你谈到你的进步。

7.they’re engaged in their work。根据题干中的信息词satisfaction with pay and benefits定位到第二个小标题下12个问题之后的第四段,可知对于薪水和福利的满意度没有出现在列表中不是因为它们不重要,而是因为它们对所有员工来说都很重要,无论这些员工是否专心投入工作,由此可得答案。

8.individual departments within the company。根据题干中的信息词l2-question test定位到倒数第七段,可知Coffman认为只有不到l5%的公司能通过包括那l2道问题的测试,但即使公司整体无法通过测试,公司内部的个别部门也可能通过测试,由此可得答案。

9.job satisfaction rests。根据题干中的信息词first six questions和make up the base定位到倒数第五段,可知需要注意的是,如果l2道问题中的大多数你都能给出肯定的答案,但你无法给出肯定答案的少数问题在前6个之中,那你的工作可能就没你想的那么好,因为前6个问题是工作满意度的基础所在,由此可得答案。

10.any job dissatisfaction。根据题干中的信息词answer the l2 questions honestly定位到倒数第三段,可知想要诚实回答那l2道问题,你就得了解自己为什么会那样,以及自己不因任何工作不满而盲目责怪自己部门的原因,由此可得答案。
