College and university graduations in the United States are arriving earlier each year as the average length of school year gets shorter.

答案:A;A;B;B;A;C;B;A;A;C;D;B;A;C;A;A;B;D;A;C
解析:

1題,這些內(nèi)容都是以the National Association 0f Scholars為依據(jù)的。因此選A。

      2題,上文講的是大學(xué)的情況,下文要講的是中小學(xué)的情況,兩者比較起來,應(yīng)為“By comparison”。

    3題,require意為要求;需要,其他選項的詞義與文章上下文不符。

    4題,一節(jié)課平均的時間長短應(yīng)該用length(名詞),因此選B。

    5題,fallen在此句中表時間長度減少。

    6題,上文講的是數(shù)據(jù),此處得出結(jié)論。

    7題,此處的結(jié)論即學(xué)習(xí)時間減少了,與上文語義一致。

    8題,time時間時是不可數(shù)名詞,故應(yīng)排除選項B,只有<span lang=EN-US style='mso-bidi-font-size:10.5pt; color:black'>number可表總量。

    9題,此句中使用的是“spend+some time+doing sth句型。

    10題,根據(jù)文章前兩段可得出此答案。

    11題,大學(xué)認(rèn)為時間縮短了,但效率提高了。

    12題,took place在此句中意為進(jìn)行

    13題,傳統(tǒng)的教學(xué)理念是指在課堂上和通過閱讀寫作進(jìn)行。因此選A。

    14題,write assignments是固定的動賓搭配,意為寫作業(yè)。

    15題,rather than是固定詞組,意為而不是。

    16題,通過計算機(jī)或者其他方式和教授聊天。因此用chat with

    17題,information technology(IT)意為信息技術(shù)。

    18題,“It is likely that…”是常用句型,likely是形容詞,意為可能的。lovely也是形容詞,但意為可愛的,與上下文語義不符。A、B兩個選項是副詞,屬語法錯誤,故應(yīng)排除。

    19題,依據(jù)后邊的than they used to可以判斷應(yīng)該用比較級,較少的時間,因此選A

    20題,本篇短文講的是在教室里學(xué)習(xí)時間的多少,故選C

The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself.  It should state   1   the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   2  . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without   3   out any necessary fact.

In writing a letter of application,  keep in   4   that the things a possible employer is most   5   to want to know about are your qualifications(條件), your achievements and your aims.  The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   6   the first few sentences fail to   7   the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be   8   at all.  Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not   9   your own need or desires.  For example,  instead of beginning with “I save your   10   in today’s paper”, you might say “I have made a careful   11   of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   12   your product and why they like it”.

Try to   13   generalities.  Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   14  . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I provide in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no   15   has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is   16  .

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.   17   a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.  An excellent   18   is to enclose(內(nèi)附) a stamped,  self-addressed envelope with your letter.  That makes it   19   for a possible employer to get in   20   with you.

1.  A. clearly                          B. carefully

C. obviously                            D. easily

The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself.  It should state   1   the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   2  . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without   3   out any necessary fact.

In writing a letter of application,  keep in   4   that the things a possible employer is most   5   to want to know about are your qualifications(條件), your achievements and your aims.  The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   6   the first few sentences fail to   7   the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be   8   at all.  Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not   9   your own need or desires.  For example,  instead of beginning with “I save your   10   in today’s paper”, you might say “I have made a careful   11   of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   12   your product and why they like it”.

Try to   13   generalities.  Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   14  . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I provide in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no   15   has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is   16  .

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.   17   a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.  An excellent   18   is to enclose(內(nèi)附) a stamped,  self-addressed envelope with your letter.  That makes it   19   for a possible employer to get in   20   with you.
