第II卷(共45分) 第四部分 书面表达(共二节,满分15分) 阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求) If you’ve decided on a career in the media, you should be sick to death with people telling you how competitive the industries are. But that may mean that you will find it a little disappointing when you enter a place where perhaps no one will ask you your name, or say hello to you in the morning, and where you are being perhaps not paid to do a job. There are a number of training schemes offered across the media, which are great routes in. Simon Winder was given his start in publishing by MacMillan’s training scheme. I was sent out to Africa and Asia for a couple of years, selling educational books. It was a terrible job in many ways but interesting training,” said Winder. Because he had learnt first-hand experience about the business of publishing, his training prepared him for a career in the industry. On his return to England, Winder made the move to a senior position at Penguin seven years age. If you can’t get on to a training scheme, or get a paid job straight away, then ______________ will open up many opportunities to you. It is all about proving that you can do the job. “Identify companies and people whose programs you like, and then simply write to them,” Cinneck advised those wanting to break into television,” Offer to work for free if you possibly can, and the chances are you will impress with your hard work and ideas, and end up staying on in paid employment. That’s how practically every employee of Ten Alps ended up with the company. Wherever you start out, if you work hard at what you do, your efforts will be rewarded. “Don’t focus on where you want to end up,” advised Ross, “You’ll know where that is when you’re there; just stay focused on the job in hand, and do that as well as you can.” 76. Fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.) ___________________________________________________________________________ 77.

(Please answer within 10 words.) _________________________________________________________________________ |

B When it comes to romance(浪漫), women prefer someone who is humorous while men choose those who catch their eye, according to an international survey. The survey, done in 16 countries by Canadian romance publisher Harlequin Enterprises, asked men and women on six continents about personality they liked or disliked and how they went about trying to meet Mr. or Ms Right. The survey showed differences between countries in the way people tried to impress the opposite sex. Australians and British men frequently admitted drinking too much, while about half of German and Italian men said they had lied about their finances. Spaniards(people in Spain) were the most likely to use sex to catch someone’s attention. Eighty percent of Brazilian and Mexican men said they had lied about their marriage or romance as did 70 percent of German women, the survey said. When it came to meeting that special someone, a majority of respondents(被告) preferred to rely on friends for introductions. The Internet was not a popular hunting ground except in Portugal, where about half the surveyed men and women would like to find people online. There was a gap between the two sexes in Spain and France. Thirty percent of Spanish men, but no Spanish women, looked for love online. In France, 40 percent of men but only 10 percent of women attended parties, bars and clubs to meet someone, but they did have one thing in common: both sexes regarded looks as more important than their counterparts(相对应的人) in other countries. When it came to that first meeting, a majority of men surveyed said beauty was more important than brains, while women put a sense of humor at the top of their list. Physical attraction was the most important for men in France, Brazil, Greece, Japan and Britain. And while 40 percent of Portuguese men regarded intelligence over looks in a first meeting, no Australian men did so. In the United States and Canada, humor was considered the most important personality by men and women, getting 63 and 73 percent of the vote respectively. 55. Appearance is the most important for men in the following countries except in ___________. A. Britain B. Japan C. France D. Spain 56. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Portuguese enjoy looking for love online best. B. Humor is considered the most important personality by both Americans and Australians. C. Brazilian and Mexican men like to lie about their finances. D. Few people preferred to rely on friends for introductions. 57. Which is NOT mentioned as the standard of looking for love in the passage? A. Humor. B. Generosity. C. Beauty. D. Intelligence. 58. The purpose of the writer is to tell us _________________ when choosing the opposite sex. A. the differences between men and women in different counties B. women prefers humor while men prefers beauty C. not all men prefer beauty to brains D. love is more important than anything else |

C At one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurse. Today, however, America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I. Recently about 2,000,000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages large enough to threaten(="say" that you will hurt somebody if they don’t do what you want) the quality of care provided. The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field. What has become of these women in white? The answer lies in not one but several causes. One possibility is the fact that women have greater career options(职业选择). In the past, women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. Today, more women than ever are in the work force, but their choices have greatly increased. There are women doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers. In fact, women today are found in nearly every field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status(地位). A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as “just a nurse”. Teachers may be also at fault. Many high school students are actually being steered(劝导) away from nursing, told by teachers that they are “too bright to be a nurse”. Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. In fact, the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years. Obviously a larger population requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing care. Usually fatal diseases mean long hospital stay, that is to say, more nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years. 63. Why is America facing its worst nurse shortage? A. Because American health conditions are becoming worse and worse. B. Because more and more women prefer to be teachers and doctors. C. Because women have been provided with many different jobs. D. Because women no longer choose to be nurses. 64. The passage tells us that high school teachers are at fault for ___________. A. not mentioning the worst nurse shortage in the US B. introducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their students C. not asking the government to raise the nurses’ payment D. persuading the students not to be nurses 65. The author wrote this passage in order to __________. A. describe the unequal treatment of women in the US B. warn people to pay more attention to the nursing problem C. tell us women’s free choice of jobs today D. call on women not to be nurses 66. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. High school students think themselves too bright to be nurses. B. Women in the US have greater career choice than those in other countries. C. Of all the hospitals in the world 60 percent more nurses are badly needed. D. Nursing used to be a popular job among women. |
