摘要： A. wrong B. important C.true D. false SECTION C Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context. I’m interested in advertising and media. I have many options. But it’s hard to see what all these things are about until you’ve seen 48 the jobs are like. I haven’t yet applied 49 anything. I hope things will go well, 50 I know that the reality is pretty terrible. There is a lot of disappointment. You don’t walk out with a degree and find that’s it; you can’t earn lots of money. I don’t want to do any 51 just for the money and end up sending faxes all day. That’s what graduates get at the moment and it’s really embarrassing. 52 I don’t do a job that’s heading somewhere, I’ll go mad. That’s when you feel cheated, when you end up doing something like selling things by telephone. That’s desperation, and I don’t want to be 53 that situation. In quality-of-life terms, walking into an office at 8 in the 54 and leaving 12 hours later is not an attractive prospect. Even if you earn lots of money, you don’t have enough 55 to enjoy it. The best thing is to work on a project, and see something through. So you’re more focused instead of being unknown. PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. A You might say that one reason Barack Obama is president of the US is because he knows how to give a good speech. Since 2004, Obama has written and delivered thousands of speeches. These are usually praised for two reasons: he treats the audiences like intelligent adults, and he is able to express complicated ideas in a straightforward, natural way. Before becoming president, Obama was a lawyer, a college professor, and a successful writer-his two memories have become best-sellers. The skills he needed to succeed in his previous jobs have also contributed to his success as a speechmaker. What’s more, he has some secret weapons. Teleprompter: Obama doesn’t go anywhere without his Teleprompter. The textbook-sized panes of glass holding the president’s prepared remarks follow him wherever he goes to speak. Writing team: Obama has a team of people who write his speeches. The writers chat with Obama for hours about what he wants to say. They listen to recordings of past presidential addresses and seek advice from advisers. Obama usually edits and rewrites the drafts several times. Tricks for lighthearted speeches: Make fun of the guests: Obama starts his speech by gently teasing his guests. His opening lines grab the audience’s attention while giving them an opportunity to relax and laugh at themselves and each other. Make fun of yourself: A good rule for speechmakers: If you’re going to make a joke about someone else, be sure to make one about yourself, too. Obama mocks his own poor choices for filling the position of Commerce Secretary, saying, “No president in history has ever named three Commerce Secretaries this quickly. In fact, his first two nominees for the position withdrew their names for different reasons. In a process that had otherwise gone smoothly, the Obama Administration was tripped up by the problem of filling the Commerce seat.
