【解析】试题分析:短文大意:本文叙述了人不同于动物,人会说话而动物不会说话。动物害怕或不高兴时会发出噪音。因为动物没有语言,他们不可能像我们一样思考。科学家也弄不明白当人说话时,人体内部发生了什么。
【1】句意:他会思考和说话。与languages连用,表示说语言。所以填写动词speak,讲。
【2】句意:科学家曾经认为人脑与动物的大脑不一样,因为人会思考和说话。根据句意前后是因果关系,所以填写连词because,因为。
【3】句意:他们开始理解到人不同于动物,因为人会说话。结合句意,所以填写动词understand,理解。
【4】句意:动物害怕或不高兴时会发出噪音。make noise 发出噪音。所以填写名词noise,噪音。
【5】句意:但是他们不会连词成句。join words to make sentences. 连词成句,所以填写名词words。
【6】句意:因为他们没有语言,他们不可能像我们一样思考。根据they have no language. 可知他们没有语言,我们会说话,因此此处指他们不像我们。所以填写介词like,像。
【7】句意:因为人类有语言,他们能建造一个现代的世界。be able to 能够,会。所以填写able。
【8】句意:每个孩子四五岁时说自己的母语说得很好,结合句意,所以填写副词well,好。
【9】句意:但是动物没有学会说话。前一句说人说自己的母语说的好,后一句说动物不会说话,这是转折关系,所以填写连词but,但是。
【10】句意:科学家也弄不明白当人说话时,人体内部发生了什么。谓语动词know 后的宾语从句缺少主语,表示事物,所以填写代词what,什么。
【题目】任务型阅读
阅读下列短文,根据短文信息完成文后表格,每空一词。
One of the most common questions I am asked is whether, when, and how to follow up (跟进) after a job interview. Following up in some way is necessary. Yes, you can get a job without it, but if you’re having a competition with other top candidates (候选人), following up can sometimes help you when the other candidate doesn’t. Here’s how to follow up well:
Send a thank-you note at once. E-mail is fine for this and has the advantage of arriving faster, but handwritten notes are still appreciated (欣赏). And if there are many interviews, send a thank-you note each time.
Find out their timeline. Hopefully, you asked about their timeline in the interview itself, but if you didn’t, follow up within a week to express your interest and politely ask what they expect their timeline for a decision to be.
Be patient. Most commonly, job seekers (求职者) are too worried about the result. It doesn’t look worried to express your interest in the job or check in to ask about the timeline.
Don’t be nervous if you don’t hear from them at once. The hiring process often takes longer than you would like, maybe the man who makes the decision is out of town. If you’re past the time they decided, you would hear something, so you needn’t be nervous. Hiring often ends up taking longer than expected. Just politely follow up, explain you’re very interested but understand that hiring can take time, and ask if they have the latest timeline.
