正確答案：()解析：[參考譯文]

最近的一份調(diào)查讓我感到非常震驚，那上面說30%的求職者需要將他們的簡歷加以潤色或作假。這個(gè)數(shù)字真有這么低嗎?(1)我一直認(rèn)為簡歷史中充斥著借口、半真半假和徹頭徹尾的謊言。但那則只有70%的工人是誠實(shí)的新聞讓我對(duì)自己的想法感到疑惑。唯一的結(jié)論就是，人們經(jīng)常在匿名調(diào)查中撒一些小謊，就像他們?cè)趯懞啔v中所做的那樣，因此，我覺得實(shí)際數(shù)字可能要高很多。

教育評(píng)估員學(xué)會(huì)所做的此項(xiàng)研究的真正用意是：隨著失業(yè)和競(jìng)爭的逐漸加劇，(2)虛假動(dòng)機(jī)正在逐漸增加。因此，在未來幾個(gè)月中，招聘人員會(huì)見到更多的足以誤導(dǎo)其決策的簡歷。

這與20世紀(jì)90年代早期的衰退時(shí)期是一樣的。當(dāng)時(shí)，我的一個(gè)熟人從一個(gè)大銀行工作的畢業(yè)實(shí)習(xí)生那里了解到，他將自己的三級(jí)榮譽(yù)學(xué)位提升到了2:1。同時(shí)，一個(gè)記者同事也向我承認(rèn)曾將自己在一所著名大學(xué)的學(xué)位完全是虛構(gòu)的。(3)同時(shí)期的另外一個(gè)人也曾向雇主謊稱自己曾花一年時(shí)間編纂過有關(guān)比利牛斯山野花的一本野外工作指南，而其實(shí)那東西是臨時(shí)抱佛腳的產(chǎn)物。的我在蘇格蘭東海岸的成長的經(jīng)歷告訴我，如果在自己的簡歷中作假，我將在地獄里永遠(yuǎn)受煎熬。

(4)一個(gè)對(duì)求職者作背景調(diào)查的服務(wù)公司說，簡歷的不準(zhǔn)確分為三組。第一，誠實(shí)的錯(cuò)誤，確實(shí)是候選人搞錯(cuò)了日期。第二，對(duì)資質(zhì)的故意偽造。托馬斯先生曾說：“一個(gè)講了20年的謊話會(huì)成為一個(gè)事實(shí)的一部分。所以即使是一個(gè)成功的財(cái)務(wù)主管，在他換工作的時(shí)候也要再次重復(fù)這個(gè)謊言。”第三，求職者將自己有問題的區(qū)間予以掩蓋?？肆_爾在調(diào)查一宗個(gè)案時(shí)，曾發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)候選人將自己曾在監(jiān)獄中服刑3個(gè)月的經(jīng)歷予以掩蓋。

根據(jù)人事發(fā)展特許協(xié)會(huì)的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，大約有65%的企業(yè)會(huì)根據(jù)入選求職者的簡歷來獲取參考信息。不到一半的人說他們找不到任何有用的信息。(5)對(duì)訴訟案的恐懼導(dǎo)致以往的雇主不敢說除了“是的，德里克曾為我們工作。他留著胡子，對(duì)我們的數(shù)據(jù)有所了解?！币酝獾脑?，這些在當(dāng)今都不足為奇。不到40%的企業(yè)懶得對(duì)候選人的學(xué)歷及專業(yè)資格進(jìn)行核對(duì)。.(1).Whenwetalkaboutthedangerofromanticlove,wedon"tmeandangerintheobviousheartbreakway--thecheapbetrayals,thebrokenpromises--wemeanthedarkdangerthatlurkswhensensible,educatedwomenfallforthedogmaticideathatromanticloveistheultimategoalforthemodemfemale.Everyday,thousandsoffilms,books,articlesandTVprogramshammerhomethismessage--thatwithoutromance,lifeissomehowbarren.

正確答案：()解析：當(dāng)說到浪漫愛情的危險(xiǎn)時(shí)，我們并不是指顯而易見令人心碎的危險(xiǎn)——可恥的背叛、破碎的誓言——而是指當(dāng)明智的知識(shí)女性對(duì)教條主義思想信以為真，即浪漫的愛情是現(xiàn)代女性的終極目標(biāo)時(shí)，潛伏著的隱秘危險(xiǎn)。__________________________________________________________________________________________

正確答案：()解析：她們的閱歷經(jīng)驗(yàn)開始發(fā)揮作用，她們注意到，出于愛慕和性而結(jié)婚的夫妻十年以后卻在互相摔碗，為生活中一點(diǎn)小事而大打出手。__________________________________________________________________________________________

正確答案：()解析：然而，觀察到這些反差的女性往往很怕談?wù)撨@些，生怕被他人冠以憤世嫉俗之名。當(dāng)然，只有那些最厭倦、受傷最深的女性才會(huì)挑戰(zhàn)浪漫愛情的正統(tǒng)地位。__________________________________________________________________________________________

正確答案：()解析：我們認(rèn)為：賦予浪漫愛情特權(quán)使其凌駕于一切之上，并強(qiáng)調(diào)愛情是構(gòu)成人類幸福一個(gè)基本的、無可爭議的要素，即便追溯到洞穴社會(huì)，這也是一種圈套和陷阱。__________________________________________________________________________________________

正確答案：()解析：愛情是人類不變的追求；改變的只是對(duì)愛情的闡釋。愛情的表達(dá)方式以及它在日常生活的意義從來都不是永恒不變或始終如一的。三、PartⅢReadingComprehension(總題數(shù)：0，分?jǐn)?shù)：0.00)四、PartA(總題數(shù)：3，分?jǐn)?shù)：30.00)In1998consumerscouldpurchasevirtuallyanythingovertheInternet.Books,compactdiscs,andevenstockswereavailablefromWorldWideWebsitesthatseemedtospringupalmostdally.Afewyearsearlier,somepeoplehadpredictedthatconsumersaccustomedtoshoppinginstoreswouldbereluctanttobuythingsthattheycouldnotseeortouchinperson.Foragrowingnumberoftime-starvedconsumers,however,shoppingfromtheirhomecomputerwasprovedtobeaconvenientalternativetodrivingtothestore.

A.ConsumersarereluctanttobuythingsontheInternet.

B.ConsumersaretoobusytobuythingsontheInternet.

C.Internetretailingisaprofitablebusiness.

D.MoreandmoreconsumerspreferInternetshopping.

√解析：[解析]文章第一段“Foragrowingnumberoftime-starvedconsumers，however，shoppingfromtheirhomecomputerwasprovedtobeaconvenientalternativetodrivingtothestore．”對(duì)于越來越多時(shí)間不充裕的消費(fèi)者來說，與開車到商場(chǎng)購物相比，通過家用電腦購物被證實(shí)是一個(gè)方便的選擇?？梢姳M管說網(wǎng)上購物有一些不習(xí)慣，但是相比之下，它確實(shí)是一個(gè)方便的選擇。所以A、B項(xiàng)不對(duì)，而D項(xiàng)正確。第三段第1句話講到“盡管消費(fèi)者感興趣，但是，網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間還是一個(gè)不賺錢的生意”，可見C項(xiàng)也不對(duì)。(2).FindingabargainontheInternetwasgettingeasierpartlybecause______.（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00）

A.thereweremoreandmoreInternetusers

B.thereweremoreandmoreonlineauctions

√

C.theconsumershadmoremoneytospend

D.thereweremoregoodsavailableontheInternet解析：[解析]文章第二段“FindingabargainwasgettingeasierowingtotheriseofonlineauctionsandWebsitesthatdidcomparisonshoppingontheInternetforthebestdeal．”可見，在線拍賣的增加和網(wǎng)站經(jīng)營策略“購物比較”是消費(fèi)者找到便宜貨的原因。B項(xiàng)“拍賣活動(dòng)越來越多”符合題意(3)."Foralltheconsumerinterest"(Paragraph3)means______.（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00）

A.totheinterestofalltheconsumers

B.fortheinterestofalltheconsumers

C.thoughtheconsumersareverymuchinterested

√

D.alltheconsumersaremuchinterested解析：[解析]文章第三段“Foralltheconsumerinterest，retailingincyberspacewasstillalargelyunprofitablebusiness，”盡管所有的消費(fèi)者感興趣，但是，網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間的零售一直還是一個(gè)巨大的不賺錢的生意。由于后面的意思做了一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折，說是不賺錢的生意，可見，前面的句子和它的意思相反，應(yīng)該是“盡管消費(fèi)者感興趣”。只有C項(xiàng)符合句意，所表達(dá)的意思與后文構(gòu)成一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。(4).ItcanbeinferredfromthepassagethatAmazon.com______.（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00）

A.willprobablymakeaprofitin2001

√

B.ismakingaprofitnow

C.isacompanythatsellsbooksonly

D.suffersagreatlossonthestockmarket解析：[解析]文章第二段：一開始講到1995年開始賣書，后來銷售錄音制品，由此可見：它現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不賣書了。所以C不對(duì)。后面講到：通過分析得知直到2001年公司沒有期望能夠扭虧為贏。也就是說賺錢的狀況在2001年的時(shí)候可能會(huì)完全扭轉(zhuǎn)過來，開始盈利了。所以A項(xiàng)正確。B項(xiàng)“正在賺取利潤”顯然也是不對(duì)的，因?yàn)樘潛p的局面目前仍然沒有扭轉(zhuǎn)。作者在本段接下來的部分又講到盡管目前處于一種虧損狀態(tài)，但“Amazon．com”在股票市場(chǎng)上價(jià)值達(dá)數(shù)十億，可見D項(xiàng)不對(duì)。(5).InvestorsareinterestedinInternetretailingbecause______.（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00）

D.theycanmakehugeprofitsfromit解析：[解析]文章最后一段“Internetretailingappealedtoinvestorsbecauseitprovidedanefficientmeansforreachingmillionsofconsumerswithouthavingthecostofoperatingconventionalstoreswiththeirarmiesofsalespeople．”可見，投資者對(duì)因特網(wǎng)的零售感興趣的原因是他們可以接觸到廣大的消費(fèi)者。所以C項(xiàng)正確。緊接著說“Sellingonlinecarrieditsownrisks”網(wǎng)上銷售也有其自身的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，可見A項(xiàng)不對(duì)；B、D兩項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容不符合題意。Poseidonsatathisdesk,doingfigures.Theadministrationofallthewatersgavehimendlesswork.Hecouldhavehadassistants,asmany--andhedidhaveverymany--butsincehetookhisjobveryseriously,hewouldintheendgooverallthefiguresandcalculationshimself,andthushisassistantswereoflittlehelptohim.Itcannotbesaidthatheenjoyedhiswork:hediditonlybecauseithadbeenassignedtohim;infact,hehadalreadyfiledmanypetitionsforasheputit--morecheerfulwork,buteverytimetheofferofsomethingdifferentwasmadetohimitwouldturnoutthatnothingsuitedhimquiteaswellashispresentposition.Andanyhowitwasquitedifficulttofindsomethingdifferentforhim.Afterall,itwasimpossibletoassignhimtoaparticularsea;asidefromthefactthateventhentheworkwithfigureswouldnotbecomelessbutonlypettier,thegreatPoseidoncouldinanycaseoccupyonlyanexecutiveposition.Andwhenajobawayfromthewaterwasofferedtohimhewouldgetsickattheveryprospect,hisdivinebreathingwouldbecometroubledandhisbrazenchestbegantotremble.Besides,hiscomplaintswerenotreallytakenseriously;whenoneofthemightyisvexatioustheappearanceofaneffortmustbemadetoplacatehim,evenwhenthecaseismosthopeless.InactualityashiftofpostswasunthinkableforPoseidon--hehadbeenappointedGodoftheSeainthebeginning,andthathehadtoremain.

√解析：[解析]由上下文可知，波塞頓“因?yàn)閷?duì)工作的不滿，所以導(dǎo)致工作效率的下降”，故選D。其他選項(xiàng)意為：A波塞頓喜歡去木星執(zhí)行工作，B波塞頓太忙了，以至于他對(duì)自己的王國不很熟悉，C在工作期間，波塞頓需要安靜。明顯不符題意。(3).Accordingtothepassage,Poseidon"sdissatisfactionwithhisjobprimarilystemsfrom______（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00）

√解析：[解析]由上下文可知，波塞頓對(duì)工作不滿主要是因?yàn)镈，別人對(duì)他日常事務(wù)的誤解。根據(jù)上下文，由于波塞頓在工作期間偶爾造訪火星，召來別人的閑言閑語(tohear-oftheconceptionsformedabouthim)，導(dǎo)致波塞頓相當(dāng)惱火(fromwhichheusuallyreturnedinarage)。(4).TheauthorofthepassageportraysthegodPoseidonas______（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00）

D.acapableaccountant解析：[解析]由上下文可知，作者將波塞頓描述為：A不滿的官僚。其他項(xiàng)意為：B強(qiáng)大的神靈，C不滿足的流浪漢和D能干的會(huì)計(jì)師。這些都未在文中予以描述，故選A。(5).PoseidonisunabletochangeoccupationsforallofthefollowingreasonsEXCEPT______（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00）

√解析：[解析]推理題。本題的解題點(diǎn)在第一段。根據(jù)第一段可知，她父親不僅會(huì)鎖上外面所有的門，還要鎖上空置廚房的門。他在提防著什么，但顯然這樣?xùn)|西能穿過他的第一道防線。他設(shè)置的第二道防線一直延伸到床邊。由此可以推斷出，她父親是一個(gè)防御心理十分強(qiáng)的人。D選項(xiàng)“他有意防著他的鄰居”是基于原文的推斷，所以正確答案是D選項(xiàng)。(2).Fromthepassagewecanseethatthefatheris______.（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00）

A.kindtohisdaughterandneighbors

B.crueltohisdaughterandneighbors

√

C.systematicalinhisactions

D.carefulabouthisappearance解析：[解析]推理題。根據(jù)第一段可推斷出，他有意防著他的鄰居。根據(jù)第二段可知，他女兒一想到房子將屬于她父親，就很不開心，而且他習(xí)慣說是他改善了住宅的條件。由此可以推斷出，他對(duì)鄰居和女兒都不友善，比較無情。所以正確答案是B選項(xiàng)。(3).Accordingtothepassage,thedaughter"sattitudetowardhisfatherisof______.（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00）

A.slightdislike

√

B.greatdisapproval

C.stronglove

D.gratefulacceptance解析：[解析]推理題。從本文的描述可知，女兒每晚趴在墻上聽自己父親在屋子里走來走去鎖門關(guān)窗的聲響。14年來，她一想起房子將屬于她父親，就很不開心。由此可以推斷出，女兒并不是很喜歡父親，甚至有點(diǎn)討厭父親。所以正確答案是A選項(xiàng)。(4).Whichofthefollowingfeelingsisconveyedinthepassage?（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00）

A.Tenseness.

B.Peace.

C.Nervousness.

√

D.Happiness.解析：[解析]推理題。根據(jù)作者全文的描述可知，父親對(duì)女兒比較無情，女兒也不是很喜歡父親。她靜靜地趴在墻上，聽著外面?zhèn)鱽淼膭?dòng)靜。雖然父親的腳步聲聽不見了，但女兒內(nèi)心深處卻一直有各種響聲。這表現(xiàn)的是女兒焦躁的心情。所以正確答案是C選項(xiàng)。(5).AllofthefollowingaretrueEXCEPTthat______.（分?jǐn)?shù)：2.00）

A.thefatherbuilthisdefensescarefully

B.somepropertyownerslettheirhomesgoworse

C.thedaughterwasthinandveryyoung

D.thefatherpunishedthegirlwhenshewasyoung

√解析：[解析]細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句話Somepeoplewhoboughttheirhomesthroughthesocietyletthemgotorackandruinandthenclearedout可知，有些房主會(huì)毀壞房子。根據(jù)最后一段第一句話Shestoodwithherearagainstthewall，asmall，dark，angry，immaturefigure可推斷出，女兒很瘦小，年紀(jì)也比較小。根據(jù)最后一段倒數(shù)第二句話中的thelittlebusysoundsofmenbuildingbarriers可知，他修建柵欄很用心。由此可推出，A、B和C選項(xiàng)均為文章細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容。本題選不正確選項(xiàng)，因此答案是D選項(xiàng)。五、PartB(總題數(shù)：1，分?jǐn)?shù)：10.00)Wheneveryouseeanoldfilm,evenonemadeaslittleastenyearsago,youcannothelpbeingstruckbytheappearanceofthewomentakingpart.Theirhair-stylesandmake-uplookdated;theirskirtslookeithertoolongortooshort;theirgeneralappearanceis,infact,slightlyludicrous.Thementakingpartinthefilm,ontheotherhand,areclearlyrecognizable.Thereisnothingabouttheirappearancetosuggestthattheybelongtoanentirelydifferentage.
