第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。
[1] My daughter did an experiment for me two summers ago. She applied to job openings she’d found on a couple of big online job boards. She mailed the applications and waited. And waited. After sending out 100 resumes(履历表), specially addressed to each organization’s human resources(HR) manager, fewer than five HR departments took the time to reply, or acknowledged receipt.
[2] What happened?
[3] Maybe in the thirty seconds or so of attention that her resume received, each HR person made a snap decision. It seemed that 95 of them were unimpressioned.
[4] Or, maybe, out of the 300 other resumes HR had received that morning, they had already scheduled a requisite（必要的） number of interviews. Or, maybe HR simply forwarded her resume to the hiring manager who was supposed to call her for an interview.
[5] Or, maybe they thought her resume was fairly generic（一般的） and they didn’t have time to figure out if she might be a good fit, with the necessary skills, attitudes, and the desire to do the job.
[6] Most likely, the real reason why she didn’t get an interview was the last one. HR didn’t have time to figure out how she would work in their company.
[7] This happens all the time. I think most job seekers make the serious mistake of thinking that all they need to do is tell the HR department what the
y did in the past.
[8] That might be OK for some hiring managers, but most want to know the answer to one question: How can this applicant help us right now? If your resume does not answer that question, or sufficiently tell a story about how you may be able to help, you won’t have a shot at the job in this market.
[9] Before you can answer that question, however, you need to do some research on the company. Find out
everything you can about the company, including the departments, the people, the products, markets, and the plans for the future.
[10] Information is power, and it is available quite easily. Don’t expect HR to figure out how you might fit into their organization. You _________ instead. This is the surest way to get the interview.
76.What’s the main idea of this passage?(within 20 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
77.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
You should tell the HR what you can do for them in your resume and then you may be able to find a job.

PART FOUR WRITING
SECTION A
Directions: Read the following passage．Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
The Chilean earthquake, measuring 8.8-magnitude, which struck early Saturday morning, released 500 times the energy of the 7.0-magnitude quake that hit Haiti (海地)last month, a geophysicist told CBS’ “The Early Show”．Tsunami warnings were issued for much of the Pacific, including Hawaii, following the quake that struck near the Chilean coast．
"When the earthquake occurred, it moved the land and then it moved the water causing the tsunami," said U.S．Geological Survey geophysicist Jessica Sigala．"And the coastal areas of Chile have already noticed the wave heights up to about 7 feet."
Sigala said Hawaiians can expect to see the waves from this tsunami around 11:20 a.m．local time (about 4:20 p.m．ET)．"So we have to wait and see how big the waves will be."
"It's not so much the height [of the wave] but it's the width, it's how long it lasts, and then it's also the speed at which it's traveling," said co-anchor Kelly Cobiella．"Correct me if I'm wrong, but these waves are traveling at the speed of a jetliner, about 500 miles per hour?"
"That's correct．It's a big block of water coming onto the land," Sigala said．
Chile has also experienced several aftershocks following the quake．
"Aftershocks are definitely another concern," said Sigala．"We always see aftershocks with a large q
uake and a shallow quake．Unfortunately, this one was both．And as of right now, we've located about maybe 15 aftershocks and those are of the larger kind．I'm sure they felt much more than that．
"A shallow earthquake just means that it happened pretty close to the surface," said Sigala．"And because of that the energy is really close to the surface, where all the buildings and people are."
50 deaths caused by aftershocks have been reported, according to the national emergency agency, adding the estimated casualties to 960.
Title: Concerns after 71
I．Tsunami:
● 72 : much of the Pacific, including Hawaii
● Cause: the earthquake moved 73
● Wave Heights: about 74
● 75 : about 500 mph
II． 76 :
● Reason: the Chilean Earthquake was a 77 and a 78 earthquake, which always have them after the major one
● Number: at least 79
● Loss caused: 80
But still there is a danger that grow
s every year．Airliners get larger．Some airplanes can hold over 300 passengers．And the air itself becomes more and more crowded．If one giant airliner crashed into another in mid-air, 600 lives could be lost．．Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down．The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London-Heathrow may handle 2500 planes a day．Not all of them actually land at the airport．Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there．
Recently such a disaster almost happened．One, with 69 passengers, had come from Toronto, and the other, with 176 passengers, from Chicago, An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other．He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb．But he made a mistake．He ordered the wrong plane to do this．Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane．They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second．The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool.
.
| A．Even a small mistake on their part could cause a disaster． |
| B．Two large jets were flying towards the airport． |
| C．Nowadays people like traveling more by air than by car． |
| D．Today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a bus motor-way． |
E． This is an example of the danger that grows every year．
F． In a word, air travel is more dangerous, we should choose others．
G． From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screen．
