A.be qualified to drive B.be a local in Angwin C.work about 8 hours per week D.be able to speak two languages 答案 A 解析细节理解题。由 Housekeeping Services 部分中的“Drivers license required”可知,该工作要求申 请者有驾驶证。 22.What do we know about the caregiver position?

D.The applicant can leave the woman alone occasionally. 答案 A 解析细节理解题。由 Caregiver Position 部分中的“She speaks both English and Spanish,but Spanish is her preference.”可知,申请者最好会说西班牙语。 23.If you want to become a great baker,which should you contact? A.9257858500. B.7079639278. C.Davidfpcnapa.org.

It wasnt until a few months ago that I realized how clueless I was.I had been combing through the classifieds when my eyes fell upon my dream job:National College Magazine looking for writers. Thrilled,I spent the weekend composing a resume.Needless to say,I was stunned when the interviewer barely took one glance before throwing it aside. “No experience,”he said flatly. I felt like screaming,“What do you mean,no experience?Look at these grades.” I was left to absorb the shock of rejection,thinking that nobody ever told me that a 4.0 student would be turned down for a job. Didnt all of my hard work count for anything? I see plenty of demands for two years of experience at a print publication,but none requiring extensive knowledge of how to write academic papers.Yet 95% of my energy in school went toward the latter,leaving me little time to devote to anything else.If career preparation is supposed to be the point of college,then why isnt it the focus? Has a college degree just become another societal status symbol like fancy cars or designer clothes? Given my experience,I feel that a college degree would be a lot more valuable if students were required to get some outside experience to supplement their in-class knowledge.Instead of requiring four science classes,why not three science classes and an internship?In my college career,I took one class that taught me how to write and submit essays for publication.This ever-so-brief taste of the real world was like holding an ice cream sundae in front of a child and only giving her a small bite. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了为了进一步实现他们家庭的美国梦,作者努 力学习,考上了大学,获得了两项奖学金。他坚信努力学习就有回报。但是在经过找工作屡次碰壁之 后,他才明白真正的社会经验也很重要。 24.Why did the author study so hard at college?

A.Academic writing is a small part of college life. B.College education always covers unimportant things. C.Competition in college is not as fierce as that in the real world. D.The author feels held back by his lack of real-world experience. 答案 C 解析句意理解题。画线部分的字面意思是“这种对现实世界的短暂品味就像在孩子面前拿着圣代冰 激凌,却只给她一小口。”言外之意,现实世界的竞争要比大学更激烈。 27.What does the author want to tell us by writing this article? A.Get a college degree and you will go far. B.College students should make the best of their time. C.Career preparation is a necessity for college education.

Psychologist Susan Levine,an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago,found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills.Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents income,education and the amount of parent talk,Levine said. The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age. “The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not,on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转) and translate shapes,”Levine said in a statement. The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would,and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time.Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently,and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills.However,boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls,and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of girls. The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员发现,玩拼图游戏能帮助孩子们掌握与数学相关的 技能,尤其是空间想象技能。 28.In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play? A.Building confidence. B.Developing spatial skills. C.Learning self-control. D.Gaining high-tech knowledge. 答案 B 解析细节理解题。根据第二段第一句内容可知,两岁到四岁之间的孩子玩拼图,能够发展更好的空间 技能。故选 B 项。 29.What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment? A.Parents age. B.Childrens imagination. C.Parents education. D.Child-parent relationship. 答案 C 解析细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句可知,设计实验时,Levine 考虑到了父母的收入以及受教育 的程度。故选 C 项。 30.How do boys differ from girls in puzzle play? A.They play with puzzles more often. B.They tend to talk less during the game. C.T

Psychologist Susan Levine,an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago,found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills.Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents income,education and the amount of parent talk,Levine said. The researchers analyzed video recordings of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age. “The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not,on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转) and translate shapes,”Levine said in a statement. The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would,and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time.Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently,and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills.However,boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls,and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of girls. The findings were published in the journal Developmental Science. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员发现,玩拼图游戏能帮助孩子们掌握与数学相关的 技能,尤其是空间想象技能。 28.In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?
