题目内容

Are you fond of tomatoes? Bunol, a town in Spain, held its yearly tomato festival on the last Wednesday of August. Thousands and thousands of people made their way from all corners of the world to fight in it, the world’s biggest food fight. Tons of fully-grown tomatoes were thrown in the streets.
No one knows exactly how this event started. Maybe it came from a local food fight between friends, or a joke that was played on a bad musician.
On Wednesday, at 11am, the fight began. A cannon(大炮) shot was fired to start the fight. At first, people fought one another, but slowly they began to fight in groups. After exactly one hour, the fight ended when the cannon shot was fired once more. At this point, no more tomatoes could be thrown.
Those who attend this event are encouraged to wear protective glasses. And they must press the tomatoes before throwing so that they won’t hurt others. Another rule is that no one is allowed to take anything — such as a glass bottle — into the fight. Although it is forbidden to tear(扯破) another person’s clothing, the crowd seems to tear the shirt of any clothed person, whether they are men or women.
Fire trucks are used to clean the streets after the fight with water provided from a Roman channel (海峡). The government seems more concerned with cleaning up the town than the visitors, and people go to the Bunol River for a wash.
【小题1】What do we know about the tomato fight?

A．Nobody knows how it really started. B．Only people from Spain can take part in it. C．It is held on the first Wednesday of August. D．Green tomatoes can be used in the fight.

【小题2】When the cannon shot is fired the second time, ____.
A．people start to throw tomatoes
B．people start to fight in groups
C．the whole tomato fight is over
D．the fight has lasted for two hours
【小题3】Which is NOT one of the rules of the tomato fight?
A．People can’t use glass bottles.
B．People must wear protective glasses.
C．It isn’t allowed to tear other people’s clothes.
D．Tomatoes should be pressed before they are thrown.
【小题4】After the tomato fight, the town government ____.
A．provides water to the people
B．cleans up the streets with fire trucks
C．takes people to the Bunol River
D．holds other activities about tomatoes

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。 注意:每个空格只填一个单词。 

     When you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or career, you will find that there are several 
things needing your atten tion. Jobs and careers are fewer than you might entirely be prepared for; especially
when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about. How are you going to find the job
that you want and how are you going to avoid traps in your way? When you want to make the most out of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs. 
     One of the most important rules is, never to compromise on your requirements such that it will negatively
affect your life and peace of mind at a later stage. Keep in mind your basic expectations from a job. It might be
something along the lines of increased monetary pay ment or you might find that it has something to do with 
benefits or time off. Whatever it is that you count as your basic requirements, make sure that you do not accept a job without it. Your requirements might be difficult to get, but you have all the rights to try and a chieve them. 
     That being said, don't shy away from odd jobs that might actu ally take you to the place that you want to be
in, eventually. Some- times, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching 
and putting in a lot of efforts. And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking chances is something you might want to seriously consider. You are in a place where you are thinking about moving forward, so 
don't be surprised by what route it might take to get there. As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better than other people are during their job search. 
     If you are looking for the right career, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to advertise yourself. When you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one 
suffering for it. If required, motivate yourself and try to look at all that you possess by way of positive traits. 
Make sure that you can present your skills and abilities in the best light possi ble. If the jobs that you have set 
your sights on are challenging, set targets for yourself and work towards them in a systematic and fo cused
manner. The more efforts you put into marketing yourself, the better will be your chances of obtaining the job 
of your choice. 
     Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not shortchange yourself. This is because you will only hurt yourself by aiming low. 
     What to avoid during your job search
