records. Michael won the 200-meter butterfly with a new world mark, and also turned in record
times in the 100-meter butterfly and 200-meter individual medley (混合泳 )— doing so on the
same day, which was a first in swimming history.
Outside of his swimming career,Michael was a normal teenager.He didn’ t like getting out of the bed in the morning; but refused to slow down once his day began.Michael has his sights set on

Passage Two
Most personnel managers agree that job interviews are one of the least objective
recruiment methods.But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the
interview to employers . The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human
factor.
Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their
instinctive feeling. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usually
pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and impressive work record.
But suppose the candi date lies or is less than completely honest.“ This can be a serious problem for employers” , explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruiment.
most difficult liars to find are those who tell half- truths rather than complete lies.” Research
shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice
is omission.
Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainy such as gaps between
periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange.ng on these“areasFocusiwill
force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people
signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous
hand movements all indicate discomfort.”
Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique , but insists that
close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you
confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than
completely honest.
21.The best title of this passage can be ___________.
A.How to Catch Out the Dishonest Candidate
B.How to Find a Job by Tricks
C.Disadvantages of Job Interviews
D.Advantages of Job Interviews

D.By telling some unbelievable lies.
24.In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we _____.
A. examine the resumes carefully
B. inspect the candidates aggressively
C. correct the resumes intentionally
pare one’s resume with others ’
25.What is the author ’s attitude towards job interviews?

Passage Three
Our world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable.One kind
of such birds is the coot —a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool. ”The bird has a remarkable ability to recognize amd count its eggs,”says behavioral ecologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the nunsual way the animals. Compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another’s nest to trick the host into raising the invader ’s eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.
Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these , 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however,. About half the time, coot parents rejected the strange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest. “Foreign eggs were not disappearing by chance ---and that can only mean the birds were
recognizing them, ”Lyon says. Apparently , the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.
Even if a mother coot didn ’tremove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite the apparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs and the suspicious ones. “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting wild animal world, ”the ecologist concluded.
26. The meaning of the bird ’s name “coot”probably is __________.
A. wonderful and amazing
B. unusual and remarkable
C. secret and unbelievable
D. old and silly
27. In the passage, “foreign eggs”refers to _________.
A. the eggs of the nest owners
B. the eggs of the invaders
C.the eggs from foreign countries
D. the eggs unable to be hatched
28.Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?
A. To steal some eggs from other nests.
B. To put their own eggs into
others ’nests. C. To hatch other
coots’eggs.
D. To protect their own eggs.
29.Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to the passage?
Ⅰ. Burying them deep in the nests.
Ⅱ. Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area.
Ⅲ. Hatching them as their own.
A. Ⅰ .only
B. Ⅱ .only
C. Ⅰ.land Ⅱ .
D. Ⅰ .,Ⅱ .and Ⅲ .
30. Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes that the coot has?
A. To trick other coots.
B. To fight back the tricks.
C. To be alert to the foreign eggs.
D. To recognize and count its own eggs.
Passage Four

My ideal job
Different people have different ideas about what is an ideal job.Some want to be doctors, some want to be teachers, some want to be engineers.
In my opinion, teaching is an ideal job. Teachers were low in social status in the old days, but recently their social position has been improved greatly, and it is now a fact that teachers are
held in great respect by people everywhere. In addition, I think I am by nature suited to be a teacher because I like children very much and I am patient. I can treat students as my equals.
I ’m now preparing for my future career as a teacher. I know it won’tbe easy to become a good teacher. So I ’m studying really hard not only in class, but also in everyday life. I am training my patience, improving my handwriting, and I am reading extensively to widen my scope of knowledge.
