8、 and put your choice in the brackets below the passage. Read the whole passage before making your choices. (10 points)On Wednesday afternoons Annie took the bus into town to shop in the market. For an hour or _16_ she would walk up and down between the stalls looking at everything, buying here and t

9、here, and _17_ a sharp lookout for the bargains that were sometimes to be had. And then, with all the things she needed _18_ she would leave the market for the streets of the town to spend another hour _19_ she liked best: looking in furniture shop windows.One Wednesday she found a new shop full of

10、the most delightful things, with a notice inviting anyone to walk in and look _20_ without feeling they had to buy something. Annie hesitated for a moment before stepping through the doorway where, almost at once, she stopped _21_ before a green armchair. There was a card on the chair which said: “T

11、his fine chair is yours _22_ less than a pound a week,” and very small at the bottom, “Cash price eighty-nine pounds fifty.” A pound a week. _23_, she could almost pay that out of her housekeeping money and never miss it! A voice at her shoulder made her _24_. “Can I help you, Madam?” She looked rou

12、nd at the assistant who had come softly to her _25_.“Oh, well, no,” she said. “I was just looking.” “Weve chairs of all kinds in the showroom.

15、ice in the brackets on the left. (10 points)Text 1There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in gre

16、at area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists.” And these “generalists” are particularly ne

17、eded for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other peoples work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained” man; a

18、nd his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist - and especially the administrator - deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely

19、is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period

20、, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you - but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time y

21、ou must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.26.There is an increasing demand for _.A all round people in their own fieldsB people whose job is to organize other peoples workC genera

22、lists whose educational background is either technical or professional（B）D specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others27.The specialist is _.A a man whose job is to train other peopleB a man who has been trained in more than one fieldsC a man who can see the fores

23、t rather than the trees（D）D a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters28.The administrator is _.A a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalistB a man who sees the trees as well as the forestC a man who is very strong in the humanities（C）D a man who is an “educ

24、ated” specialist29.During your training period, it is important _.A to try to be a generalistB to choose a profitable jobC to find an organization which fits you（D）D to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist30.A mans first job _.A is never the right job for himB should not be

25、regarded as his final jobC should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job（B）D is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobTest 2At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, until recent times, unknown to m

26、an. It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps. Man has explored, on foot, less than one per cent of its area. Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean, cov

27、ered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined, centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world - the Atlantic, Pacifi

28、c, and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre, thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions. This cold air current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and rend

29、ers unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited. Thus, more than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia - a region rich in forest and mining industries.
