10、 the interviewer will 25 while he interviews other applicants. At all times, you should present your most attractive 26 during an interview. You should, 27 , take care to appear well groomed (修饰) and modestly dressed, avoiding the extremes of too 28 or too casual attire (衣着). Besides 29 for personal
11、 appearance, you should pay close attention to your manner of 30 . Since speech is a reflection of personality, you should reflect 31 by speaking in a dear voice, loud enough to be heard 32 being aggressive or overpowering (盛气凌人). Speaking without a subject will not impress anyone. You should be pre
12、pared to talk 33 about the requirements of the position for which you are applying 34 your own professional experiences and interests.

And they must have 41 how difficult it is to
18、write a 42 children“s book. Either the author has aimed too 43 , so that the children can“t follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 44 the story seems to be talking to the readers. The best children“s books are 45 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 46 who hears the story
19、and the adult who 47 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 48 books like this, 49 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 50 to solve. This may be why many of books regarded as 51 of children“s literature were in fact written for 52 . “Alice“s Adventure in Wonderland“ is perhaps the mos
20、t 53 of this. Children, left for themselves, often 54 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 55 and he will 56 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children“s comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 57 of t
21、eachers and right-thinking parents. Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash children into 58 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 59 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 60 books. So I suppose we“ll just have to compromise over that bedtime s

43、语法结构上看,这四个选项中的词似乎都可以填入空格,但根据常识判断,若对方是朋友,那么你就不可能仅仅是看看而已,因此 A 项 friend 不恰当;而通过上下文,也不能发现任何线索表示你看的是一个外国人,所以 B 项 foreigner 也不恰当;D 项stranger(陌生人)可以指大街上你不认识的任何人,但从下文几句发现:你所看的是离你较近的人(about eight feet),所以在这里,C 项 passerby(过路人)要比 D 项 stranger 更符合此处的意思,因此 C 项是正确答案。A.aware B.curiousC.ignorantD.uneasy解析:解析 本题考查形容
44、词的词义和辨析。A 项 aware“知道的,有意识的”;B 项 curious“好奇的”;C 项 ignorant“不知道的”;D 项 uneasy“不安的”。此空后面有一个介词 of,根据上下文,此处应填入一个后面可以连接 of 的形容词。B、D 两项后面不接 of,curious 和 uneasy 后面可以接 about,构成短语:be curious about.表示“对感到好奇”,如:Children are curious about everything. 儿童对什么都感到好奇;be uneasy about.“为担忧”,如:be uneasy about the future 对
45、前途担忧。因此,从语法上可首先排除这两项。ignorant 后面可以接 of,构成短语:be ignorant of,意思是“不知道”,如:His parents were kept ignorant of the fact that he failed in the examination. 关于他考试不及格这件事,他父母还蒙在鼓里。但是填入句子,不符合语意逻辑,故不是正确答案。aware 可以和 of 构成搭配:be aware of.,表示“意识到”如:They became aware of a peculiar smell in the room. 他们发觉房间里有一股特别的气味。填
46、入此空,符合句意“假如你看见一个路人,看着他,并使他意识到你在看着他”因此 A 为正确答案。A.soB.orC.and D.but解析:解析 本题考查语意逻辑关系。空格所在的句子是个省略句,与上句并列。由上文可知“如果你看得太少,显得你目中无人或有点鬼鬼祟祟”;本句与上句形成对照,意为“如果你看得太多,则显得你很好奇”。空格中应填入一个表示条件关系的连接词,A 项 so“因此”,表示结果;B 项 or 表示选择;D项 but 表示转折。而只有 C 项 and 在连接两个分句时,可以表示条件,因此是正确答案。A.peepB.stareC.gazeD.eye 解析:解析 本题考查动词的词义辨析。四
47、个选项的词均有“看”的意思。A 项 peep 表示“偷看”;B项 stare 表示“盯,凝视”;C 项 gaze 表示“凝视,注视”;D 项 eye 表示一般的“看”,“注视”。但是此空后面带有宾语,要求填入及物动词。前三项都是不及物动词,不正确。只有 eye 是及物动词,符合句子的语法要求,因此 D 项是正确答案。A.asideB.apart C.awayD.ahead解析:解析 本题考查副词的词义。A 项 aside 意为“在旁边”;B 项 apart 意思为“相距,相隔”;C项 away 意为“离开,远离”;D 项 ahead 意为“在前,向前”。此句意思是说“通常发生的情况是,人们互相
48、注视着,直到相距约八英尺时,双方都把目光投向别处”因此,空格中应填入 B 项 apart。A.demonstratesB.describes C.deducesD.designates解析:解析 本题考查动词的词义和用法。从后面的分句看,本题要求填入一个能与 as 搭配的动词。四个选项的动词中,只有 B 项 describes“描述,概括”能与 as 搭配,因而是正确答案。其他三个选项 A项 demonstrates“证明,说明”,C 项 deduces“推断”和 D 项 designates“指明,指出”,虽然从意思上说似乎讲得通,但都不与 as 搭配,因此都不正确。A.vagueB.obs
49、cure C.subtleD.uncertain解析:解析 本题考查形容词的词义。A 项 vague 译为“含糊的,不明确的”;B 项 obscure 意思为“朦胧的,模糊的”;C 项 subtle 意思是“微妙的,细致的”;D 项 uncertain 意为“不定的,不确知的”。本句意思是“眼睛的许多动作是如此以至于我们只是在直觉上对它作出反应”。因此只有 C 项subtle 符合句意,其他三项均不正确。A.discussionB.communicationC.greetingD.conversation 解析:解析 本题考查名词的词义。A 项 discussion 表示“讨论”;B 项 communication“交流”;C项 greeting 指“问候;致敬”;D 项 conversation“交谈;对话”。此空前面有动词 have,C 项不能与have 搭配,因此可排除掉;剩余三项都可以和 have 搭配,但是本段倒数第二句提到“just in the topic of conversation”,因此空格中应该填入 D,而不是 discussion 或 communication。A.Chances B.PossibilitiesC.OpportunitiesD.Expectations解
