【答案】1． attend前面加上to

【解析】
这是一篇应用文。信中主要介绍了中国剪纸艺术展览的情况以及剪纸作为一项传统的艺术形式已有1500多年的历史，人们经常在节日和婚礼上用剪纸装饰他们的家
考查固定短语。根据固定短语invite sb．to do sth．（邀请某人做某事）可知，这里用不定式作宾语补足语。故在attend前加to。
考查冠词。联系上下文该句表示"下个星期六"，而the next表示"过去的下个星期六"一般用在宾语从句中。故去掉Saturday前的the。
考查形容词。此处应该用形容词修饰后面的名词art form。故将traditionally改为traditional。
考查时态。本文是一篇介绍性质的文章，常用一般现在时，且通过前后语境分析也可判断出此处是一般现在时。故将had改为has。
考查介词。句意：人们通常在节日和婚礼上用剪纸装饰自己的家。通过句意可知此处应该用表示“用”的介词，with或in，虽然in也可表此意，但后面一般接语言。故将in改为with。
考查可数名词的数。根据前面的various可知这里要用可数名词复数形式。故将pattern改为patterns。
考查固定句型。句意：此外，还有著名的艺术家将在现场表演如何剪纸。表达“某处有…”的固定句型是there be…。故将they改为there。
考查疑问词的意思。句意：还有一些著名的艺术家将在现场表演如何剪纸。根据句意，此处表达“如何剪纸”应该用疑问副词how。故将what改为how。
考查副词的级。句意：希望大家抓住这个机会，多了解中国传统文化。结合上下文可知此处用比较级更符合语境。故将much改为more。
考查固定短语。look forward to中的to是介词，因此这里要用动名词形式作宾语。故将hear改为hearing。
【题目】阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Interviewing someone for a job is not as easy as it looks. First, as the interviewer, you’re tasked with finding the person who will not only do the job well but also fit in well with the other employees.
You have to make an evaluation of abstract qualities that can’t be found on a résumé. Because you have to repeat the process for every potential employee, you end up asking question after question, applicant after applicant.
Still, interviewers need to be told something: “What is your biggest weakness?” is not a good question. It just isn’t.
Now, job seekers have to understand that interviewers want to find some way to know what makes an applicant different from others. Asking questions that are seemingly impossible to answer is one way to see who can think creatively. Then what may be a proper way to respond to such a question?
Honesty, with a twist（新手法）
“‘What are your three strengths and three weaknesses?’ is a classic, but not too many people know how to answer this,” says Kenneth C. Wisnefski, founder and CEO of WebiMax, an online marketing company.
“As an interviewer, we want to hear strengths that describe initiative（主动性）, motivation and dedication. The best way to respond is to include these qualities into specific ‘personal statements.’”
“Similarly, weaknesses should be positioned as a strength that can benefit the employer.”
“I like to hear applicants state an exaggerated strength, and put an interesting twist on it. An example of this is, ‘My initiative is so strong, that sometimes I take on too many projects at a time.’”
This answer leads with a strength that employers want — initiative — and still acknowledges that you’re not perfect.
Although you might consider this acknowledgement too honest, it works because it proves you’re being honest.
Honesty, with progress
When you consider what your weaknesses are, think about how you have attempted to overcome them. No one is perfect, so pretending that you are a perfectionist will come across as insincere.
Debra Davenport, author of “Career Shuffle,” believes citing(引用) examples are the best approach.
“My preferred response for this question is to tell the truth without damaging the applicant’s image.” Davenport explains.
“A better response might be, ‘I’ve had some challenges with work-life balance in the past and I realize that a life out of balance isn’t good for me, my family or my employer. I’ve taken the time to learn better time and project management, and I’m also committed to my overall wellness.’”
The answer adds some dimension to the question, and proves you’ve thought beyond the answer. You’ve actually changed your behavior to address the situation, even if you haven’t completely overcome the weakness.
Put yourself in the interviewer’s shoes
However you decide to answer, Debra Yergen, author of “Creating Job Security Resource Guide,” recommends job seekers imagine themselves sitting on the other side of the desk.
“If you were doing the hiring, what would you be looking for? What would be your motivation for asking certain questions? Who would you be trying to weed out? If you can empathize (共鸣) with the interviewer, you can better understand what they want and need, and then frame your qualifications to meet their needs for the position you seek.”
Once you consider what the goal of the question is and figure out what your honest answer is, you’ll be able to give the best possible answer to a tricky question.
