Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation (卫生) and lack of employment, bring about a

2、n increase in poverty, disease and crime. The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay. One possible so

3、lution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce (推行); it would cause a great deal

4、of resentment (不满), which would ultimately lead to violence. The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rura

5、l areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved.

10、managers to conduct initial screening interviews over the phone. This saves them considerable time and moneyespecially if a candidate lives out of town. Don“t take these interviews lightly. “It is important to prepare for a telephone interview just as you would for a regular interview,“ said Alison

11、Doyle, a job search specialist. The employer will normally call or e-mail you in advance to set up an interview time. If possible, arrange for the interview to be over a landline phone, as it tends to be more reliable than a cell phone. Make sure that children, pets and other sources of interruption

12、 will be out of the room. Keep a glass of water nearby. Phone interviews can often last a half-hour to an hour, Ms. Doyle said; be sure to have your resume in front of you, along with a list of your accomplishments.

18、e and take screening interviews2Borrowing to start a business is not easy. Getting a bank loan, particularly for a new small business, is like going through the eye of a needle. Banks favor established business people with a solid credit rating and a large bank account. They should also have experie

19、nce in the business they propose to enter, and offer well-prepared business plans that show the ability to repay the loans. If you are not such a person, then you need to double your preparations to convince the banker to lend you that much needed start-up capital. If your business is new and small,

20、 bankers will need to know as much as possible about you and your business. However, many small business owners often make the mistake of not being well prepared when going to the bank to apply for the loan. Surprisingly, many loan applicants don“t even have the slightest idea how or when they inten

21、d to repay the money they request. Often they don“t even know how much money they need. When asked how much money they want to borrow, many people give these two common responses: “How much money can I get?“ and “As much as possible.“ Is it any wonder that lenders say no? So the most important thing

22、 is do your homework before you ask for a loan.（分数：5.00）(1).By saying “Getting a bank loan. is like going through the eye of a needle“, the writer emphasizes _.（分数：1.00）A.the ability to borrow from a bankB.the importance of borrowing moneyC.the difficulty of getting a bank loanD.the start-up of a ne

26、know the upper limit of the loanHow words came into being is unknown. All we assume (推测) is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called

27、 letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words. The power of words, then, lies in their associationsthe things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by exp

28、erience; and the longer we live, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in

29、 words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style (文体). Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears, We

30、should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.（分数：5.00）(1).Do we know how words came into being now?（分数：1.00）A.Yes.B.No.C.Not a little.D.Quite well.(2).We learn from the text that language might have begun with_.（分数：1.00）A.
