第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

The purpose of a letter of application(求职信) 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 have 37 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 38 out any necessary facts.

In writing a letter of application, keep in 39 that the things a possible employer is most 40 to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 41 the first few sentences fail to 42 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be 43 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not 44 your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 45 in today’s newspaper,” you might say “I have made a careful 46 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 47 your product and why they like it.”

Try to 48 generalities(概述). Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 49 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I 50 in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no 51 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is 52 .

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 53 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 54 is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 55 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

36. A. easily B. carefully C. obviously D. clearly

37. A. done B. found C. known D. heard

38. A. sending B. leaving C. taking D. picking

39. A. brain B. sight C. mind D. order

40. A. probable B. possible C. able D. likely

41. A. While B. Although C. If D. As

42. A. win B. pay C. show D. fix

43. A. kept B. read C. written D. continued

44. A. from B. for C. into D. to

45. A. article B. report C. advertisement D. introduction

46. A. watch B. study C. search D. discussion

47. A. use B. make C. sell D. change

48. A. gain B. remember C. protect D. avoid

49. A. applying B. losing C. preparing D. fitting

50. A. offer B. supply C. provide D. mean

51. A. worker B. manager C. owner D. beginner

52. A. success B. experience C. practice D. development

53. A. State B. Ask C. Make D. Get

54. A. result B. idea C. promise D. decision

55. A. easier B. happier C. cheaper D. safer

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

A

London taxis, with their friendly drivers who actually know where they are going, are ranked best in the world, according to an annual taxi poll(调查).

The survey by travel website hotels.com found London taxis, despite being the most expensive, beat rivals across the globe to head the list for the third consecutive years, scoring a total of 59 percent in votes on several categories by travellers.

London taxi drivers were voted both friendliest and most knowledgeable. Drivers in the English capital must pass a rigorous examination called The Knowledge to earn their taxi licence.

New York’s yellow taxis came second in the list, scoring 27 percent which was up 10 percentage points from last year even though Manhattan’s cab drivers tied with Parisian taxi drivers as the rudest.

Travellers said New York had the most available taxis.

Cabbies in Rome were voted the worst drivers in the world with almost one in 10 travellers thinking the Italian capital had the world’s worst taxi drivers when it came to the quality of driving.

“Travelling by taxi is one of the first experiences that many travellers have upon arrival in a new city. In fact, the research found that cabs are by far the most popular method of travelling from t
