Dear Weiner,
      I think the government should pass a 1aw to stop people from letting their cats run free. There are three
important reasons why you should do it:
     When cats run free, they hide themselves under bird feeders (喂食器) and kill defenseless (毫无防备的)
songbirds. Every time I put up a bird feeder, I find at least one dead bird in my yard. I'm sure all those birds
were killed by cats. And cats don't even eat the birds they kill. Songbirds belong in our parks and gardens, but
cats don't. Dogs never kill poor little birds. I don't know why people don't want a dog in the first place.
     Cats are always using my garden as a litter-box. This is very dirty and makes me feel sick. Children can't
play in the garden when cats have been there. Dogs are usually tied to trees, so they don't cause such trouble.
Cats spread diseases when they use a garden as a litter-box, so I think this should be stopped.
      Finally, letting cats run free is not even good for the cats. Sure, most cats want to go outside. Their
owners like to give them everything they want, just like spoiled children. But cats that stay indoors live much
longer than cats that run free. Cats are always getting hit by cars when they're allowed to run free.
     I'm sure that if you think about all the things I've said, you will work to pass a law stopping cats from
running free. This will improve our environment, make our parks and gardens cleaner, and even help the cats
themselves by making them live. 
     Thank you for your attention to my suggestion.
                                                                                                                                                  Sincerely,
                                                                                                                                         Eve Harringford

第一节（共15题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

If you need extra employment support because of a disability, your local job center put you in touch with one of their Disability Employment Advisers(DEA). Disability Employment Advisers can give you help and support regardless of your situation. They can help you find work or gain new skills even if you have been out of work for a long time, or if you have little or no working experience.

   Referral service

   Your DEA can offer you an employment assessment to identify what type of work or training suits you best and also offer you a work program designed to help disabled people, like the Job Introduction Scheme, WORKSTEP or Access to Work. The DEA can let you know about jobs that match your experience and skills and offer you more work information.

   Employment assessments

   An important employment assessment can help you identify your abilities. Your employment assessment will usually take place at your local Job centre. You will have an interview with your DEA, which is an opportunity for you to talk about your skills and abilities and any previous working experience you may have. As part of the assessment, you may be asked to carry out some practical tasks and written work. These tasks will be similar to common tasks involved in various types of work. The assessment may take half a day or longer, depending on your individual needs. The DEA will discuss the length of your assessment with you beforehand.

   After the assessment

   You and your DEA will talk about your assessment and agree on an action plan to help you achieve your job goals. Your action plan may include training or taking part in the “Work Preparation” program.
