Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.

One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment(約會) was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre(輪胎) of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.

Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of job hunters waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease(油漬) on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the job hunters left the interviewer’s office with disappointment. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.

Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.

“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a worker who is worth trusting. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.

1.Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?

A. He was out of work B. He was bored with his job

C. He wanted a higher positionD. He hoped to find a better boss

2.What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?

A. A friend’s car had a flat(癟的) tyre

B. a wild man was pushing a car

C. a terrible accident happened

D. an old man’s car broke down

3.How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question?

A. He was sorry for the other job hunters

B. There was no hope for him to get the job

C. He regretted (后悔)helping the old man

D. The interviewer was very rude

4.Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?

A. He was also to be interviewed

B. He needed a traveling companion

C. He always helped people in need

D. He was thankful to Jimmy

5.What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience?

A. Where there is a will, there’s a way

B. A friend in need is a friend indeed

C. Good is rewarded with good.

D. Two heads are better than one

閱讀下面短文回答問題,然后將答案寫到答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上(請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求)。

〔1〕There are many useful suggestions and pieces of advice that can help one to improve English. Here are some useful suggestions and new tips to increase one’s English language vocabulary.

〔2〕Learning English vocabulary is about much more than just learning the right words. A broad grasp of vocabulary in the English language is based on understanding important expressions and “word combinations”, which means groups of words that often or always go together.

〔3〕Learning a word will not help very much if you quickly forget it. Research shows that it takes from 10 to 20 repetitions to really make a word part of your vocabulary. Since most words are learned from how they are used in context (上下文), the more words one is exposed to(接觸), The easier one will find English to learn . Keep a writing pad close to you. When you read, pay close attention to the word you do not know, write the word down and try to figure out its meaning from the context. Then_______________________ in a dictionary.

〔4〕Remember that if you do not use English words that you have just learned in conversation or writing, you will forget them very quickly. So the best way to learn new words effectively is just by trying to use them in conversation and writing. Remember also that practice is the key to fluent spoken English.

〔5〕Building vocabulary is a life-long task. Remember, “In the beginning was the word.” Your future could depend on how rich your vocabulary is. It will also determine the quality of your communication.

1.What is the main idea of the text? (no more than 10 words)

____________________________________________

2.Complete the following statement with proper words. (no more than 5 words)

If you want to learn new words effectively, the best way is using them ____ ____.

After a terrible electrical accident,which caused him to become both blind and deaf,the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family,especially his wife,did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

One hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw——a plough and a wall. When Mrs Edwards came running up to him,shouting to their neighbors to call for help,he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread,and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However,none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of sudden shock,perhaps,the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.

A.His wife. B.His neighbours. C.A plough and a wall. D.Many doctors.

4.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

B.Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes.
