When I succeeded in becoming a part-time employee of Nokia China last summer, many friends asked me how I survived the interview.
I once asked myself the same questions. Many of my peers also __41__ for the job, including some very competitive and intelligent students from famous universities.
But why did the interviewer pick me instead of them?
Finally, __42 __ pushed me to ask the interviewers after we became colleagues. The answer was that I appeared confident but humble, responsible and communicative. They evaluated people not just on their academic certificates, but on the base of their __43__ and abilities. I happened to be the right person.
To be frank, I once felt __44__ of being a student from an unknown college, and I think this may apply to some of you. I thought my future was ruined. It was only at the time of my successful interview that I finally understood the famous saying --- “You decide where you go.”
A wide range of skills is important these days. I used to work for Master Kong. My job was to cook instant noodles for customers. I had regarded it as a piece of cake, but I failed constantly. I had to cook the noodles for the right amount of time to make them taste good. Moreover, the noodles could only remain in a plastic cup of five minutes, or the taste would be __45__.
This experience taught me never to look __46__ on anything, and always remain humble.
I also worked as a volunteer for a beach volleyball event. My job was to help foreign visitors experience the beach. I thought it would be very easy because my oral English was __47__ good. But when I went to talk with a group of foreign guests, I suddenly realized that I did not know a single beach volleyball term. I was embarrassed.
After this, I read brochures in both Chinese and English every day to learn the terms for facilities and related words. This allowed me to deliver accurate __48__ to foreigners, and I was happy to work responsibly.
After these experience, I’m more confident and I strongly believe that my fate is in my  __49__. It has certainly helped me make a giant step closer to my dream of graduating with prospects for the future. I hope my advice will benefit you as well.

Directions:   Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
If you asked me, over a year ago, to choose between the neon lights and street lights of Chengdu, I would have chosen the colourful ones without hesitation. But my experiences during the time of the severe earthquake have given me a different perspective.
In fear of the after shocks people would be constantly moving about and they stayed out of doors during the nights. When night fell and rain set in, we could feel cold, tired and helpless. But I remember one night, which changed my whole attitude to the lights of Chengdu. All of a sudden, there was a beam of yellow, then another, and another. Before we knew it, there were lights on everywhere. The sea of light had the effect of making us feel overwhelmingly secure.
I realized that the lights, which we had taken for granted before, were protecting the whole city.
Then there were the people who came to our rescue, who made every effort to protect and save lives. I saw local taxi drivers on the road all night long transporting injured people to the hospitals. I saw volunteers from other parts of China hurrying with living essentials to the worst-hit areas…
At that moment, Chengdu became a place where the word ‘love’ was being spelt in capital letters by caring people from every corner of the planet.
Reconstruction is still in progress, but I’ve already come to understand that the quality of life in Chengdu comes not from the number of its modern buildings… but from the hope, the faith, the optimism, and the determination of the people…
65.   What does the underlined word mean?
A. determination                          B. evaluation
C. destination                              D. viewpoint
66.   What did the writer think of the street lights before the earthquake?
A.      The writer thought the street lights were very important to the people.
B.      The writer believed people couldn’t do without street lights.
C.      The writer considered the street lights as something natural.
D.     The writer had no idea about the street lights.
67.   What’s the best title for this passage?
A. Earthquake                              B. Lights in Rain
C. Hope, the Lights                       D. Love of People
B
In the UK, students’ residence halls are run as profit-making business, but this can occasionally be to students’ disadvantage.
As many universities choose to contract out their hall’s management to private companies, room rents are rising and student rights are suffering.
In 2006, 55 percent of student rooms were managed by private companies --- only 27 percent by universities and colleges, the National Union of Students (NUS) has reported.
These private companies are improving the hall’s facilities in return for higher room rents. The most noticeable example of this trend is the growth in luxury halls. These are halls for students willing to pay more for larger rooms with better services.
Chancellors Court, at Edinburgh University in Scotland, is one such luxury hall. Rooms are divided between standard and large, with larger rooms costing 173 pounds each week, 40 pounds more than smaller rooms. They come with a scenic view, color TV, fast Internet connection and a modern bathroom.
Other luxury halls have private gyms for their residents. Private companies capitalize (用…以牟利) on their investment by renting out the students rooms to travelers over the summer vacation period.
But the NUS is concerned that luxury halls are affecting room rents at standard un-privatized halls. Most students in the UK pay on average 126 pounds a week for a private room in catered (提供餐饮的) halls of residence, the International Students Advice and Welfare organization has reported. According to the NUS, rent in UK halls of residence has risen by almost a quarter from 2005 to 2007.
Veronica King, NUS vice-president of welfare, wants the privatization of university accommodation to stop.
“For the students for whom luxury is not affordable, there is a significant risk that accommodation costs, coupled with the burden of complete fees, may reduce the choice of where to go to university,” she said.
Legal quarrels with privatized (私有化了的) halls may also account for some of the 10 percent per year rise in student complaints to the office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA). The OIA is an independent student complaints scheme that has authority over all higher education institutions in England and Wales.
Rob Behrens, chief executive of the OIA, said he was unsurprised by the rise in complaints. “The bottom line is that students are today more self-confident in thinking about what their rights are and what are the things they can get form the commitments they make.”
68.   Why are room rents rising in British universities?
A.      Because the world is facing a financial crisis.
B.      Because most universities are getting bored about students’ complaints.
C.      Because many universities let private companies run students’ halls.
D.     Because not all universities can meet the demands of the students.
69.   Which of the following is not mentioned about a luxury hall?
A.      Students have to pay more for a luxury hall.
B.      Students can have a good view in a luxury hall.
C.      Students can enjoy their own gym in a luxury hall.
D.     Students can have an Internet connection free of charge.
70.   Why do some students want to pay more for a luxury hall?
A.      Because they just want to show that they are rich.
B.      Because they are better served in a luxury hall.
C.      Because there are too much complaints about small rooms.
D.     Because there are no other choices.
71.   What may happen to those who can’t afford the accommodation fee?
A.      They may borrow more money from the bank.
B.      They may go to OIA for help.
C.      They may not go to college.
D.     They may go abroad for further study.
C
Today’s career assumption is that you can get a lot of development, challenge and job satisfaction and not necessarily be in a management role.
Managing others is always a tough task, but in the past that stress was balanced by hopes for career mobility and financial rewards. Along with a sizable pay raise, people chosen as managers would begin a nearly automatic climb up the career ladder to successful executive private benefits: company cars, club memberships, plus the key to the executive washroom.
But in today’s global and more competitive showground, a manager sits in an insecure (不稳定的)chair. More companies has begun to take less  management as they come to view their organizations as collections of talents rather than hierarchies (等级). There are far fewer steps for managers to climb. Also, managerial jobs demand more hours and headaches than ever before but offer slim, if any financial paybacks and perks.
Now managers must manage many people who are spread over different locations, even over different continents. They must manage across functions with, say, design, finance and marketing.
In many companies, when the most praised people in business are those launching something new, management seems like an invisible, thankless role. Employers are looking for people who can do things, not for people who make other people do things.
Moreover it may not pay to be a manager, at least not the way it once did. Ms. Chmielewski says, “The emotional rewards can be great, and there were times when I enjoyed management. But a 10-to-11-hour day and one weekend day a month is the norm (标准)”.
With more people cautious of joining management, are companies being hurt or worrying about developing future leaders? Not many are. While employers have fired a lot of managers, they believe many more candidates linger on at many companies. “Another reason why companies aren’t short of managers,” argues Robert Kelley, a business professor, “is that so many workers today are self-managed, either individually or via teams, they don’t need a manager.”
72.   By writing the passage, the writer seems to _____.
A. explain reasons for firing managers
B. advise people not to become managers
C. express dissatisfaction of some managers
D. encourage managers to be more competitive
73.   Compared with past, the managing job today is more _____.
A. demanding                                      B. rewarding
C. questionable                                    D. acceptable
74.   The author mentions what Ms Chmielewski says to reflect that _____.
A.      the managers’ low working efficiency makes them less paid
B.      the gain of being a manager is not as satisfactory as before
C.      she enjoys great emotional rewards of being a manager now
D.     she misses the past enjoyment of being a manager
75.   What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.      More and more people are eager to become managers.
B.      There will be more managers to be employed in the future.
C.      Employers think it easy for them to find managers in the future.
D.     Teamwork makes it possible for companies not to hire more managers.
Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A.      Take your vitamins.
B.      Remember to brush before bed.
C.      Wash your hair now and then.
D.     Get your protein.
E.      Walk it off.
F.      Eat good fats.
It is very important to keep your hair healthy. Here are five ways for you.
76. _____  Good fats are also called necessary fatty acids which the body can’t produce naturally. Eating these types of fats will help promote healthy skin, nails, teeth and hair. They can be found in the form of oil, or in food such as seeds, nuts and olives.
77. _____  Hair is nothing more than dead protein. But that doesn’t mean that it is not important. A lack of it can cause slow growth and thinning, where on the contrary, getting enough amounts can help promotes growth. Good choices to include in the diet would be eggs, lean meats, tofu, fish, yogurt and beans.
78. _____  There are a handful of vitamins that have been known to be effective for healthy hair. Some of the main ones include vitamin B, biotin, calcium, vitamins A, C and E, and iron. Other than in extra form, these nutrients can also be found naturally in citrus (柑橘类) fruits, peppers, low-fat dairy products, dried fruits, green vegetables and whole grains. A large salad can be made with the inclusion of a lot of these food.
79. _____  Getting enough exercise can help promote hair growth. Circulation to the scalp is a very important factor for healthy hair and growth. Aim to get at least 20 to 30 minutes of exercise every day. It can be walking, jogging, weight training, biking or moderate intensity activity that is enjoyable and easy to fit into your schedule.
80. _____  Right after you brush your teeth, brush your hair as well. Brushing hair fifty to one hundred strokes right before bed can help remove pollutants and dirt while also stimulating circulation. Also, natural oils are released, which will add more sheen (光泽) and oxygen to your hair.
Section D
Direction: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest words.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
Every day we meet people in a number of business and social situations. And the way we meet and greet them creates an impression. It’s important to do so in proper way, no matter whether you are introducing yourself to someone, or introducing two people to each other. To keep you aware of this, we have gathered tips on how to make a proper introduction.
²    Always stand when making an introduction.
When you are seated and someone comes up to greet you, make the effort to stand up. By doing this, you show respect for yourself and for the other person.
²    Always maintain eye contact while making an introduction.
Many people are not aware of the value of this simple action. When you make eye contact you are giving a confident image.
²    Always introduce a person of lesser authority to one of greater authority.
The most important thing to remember is to say the most important person’s name first. For example, when introducing you supervisor to a job candidate, you would give your supervisor’s name first. “Bob Jones, may I introduce Susan Lee, who has just graduated from ABC University?”
²    In a situation where rank is unimportant, an introduction is based on sex and age.
A man is presented to a woman and a younger woman to an older woman. What if you find yourself in a situation where you have forgotten the other person’s name? Start with a handshake and reintroduce yourself. By doing this, you will usually cause the other person to do the same.
However, if the other person does not take your suggestion, it is OK simply to apologize and let the person know that you can’t remember her or his name. This is not the ideal situation, of course, but it doesn’t happen to all of us. The other person should be forgiving.
81.   When you are sitting and a person comes to you, hoping to talk to you, you should ___________________________________.
82.   Why does a person need to maintain eye contact while making a conversation?
_____________________________________________________________
83.   Who should you introduce first, your grandfather or your classmate?
_____________________________________________________________
84.   If you forget a person’s name, you’d better _____________________________________________________________.

It is different when one wants to walk.
At certain times of the day there may be a lot of people on foot in London’s Oxford Street or near the big shops and stores in other great cities. But the streets near the Ginza in Tokyo are always full of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk.
The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the nightclubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are about 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and you don’t often see one that is empty. Between 11 pm and 12 pm everybody is looking for a taxi. Usually the taxi is shared by four or five people who live in the same part of the city.
Questions:
11.   For the speaker, what is the important fact about Tokyo?
12.   For the speaker, when is the worst time to be in the street?
13.   How may nightclubs are there in Tokyo?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
An underground room containing 1.5 tons of ancient coins, including some 2,000-year-old ones, has been discovered by a villager in Changzi County, north China’s Shanxi Province.
The man in Qianwanhu Village discovered the underground room with some 10,000 coins, ranging from 3 cm to 1 cm in diameter, on August 23 when he was digging a channel to place pipes for tap water, said Li Lin, an official of the Changzi Centre of Cultural Heritage and Tourism.
Most of the coins were made during the Northern Song Dynasty with the rest made during Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty.
Archaeologists said the coins were there for the following reasons: the coins were someone’s private wealth; or they were buried by ancient Chinese private banks during the war; or they belonged to rich people who buried them during war but had forgotten them.
The coins have been sent to local cultural relics authorities.
Questions:
14.   Where were the coins found?
15.   When did the man discover the underground room?
16.   How many reasons were mentioned for the coins to be there?
