摘要： A. change B. remind C. need D. leave E The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell yourself. It should state 1 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 2 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 3 out any necessary fact. In writing a letter of application, keep in 4 that the things a possible employer is most 5 to want to know about are your qualifications , your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 6 the first few sentences fail to 7 the readers’ attention, the rest of the letter may not be 8 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not 9 your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “ I saw your 10 in today’s paper, you might say “ I have made a careful 11 of your advertising during the past six months or “ I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 12 your product and why they like it. Try to 13 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 14 . College students looking for their first positions often ask “ What can I 15 in a letter? Employers want experience ----- which, naturally, no 16 has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is 17 . It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 18 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 19 is to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 20 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.

　　Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East.

　　Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ---- obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.

　　Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.

　　A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.

We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.

　　A. the government is usually the first to name a place

　　B. many places tend to have more than one name

　　C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named

　　D. people prefer the place names given by the government

What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

　　A. Change suddenly.

　　B. Change significantly.

　　C. Disappear mysteriously.

　　D. Disappear very slowly.

Which of the following places is named after a person?

　　A. Raffles Place.

　　B. Selector Airbase.

　　C. Piccadilly Circus.

　　D. Paya Lebar Crescent.

Bras Basah Road is named _______.

　　A. after a person

　　B. after a place

　　C. after an activity

　　D. by its shape

What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.

　　B. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.

　　C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.

D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.

　　Books are not Nadia Konyk’s thing．Her mother brings them home from the library, but Nadia rarely shows interest．Instead, like so many other teenagers, Nadia, 15, is addicted to the Internet．She regularly spends at least six hours a day in front of the computer, spending most of her time reading and commenting on stories written by other users．Her mother, Deborah Konyk, would prefer that Nadia read books for a change．

　　As teenagers’ scores on reading tests have declined, some argue that the hours spent surfing the Internet are the enemy of reading－destroying a precious common culture that exists only through the reading of books．Critics have warned that electronic media would destroy reading．

　　Others say the Internet has created a new kind of reading．The Web inspires a teenager like Nadia, who might otherwise spend most of her leisure time watching television, to read and write．What is different now, some literacy experts say, is that spending time on the Web engages viewers with text．

　　Web supporters believe that strong readers on the Web may eventually surpass those who rely on books．Reading five Web sites, experts say, can be more enriching than reading one book．“It takes a long time to read a 400-page book,” said Spiro．“In a tenth of the time,” he said, the Internet allows a reader to “cover a lot more of the topic from different points of view．”

　　Some literacy experts say that reading itself should be redefined．Interpreting videos or pictures, they say, may be as important a skill as analyzing a novel or a poem．“Kids are using sound and images so they have a world of ideas to put together,” said Donna Alvermann, a professor of literacy education at the University of Georgia．“Books aren't out of the picture, but they’re only one way of experiencing information in the world today．”

　　Next year, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which gives reading, math and science tests to 15-year-old students in more than 50 countries, will add an electronic reading component(软件)．The United States says it will not participate because an additional test would overburden schools．

(1)

Why are books not the thing of Nadia Konyk?

[　　]

A．

She does reading mainly through electronic media．

B．

Her mother doesn’t provide her with enough books．

C．

She has become addicted to playing games on the web．

D．

Like many youngsters, she has lost interest in reading．

(2)

How many hours does Nadia spend in front of the computer in a week?

[　　]

A．

Exactly forty-two hours．

B．

Usually fifty hours．

C．

More than forty hours．

D．

At most thirty-six hours．

(3)

Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?

[　　]

A．

To search for information on the web engages viewers without text．

B．

To explain videos is a technique more important than analyzing a novel．

C．

Children using sound and images may lose their interest in movies．

D．

People reading well online may surpass those who rely on books．

(4)

Why did the US refuse to participate in the tests with an added electronic reading component?

[　　]

A．

Because the teachers and students considered it useless．

B．

Because such a test would give schools more extra work．

C．

Because they thought reading was the only way to get information．

D．

Because none of them showed interest in such an additional test．
