C．Jack coming D．Jack not coming
答案 B [考查动名词的复合结构作主语。动名词的否定形式要将not放在动名词之前，故A项可排除。当动名词复合结构作主语时，动名词前必须使用名词所有格或形容词性物主代词，而不可用名词普通格或宾格代词代替，故C、D两项也可排除。]
8．—Can you give some explanation about the accident caused by the sons of the rich

A．In order B．In peace
C．In return D．In summary
答案 D [句意：总的来说，我觉得这部电影既感人又有趣，值得花时间去看。in summary“总的来说；概括起来”，符合题意。in order井然有序；in peace 和平地，和睦地；in return作为报答，作为回报。]

1.A.lowly B．highly C．little D．greatly
答案 B [从下句可得此答案。联系全文我们可以知道，人们对农业大学，尤其是非名牌农业大学并不看重，空前的few决定了其他答案不能入选。]
2．A.wellknown B．beautiful
C．important D．skillful
答案 A [从第三段中的“Sorry，if you had graduated from Peking University，we would take you on.”我们得知，招聘者看重的是大学的名气，而不是技能的重要性。从全文来看可排除其他选项。]
3．A.greater B．less C．fewer D．more
答案 D [本空承接上句而来，“很少有人看得起农业大学，尤其是非名牌农业大学”，因此我们大学的毕业生找工作更加困难。A、C不能修饰形容词比较级。B项与语意相反。]
4．A.accept B．find C．change D．follow
答案 B [find a job意思是“找工作”。通读全文，我们可以知道，作者谈论的是大学生找工作难的问题，而不是接受工作或改变工作，因此A、C不合题意。]
5．A.study B．understand
C．change D．follow
答案 A [作者在此将农业大学与有着令人尊敬的专业的著名大学相比。从空后的respected subjects可得此答案提示。]
6．A.need B．wish C．expect D．hope
答案 C [“预计我们大学的大多数毕业生都会被冷漠对待”，从下文一名大学毕业生的求职经历，作者作出如此预测，其他选项不合题意。]
7．A.teacher B．graduate C．parent D．professor
答案 B [从后文“Which university did you graduate from？”When the graduate...我们得知，去求职的是一名毕业生。本文讨论的是非名牌、非热门专业大学生就业难的问题，因此A、C、D不合题意。]
8．A.held B．built C．had D．offered
- 6 -
答案 A [“在广州举办的人才招聘会”。held在这里为过去分词作定语，意思是“举办”。B、D与人才交流会不能连用。have也有“举办”的意思，但不能用于被动结构。]
9．A.give B．share C．let D．hand
答案 D [联系上下文我们可以得知，这名毕业生要参加求职面试，因此他首先要递交(hand in) 他的面试推荐表。give in意思是“屈服，投降”；share in 意思是“分担”；let in 意思是“让……进入”，都不符合题意。]
10．A.time B．turn C．chance D．interview
答案 B [由前文的He joined a queue...我们知道，他是站在求职者的队伍中排队等候，因此作者说“当轮到他时”。]
11．A.address B．telephone
C．name D．number
答案 C [从后文“What？I've never heard of that university.”我们得知，这名毕业生告诉他的是作者学校的校名，而不是地址或电话。]
12．A.with B．away C．up D．without
答案 D [他甚至没有看一眼推荐表。从空后的even可以得到此答案提示。A项与语意相反，B、C两项都是副词，后面不能接doing作宾语。]
13．A.books B．subjects
C．request D．knowledge
答案 D [按照常规，面试者应该注重学生的技能和学识。]
14．A.pity B．surprised C．angry D．sorry
答案 C [听了这番话，生气是正常的。]
15．A.really B．certainly C．finally D．proudly
答案 A [由空后问句可知，作者想知道面试者想得到的究竟是什么。]
16．A.or B．and C．but D．so
答案 A [这里表示选择。]
17．A.much B．some C．many D．most
答案 B [要得到本空的答案，我们首先要弄明白作者的态度；作者对面试者拒绝农业大学的毕业生感到极度气愤。他认为农业大学的毕业生并不比名牌大学的毕业生能力差。因此他认为，从总体上来说，只有少数的农业大学毕业生不如名牌大学的毕业生。C、D有较大干扰性。但根据作者的态度来看都不如B合适。]
18．A.explain B．mean C．say D．translate
答案 B [弄明白第17空的答案此题便随之迎刃而解。some students并不能代表all of us。say的主语一般是人。]
19．A.practical B．popular C．lucky D．sure
答案 D [“...we are going to try to do as well as those from key universities.”是作者确信的内容。]
20．A.impress B．warn
C．prove D．disappoint
答案 A [“我们要用我们的技能给雇主留下深刻印象。”C有一定干扰性，空后的the employers 决定了C不正确；impress sb 意思是“给……留下深刻印象”。]
