ANiu Gensheng began his career at Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group as a milk bottle washer in 1982. Because of his hard work, Niu was soon appointed general manager. In 1999, Niu founded Mengniu Dairy Industry Group. In eight years, the 48-year-old has transformed the company from the 1116th ranked dairy producer in China to number one, a position it has held for four years. Up until 2004, the overseas market remained untapped for the dairy giant. Since then, Mengniu has made inroads into some southeast Asian nations. Still, the overseas market contributes just 10 percent of Mengniu’s sales.Niu recently sat down with China Daily reporter Ding Qingfen to talk about his experiences.Q: What’s the biggest obstacle to your consecutive （连续的）development growth?A: In China the majority of the public don’t yet recognize the importance of milk in daily life. Mengniu has to spend quite a lot educating consumers, in the hope of tapping the huge potential of the market.Q: What is your personal dream?A: I hope everyone will soon be able to afford to have half a litre of milka day. Secondly, I hope Mengniu can grow into an internationally known dairy brand.Q: What are your views on being a socially responsible entrepreneur (企业家)?A: Undoubtedly, a good entrepreneur should grow the business and profits, but more importantly, he should help others.Q: In the past eight years, what events have given you lasting impressions?A: Once on the way to visiting a Mengniu factory in Bameng, Inner Mongolia, I came across a watermelon vendor (小贩). He refused to charge me for the watermelon when he figured out who I was, happily telling me how life in Bameng had changed since Mengniu arrived. They now bred cows, earned money, and had built their own apartments.56. It can be inferred that _______.A. The overseas market is not important for an entrepreneurB. Mengniu’s sales mainly rely on the Chinese marketC. Mengniu has grown into an internationally known dairy brandD. Anyone can succeed by chance57. The underlined word “untapped” in the first paragraph means ________.A. undevelopedB. untouchedC. unknownD. unfair58. Why did the watermelon vendor refuse to charge Niu?A. Because he knew Niu.B. Because he was very rich.C. Because his life had changed since Mengniu arrived.D. Because Niu had helped him to build an apartment.59. From the passage we can know that _____.A. now everyone can afford to have half a litre of milk a day in ChinaB. Mengniu need n’t tap the huge potential of the local marketC. Niu Gensheng worked as a milk bottle washer when he was 40 years oldD. a good entrepreneur should be socially responsibleBMaking a living as a columnist is the dream of many writers, but it’s a tough field to break into. You can find columns in magazines and newspapers. If you have a way with words and love to express your own opinions, perhaps you have what it takes to write a weekly column!Generally speaking, you write in a column from your own knowledge, without having to rely on much research. Columnists typically cover their area of expertise (专长). Where do your interests lie? You may be able to create a column based on one of those interests.Studying other columns may help you work out the details of your own column. Look through a newspaper and find at least three differentcolumns. List them here and include the kind each affects.Because columns are limited to a certain amount of space in print form, columnists learn to write within the boundary.To make this project different from a personal essay, you’re going to use present tense in your column any time you describe a personal experience. Additionally, you’re going to write in the viewpoint of the second person sometimes. It may seem strange to write the words “you” and “your” in the place of “I” and “my”, but this is the way you are goin g to draw the readers into your column. Of course, the readers will recognize that you ― as the author ― are writing from your own experience, but the goal is to make the readers feel as if they are experiencing the event that you describe.60. The passage mainly tells us _____.A. how to become a columnistB. what a column isC. how to show your opinionD. what a columnist is61. The underlined word “each” in the third paragraph refers to “______”.A. opinionB. columnC. articleD. columnist62. Why are the columnists advised to write in the second person sometimes?A. T o draw the readers’ attention.B. T o ask the readers to provide more materials.C. T o provide the readers with more information.D. To encourage the readers to spend more time in reading columns.63. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. A columnist must pay attention to the national science and technology.B. To be a columnist, you should be good at expressing your ideas.C. To become a columnist, you should refer to many other columns.D. What a columnist writes is different from an essay.DSearch “blog”，“blogger” or “blogging” on the job board and more than 13,000 jobs come up. But narrow the search to job titles containing those words and the opportunities go down to just over 50.The bottom line is this: While running a Web log is a skill that more and more employers seek in their employees, finding full-time work in that world is still unusual.As blogs gain in popularity, they have become a communications tool within companies, from the C.E.O. on down. Demand is growing for employees who can write them or have the ability to support them.“There’s almost an ecosystem of jobs that have appeared aroundblogs,” said Paul Forster, chief executive at . “It’s a new area where there are many more opportunities related to the blog rather than simply being a blog writer.”A recent posting by the search firm S4 Partners sought someone with an understanding of the world of blogs and the software used to support them. The goal of the company was to find a blog administrator (管理员), to establish a blog and to run it.Robert Scoble, well-known for his technology blog, said that more people — including those at the top — were blogging as part of their jobs with major corporations, from I.B.M. to General Motors to Southwest Airlines.“There certainly are more and more people who are doing blogg ing work, at least as part of their job,” Mr. Scoble said. He noted that PodTech, an online technology and video entertainment network where he is vice-president for media development and has his own show, hires bloggers, but not just because they can blog.64. This passage mainly tells us _____.A. the blog technologyB. a new kind of technologyC. the disadvantages of blogsD. a new source of jobs65. The underlined word “unusual” in the second paragraph means_______.A. commonB. rareC. familiarD. strange66. As blogs have become a communications tool within companies, ____.A. finding full-time work in that world will be commonB. office workers are required to learn how to write blogs and run themC. employees who have a good knowledge of blog technology are in great demandD. more and more companies use blogs to publish their employment ads67. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. A blog writer is not a popular job.B. More and more employers expect their employees to be able to run a blog.C. S4 Partners is looking for an employee who can establish and run a blog.D. Robert Scoble is vice-president for media development at PodTech.D“If you’re busy preparing for your job interview now, you could learn a lot by watching this show,” says Joe Turner.Mr. Turner says American Idol (美国偶像) has many lessons to teach an employee about making an impression in a job interview, especially selling your strengths and skills.To win on American Idol, “you don’t have to be the best singer, just the most memorable singer,” he said. “Same for the job interview — you don’t have to be the best employee with the top skills, but you do have to be the most memorable employee worth being hired.”The No.1 thing in an interview and a job search is knowing your audience. For American Idol competitors, the judges and voting (投票的) public are the audience; for job hunters, it’s the hiring manager.Just as talented American Idol competitors lack confidence when singing the wrong song, job hunters can fail to be chosen when they fail to present their skills according to the employer’s needs.“Difference” is how Mr. Turner describes the way American Idol competitors stand out among singers who may be equally good.In the real world, the right skills, education and experience still make one’s ability different or memorable. But it’s important for the job hunter to present “something special” that he or she has to offer.A recent survey suggests that managers often sense whether they’ll hire someone within minutes after the first handshake. Just as an Idol competitor prepares for performances, a job hunter should prepare carefully to make the first good impression.Job hunters also can learn from past American Idol winners who proved an ability to recover from setbacks. If they can take feedback (反馈), make improvements and make sure they’re better prepared the nextgo-round, that will pay off eventually.68. The purpose of the passage is _______.A. to persuade readers to take part in American IdolB. to praise the winners of American IdolC. to advertise for American IdolD. to tell job hunters what they can learn from American Idol69. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. if a job hunter fails to be chosen for one job, he or she will never succeedB. job hunters should distinguish themselves from other applicantswhen interviewingC. the skills, education and experience are the keys to your successD. an American Idol competitor is never the same as a job hunter70. The underlined word “setbacks” in the last paragraph means ________.A. failuresB. successesC. performancesD. advantages71. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The reason that you are planning to change your job.B. The best singer may not win on American Idol.C. An employer may have the opinion on a job hunter within minutes.D. How an American Idol competitor can stand out among singers.EAlthough many online personality tests are fun, only a few will really give you insight into who you are and what you are supposed to be doing with your life.At we believe that each individual, regardless of （不管）race or religion, has a purpose in life, and until you discover what your purpose is, you will not find true happiness, nor true job satisfaction.This doesn’t mean you won’t be successful. It just means you won’t be happy until you are moving towards your true purpose.Unfortunately, our school system does very little to help students discover their true career. This is where online personality tests and career tests can help.Online personality tests and career tests can help you better understand what type of work you should be doing to achieve job satisfaction, happiness, and success.Personality tests are most u seful in giving you insight into “how” your personality compares to others and “how” you like to work.In particular, if you frequently experience difficulty working with others, or getting their support and cooperation, a really good personality test would show you how to get along better.While personality tests are very useful at showing you how you like to work and how you like your work environment, they are not really designed to show you “what” type of work is right for you.That is where Career Interest Tests come in. Online Career Tests, such as the offers will help you discover what your true interests are, and what type of work you will be passionate (热诚的) about.But back to personality tests. The most well-established personality tests are the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator R, and the Enneagram.72. The underlined word “insight” in the first paragraph means _____.A. theoryB. demandC. understandingD. term73. You can’t achieve true job satisfaction unless you _____.A. find your true purpose in lifeB. choose the best workC. get along well with othersD. adapt to the work environment74. The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is _____.A. to recommend some popular online personality testsB. to inform readers of online personality and career testsC. to tell the differences between some popular online testsD. to persuade people to take online personality or career tests75. What will the writer most probably talk about next?A. The differences between personality tests and career tests.B. The similarities between personality tests and career tests.C. The reasons why personality and career tests are popular.D. The details of the two most well-established personality tests.第一节短文填词（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2）首字母提示，3）语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，It had rained for a few days. I felt very 1 （厌烦的）.
