Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do―especially in a tight job mar?ket. Bob Crossley,a humanresources expert notices 1        in the job applications that 2        his desk every day. "It's 3       how many candidates eliminate themselves," he says.

"Resumes (简历) 4       with stains. Some candidates don't 5        to spell the company's name correctly. Once I see a mistake,I eliminate the candidate," Crossley concludes, "If they cannot take care of these 6       ,why should we 7        them with a job?"

Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle 8        little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. "To keep 9        losing the forest for the trees," says Charles Garfield,associate professor at the University of California,San Fran?cisco ,"we must constantly ask ourselves 10        the details we're working on 11        into the larger picture. If they don't,we should 12        them and move to something else."

Garfield compares this process 13        his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon 14        was slightly offcourse 90 percent of the time," says Garfield. "But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact 15        of our goal. This allowed us to 16        adjustments as necessary."Knowing where we want to go 17        us judge the im?portance of every task we undertake.

Too often we believe 18        accounts for others' success is some special secret or a lucky break (机遇) .But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again,we see that by doing 19        things within our grasp well,large rewards 20       .

本文是一篇富有哲理性的议论文。作者从我们身边琐事谈起,深入浅出地说明了一条道理:要成就一番大事业,必须从小事做起。1. B本题有一点点难度,需仔细分析句子成分。

this在这作宾语。不能选it作形式宾语代替后面的that从句,因为that引导的是一个定语从句,修饰先行词applications ,并作主语。

A和D均不能用在此处。

2. D该空的四个短语的意思是:come true实现,达到;come into being形成,产生;come over过来,抓住;come across来到,偶遇,交付。故应选择D项。

3. C "正是不注重小节,许多求职者自己把自己淘汰出局"这一现象令人吃惊,而不是"令人兴奋和感兴趣"。

B项的"疑惑"也不对。不是对此不解,而是令人不安、吃惊和震惊。

4. C此处arrive意为"递交上来的",不要误理解为本空是go with这一搭配的短语;另两个选项不符合句意。

5. A此句的意思是"有些求职者竟然嫌麻烦把要应聘的公司名称拼写正确"。

B是不喜欢,C是不同意,D是不关心,都与题意不符。

6. D上下文有多次提示,我们身边的小事、小节均使用details—词。

7. B根据空后的with a job可知give,offer均不能用在此处。

believe仅是相信的意思不符合题意。而trust除了信任以外,还有给予、提供的意思。

8. C此处的struggle over是"关于什么的斗争";而不是"为什么、与什么"以及"反对什么的斗争"。请见下面的例句:Their struggle over prices finally ended in a satisfactory settlement.他们关于价格的斗争最后得到了令人满意的解决。

9. A keep from是"防止、阻止"之意。其他选项与此处不符。

10. D本句的意思是"……与这幅图画配得怎么样"因此要选D项。

C项whether有一定干扰,不过我们还是可以从句意上来做出正确的判断。不能理解为"是否配得上"。

11. B suit是及物动词,不需要跟into连用;get into与句意不符;adapt要与to连用。故应选B项。

12. C此处drop意思是"放弃;断绝(往来) ;停止同某人交往"之意。如:He seems to have dropped most of his friends.他好像与大多数的朋友不再来往了。

A、B两项不符题意。

D项give in为不及物动词词组,不能用在此处。

13. A compare只与with或to连用。意为"与

……相比较","把……比作"。此处应选A项。

14. A A项是指火箭的"发射",其他与句意不符。

15. D D的意思是"坐标",句意为"我们目标的精确坐标或定位",A选项就成了"目标的目标"不对。

B项是"安排",C项是"决心" 都与句意不符。

16. B此处是一词组make adjustments to sth. 其他选项均不符合题意。

17. C请注意选空后原形动词的形式,据此可排除B和D项。

benefit是不及物动词,需介词from连用,不符合本题的要求。

18. A注意后面的is,本空要选填主格代词作主语。

that在名词性从句中仅起连接作用,在句中不作任何成分。而which和as都是要连接定语从句,在此处不妥。

19. D上下文有多次提及,身边的小事要用lit?tle,此处不用few。

20. B bring和produce都是及物动词与本处不符,本句的意思是"只要我们做好力所能及的身边小事,回报就会随之而来"。 succeed 一词与句意不符。

 It seems an unlikely route to the top. Some say medicine might help. But a study says,

  "Who needs brainboosting drugs when you've got ancestors?" Researchers have discovered that,considering your origins gives a better sense of control and can largely boost your chances of success in exams.

  The socalled "ancestor effect" appears to work by acting as a reminder to the brain that seemingly impossible barriers can be overcome. Psychologists think the effect may be rooted in the fact that those,who familiarize themselves with their family history,appear to gain a stronger sense of identity and selfesteem,which somehow boosts intellectual performance.

  In intelligence tests on 80 volunteers,scientists found a noticeable improvement among those who were asked to spend a short while considering what previous generations of their fami?lies had suffered. Those who simply had to recall a more ordinary memory did not fare well.

  The findings suggest remembering the hardships of grandparents,great grandparents and even longforgotten ancestors,seems to have a direct benefit on the brain's ability to meet the demands for its intelligence.

  Researchers reported, "Our ancestors managed to overcome lots of problems,such as bad illnesses,wars,loss of loved ones and economic problems. So when we think about them,we are reminded that humans who are genetically similar to us can successfully overcome a plenty of problems and misfortunes."

  To test their theory,the scientists tested 80 students. They were asked to spend five mi?nutes thinking about their ancestors or a recent trip to the shops. Immediately afterwards,the students were asked how confident they felt about upcoming exams. Those in the two groups that remembered lost generations were more confident about their chances of success. The students then underwent a range of intelligence tests. In one,the"ancestor effect" boosted scores to 14 out of a maximum16,compared with just 10 out of 16 in the other group.

Whenever people are in a situa?tion where such performance is extremely important,such as exams and job interviews,they have an easy technique to increase their success."

iy China's first aircraft carrier began sea trials Wednesday,marking a milestone in the country's rapid military modernization and longterm strategy to challenge U. S. military su?premacy in Asia and project power far beyond Chinese shores.

The 300-meter-long carrier,based on an empty hull bought from Ukraine,sounded its horn three times as it ploughed through the morning fog around Dalian and headed out to sea,accord?ing to one witness writing on the military microblog of the staterun Xinhua News Agency.

The carrier,featuring its original skijump runway to launch fighters and a new engine and radar equipment,has been undergoing refurbishment (重新装备) for the last decade in the north?eastern port.

Xinhua said the sea trials " would not take a long time”,without giving details of the exact duration or say what sort of tests would be carried out. " After returning from the sea trial,the aircraft carrier will continue refit and test work," it said.

The provincial Maritime Safety Authority said on its web site that all vessels will be barred (被禁止的) from entering a small section of sea off Dalian until 6 p. m. local time Aug. 14.

The launch had long been expected as final preparations of the vessel―which has yet to be named by China ― were visible from many points around Dalian and had been regularly photographed and documented online by amateur enthusiasts.

A Chinese company purchased the empty hull of a carrier called the Varyag from Ukraine in 1998 on the understanding that it would be used as a floating casino,but it was later towed (4& 曳) to Dalian via the Black Sea,the Mediterranean and the Straits of Malacca.

China officially acknowledged only last month that it was refurbishing the vessel,and tried to ease regional concerns by saying it would be used for "research,experiments and training" and would take a long time to become fully operational.

China is the only one of the five permanent members of the U. N.Security Council,which includes theU. S.,Britain,FranceandRussia,without an operational carrier.IndiaandThai?landhave a carrier each,whileJapanhas one that carries helicopters.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it high?ly,believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad;that it sets one. person against another;that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their selfworth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them,playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their singleminded pursuit (追求) of success; the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However,while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed,others take an opposite atti?tude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players,they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people,I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying,they always have an excuse:"I may have lost. But it doesn't matter because I really didn't try. " What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost,that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly,this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (緩解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

(   ) 5. What is the main meaning of this passage?

   A. Some people value competition highly to set up selfrespect.

   B. People have different opinions about competition.

   C. Competition sets one person against another.

   D. Some people seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.

(   ) 6. Why do some people think highly of competition according to the passage?

   A. It does good to push society forward.

   B. It helps to gain selfrespect.

   C. It improves personal life attitude.

   D. It strengthens personal relationship.

(   ) 7. The true competitors also have a wrong belief that they think        .

   A. one's worth lies in how well one performs compared with others

   B. one's success in competition needs great responsibility

   C. competition is the only way to prove themselves

   D. other human qualities are not fully necessary

(   ) 8. Which of the following can best describe the writer's point of view?

   A. Everyone should try to win or achieve success in competition.

   B. Different opinions towards competition should be encouraged.

   C. Playing well and winning are really a life-and-death matter.

   D. Trying though losing is quite a different matter from even not doing anything.
