VI. Reading comprehension
A. Choose the best answer (6’)
London has a new magazine which you can receive on TV, because it is on paper.
If you want to read this magazine, you have to get a decoder (解码器). Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. You can choose anything you want, from cooking to the latest sports news.
If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index (索引）page, which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100 for. Then you choose what you want to read. The news is on pages 101 to 109, so when you push the numbers you can see the news written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, if you press 181, and you can see a brightly colored weather map on the screen. Should you drive or take the train? To answer that question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It is very simple to use and the best thing about the service is that it is being updated all the time. Whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes.
London already has three services. One, transmitted(传送）by TV, is called ORSCLE. The other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX and ORACLE because they let you see facts. Though CEEFAX and ORACLE have been in use for some time, they have not been publicized(宣传). BBC engineers don’t think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with a person everywhere. However, many people would agree that this is a breakthrough(突破) as great as the invention of printing, which could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life.

The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance, attitude and manners.
A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a(n) 64 and positive attitude. When you introduce yourself, make eye contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others don't.
Try to be as 65 as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit, walk, gesture, use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language.

Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusiasm in your 66 . When you speak, look at the interviewer. Also, don't say negative things about yourself, or former employer.
Listen to questions carefully. 67 you don't understand a question, ask the interviewer to repeat or explain: "I'm sorry, but I didn't catch that." "I'm not sure exactly what you mean."
Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers know that. They don't expect you to be totally 68 and relaxed. But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.
At the end of the interview, 69 the interviewer for her or his time.

Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words. (7’)
Lunchtime was my f 70 subject when I was at school. I was really good at it. Plus, I loved school lunches.
Many students don’t u 71 my love. A lot of students bring their own lunches to school. Their mothers might make them sandwiches or leftovers(剩饭) from last night’s dinner. But not me! I couldn't wait for the schools hot lunch. At the b 72 of each month, a calendar was handed out by the teacher. On it was the hot lunch schedule for that month. I used to circle the days I was excited for chicken wings, French fries. Every Friday they served pizza. With the lunches they sometimes had little potatoes.
I loved w 73 in line and talking with my friends. For only S 1. 35 which is very cheap, you would get a tray(托盘) with d 74 foods on it and a cup of milk. I always got chocolate milk. But don’t tell my mother, she didn't know. Then you'd carry your food to your lunch table and sit down with your friends. Boys rarely sat with girls. We'd talk about sports and TV a 75 we ate lunch. When we finished we usually played a game with a paper football until we got in trouble.
In school lunch was m 76 than a time to eat. For me it was the best part of my day!

So China has built a new Great Wall across the northern part of China. This time, it is a"Great Green Wall"of trees, millions of trees. The Great Green Wall is 7,000 kilometers long, and between 400 and 1,700 kilometers wide. The Great Green Wall will stop the wind from blowing the earth away. It will stop the sand from moving towards the rich farmland in the south. It has already worked. But more "Great Green Wall” are still needed, and not only in China. They must be built all over the world.
