3、iet. Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area. Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardeni

4、ng tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening. One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for . A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and p

5、rofitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the gardener can work in it whenever the

6、y are free. Soils for vegetables should be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage and good aeration(透气). Usually the home owner has little choice in the type he can choose.

11、ere men. Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A mans secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wifes birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did no

12、t wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand. Now all this may be changing again. The microchip(芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical(文书的) work that secretaries did. “Once office technology takes over general

13、ly, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work and then men will want to do it again. “ That was said by one of the executives(male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the U. S. Once high tec

14、hnology has made the job of secretary less routine (乏味的) , will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs.

15、sss wife, but because they are as efficient and well trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.（分数：10.00）(1).Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they_.（分数：2.00）A.were less efficient and less trained than menB.were looked down upon by menC.would have disturbed the other o

For most of its history, life on Earth was restricted to the sea. Living things began to populate the land slightly over 400 million years ago. An

19、d humans have existed for no more than 3 million years. One way to represent the evolution of life is to compress the 4. 6-billion-year history of Earth into a 1-year-long film. In such a film, Earth forms as the film begins on January 1, and through all of January and February it cools and is crate

20、red(变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remain lifeless until sometime in March or early April, when the first living things develop . The 4-billion-year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November, when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into c

21、omplex organisms such as trilobites(三叶虫). If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear on about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve,

22、 as mammals (哺乳动物) and birds flourish. Throughout the 1 -year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. On the early evening of December 31, vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and

23、by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until about 11:45 p. m. , and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11:54 p. m. The Christian era begins only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with one sec

24、ond to spare.（分数：10.00）(1).In comparing all of Earths geological evolution to one calendar year, the author shows（分数：2.00）A.just how recently humanity has arrived on the sceneB.just how simple it is to understand the history of EarthC.just how early humanity appears on planet EarthD.just how difficu

25、lt it is to understand the history of Earth(2).According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms（分数：2.00）A.in the middle of DecemberB.when Earth is crateredC.at the beginning of NovemberD.when the land is still a lifeless waste(3).It is indicated in the passage t

28、ing the unemployed 23% longer to find a new position than it took during the last recession (经济萧条) , when the “benefits“ of online job searching were unavailable. “A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing(浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5 ,000 online job sites, filling them with resum

29、es, and then waiting for replies. It is common for long-time joblessness,“ argues Professor John A. Challenger. Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many, Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to the tra

30、ditional technique of meeting would be employers in person. In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online resume site, 72% said that a majority of the resumes they received in response t

31、o an online job posting did not match the positions description. “The more unrelated resumes managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position,“ points out Challenger. “ One result of this has been the increased use of screeni

32、ng software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers to get their resumes in front of the hiring executive for an interview. “ “ All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, fo

33、r example. , to search for job openings in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches has reduced the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking. “ “ Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool, rather than just relying on it as a means for

34、 submitting electronic resumes. “ concludes Challenger.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings_.（分数：2.00）A.longer waiting time for the unemployedB.longer computer technology training for the job seekersC.more unemployment throughout the USAD.more job opportu
