______.(分数:

2.50)

A.getanentry-leveljob

B.providefreeservice

C.doaninternship√

D.payfortheprivilegeofgettingajob

解析:

[解析]第1段第1句讲到雇主的邮箱里尽是暑期实习岗位的申请者(desperateappealsforsummer

internships),第2句表明大学生和毕业生都知道internships对他们的职业发展很重要,第3句中的critical与题干中的mostessential为近义词,由此可见,本题应选C。

解答本题的关键在于把握第1段的中心内容,该段主要讲的话题是“实习(internship)”,其他选项均偏离该主题。

)2.50(分数:

(2).NickCleggrecentlylaunchedacrusadetoban______.

A.internshipsbeforeemployment

B.uncompensatedinternships√

C.consensualinternships

D.internshipsforrichcollegestudents

解析:

[解析]根据题干中的NickClegg、crusade等词定位到第2段4句。

本题其实要求找到该句中them的所指。

根据该段前两句及其他句子可知该段讨论的话题是“无薪实习”,第4句所说的NickClegg发起的运动就是要禁止“无薪实习”。

在该段中,“无薪实习”有多种表达:

unpaidinternships,unpaid

placement和uncompensatedinternships,故本题应选B。

(3).FromRossPerlinsnewbookInternNation,wecanlearnthat______.(分数:

2.50)

A.competitionforinternshipsisintense√

B.internsareusuallylookeddownupon

C.onethirdofinternsworkforfor-profitcompanies

D.internshipsareleastvaluedbyfor-profitcompanies

解析:

[解析]根据题干中的RossPerlin定位到第3段第1句。

本题考查对该句中highlycompetitiverace

tothebottomofthecorporateladder的理解,thebottomofthecorporateladder字面上的意思是“职业阶梯的最底层”,此处指“实习生岗位”。

该句表明RossPerlin认为“实习生岗位”的竞争也很激烈,由此可见,本题应选A。

该句中的bottom并没有贬义,没有瞧不起实习职位的意思,只是客观地指出“实习”是最初级的职位,据此应排除B;第3段第2句讲到“在盈利性公司工作的实习生中有三分之一的人没有报酬”,C歪曲了原文的意思;D无原文依据。

(4).Whatcanwelearnfromthelastparagraph?

(分数:

2.50)

A.Newlaborlawswillsoonbeenforced.

B.Graduateswillnothavetoworkasanintern.

C.Morejobvacancieswillbeavailableforgraduates.√

D.Workingwithoutpaywillsoonbebanned.

解析:

[解析]最后一段倒数第2句冒号后的内容(employersintendtohire19%moregraduates)表明职业空缺会增多,故C的说法正确。

A与该段首句中gotnowhere相反;B、D均缺乏原文根据。

(5).Whatisthebesttitleforthepassage?

(分数:

2.50)

A.ReformofInternshipsandEmployment

B.EmploymentatFor-profitIndustries

C.DesperateGraduates

D.OrdealsforInterns√

解析:

[解析]本文第1段先提出了“实习”这一话题,第2段将话题收窄,讲“无薪实习”,接下来的三段都围绕“无薪实习”这一话题,讲到了无薪实习的现状和相关法规。

在四个选项中,与此话题最贴近的是D“实习生的苦难经历”,它既暗示“无薪实习”这一现象,又带有同情,与作者对毕业生“无薪实习”的感情色彩相符。

A虽然有Internships这一关键词,但reform和employment都不是文章的主题;B中的For-profitIndustries严重脱离文章中心,故排除;而C的DesperateGraduates带有贬义,且不能预示文章内容,也无概括性,不可选。

(1).Bysayingthatmyspiritebbs(Para.1),theauthormeansthat______.(分数:

2.50)

A.hewasrelieved

B.hewasgloomy√

C.hewassurprised

D.hewastired

解析:

[解析]从第1段第4句中邻居所说的“再等等吧”以及第1句中的EveryAprilIamtroubledby

thesameconcern可知,和15年前那个四月的下雪天初次来到缅因州时一样,作者现在来到此地时,心情低沉,担心春天不会来了。

所以,myspiritebbs是指“情绪低落”,ebb的意思是“(潮)退;(情绪)低落、衰退”,选B。

(2).Theappletreementionedinthepassageismostlikelyto______.(分数:

2.50)

A.beregardedasadelightintheneighborhood√

B.havebeenabandonedbyitsoriginalowner

C.havebeenneglectedbyeveryoneinthecommunity

D.beattractiveonlytotheauthor

解析:

[解析]第3至5段作者讲述了自己的经历:

给苹果树修剪枝丫时,发现邻居都走出来,十分关心苹果树的情况。

也因为这棵苹果树,“我”和邻居之间的距离拉近了。

最后一段讲到一位邻居提出再修剪一次苹果树,以把大家聚集起来。

这些都说明苹果树深得整个街区居民的喜爱,因此本题应选A。

注意不要被第2段第4句末尾的abandon误导而选B,在原文中,abandon并不是“抛弃”之意,而是“无拘无束地生长;放任”的意思。

(3).InPara.3,

eighborsopenedtheirwindowsandsteppedontotheirporchesprobablybecause

______.(分数:

2.50)

A.theyweresurprisedthatsomeoneunknownwaspruningthetree

B.theywantedtopreventedtheauthorfrompruningthetree

C.theywereconcernedaboutthesafetyofthetree√

D.theywantedtogettoknowtheauthor

解析:

[解析]根据第4段邻居们所说的话“你不会把它砍倒的,对吧?

”、“别弄死它!

”以及anxiously和cautioned等词可以知道邻居是因为担心苹果树的安危,所以在作者开始修剪树枝的时候,他们都走出来了。

由此可见。

本题应选C。

(4).Notuntillastyeardidtheauthor______.(分数:

2.50)

A.ceasetoworryaboutthetree

B.becomeawareoftheappletree

C.begintoappreciatetheneighborhood

D.makeacquaintancewiththeneighbors√

解析:

[解析]根据题干中的untillastyear定位到第3段第1句。

第3至5段可以视为文章的中心部分,这一部分讲作者直到去年因为修剪苹果树才开始与邻居有了交流。

第3段中的ThesewerepeopleIbarely

knewandseldomspoketo以及第5段中的forthedualpurposeofacquaintanceship直接说明本题应选D。

(5).Theauthorsneighbormentionedinthelastparagraphmostcaredabout______.(分数:

2.50)

A.whenspringwouldarrive

B.howtopassthelongwinter

C.theneighborhoodgathering√

D.thepruningfortheappletree

解析:

[解析]在最后一段最后两句中,一位邻居抱怨今年冬天都没有和邻居们见见面、说说话,最后他提出还得给苹果树修修枝。

对于住在这个街区的人来说,给苹果树修枝就意味着邻里的聚会,由此可见,这位邻居最关心、最想做的其实是“邻里聚会
