【题目】Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.

Famers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of running after a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox, the kill it or a hunter shoots it.

People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport. They wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict rules of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly are expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.

It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox-hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people who are against fox-hunting, because they think it is brutal(残暴的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of conflict between hunters and hunt opponents (阻止者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly opponents discourage the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.

Noisy conflicts between hunters and opponents have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as running after foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox-hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party member of Parliament(英国议会), Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.

【1Wealthy people in Britain have been hunting foxes to ______.

A. benefit the farmers B. get entertainment

C. show off their wealth D. limit the fox population

【2The opponents of fox-hunting often discourage the game by ______.

A. using violence

B. taking legal action

C. seeking help from farmers

D. confusing the fox hunters

【3A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ______.

A. protect wild animals like foxes

B. control fox-hunting on a large scale

C. prohibit farmers from hunting foxes

D. standardize the behavior of fox-hunting

【4What can be inferred from this passage?

A. Limiting the fox population is unnecessary at all.

B. Killing foxes with poison is not allowed by the law.

C. Hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent.

D. Fox-hunting causes conflicts between hunters and farmers.

【题目】阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

My daughter did an experiment for me two summers ago. She applied to job openings she'd found on a couple of big online job boards. She mailed the applications and waited. And waited. After sending out 100 resumes (履历表),specially addressed to each organization's human resources ( HR ) manager, fewer than five HR departments took the time to reply, or acknowledged receipt.

What happened?

Maybe in the thirty seconds or so of attention that her resume received, each HR person made a snap decision. It seemed that 95of them were unimpressed.

Or, maybe, out of the 300 other resumes HR had received that morning, they had already scheduled a requisite (必要的)number of interviews. Or, maybe HR simply forwarded her resume to the hiring manager who was supposed to call her for an interview.

Or, maybe they thought her resume was fairly generic (—般的)and they didn't have time to figure out if she might be a good fit, with the necessary skills, the attitude, and the desire to do the job.

Most likely, the real reason why she didn't get an interview was the last one. HR didn't have time to figure out how she would work in their company.

This happens all the time. I think most job seekers make the serious mistake of thinking that all they need to do is tell the HR department what they did in the past .

That might be OK for some hiring managers, but most want to know the answer to one question How can this applicant help us right now? If your resume does not answer that question, or sufficiently tell a story about how you may be able to help, you won't have a shot at the job in this market.

Before you can answer that question, however, you need to do some research on the company. Find out everything you can about the company, including the departments, the people, the products, markets, and the plans for the future.

Information is power, and it is available quite easily. Don't expect HR to figure out how you might fit into their organization. You __________ instead. This is the surest way to get the interview.
