解析:
本文是叙述怎样写求职信。
1. A。表示“清楚地”说明你想要找的工作。
2. B。根据前面“你的能力是什么”，可知后面是“你已经‘做’了些什么工作”。
3. C。根据后面的 any necessary facts 判断，不要“遗漏”任何必要的事实。
4. D。keep in mind 是固定短语，意思是“记住”。
5. C。表示可能，后面跟不定式只能用 likely，其余选项都不正确。
6. D。根据下文的主句判断，前面是条件句，因此选 if。
7. B。从后面主句中 the rest of the letter may not be… 可得出答案，如果前面的一些句子不能“赢得”读者的注意的话。
8. D。根据上文，如果起初几句话不能引起读者注意的话，其余部分就可能不会再“读”了。
9. A。根据前面两个 to 得出答案。
10. A。因为是应聘者，所以在报纸上看到的是“广告”。
11. C。根据上文，应聘者是从报纸上看到的招聘广告，经过“研究”之后才来应聘的。
12. D。根据后面的 product(产品)判断应是“使用”。
13. A。根据下文判断要弄清楚具体应聘的工作，以“避免”笼统性。
14. B。根据上下文所叙述的是“应聘”之事可得出答案。
15. D。根据句意“在信中提供的是什么”得出答案，而supply是“供给、供应”不符句意。
16. B。根据前面的“first”一词判断答案是“beginner”。
17. D。根据句意“你做的任何工作可称做“经验”(experience)得出答案。
18. A。根据下文得出答案“为了应聘‘做’一些特殊的要求或需要”。
19. D。根据后面“随信内附一个贴有邮票，写有你的地址的信封”是一个好的“建议”。

Or he will fall asleep on the shoulder of the stranger 5 next to him. 6 place where unplanned short sleep 7 is in the lecture hall where a student will start snoring (打鼾) so 8 that the professor has to ask another student to 9 the sleeper awake. A more embarrassing (尴尬) situation occurs when a student starts falling into sleep and the 10 of the head pushes the arm off the 11 , and the movement carries the 12 of the body along. The student wakes up on the floor with no 13 of getting there. The worst time to fall asleep is when 14 . Police reports are full of 15 that occur when people fall into sleep and go 16 the road. If the drivers are 17 , they are not seriously hurt. One woman's car, 18 , went into the river. She woke up in four feet of 19 and thought it was raining. When people are really 20 , nothing will stop them from falling asleep-no matter where they are. | ||||
