16、llege, addressed a sympathetic audience. Heads nodded, in agreement when he said, “High school English teachers are not doing their jobs.“ He described the inadequacies of his students, all high school graduates who can use language only at a grade 9 level. I was unable to determine from his answers

17、 to my questions how his grade 9 level had been established. My topic is not standards nor its decline. What the speaker was really【 C1】 _is that he is no longer young; he has been【 C2】 _for sixteen years, and is able to think and speak like a mature adult. My【 C3】 _is that the frequent complaint of

18、 one generation about the one immediately following【 C4】 _is inevitable. It is also human nature to look for the reasons【 C5】 _our dissatisfaction. Before English became a school subject in the late nineteenth century, it was difficult to find the target of the blame for language【 C6】 _. But since t

19、hen, English teachers have been under constant【 C7】_. The complainers think they have hit upon an【 C8】 _idea. As their own command of the language【 C9】 _, they notice that young people do not have this same ability.【 C10】 _that their own ability has developed through the years, they【 C11】 _the new g

Since this concern about the【 C15】 _and fall of the English language is not【 C16】 _as a generational phenomenon but rather as something new and【 C17】_to to

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 In. some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive speech because the applicant (interviewee) seeks to persuade the employer (interviewer) to employ him or her. Several su

27、ggestions might prove helpful to the applicant as preparation is made for the actual interview. A job applicant has the responsibility for ascertaining certain types of information prior to the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that job relates to his care

28、er objective. It is important that the applicant be able to state his reasons for wishing to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible concerning the company. Relevant information for the applicant to locate includes such items as the location o

29、f the home and regional offices, the financial status of the company, plans for expansion, and company philosophy. Information about most major corporations is available in reference books and periodicals. After gathering information concerning the company, the applicant is ready for the interview.

30、The interviewers first impression comes from the interviewees appearance. For most interviews, appropriate dress for man is a conservative dark colored suit with a long sleeve white or light blue shirt and conservative riel For women a conservative, tailored suit or dress is appropriate. Both men an

31、d women should have neat, conservative length hair. Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal taste, many personnel directors form initial impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent college graduate, who felt himself qualified, interviewed for a public relations job.

32、However, the personnel manager considered this young mans long hair, sloppy dress, and overly casual manner unsuited for this particular position. 46 This passage is most probably written for _. （ A） an employer （ B） an applicator （ C） an interviewee （ D） an interviewer 47 A job applicant should kno

36、ll, how could I survive if I didnt? I came in contact with the British, I never felt any hostility towards them; I never wanted to cause any offense. But what have I in my turn received? Racial discrimination. This has. been embodied in countless incidents. It was in middle school that racial discri

37、mination was most obvious. I was often the victim of racial taunts. After undergoing such a humiliation, I would feel a mixture of anger and depression. However, the worst thing was knowing hell well that even if I reported this to a teacher. It would be to no avail. Outside school, racial discrimin

38、ation is far subtler. Some English its all over their face. Of course, a British person will probably think Im paranoid or just too sensitive, a depressive even. Perhaps the latter may have some truth in it. Nevertheless, it is reality that has created this aspect of my character. Besides, how could

39、 the average British person possibly understand? Sometimes, doing my best does not necessarily lead to success. Often, this is not duc to myself, but duc to the environment.

43、会学家 ) tell us that we are heading for a society leisure. The trend is unmistakable. One hundred years ago, they point out a worker put in twelve or thirteen hours a day, six days a week, and week followed week without an annual vacation. But over the years the picture has changed. Today the typical

44、work week has five eight-hour days, and workers enjoy about three weeks of paid vacation every year, with the result that today me spend less than as much time on the job as people did before. In spite of this, todays worker may not feel that he has a great deal of leisure time. This is because a lo

45、t of the non-work time is taken up with fulfilling family and social obligations. For example, he feels that he should spend some time with his children every day, and if a man does physical activity in his job, that too cuts into his free time. Nevertheless, the final result is that we do have more

46、 leisure-more time free from the obligation of work or any other social requirement. Leisure is time not used to earn money or to do things around the house which save money.

47、 us the opportunity to recover from the physical and mental fatigue (疲倦 ) of work and it frees our creative talents from the pressure placed on us by the job.
