17、mate(23)_ unemployment is higher and people are dying for jobs. That means you will somehow look suspicious (24)_you say about the leave. Saying the work is great but you dont like management or the pay wont go over well with employers. To them, it sounds a bit selfish and needy. No doubt, they(25)
18、(question) your ability to be patient or be a good team player.Employers dislike people who are unhappy in a job after less than a year.

22、yK. severeArtificial skin is a substitute for human skin produced in the laboratory, typically used to treat burns. Different types of artificial skin differ in their complexity, but all are designed to _31_at least some of the skins basic functions, which include protecting against wetness and infe
23、ction and regulating body heat. Skin is primarily made of two layers: the uppermost layer, the epidermis, which serves as a protection against the environment; and the dermis, the layer below the epidermis. The dermis also contains substances, which help to make the skin _32_ and maintain its biolog
24、ical functions.Artificial skins close wounds, which prevents bacterial infection and water loss and in result the wounded skin can _33_. For example, one commonly used artificial skin, Integra. functions as a support between cells that helps regulate cell behavior and causes a new dermis to form by
25、promoting cell growth and collagen(股原质)_34_. The Integra “dermis” is also biodegradable(可生物降解的). It is gradually absorbed and replaced by the new dermis.Aside from its uses in the clinical35, artificial skin may also be used to model human skin for research. For example, artificial skin is used as a
26、n alternative in animal testing. Such testing may cause _36_ pain and discomfort to the animals and it does not _37_ predict the response of human skin.

Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections： For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in
29、 each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Youve been painting for a few years, and maybe you have even sold a painting or two. Are you ready to _41_ the title of an amateur artist?Distinguishing green hand from professional artists is _42_ task. It is not just a matter of your a
30、bility to create nice paintings. Its not only about painting techniques. And for most cases, it doesnt happen _43_. Very few artists become overnight success without years of struggle and suffering.To turn professional, people find it critical to develop a personal style. What makes your paintings _
31、44_ among other paintings out there? Are your paintings standing out unmistakably directed to you as the creator? A personal style comes along with technique, painting medium, and subject and it tends to develop gradually over time. You _45_ it through unconscious and constant exploring and self-sha
32、ping. Style does not mean that you are painting the same subject or using the same painting medium. Salvador Dali used to use many artistic media, but they all have a _46_ Dali style. Style refers to the emotions and thoughts delivered by your paintings, which people can identify with. Their _47_ of

How do you find the energy to have all your time devoted to painting? _49_, we all love to do what we do and we get a satisfaction out of creating. For the professional a
34、rtist, it goes beyond that. Some artists wish to convey a deep message concerning life, society or even politics. Others simply seek _50_ returns to cover kids tuition fees or pay family bills. Yet, all professional artists know that they have to keep working to achieve the goals.Many amateur artist
35、s passively wait for _51_ to come. If they are not in the mood, they do not bother wasting the time. They sometimes allow themselves to be occupied by events like parties. Professionals are never easily _52_ or torn away from their art work in progress. Focused on their work so much, some even regar

41、ister and 42 other passengers. While flying over the mountains, the plane encountered violent airflow. Losing control suddenly, it hit an unknown mountain peak. The impact of the crash claimed the lives of a few passengers immediately, leaving many injured including my sister.Adding a slight chance
42、of being found out, we waited in the open, as opposed to waiting in the plane, even though it was freezing cold. At night, we slept side by side to keep ourselves warm and melted snow into water. We knew our food couldnt last us long, sticking to the hope that we would be rescued soon.We knew from r
43、adio that the outside world was trying to look for the missing aircraft. However, the aircraft was white and blended in with the snow, making it impossible to be seen from the sky. Later, our hope was dead when we found out via our radio that the rescue effort ended.Now climbing over the mountains o
44、urselves to search for help seemed to be our only chance of survival. Although the crash site was an awful place, with urine（尿）everywhere and smelling of death, I still wished to stay there. But my sister would give in to her injuries soon if we were not rescued. Thus, together with two other people
45、, Canessa and Vizintin, I decided to walk through the icy wilderness for help. Carrying some food and water, the three climbers started our journey. If we had known anything about climbing, we would have realized that we were already finished. The mountain we were about to challenge was one with slo
46、pes so steep that it would scare away a team of expert climbers. Our ignorance provided our only chance.We endured exhaustion and starvation and we had reached the top.To our horror, we found nothing. Disappointed, we were about to give up hope when I spotted a valley at the base of the mountain and
47、 again we started making our way down the mountain.Eventually, at the bottom of the mountain we were helped by a local farmer who called the police for help. I then guided the rescue team via a helicopter to the crash site. Finally, after we had endured nineteen cruel days, the world found out that
48、there were 16 survivors who had cheated death despite the odds.56. Why did they stay outside the plane?A. Because they didnt want to stay with dead people inside.B. Because its easier to obtain melted snow for water.C. Because they hoped to be seen by the rescue people.D. Because other passengers we
49、re against staying inside.857. Why did the author leave the crash site despite his wish to stay?A. Because he could get help from two experienced climbers.B. Because his sister might die without timely medical help.C. Because the crash site was too terrible for him to stay in.D. Because he would like to be tested by the steep mountain slopes.58.
