It is often regarded as an adventure story or even a children‟s book. In fact Swift wrote it, in 1726, as a savage satire on the politics and customs of the day, and children‟s editions are usually adapted.Many of the Liliputian celebrities are recognizable as powerful figures in the England of Swift‟s time; Treasurer Flimnap, for example, is Swift‟s old enemy, the politician Sir Robert Walpole. The satirist cuts them right down to size.Swift wrote ironically, pouring forth poetry, letters and political pamphlets as well as satire. His rich sense of humor and sharply perceptive mind were affected by his early struggles in life and a chronic kidney complaint. The contradictions in his character resolved themselves in a love of irony, jokes, and humor; through his own weaknesses and struggles he had a profound understanding of human natures and recorded them as they were.His acid eye and sharp pen made him popular with the wits of the day. His first satire, “A Tale of a Tub”, attacking the church, was well received. The society enthusiastically embraced the quiet Irish priest.In 1745 Jonathan Swift died after five years of agony (痛苦) and madness.1. Swift wrote Gulliver‟s Travels ____.A) for the childrenB) to criticize the politicians of his timeC) for the politiciansD) to express his ambition in politics2. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A) the Gulliver‟s Travels that children read is different from the originalB) Swift was a narrow-minded personC) Many adults don‟t like Gulliver‟s TravelsD) Swift wrote two versions of Gulliver‟s Travels3. Swift‟s writing style was formed as a result from ____.A) ambition in politicsB) having many enemies in his lifeC) severer training in the schoolD) not that smooth life when he was young4. Which of the following statements about Swift is NOT true?A) He had a deep understanding of human nature.B) He died in pain and madness.C) He always had a sense of well-being.D) He was famous for his ironical and humorous writings.5. Swift can be best described as a ____.A) satiristB) priestC) politicianD) mad man2The U.S. Department of Labor statistics indicate that there is an oversupply ofcollege-trained workers and that this oversupply is increasing. Already there is an overabundance of teachers, engineers, physicists and other specialists. Yet colleges and graduate schools continue every year to turn out highly trained people to compete for jobs that aren‟t there. The result is that graduates cannot enter the professions for which they were trained and must take temporary jobs which do not require a college degree. These “temporary” jobs have a habit of becoming permanent.On the other hand, there is a tremendous need for skilled workers of all sorts: carpenters, electricians, mechanics, and TV repairmen. These people have more work than they can handle and their annual incomes are often higher than those of college graduates. The old distinction that white-collar workersmake a better living than blue-collar workers no longer holds true.The reason for this situation is the traditional myth that a college degree is a passportto a prosperousfuture. Parents begin telling their children this myth before they are out of grade school. Under this pressure the kids fall in line. Whether they want to go to college or not doesn‟t matter. Everybody should go to college.One result of this emphasis on a college education is that many people go to college who do not belong there. Of the sixty per cent of high school graduates who enter college, half of them do not graduate with their class. Many of them drop out within the first year. Some struggle on for two or three years and then give up.6. What do the U.S. Department of Labor statistics show?A) There is an oversupply of labor force and this oversupply is increasing.B) Many college graduates find it difficult to get jobs for which they were trained.C) There is a short supply of teachers, engineers and other professionals.D) There are more temporary jobs than permanent ones in U.S. companies.7. What does the author mean by saying “these …temporary‟ jobs have a habit of becoming permanent”?A) Once college graduates take a temporary job, they soon become used to it.B) College graduates have the habit of taking temporary jobs.C) Many college graduates might never find jobs for which they were trained.D) Many college graduates are not willing to change their jobs.8. What is implied but not stated in the passage is that in the past ________.A) blue-collar workers made a better living than white-collar workersB) college and graduate schools trained more skilled workersC) there were more white-collar workers than blue-collar workersD) there were less white-collar workers than blue-collar workers9. By saying “many people go to college who do not belong there”, the author means that ________.A) many people who are not fit for college education go to collegeB) many people who don‟t have adequate financial support go to collegeC) many people who go to college drop out within one or two yearsD) many people who go to college find the courses are not interesting10. We can conclude that the author believes ________.A) every young man and woman should go to collegeB) more young people should be trained for skilled jobsC) people with higher education should receive higher payD) the government should offer more opportunities for college graduates3There are many factors which influence the quality and flavor of a cup of coffee and many of them have to do with the beans: type, origin, quality, time of harvest, and roasting method and degree. The two extremes of roasts are an American Roast, where the beans are roasted and coffee will be light, and then a Viennese or French Roast in which the beans are almost burned. Coffee drinkers who favor heavily roasted flavor should buy Starbucks because they deeply roast most of their beans.The best beans and roasting techniques mean little if coffee is not absolutely fresh. Grinding speeds up oxidation (氧化) and should not be done until the coffee is needed for brewing (发酵). Even whole beans begin to deteriorate noticeably several weeks after they are roasted.The best way to guarantee consistently good coffee is to buy from a source that only sells freshly roasted beans. Oxygen causes the flavor in the beans to deteriorate so beans must be stored in an airtight container. Storing beans at room temperature away from sunlight is ideal since room temperature beans make more flavored coffee than refrigerated/frozen beans. However, room temperature beans‟ flavor starts to go downhill within a week or two as exposure to oxygen takes its toll. Storing beans in the freezer will slow down this process and is recommended for long-term storage.11. The ___ of beans may not influence the making of coffee.A) originB) time of harvestC) typeD) size12. Grinding should be done ____.A) at the time of harvestB) when the beans are to be burnedC) when the beans are to be brewedD) in the process of oxidation13. More flavored coffee can be made if beans ____.A) are stored in an airtight containerB) are stored at room temperatureC) are stored in a freezerD) are stored in a fridge14. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A) Starbucks most probably fall into the category of American Roast.B) Grinding is done first in making coffee.C) Oxidation can help accelerate brewing.D) Quality beans can guarantee quality coffee.15. When it is necessary to store the beans for a long time, it‟s better to ____.A) store them at room temperatureB) roast them before storingC) put them in the freezerD) put them in an airtight container4Daniel Defoe wrote the story of Robinson Crusoe suggested by the experience of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish sailor who quarreled with his captain and at his own request was set on an island 300 miles off the coast of Chile. There he managed to survive for five years. Rescued and brought back to England, he became a nine day‟s wonder, and Defoe went to Bristol to talk with the man. He thought over the story for seven years. By that time Selkirk, the brutish, rude sailor, had become the resourceful, courageous Robinson Crusoe. Thousands of imagined details gave the tale the illusion of reality. Defoe was the first author to use this method, and none since has ever used it more masterfully.16.

The details of the story of Robinson Crusoe are ______.A) omittedB) based on Selkirk‟s real life storyC) written entirely under the guidance of the sailorD) written as if they had really happened5There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is sometimes placed among “situation vacant”, although it does not offer anyone a job; and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted”, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.“Contact us before writing your application” or “Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae (个人简历) or job history”, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (or job history), with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right. There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. “Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams”, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, and everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest. Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach.“Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for,” was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job in view.There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.21. The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper columns ________.A) informs job hunters of the opportunities availableB) promises useful advice to those looking for employmentC) divides available jobs into various typesD) informs employers that people are available for work22. Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service has been created because________.A) there is a lack of jobs available for artistic peopleB) there are so many top-level jobs availableC) there are so many people out of workD) the job history is considered to be a work of art23. What were first-job hunters expected to do?A) To write an initial letter giving their life history.B) To pass some exams before applying for a job.C) To have no qualifications other than being able to read and write.D) To keep any detailed information until they obtained an interview.24. Later, as one went on to apply for more important jobs, one was advised to include in the letter ________.A) something that would attract attention to one‟s applicationB) a personal opinion about the organization one was trying to joinC) something that would offend the person reading itD) a lie that one could easily get away with telling25. The job history has become such an important document because ________.A) there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertisedB) there has been an increase in the number of applicants with degreesC) jobs are becoming much more complicated nowadaysD) the other processes of applying for jobs are more complicatedV. 完型填空1Mr. Green was ill and went to the hospital.
