purpose of a letter of application(求职)is to help you to“sell”yourself.It should state_36_ the job you want,and should tell what your abilities are and what you have37.It shouldbe simple,human,personal and brief without38out any necessary facts.In writing a letter of application,keep in39that things a possible employer is most40to want to know about are your qualification,your achievements and your aims.The openingparagraph is perhaps the most important part.41the first few sentences fail to42thereaders attention,the rest of the letter may not be43at all.Try to key your opening remarks tothe needs or interests of the employer,not44your own needs or desires.For example,insteadof beginning with“I saw your45in todays newspaper”.You might say,“I have made a careful46of your advertising during the past six month s”or“I have made a survey in my neighborhoodto find out how many housewives47your product and why they like it”.Try to48generalities(笼统).Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now_49.College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“What can I50?”in aletter.Employers want experience-which,naturally,no51has.The answer is that everythingyou have ever done is52.It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter.53a specific requestfor an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.An excellent54_is to enclose(内附)a stamped,self-addressed envelope with your letter.That makes it55for apossible employer to get in touch with you.36.A.clearlyB.carefullyC.obviouslyD.easily37.A.foundB.doneC.knownD.heard38.A.sendingB.takingC.leavingD.picking39.A.brainB.sightC.orderD.mind40.A.probableB.possibleC.likelyD.able41.A.WhileB.AlthoughC.AsD.If42.A.payB.winC.showD.fix43.A.keptB.continuedC.writtenD.read44.A.toB.forC.intoD.from45.A.advertisementB.reportC.articleD.introduction46.A.watchB.searchC.studyD.discussion47.A.changeB.makeC.sellD.use48.A.avoidB.rememberC.protectD.gain49.A.losingB.applyingC.preparingD.fitting50.A.offerB.supplyC.meanD.provide51.A.workerB.beginnerC.ownerD.manager52.A.successB.developmentC.practiceD.experience53.A.MakeB.AskC.StateD.Get54.A.resultB.decisionC.promiseD.idea55.A.happierB.easierC.heaperD.safer第三部分：阅读理解（共第三部分：阅读理解（共

and there is no return address.The post期中高二英语试卷 第 4 页共 10 页office cannot just throw the mail away,so it becomes“dead mail.”Dead mail is sent to one of the USPostal Services dead mail offices in Atlanta,New York,Philadelphia,St.Paul,and San Francisco.Seventy-five million pieces of mail can end up in these offices in one year.The staff of the dead mail offices has a variety of ways to deal with all of these piecesof deadmail.First of all,they look for clues that can help them deliver the mail;they open packages in thehope that something inside will show where the package came from or is going to.Dead mail willalso be listed on a computer so that people can call in and check to see if a missing item is there.However,all of this mail cannot simply be stored forever;there is just too much of it.When a lotof dead mail has piled up,the dead mail offices hold public auctions(拍卖).Every three months,thepublic is invited to the offices and bins containing items found in dead mail packages are sold to thehighest bidder.56.What does the“illegible”mean in context?A.UnreadableB.WrongC.ClearD.False57.The staff in a dead mail office open a package in order to find _.A.some

title for the passage?A.Dead mailB.Mail AuctionC.Unknown mailD.The Dead Mail Office(B)Let us say there is something you dont know how to do.In the past if you were determined to learn you might have called a friend or relative,taken anight class or walked down to the local library for a research term.But now a host of websites are springing up to provide free practical advice on these subjects andactually anything else you can think of.In one sense,these“how to”sites represent a part of the growing world of online learning.This tradition found one of his earliest form in the FAQs-Frequently Asked Questions files(案卷)-that began to Usenet,the Internets global discussion group.These FAQs,many of which still circulate(=go round continuously),took a specific subject andexplained it to complete novices.But“how to”sites take the FAQ idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjectsthat are not necessarily associated with discussion forums(论坛).These sites take the style of a written tutorial(指南)and a tone of friendly advice.Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is Learn ().It offersnearly 1,000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview.At ()you can learn how to train for your first marathon,how to buy avacation home,or how to make a movie in eight steps.60.What does the writer of this passage want to do?A.To introduce new websites to netizens.B.To help you to solve any difficulty you have met with.C.To say how to learn new courses by Internet.D.To bring new means to learn something new.期中高二英语试卷 第 5 页共 10 页61.Why

for the disabled.D.a deaf person can teach himself at home by visiting“how-to”sites(C)It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents.Theysay that their parents dont understand them.They often think that their parents are out of touch withmodern ways,that they are too serious and too strict with their children,and that they seldom givetheir children a free hand.It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust and they tend to forget howthey themselves felt when young.For example,young people like to act on the spot without much thinking.It is one of their waysto show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation.Old people worrymoreeasily.Most of them plan things in advance,at least in the back of their minds,and do not like theirplans to be upset by something unexpected.When you want your parents to let you do something,you will have better success if you askbefore you really start doing it.Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes,in entertainment andin music.But they do not mean to cause any trouble:it is just that they feel cut off from the olderpeoples world,into which they have not yet been accepted.Thats why young people want to make anew culture of their own,and if their parents dont like music or entertainment or clothes or their wayof speech,this will make the young people extremely happy.Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say“yes”to whatyou do.All you want is to be left alone and do what you like.It is natural enough,after being a childfor so many years,when you were completely under your parents control.If you prefer to control your life,youd better win your parents over and try to get them tounderstand you.If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility,they will certainlygive you the right to do what you want to do.64._ are to blame for the quarrels between
