“Oh yes,” said I —___52___having cooked for more than four in my life. I___53___her again and again, and rushed out to the___54___telephone box. I collected my thoughts, took a deep breath, and rang the number. I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for.

解析:

36. B。文章第一段已交代作者要找一份工作，所以作者在報(bào)上看到中介機(jī)構(gòu)的廣告后，就急忙沖出家門 (house) 去找這個(gè)agency。

37. C。根據(jù)后文as if I were going on the stage(好像要登臺(tái)演出)，其心情當(dāng)然是既“激動(dòng)又緊張(nervous)”。

38. C。此處與上文in search of it (the agency) 呼應(yīng)，the place就是the agency。

39. A. “Enter without knocking…”這種“simple atmosphere”使本來感到緊張的“我”也鎮(zhèn)靜下來(calmed me)。

40. B。由關(guān)鍵詞carefully, 可知選要B。既然是carefully，就不會(huì)是in a minute(立刻、馬上)。既然互不相識(shí)，作者也未曾去找過工，怎么會(huì)as usual(像往常一樣呢)？前面沒說已經(jīng)打量過作者一次了，哪來的once again(再一次)？

41. D。由下句的answered可斷定，用questioned。

42. C。由felt even more helpless可知，此處必填helpless。

43. B。作者來這里的目的就是找工作，因此，那位婦女對(duì)他為什么要找這種工作感到不解。

44. A。結(jié)合45題來看，容易選出最佳答案A來。

45. B。結(jié)合下文，特別是52和55題的兩個(gè)句子，可知作者是沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn)，而不是沒有能力，沒有知識(shí)。

46. D。when=just at that time就在這個(gè)時(shí)候。

47. B。從電話內(nèi)容看，是對(duì)方委托該中介機(jī)構(gòu)找工人，所以中介機(jī)構(gòu)的這個(gè)婦女告訴對(duì)方，“說真的，此時(shí)此刻就在辦公室時(shí)有一個(gè)人，他可能適合做這份工作”。as a matter of a fact(=in reality; to tell you the truth其實(shí)、就真的)；above all(最重要、首先); as a result(結(jié)果); in spite of(不管)

48. C。早在第三段第一句，就已交侍這是在辦公室里，現(xiàn)在來找工作的作者就在這個(gè)辦公室里。

49. C。從下文看，這個(gè)婦女告訴他第二天可以去上班了，可見，她認(rèn)為作者是適合(suit)的。

50. D。后文的“Ring up this lady. ”可知，這人婦女是寫了一個(gè)電話號(hào)碼(number)給作者。

51. A。由后文的you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people可知，cook是要選的最佳答案。

52. B。整篇文章來看，特別是結(jié)合45和55題所在的這兩個(gè)句子，可知作者一生中未曾給4個(gè)以上的人做個(gè)飯菜，故選never。

53. C。從下文rushed out to the telephone box來看，作者迫切希望得到這份工作，而這個(gè)婦女幫他找到了，他還不會(huì)對(duì)她一再“感謝”？

54. D。從rushed out來看，他急于打電話，當(dāng)然是到最近的電話亭去打。而close表示時(shí)空上的近，只能做表語，此處作定語，只好選nearest最佳了。

55. C。因?yàn)闆]有實(shí)踐經(jīng)驗(yàn)，自然要看書(reading)學(xué)習(xí)間接經(jīng)驗(yàn)了。另外，如果buying對(duì)的話，borrowing不也可以嗎？

61．        .

Dear editor,

I am a junior at university majoring（讀……專業(yè)）in law I’m interested in administrative law and plan to study it during my postgraduate years. But my dream is to be a great reporter. My question is : is it possible for me to be a reporter if I major in administrative law? I’m worried about my future. Please help me.

62．        .

Dear editor,

I am a university junior in public administration. I like English very much and I once tried unsuccessfully to change my major to English. So I decided to take the postgraduate exam and learn more English in graduate school. But since my first degree isn’t in English, it’s unlikely that I’ll be enrolled as an English major. Are there any non English majors that also offer English training so that I can master the language after graduation and find a good job?

63．        .

Dear editor,

    I was born in a remote country area in northwest China and had to give up school because of poverty, leaving my compulsory education unfinished. Afterwards, I helped my parents with farm work for four years. Then I left home and have worked as a waitress for one year in Xi’an, Shanxi Province. I am now 20, young and determined. This life as a waitress earning less than 500 yuan a month can really ruin my youth. Could you give me some advice for my future.

64．        .

Dear editor,

    I’m a freshman majoring in Japanese. I also have a great love for English and my English level is fairly good. But now I’m worried that if I take a job as a Japanese interpreter or translator in the future, I’ll lose touch with English. Is there a job that can combine both my major and my interest?

65．        .

Dear editor,

I’m in a situation that makes me very confused. I got two job offers at the same time. One is a small, private company doing foreign trade, which I’m interested in. The other is large, famous company. However, the job isn’t so related to foreign trade. Furthermore, the second company is far away from my family and friends. I have to make a choice right now. I need your help.

A．Editor writes:

It all depends on what you value most in your work. If you think your interests are the most important, choose the first company. If you value a big company’s working experience, then go with that one. Of course, you need to consider other factors, like compensation, commute time, on the job training, and family and friends.

B．Editor writes:

I have been working in media for over five years and have met lost of reporters. Actually, very few of them major in journalism. They have various educational backgrounds, including international politics, philosophy, law, even computer science. Writing a good news story is difficult. Reporters have to have a clear understanding of the issues they’re working on. Their job often requires some expertise in certain fields. So, if you’re going to be a journalist in the future, your knowledge in administrative law will surely be a plus not a disadvantage.

C．Editor writes:

Getting into an internship（實(shí)習(xí)）could be very competitive, and you’ll need to use all the sources to maximize your chances of getting in. Not only teachers, but family, friends and students a few grades above you may also be sources of information. Try them all. Actually, I think most professionals don’t like being interrupted by students asking about internships all the time. So try to locate human resources people and their e mail address and send your resume that way, instead of trying to locate them through a phone call.

D．Editor writes:

Don’t worry. And good English skills you have won’t be wasted in future. You could be a trilingual translator, which surely makes you more competitive than those who have only mastered one language. You could also find a position in a Japanese company that needs you to communicate with European or American customers. The globalized world needs more trilingual or even multilingual experts.

E．Editor writes:

You’re young and aspiring, I think you surely deserve a better life. People say education can change one’s fate. Have you ever thought about continuing your study? When I was reading your letter, I was impressed by your good English. You must be intelligent and talented. You could start learning by yourself from some high school or even primary school textbooks It might take a couple of years, but I’m sure you can eventually enter a university if you work hard. You could apple for grants（助學(xué)金）to cover your tuition and living costs. I believe your life will be back on track after you strengthen your overall abilities through higher education.

F．Editor writes:

Yes, some schools, most related to business studies, provide some English training,

For example, at University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, many postgraduate courses are taught in English and use English textbooks. Such courses include international trade and LLM（Master of Law）. You can visit some university’s websites for course details.
