19、rases that best fits the context. ( 12%) The purpose of a letter of application (求职信 ) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state clearly the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have done. It should be 46 , human, personal and brief without 47 out any necessary
20、 facts. In writing a letter of application, keep in 48 that things a possible employer is most 49 to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. If the first few sentences 50 to win the readers attention, the r
21、est of the letter may not be 51 at all. Try to key your 52 remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not to your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “ I saw your advertisement (广告 ) in todays newspaper”. You might say “ I have made a careful 53 of your advertising d
22、uring the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 54 your product and why they like it”. Try to be clear about the kind of job 55 you are now applying for. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I provide in a lett
23、er ” Employers want experience-which, naturally, no beginners has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is experience . It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter. 56 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or
24、expect. An excellent 57 is to enclose (内附 ) a stamped, self-addressed envelope (信封 ) with your letter. That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch with you. 46.

AD 阅读理解 E In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. Now this is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never be
27、en close by during of the birth a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member. Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we send them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit patients even when those patients are their parent
28、s. This deprives （剥夺） the dying patient of family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience. Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 in order to find out what they could t
29、each us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome. It is important for family members, and doctor
30、s and nurses to understand these patients communication in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their reat need to be info
31、rmed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to deal with the coming of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance before death. 82.The elders of todays A

A. are often absent when a family member is born or dying B. usually see the birth or death of a family member C. are unfamiliar with birth and death D. have often experienced the fear of death as part of life 83.Children in America are deprived of the chance to_.

36、ot mobile phones as Christmas gifts, and more students want them. Mary Bluett, an official, said mobile phone use is a distraction (分心的事 ) to students during school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone
37、 messages to cheat during exams. She said some schools had tried to ban mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy because they couldnt get in touch with their children. Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school, but if there was a good reason, they could leave their phones a
38、t school offices. They also said there were many reasons why the students should not have mobile phones at school: they were easy to lose and were a distraction from studies.

42、rry mobile phones 答案： 78 -81 BDAB C Sport not only is physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism (批评 ) from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive (过度的） amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be ph
43、ysical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable. The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where
44、valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to work together with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect t
45、heir children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw（缺陷） in themselves. Coaches and parents, should also be careful that youth sport participation doesnt become the work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of
46、 learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays youth sport setting(环境 ), young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches direct their attention on the outcome（ =result） and find fault with young pe
47、oples performances. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates (积极强化激励 ) and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout. 74. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is_. A. to reduce the
48、ir mental stress B. to increase their sense of stress C. to make sports less competitive D. to make sports more challenging 75.
