文章大意：招聘时，用人单位是看重大学的名气还是更注重专业技能呢？阅读本篇，感受一个农业大学毕业生的困惑吧！

1．A.lowly      B．highly

C．little       D．greatly

答案：B　固定搭配题。联系全文我们可以知道，人们对农业大学，尤其是非名牌农业大学并不看重，空前的few决定了其他答案不能入选。think highly of看重……。

2．A.well­known     B．beautiful

C. important      D．skillful

答案：A　逻辑推理题，从第三段中的“Sorry，if you had graduated from Peking University，we would take you on.”我们得知，招聘者看重的是大学的名气，而不是技能的重要性。从全文来看可排除其他选项。

3．A.greater      B．less

C．fewer       D．more

答案：D　逻辑推理题。本空承接上句而来，“很少有人看得起农业大学，尤其是非名牌农业大学”，因此我们大学的毕业生找工作更加困难。A、C不能修饰形容词比较级。B项与语意相反。

4．A.accept      B．find

C．change      D．follow

答案：B　固定搭配题。find a job意思是“找工作”。通读全文，我们可以知道，作者谈论的是大学生找工作难的问题，而不是接受工作或改变工作，因此A、C不合句意。

5．A.study      B．understand

C．change      D．follow

答案：A　固定搭配题。作者在此将农业大学与有着令人尊敬的专业的著名大学相比。从空后的respected subjects可得此答案提示。

6．A.need      B．wish

C．expect      D．hope

答案：C　词义辨析题。“预计我们大学的大多数毕业生都会被冷漠对待”，从下文一名大学毕业生的求职经历，作者作出如此预测，其他选项不合句意。

7．A.teacher      B．graduate

C．parent      D．professor

答案：B　词汇复现题。从后文“Which university did you graduate from？When the graduate...”我们得知，去求职的是一名毕业生。本文讨论的是非名牌、非热门专业大学生就业难的问题，因此A、C、D不合句意。

8．A.held      B．built

C．had       D．offered

答案：A　固定搭配题。“在广州举办的人才招聘会”。held在这里为过去分词作定语，意思是“举办”。B、D与人才交流会不能连用。have也有“举办”的意思，但不能用于被动结构。

9．A.give      B．share

C．let       D．hand

答案：D　固定搭配题。联系上下文我们可以得知，这名毕业生要参加求职面试，因此他首先要递交(hand in)他的面试推荐表。give in意思是“屈服，投降”；share in意思是“分担”；let in意思是“让……进入”，都不符合句意。

10．A.time      B．turn

C．chance      D．interview

答案：B　逻辑推理题。由前文的He joined a queue...我们知道，他是站在求职者的队伍中排队等候，因此作者说“当轮到他时”。

11．A.address     B．telephone

C．name       D．number

答案：C　前后照应题。从后文“What？I've never heard of that university.”我们得知，这名毕业生告诉他的是他们学校的校名，而不是地址或电话。

12．A.with      B．away

C．up       D．without

答案：D　词义辨析题。他甚至没有看一眼推荐表。从空后的even可以得到此答案提示。A项与语意相反，B、C两项都是副词，后面不能接doing作宾语。

13．A.books      B．subjects

C．request      D．knowledge

答案：D　前后照应题。按照常规，面试者应该注重学生的技能和学识。

14．A.pity      B．surprised

C．angry       D．sorry

答案：C　背景常识题。听了这番话，生气是正常的。

15．A.really      B．certainly

C．finally      D．proudly

答案：A　逻辑推理题。由空后问句可知，作者想知道面试者想得到的究竟是什么。

16．A.or       B．and

C．but       D．so

答案：A　逻辑推理题。这里表示选择。

17．A.much      B．some

C．many       D．most

答案：B　逻辑推理题。要得到本空的答案，我们首先要弄明白作者的态度：作者对面试者拒绝农业大学的毕业生感到极度气愤。他认为农业大学的毕业生并不比名牌大学的毕业生能力差。因此他认为，从总体上来说，只有少数的农业大学毕业生不如名牌大学的毕业生。C、D有较大干扰性。但根据作者的态度来看都不如B合适。

18．A.explain     B．mean

C．say       D．translate

答案：B　前后照应题。弄明白上空的答案此题便随之迎刃而解。some students并不能代表all of us。say的主语一般是人。

19．A.practical     B．popular

C．lucky       D．sure

答案：D　固定搭配题。“...we are going to try to do as well as those from key universities.”是作者确信的内容。

20．A.impress     B．warn

C．prove       D．disappoint

答案：A　固定搭配题。“我们要用我们的技能给雇主留下深刻印象。”C项有一定干扰性，空后的the employers决定了C项不正确；impress sb.意思是“给某人留下深刻印象”。

Ⅳ.阅读理解

People can't survive without food. Long ago, early people couldn't grow crops, so they had to live by hunting animals and gathering grains. After a tribe(部落) had lived in an area for some time, its food supply would begin to reduce. Then the tribe had to move to new hunting grounds where there was more food.

This way of life caused special problems for the tribes. They were forced to depend on luck, as well as on their hunting skills. If they could find no game,_the whole tribe would be in danger of starving. And when the hunters had good luck one day, they were not sure to find game the next time. The tribes moved often because much land was needed to support their people.

As time passed by, people learned that they could grow their food. At first, the women of tribes collected patches of wild grain. Later, people discovered that they could plant their own seeds. Farming slowly became a way of life.

As people turned away from hunting to farming, their life changed. When the food supply became richer and richer, they no longer moved from place to place. The success of their crops depended partly on the weather, but there were also things they could do to help crops grow.

In the past, a tribe had to travel many miles for food. Now, only a small amount of land was necessary to feed the whole tribe. The early tribe could grow in size because farming provided a way to feed people.

文章大意：人要生存就离不开食物，我们的祖先最初是靠种植来获取食物吗？阅读本篇了解一下种植物是如何成为人类一种生存方式的。

1．Why did the early tribes move so often?

A．They enjoyed traveling around.

B．They had to find enough food.

C．Because of the bad weather they did not like to stay in one place.

D．They liked to go hunting everywhere.

答案：B　细节理解题。根据第一段第三、四句After a tribe had lived in an area for some time, its food supply would begin to reduce. Then the tribe had to move to new hunting grounds where there was more food.可知答案为B。

2．The underlined word “game” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A．游戏      B．比赛

C．野味      D．赌博

答案：C　词义猜测题。根据第二段第二、三句They were forced to depend on luck, as well as on their hunting skills. If they could find no game, the whole tribe would be in danger of starving.得知，他们主要靠幸运活下来，如果找不到野味(猎物)，整个部落会处于饿死的危险境地。由前面hunting便知答案为C。

3．When farming provided enough food to people, ________.

A．the women didn't do any work at all

B．the tribe could grow larger and life became steady

C．they did not move at all

D．they no longer went hunting

答案：B　细节理解题。根据文章最后一句The early tribe could grow in size because farming provided a way to feed people.便知B项内容正确。

4．From the passage we can infer that ________.

A．early tribes liked moving from place to place

B．hunting was interesting in early days

C．the change from hunting to farming happened very quickly

D．life was hard and unsteady for early tribes

答案：D　推理判断题。从第一段中得知，“一个部落在某一地区居住一段时间后，食物量不断减少，该部落不得不搬到有更多食物的地方”；从第二段中得知，“他们主要靠幸运活下来，如果找不到野味(猎物)，整个部落会处于饿死的危险境地”。因此对早期的种族来说，生活是艰辛的，不稳定的。
