The reason London taxi drivers are so 40 is that they have all gone through a very rough training period known as “the knowledge” to get the special license （许可证） 41 to drive taxis. During this period, 42 can take from two to four years, the would-be taxi driver 43 learn the most 44 route to every single road and to every important building in London. To 45 this, most learners go around the city 46 small motorbikes, practicing how to move to and from different points of the city.
Going around London on a small motorbike can have its problems, particularly during the winter. Collin Sinclair, 40, who has been a taxi driver for 15 years, described his 47 period as a time of 48 , sweat and tears. “There was thick snow everywhere and I had to 49 my mother’s tights (紧身裤) because I was so cold,” he said.
Learner taxi drivers 50 several times during their training period 51 government officers. Sinclair thought his exams were a nerve-racking (伤脑筋的) experience. “The officers 52 you, ‘How do you get from Buckingham Palace to the Tower of London?’ and you have to take them there in a very direct line. When you get to the Tower, they 53 say, ‘Well done.’ They will quickly 54 the next question.

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with word or phrases that best fits the context. ( 12%)
The purpose of a letter of application (求职信) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state clearly the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have done. It should be 46 , human, personal and brief without 47 out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in 48 that things a possible employer is most 49 to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. If the first few sentences 50 to win the reader's attention, the rest of the letter may not be 51 at all. Try to key your 52 remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not to your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “ I saw your advertisement (广告) in today's newspaper”. You might say “ I have made a careful 53 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 54 your product and why they like it”.
Try to be clear about the kind of job 55 you are now applying for. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I provide in a letter?” Employers want experience---which, naturally, no beginners has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is experience .
It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter. 56 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 57 is to enclose (内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope (信封) with your letter. That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
46. A. rough B. simple C. complex D. numerous
46. A. sending B. taking C. leaving D. picking
48. A. mind B. sight C. contact D. touch

Ⅲ．Reading Comprehension
Section A
Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one’s intelligence．But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people．
The so-called “non-intelligence factors” include one’s feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits．After a 30-year follow up study of 8,000 males, American psychologists50that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence51 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence．
52people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to 53 these factors．
Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies．They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition（营养不良） or laziness, but they never take54consideration these non-intelligence factors．At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these, as reasons55students do poorly．They simply give them more courses and exercises, or56 criticize or laugh at them．After all, these students lose self-confidence．Some of them just feel defeated and57themselves up as hopeless．Others may go astray（堕落）because they are sick of learning．An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46．5 percent of them were58of learning, because of examinations, 36．4 percent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10．3 percent were sick of learning．
It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main 59
to intelligence development in teenagers．It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 60 development among a few students．
If we don’t start now to61the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the intelligence of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation．Some experts have put forward62about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors．
First, parents and teachers should63understand teenage psychology．On this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning， 64their interests and toughening their willpower．
