II. Reading comprehension Part A Directions: Read the following passages, and choose the correct answers. (30 points)
Passage 1 Conservationists (资源保护者 ) may get a wrong number of the threatened animals such as elephants, say African and American researchers. The error takes place because of a weakness in the way they estimate animal number from the piles of dung ( 粪便 ) the creatures leave behind.
The mistake could lead researchers to think that there are twice as many elephants as there really are in some regions, according to Andrew Plumptre of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) in New York. Biologist ( 生物学家 ) Katy Payne of Corne ll University in Ithaca, New York, agrees. “ We really need to kno
elephant number and the evidence (证据 ) that we have is quite indirect, ” says Payne.
Counting elephants from planes is impossible in the vast rainforests of Central Africa, so researchers often estimate elephant number by counting dung piles in a given area. They also need to know the rate at which dung decays (腐化 ). Because it's quite difficult to decide these rates, however, researchers counting elephants in one region are likely to rely on standard decay rates set up elsewhere.

厦门大学网络教育2010-2011学年第二学期《英语2》复习题Passage 1In 1848，gold was discovered in California；from all over the nation，thousands of young men set out for California。
People called this the time of the Gold Rush.A gold miner came into a city looking for a pair of pants。
He wanted pants strong enough to stand up to the rough work of mining。
He met a young man named Levi, who sold heavy cloth for tents and wagon tops. They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their pants. Then Levi went into the business of making work pants. He asked his brothers to send him some strong blue cotton cloth called denim （斜纹粗棉布)。
With this blue denim cloth，Levi started making the kind of pants we call blue jeans today。
They were sewed up in the same way as other pants。
In 1860，a miner said that the pockets weren’t strong enough to hold the pieces of gold he found。

But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, theglass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls tool.11. Stuntmen are those who ___C___.A. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight each other for their lives12. Stuntmen earn their living by ____B__.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC. jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains13. When a stuntman falls from a high building, ___D___.A. he needs little protectionB. he will be covered with a mattressC. his life is endangeredD. his safety is generally all right14. Which of the following is the main factor (因素) of a successful performance?BA. Strength.B. Exactness.C. Speed.D. Carefulness.15. What can be inferred from the author' s example of the Norwegian stuntman? AA. Sometimes an accident can occur to a stuntman.B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.C. Parachutes must be of good quality.D. The cliff is too high.Passage 2Every weekday morning I take the 8:30 bus to go to my job. I know by sight several people who also fide that bus. Some of the girls work as maids. They get off at each stop in ones, twos or threes.But at one corner something wonderful happens. Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest house. He doesn't look at two of the maids who get off. But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!". From head to tail his little body wags his happiness. Everyoneon the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the house.One day not long ago the maid wasn't on the bus. I wondered if the dog would be waiting for her. Sure enough, he was!He stood at the back door of the bus for a minute. I could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful worry. Where was she? The driver closed the back door. The dog raced to the front door. It, too, shut in his face.Everyone on the bus felt sad. Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there!The driver couldn't stand it. He opened the door and looked down at the dog. "She didn't come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice.A man in a front seat leaned forward. "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called.The dog wagged his tail as if to say "thank you." He watched the bus as we pulled away. Then he turned to trot home ─alone. The next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again. Yes, the dog was waiting for her.The welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual. We all smiled at one another. How bright and good the morning suddenly seemed to us!16. What do the people on the bus usually see at one corner?DA. A little dog coming close to the bus when it stops.B. Two maids get off the moment the bus stops.C. A dog waiting for someone.D. A dog greets a maid merrily and follow her into a house.17. One day the maid wasn't on the bus and the dog __C_.A. didn't appearB. stood waiting at the bus stop till the bus leftC. raced about looking for the maidD. went back the moment he found the maid wasn't there18. All this made people on the bus _A__.A. awfully sorryB. greatly surprisedC. very boredD. much exited19. The next day people on the bus were happy, for __A_.A. the maid was among them againB. she would not take the same busC. she was not on their busD. she was waiting for an empty bus to come20. We can safely say this story is about _D__.A. a magic dogB. a young maid that has magic powersC. a bus that can produce magical resultsD. the close relationship between a maid and her dogPassage 3People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places. This means that cities with large populations have the biggest problem of dirty air. Air pollution is caused by many different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes from cars. Statistics show that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity is used in the city than in the country.On the average, we throw away more trash and garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the around cities. The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum production add particles to the air.The effects of air pollution range from mild headaches to death. The levels of pollution found in heavy for traffic may cause headaches for loss of clear vision. Wherever coal and oil are used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode. In some of the larger cities, these fumes endanger the live of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and causing early death.21. The key point of the passage is that __B____.A. the cause of air pollution is people。

I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phonerang.It was an eccentric(怪僻的)farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident.I hadn't the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go .It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way.I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there,waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died."She meant more to me than anyone…even my own wife!" he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(厩)."I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!" he said.Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door .He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground." She was such a good cow!I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her!" he said, and burst into tears again. （16分）（答题时限：00:01:00）(1) The underlined phrase make out in the first paragraph means ______. （4分）A.understandB.expectC.see clearlyD.hear clearly★标准答案：A(2) Before he arrived at the farmer's house, the writer expected to see Milly lying ______. （4分）A.in bed in a roomB.on the ground of a barnC.on the floor of a room.D.in bed in a barn★标准答案：A(3) What do we know about Milly from he story? （4分）A.She had met with an accident.B.She had caused a scandalC.She was seriously ill.D.She was hidden somewhere.★标准答案：A(4) The farmer wished that the writer might ______. （4分）A.bring Milly back to lifeB.look into the matterC.free him from a scandalD.keep the whole thing a secret★标准答案：A2. America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect （影响）American society in many ways — education, medicine, andbusiness.Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society— one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior （行为）is suitable （合适） at various ages. A person's age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health.There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school,get a job,or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be.It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing. Many people say, 'I am much younger than my mother - or myfather - was at my age.' No one says ‘Act your age’ anymore. We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways. （16分）（答题时限：00:01:00）(1) It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ______. （4分）A.has changed people's understanding of ageB.has made people feel youngerC.has changed people's social positionD.has slowed down the country's social development★标准答案：A(2) The underlined word ‘one’ refers to ______. （4分）A.a societyB.AmericaC.a placeD.population★标准答案：A(3) ‘Act your age’ means people shou ld ______. （4分）A.do the right thing at the right ageB.be active when they are oldC.show respect for their parents young or oldD.take more physical exercise suitable to their age★标准答案：A(4) If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ______. （4分）A.normalB.wonderfulC.unbelievableD.unreasonable ★标准答案：A。

Soon after the September 11 attack, the property’s ownershad considered the idea of rebuilding the towers exactly as they had stood there. But critics pointed that the original designs were rather dull and their size made them impersonal and intimidating(令人畏惧的). Instead, they recommended a collection of smallerbuildings including office space, retail stores and restaurants, and a memorial to the buildings and the people who died in them.

It was not a sudden and violent overturning of the political and social framework, such as later occurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations. Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During the conflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of the more isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.America ’s War of independence heralded the birth of three modern nations. One was Canada, which received its first large influx (涌入) of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fled there from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penal colony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. The third newcomer----the United States-based itself squarely on republican principles.Yet even the political overturn was not so revolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notable Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely ratified (批准，认可) a colonial self-rule already existing. British officials, everywhere ousted (驱逐), were replaced by a homegrown governing class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king and Parliament.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:31．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A) The United States: An isolated CommunityB) Breathtaking Events during the American RevolutionPart II. Reading Comprehension (40%)C) Canada and the American war of IndependenceD) The American Revolution: Evolution Not Revolution32. In the first paragraph, what does the author suggest about the French and Russian Revolutions?A) They were explosive and abrupt. B) They were ineffective.C) They involved only those people living in urban areas. D) They led to the release of all political prisoners.33. In line 7 what does the author mean by “people went on working and praying, marrying and playing”?A) More people got married than divorced. B) The war created new jobs. C) Life went on as usual.D) People had more than enough leisure time.34. In the second paragraph, the author states that the colonies struggle for self-government preceded thecreation of all of the following countries EXCEPT_____.A) Canada B) the United States C) Australia D) the United Kingdom35. It can be inferred from the passage that the loyalists who escaped to Canada were _____.A) Russian B) French C) British D) AustralianPassage TwoSome of the most beautiful caves are formed in glaciers (冰川). Streams of melting ice and snow tunnelthrough the glaciers the same way that water from a faucet melts its way through an ice cube. Water from the surface drips down through cracks, hollowing out the tunnels and decorating the caves with crystal icicles. The smooth walls and floors are so glasslike that pebbles frozen six feet deep can easily be seen. Crystal-clear iciclesdraping from the ceilings flash blue-green, as though they were carved from precious jewels instead of ice. Although most of the cave ice in the United States is found in lava caves, there are a number of limestone icecaves as well. Some people believe that this ice was formed thousands of years ago, when temperatures were much colder than they are today. Others think that the cave ice broke off from the ancient glaciers as they spread over the country. Today many cave scientists have another idea. They believe that cold water sinks down through cracks into these caves until the temperature is chilly enough to freeze the water that seeps (渗入) in. The ice that forms keep the cave cool, and that helps build up still more ice. Many caves become covered with so much ice that no one knows just how thick it is. In some, such as Crystal Falls Cave in Idaho, there are frozen rivers and even frozen waterfalls. Native Americans and early settlers used to store food in these underground refrigerators and chip out blocks of ice to melt for drinking water. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: 36．What does the passage mainly discuss?A) Characteristics of glaciers. B) Uses for ice caves. C) The origin of cave ice.]D) Where glaciers can be found.37. According to many of today ’s cave scientists, what causes ice to build up in caves?A) Rivers and waterfalls supply water. B) Icicles accumulate on the ceilings. C) Cave ice breaks off glaciers. D) Cold water seeps in and freezes.38. It can be inferred from the passage that the early settlers in the Unites States appreciated the ice caves fortheir ______.A) practicality B) beautiful interiors装订 线 内不要 答题C) historical value D) precious gems39. The author compares icicles to precious jewels based on which of the following?A) Appearance. B) Cost.C) Method of formation. D) Availability.40. Where is most of the cave ice in the United States found?A) In lava caves. B) In ancient glaciers.C) On cave ceilings. D) In cave cracks.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passages:With the Switzerland-based World Wildlife Fund(WWF), China is making a concerned and dedicated effort to save the endangered pandas. The results, officials here in Chengdu indicate, are mixed but encouraging.A clear disappointment is the failure to breed pandas in captivity, necessary if their decreasing numbers are to be replaced. Another failure has been the incapability to find a natural, readily available food to replace the arrow bamboo.Despite these failures, success has come on two fronts. One achievement has been the physical rescue effort. Some pandas have been kept alive by salting the mountains with tons of cooked meat, which pandas will eat as a substitute for bamboo, and by the planting of new bamboo in isolated areas. Animals in some Sichuan areas have been rescued by local peasants and given emergency treatment by animal doctors.A second achievement is a massive fund-raising effort. Publicity about the pandas’ plight has resulted in a new $100,000 emergency allocation by the WWF and independent fund dries both in China and abroad.In spite of this support, there have been conflicts in the panda relief program. One important problem is the difficulty Peking is having balancing the recommendations of environmentalists with China’s ambitious goal of agricultural and industrial modernization.Wolong is but one example of this difficulty. This 494,000-acre preserve was declared a protected area in 1975. Yet 1,800 people, mostly Tibetans, still live in the preserve, logging trunks still roll down the narrow mountain roads, and blasting work still goes on at the site of a new 160,000-kilowatt hydroelectric plant just six miles away.This all means that the panda’s fight for survival will not be an easy one, even with the concerted effort of man. For in the end, even if they can survive the dangers of the wild, they must still contend with man.41. Efforts to save the endangered pandas _________.A)have met with setbacks but brought hopeB)have proven highly successfulC)have failed completelyD)have received no response from the scientists42. Which of the following threatens pandas’ survival in the Wolong preserve?A)Local population.B)Economic development.C)Unfavorable environment.D)All of the above.43. All of the following help prevent the decline of the panda population EXCEPT__________.A)the large-scale fund-raising drivesB)the reproduction of panda offspring during captivityC)the rescue of the injured and the sickD)the cultivation of new bamboo forests44. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A)Switzerland is the only country that contributes in the panda relief programB)it is too late to rescue the endangered pandasC)the survival of pandas is an international concernD)the lovely pandas will soon die out45. The tone of the author’s conclusion concerning pandas’ survival is _______.A) worried B) optimistic C) angry D) impersonalPassage FourWe use emotive language to express our own attitudes and feelings. We also direct emotive language at other people to persuade them to believe as we do or to do, as we want them to do; and, of course, other people direct emotive language at us to get us to believe or to do what they want.We are subjected to a constant stream of persuasion, day in, and day out, at home and in school, on the radio and on television. It comes from parents and teachers, from preachers and politicians, form editors and commentators, but most of all, of course, from advertisers. Most of this persuasion is expressed in emotive language and is intended to appeal to our feelings rather than to be weighted up by our powers of reasoning.We should look at the motives behind all this persuasion. Why do they want to persuade us? What do they want us to do? We are not thinking very clearly unless we try to see through the veil of words and realize something of the speakers’ purpose.An appeal to motion is in itself neither good nor bad. Our emotions exist and they are part of our personality. On some occasions people appeal to our emotions on the highest levels and from the best of motives.A case in point is Churchill’s wartime speeches: whatever people thought of Churchill as a politician, they were united behind him when he spoke as a national leader in those dark days their feelings responded to his call for resolution and unity.It is a characteristic of social groups that the members have a feeling of personal attachment to the group--- to the family in earliest childhood and extending later to the school, the team, the church, the nation, in patterns that vary from time to time. Hence a speaker from our group will find in us feelings to which he can readily and genuinely appeal, whether our reaction is favorable or not. We are at least open to the appeal and we appreciate the content in which it is made.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:46. The passage discusses the emotive language, whose major functions are to ______.A)show one’s feelings and appeal to these of othersB)make others trust us and respond to our feelingC)extend our powers of reasoning and carry out a purposeD)advertise and produce the wanted social effects47. The source from which emotive language flows upon us in its greatest amount is _____.A) the religious circles B) the academic lectureC) the mass media D) the advertising business48. The third paragraph of this passage suggests that we __________.A)have to carefully use our emotive languageB)need to judge whether a persuasion is made for good or badC)should keep a cool head when subjected to different kinds of persuasionsD)should avoid being easily seen through by and appeal form others49. Churchill is mentioned in the passage as _______.A) a good example of the way of weighting up persuasion by reasoningB) a famous leader who brought out people’s best feelingsC) a positive example of appealing to people’s emotionD) a known politician who was good at lecturing50. From the passage we can get that a persuasive speaker must ________.A) find out what group his audience is attached to B) differentiate his speech patterns from time to timeC) be aware of the way of adapting his speaking way to the needs of the audience D) know whether the listeners are favorable to his opinion or not51.

Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parentsknow and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society,young people often travel great distances for their education, moveout of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom theirparents have never met, and choose jobs different from those oftheir parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do allthe things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another causeof the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have verylittle in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society isthe third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditionalculture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in oursociety the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A., B., C., and D.. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Philanthropy is a way that people and organizations show concern for others or work to improve the world. Approximately 72 percent of Americans donate to charity (慈善机构), and 51 percent do volunteer work. About 2 millions not-for-profit organizations and charities in the United States today receive this help.There are three types of philanthropists: individuals, foundations, and private corporations. Individuals give money or volunteer their time to support causes that are important to them. Foundations are organizations started by very wealthy individuals. Their “business” is not to make a profit but to give money away to not-for-profits.Private corporations may also use a portion of their business profits to make donations, or they may give away their products or services free of charge. However, foundations and corporations are responsible for only 20 percent of charitable donations; 80 percent comes from individuals.What makes people and institutions give away their time and money? One reason is altruism, the unselfish desire to help other people and make the world a better place. Other reasons involve personal interest. Under US tax law, an individual or business does not have to pay income tax on money that is donated to charity. For extremely wealthy individuals and corporations, this can mean millions of dollars they do not have to pay in taxes to the government. In addition to tax benefits, donors often receive favorable publicity for making donations, and they have an opportunity to influence the world around them.31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Philanthropy has become an accepted American custom.B. Philanthropy has made the US a great influence in the world.C. More and more organizations rely on philanthropy nowadays.D. Religion plays an important role in the philanthropy in the US.32. Which of the following is NOT characteristic of philanthropists?A. To donate money.B. To do volunteer work.C. To pay income tax.D. To provide free services.33. What is the main source of donations in the United States?A. Foundations.B. Individuals.C. The government.D. Private corporations.34. How are foundations different from private corporations in the aspect of philanthropy?A. They don’t make a profit.B. They receive more publicity.C. They are set up by very rich individuals.D. They don’t donate money to individuals.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Individuals tend to donate money to become famous.B. Foundations gain more power because of philanthropy.C. Some people donate money for practical purposes.D. The US tax law discourages people from donating money.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:A lot of people think that if they put off the decision of whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships, the problems they are having will magically somehow heal themselves or disappear. They won’t.If you don’t in vest some quality time now in taking a true, honest and truthful look at the state of your relationship, you could stay stuck in this place of indecision for a very long time. Many people waste so much precious time when they could be experiencing an incredible relationship filled with love, passion and joy, either in their current relationship or one that is more of what they want. We encourage you to take an honest look at your situation and feel how much pain you’ve been feeling about this relationship. If having a great relationship is important to you, you need to decide that you’re not willing to live without the love, passion, intimacy, and tenderness. You have to take the first step to create the kind of relationship and love you want in your life.W e’re not suggesting that you should leave your current relationship or marriage and head out looking for the new love of your life. That’s your decision and one that should only be made after some careful insight and thinking. What we are telling you is th at life is too short to go through it without having the love you want and the love that’s possible for all of us. If you are in a relationship that is causing you to wonder whetheryou should stay in it or leave—i t’s important that you take some time now to make it clear so that you’ll be able to ask yourself openly and honestly whether you’ll be able to heal the challenges.36. To make a decision about whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships quicker, people should ________.A. leave the problems until they heal themselves or disappearB. head out looking for the new love of his /her lifeC. seek expert’s advice and not make a quick decisionD. have a clear understanding of the state of their relationships37.

The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. persuade people to find a better relationshipB. ask people to invest quality time in their relationshipsC. give people some advice on how to stay in or leave their relationshipsD. advise people how to have a relationship with love, passion and so onSection BDirections:In this section there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).German careers or jobs fall into several categories. First, there are positions that require strong ability in German with a company in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. This category may also include a job requiring good German and/or bilingual (双语的) skills within a company doing business in the US, Canada, Mexico or elsewhere. Secondly, there are jobs that can be done in English in German Europe. Then there are German companies abroad.Most minor and many major positions are filled by recruiting German, Austrian or Swiss nationals. If you are already in German Europe, you may have a better chance of finding a job. In any case, it is best if your company can handle all the formalities involved when a foreign national takes a job in Germany. There are also relocation services that can help with this if you don’t have any ideas yourself.The German unemployment rate has remained at a fairly high level over the last decade. It is almost impossible for a non-German to get a job in Germany unless she/he can prove that it can’t be done by a German national. In certain fields, such as computer science or information systems, “green card” foreign workers have been imported, but this practice is still uncommon. The reality of searching for and finding a suitable position in German Europe or with a German firm means two main things: knowledge and planning. Too many times, job seekers have unrealistic expectations. Often they overestimate their language skills and underestimate the level of competition. Anotherdanger is ignoring culture shock. That’s why we also offer links to culture-related sites.For getting most German jobs, it is your ability in a field—computers, teaching, advertising, etc.—rather than your German skills that will be the biggest factor in a successful search. But all other things being equal between you and another candidate, it is the person with the best language skills who usually gets the job.41. What is the requirement of the job within a company doing business in the US,Canada, Mexico or elsewhere included in the first category?42. What might the company do for the benefit of a foreign employee?43. What seems to be “hot” fields if you are to find a job in German?44. What is the reason for the author to offer links to culture-related sites?45. What is more important to get most German jobs according to the passage?Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 marks)Section A (15 marks, 0.5 mark each)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
