6.My first insight into the Myanmarese people's respect for elephants came from Ma Lwin,a shopkeeper in a farming village in the western Bago Mountains.It was late afternoon when I arrived,(61)covered (cover) in sand after a long motorcycle ride.Inside Ma Lwin's bamboo house,she offered me hot tea and scolded me for traveling through (62)dangerous(danger) elephant territory(领地).
Back when the mountans were covered in forest,she told me,elephants and people had lived(63)in harmony.But now that their habitat(栖息地)was being cut and burned down for rubber plantations,the elephants were forced(64)to walk(walk) long distances searching for food,sometimes threatening farmers in the fields.Even (65)so,the farmers told me they loved the elephants.
That was the beginning of months spent(66)journeying(journey) through forests and villages to document the (67)connection(s)(connect) between people and elephants.During my time there,children in camps played alongside elephants used for logging(采运作业); one day park rangers(护林员)led me toan(69)anelephant giving birth.
Development often(69)gives(give) us the excuse to destroy the environment.As a result,the elephant population has dropped(70)greatly(great).But observing so many people's high regard for elephants i Myanmar gives me hope that they won't be left behind.

分析 本文主要描述缅甸人对大象的尊敬让作者对此有了深刻的理解.过去,山上覆盖着森林,人与大象和谐相处.现在,人们为了种植橡胶园,砍伐树木,大象被迫到很远的地方寻找食物,有时威胁到农民的安全,即使这样,人们仍然喜爱大象.

解答 61.covered 考查过去分词.I与cover之间是动宾关系,用过去分词作状语.
62.dangerous 考查形容词. elephant是名词,要用形容词修饰作定语.
63.in 考查介词.live in harmony意为"和睦相处",是固定搭配.
64.to walk 考查动词不定式.force sb.to do sth.意为"迫使某人做某事",动词不定式作宾语补足语,此处是其被动形式.
65.so 考查固定搭配.even so意为"虽然如此",是固定搭配.
66.journeying 考查动名词.spend time/money (in) doing sth.意为"花费时间(金钱)做某事",其中in可以省略.
67.connection(s)  考查名词.定冠词the后接名词connection,根据上下文语境可用复数形式.
68.an 考查冠词.elephant是可数名词,单数形式前加不定冠词a表示泛指,因其读音以发元音开头,用不定冠词an.
69.gives 考查主谓一致.主语Development是单数形式,谓语动词也应用单数形式gives.
70.greatly 考查副词.drop是动词,要用副词修饰.

14.For college graduates,it is of vital importance to write application letters well.(36)FIt should state clearly the job you want,and should tell what you have done.It should be simple,human,personal and brief without leaving out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application,keep in mind that the things a possible employer is most likely to want to know about are your qualifications,your achievements and your aims.(37)GIf the first few sentences fail to win the reader's attention,the rest of the letter may not be continued at all.Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not to your own needs or desires.For example,instead of beginning with"I saw your advertisement in today's newspaper"you might say"I have made a careful study of your advertising during the past six months"or I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives use your product and why they like it."
(38)E Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now applying.College graduates looking for their first positions often ask what they can provide in a letter and what if employers warn experience,which,naturally,no beginner has.(39)C
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.Make a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.(40)B That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch in you.

A.Here are a few suggestions for you to prepare yourself better for your interview.
B.An excellent idea is to enclose a stamped,self-addressed envelope with your letter.
C.The answer is that everything you have ever done is experience.
D.Don't be afraid of being a new hand.
E.Try to avoid writing in general.
F The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to"sell"yourself.
G.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most import.

18.Going online to do research when you're writing papers and doing projects is natural thing to do.(16)C Knowing how to evaluate and choose online resources can help you avoid headaches and wasting time.

(18)DThey can be good resources,but it's always best to check with your teacher to make sure he or she considers the site appropriate.Wikipedia.Org is popular and ranks highly in search results,but it can be edited by anyone,whether a person has accurate knowledge of the topic or not.(19)F
On commercial websites ending in.com,check to see if the site has advertising.(20)G And bogs,personal websites and social media sites are more likely to give personal opinions rather than facts.

D.Sites ending in.org are usually run by non-profit organizations.
E.Many schools block access to images or websites that may be valuable to your research.
F.At most schools,using Wikipedia as a source is not a good way to build credibility.
G.If it does,it may be biased(有偏见的),since it's trying to sell a product.

16.Emma Morano,the oldest living person celebrated her 117th birthday on November 29,2016.Friends,neighbors and her doctor joined Morano in her small apartment home in the northern Italian mountain town of Verbania.She blew out three candles on her birthday cake.Each candle represented a number in her age."I hope I don't have to cut it,"Morano joked.
"She dressed up and she was very proud,"said her long-time doctor,Carlo Bava."She posed for a photographer,and even asked if her hair looked good.""I am happy to turn 117,"Morano told those attending her party.She received a greeting from Italy's president,Sergio Mattarella.He wished her peace and continued good health.She is thought to be the last living person born in the 1800s.She outlived all her brothers and sisters,including one who died at age 102.
