四、完形填空（共20小題;每小题1分，满分20分）
We are often faced with stressors that are outside of our control， from rare natural disasters to everyday traffic jams. There is a good deal of evidence that 1 events are particularly stressful. This has been shown in studies of “executive rats，” in 2 two rats receive exactly the same electric shock， 3 one is given a lever （杠杆） that could be used to turn the shock off after it occurs. Over a long series of such trials， the partner rat， helpless to do anything about its pain， is more 4 to develop ulcers （溃疡） than is the “executive”.
Stress is mostly caused by 5 events. Uncertainty about an 6 makes it more disturbing. One study found that subjects who were told that they had a 5 percent chance of receiving an electric shock were actually more uneasy than 7 who were told that they had a 50 percent chance.
People make various attempts to deal with their stress—removing the 8 of the stress， seeking the support of friends or reinterpreting the situation to make it seem less unpleasant. Richard Lazarus and his colleagues have made a useful 9 between problemfocused and emotionfocused coping strategies. Problemfocused strategies are those aimed at doing something to change the problem 10 the stress. Emotionfocused strategies tend to regulate our distressing emotional responses.
Psychologists Susan Folkman and Richard Lazarus examined undergraduate students coping strategies at three time periods—two 11 before a midterm examination， a week later two days before the grades were announced， and five days after the grades were posted. 12 the exam， students tended to use such problemfocused strategies as studying—a guaranteed way to reduce the potential problems. After the exam， when their fates were sealed， if they sought out others， it was usually for emotional support.
Like other animals， humans have always been safer in groups. 13 physical protection， people provide 14 support that can reduce the psychological and physiological symptoms of stress. A lack of support can increase our susceptibility （敏感性） to illness. For instance， shortterm loneliness is 15 with a decrease in immune response （免疫应答）. In 16 ， people who have strong social ties are usually more resistant to disease. For instance， after 17 as having a life threatening disease， married people are likely to survive longer than unmarried people. People may provide appraisal support， helping us to evaluate and clarify how serious a problem is. If a professor tells you 18 he had also failed his first college algebra exam， the consequences of your failure will seem less devastating. Others can also provide informational support， 19 advice about how to deal with the problem. Finally， friends and relatives may give us instrumental support， providing material goods or services to overcome the stress. If your father lends you some money when your car breaks 20 ， you can stop tearing your hair out and just fix it.

The stereotypical notion of Chinas countryside is one filled with quaint villages and farmers tending terraced plots on the side of a mountain.

Farmers in central Chinas Henan province have found that connecting to the internet is boosting sales， profits and production.
Wang Baofeng is one of China new breed of rural entrepreneur. He was a simple farmer in Changge county， when he rented his neighbours land and expanded his farm to 1，000 mu or about 160 hectares. The 43yearold has since hired more than 40 farmhands and last September he took his business online.
“Our business model used to be focused on selling directly to local supermarkets and restaurants. It was hard to expand our customer base， so we started our online business about seven months ago. Online sales have far exceeded our expectations. Weve very happy，” Wang said.
Wang receives about 20 orders a day on his farms website. During harvest hes also received orders worth 30，000 yuan a day from his link on Taobao， Chinas largest retail platform.
Wang is not the only farmer to take advantage of the Internet. Some 125 million rural residents in China are now connected to the web.
And Henan province， one of Chinas most rural， most densely populated and least developed， is using the Internet to give local farmers a handup in the world of ecommerce.
“Weve been developing ecommerce for rural farmers for 10 years. It has boosted the provinces rural economy by at least 1.6 billion yuan a year. The next step is to improve farmers websites and guarantee the quality of their produce，” Wu Yuanqi， director of ecommerce with Henan Provincial Administration of Commerce， said.
The Internet is not only helping put cash in farmers pockets， its also helping them boost output. Wang and his staff take online courses sponsored by China Unicom. Theyre learning new farming techniques so they can grow fresher， Greener crops that are in high demand.

China will have a record number of graduates moving into the job market this summer. Seven million people will finish their studies this year and begin to think about career. But Chinas economy is slowing down; chances for jobs are not good for many new graduates.
On a recent day， many job seekers were lined up at a hotel near some of Beijings major schools; they were waiting to speak with recruiters about jobs with software， information technology and engineering companies.
One of the people at the job fair was An Tingting， a recent graduate from Henan province， she is 22yearold. She came to Beijing recently to take an information technology training course.
“I have been looking for jobs the past two weeks and I think that it is indeed hard because I graduated from a vocational school， so the level of my education is pretty low. Also， I did not study software in college， I studied education， so it is more difficult for me to find an IT job.”
New graduates also face competition from more than 200，000 students who graduated last year and are still looking for jobs.
Hu Xingdou is an economist at the Beijing Institute of Technology. He says only 30 percent of graduates can sign a contract and be employed immediately， he says the majority of students remain unemployed and looking for work.
And its not just the number of graduates that is making the job search difficult. After ten years of high growth， Chinas economy is slowing. Chinese leaders say they are struggling to keep growth at about seven percent a year. But Hu Xingdou says the biggest problem is the structure of Chinese industry. He says there are many places in China where graduate students are needed， but they are not willing to go.
Back at the job fair， Xie Zhiyong says he already has a job， but he is looking for another because he does not like his current work environment. He says it is easy to find jobs if you have some experience. Xie studied biotechnology in Jiangxi province and graduated two years ago.
Recently， Chinese Premier Li Keqiang called on companies to give more opportunities to new graduates. In response， some private enterprises have announced increases in their hiring of new graduates.
Observers say the government could go even further by giving private companies tax incentives and funding. They say the government could also try to encourage new graduates to work in smaller cities away from the coast.
4. According to the passage， why is it difficult for Chinese graduates to find a job？
A. Because chances for jobs are not good due to slowing down of Chinas economy.
B. Because jobs with software， information technology are of less importance.
C. Because new graduates also face competition from students who graduated last year.
D. Because the majority of graduates do not like their current work environment.
5. According to Hu Xingdou， which of the following is true？
A. It is the number of graduates that is making the job search difficult.
B. The structure of Chinese industry is being improved by the government.
C. He says it is easy for him to find jobs if you have had some experience.
D. Many places in China need graduate students， but they are not willing to go.
6. Observers hold the view that .
A. the government called on companies to give more opportunities to new graduates.
B. the government could go further by giving private companies tax incentives and funding.
C. some private enterprises have announced increases in their hiring of new graduates.
D. the government could also try to encourage new graduates to work in smaller cities.
7. What is the authors attitude towards chinese graduates who are to find jobs？

Chinese consumers spending patterns are changing and they are now more likely to splash out on entertainment， dining and accommodation during the sevenday National Day holiday. This trend has emerged from the payment data of outbound travelers during the vacation.
Spending on dining and hotels rose by 52.2 percent yearonyear during the break from Oct 1 to Oct 7， while expenses for entertainment and leisure activities increased by 56.6 percent. Spending on shopping rose by 30 percent.
The data was provided by China UnionPay Co—a bank card association—and UnionPay International， China UnionPays global business subsidiary.
Outbound Chinese travelers spending increased by 9 percent yearonyear and the number of transactions rose by 36 percent.
Spending on dining by these travelers rose the most in Chinas Taiwan province， Switzerland and Australia， while Thailand and the United States recorded the fastest growth in spending by Chinese on entertainment and recreation.
The data were collected from sales points and other payment channels among merchants worldwide on UnionPays global website， which covers more than 140 countries and regions.
“The data show that outbound Chinese consumers are focusing more on what they gain from their travel experiences instead of what they buy at their destinations. This shift shows a heightened awareness of ‘quality time’ during their holidays，” said Chen Han， a data analyst at China UnionPay.
Kim Joon Hee， a restaurant manager in Insadong， a tourist attraction in Seoul， the South Korean capital， said his restaurant catered for more than 100 Chinese each day during the holiday. Spending by each customer averaged about $90， a yearonyear increase of around 40 percent.
“In the past， shopping was the top priority for Chinese visitors to the city， but now they want to savor fine dining and experience Korean food as a part of their travel experience， rather than merely shopping at dutyfree stores，” Kim added.
South Korea topped the outbound destinations for travelers from China during the holiday， attracting around 160，000—up by more than 40，000 from last year.
Their spending in South Korea during the break rose by 111 percent yearonyear， followed by travelers to Germany （102 percent）， the United Arab Emirates （88 percent）， New Zealand and Spain （87 percent） and Australia （83 percent）.
Spending by Chinese visitors in Canada rose by 80 percent yearonyear， while Turkey saw a 72 percent increase and the US a 64 percent rise.
Wang Yichun， a 29yearold high school teacher from Shanghai， said she spent about $400 on a hot air balloon flight during a holiday in Turkey. “The point of traveling abroad is to do different things to what you normally do at home. I think entertainment and recreation are the most important and I am willing to spend money to have fun，” Wang said.
Feng Yun， marketing director at China Travel Services head office in Shanghai， said， “Chinese consumers are showing great interest in exploring destinations far from home.”
The number of outbound Chinese travelers has increased rapidly in the past few years and will continue to do so， according to a recent report by the World Tourism Organization.
In 2003， spending by such travelers accounted for only 1 percent of the global market， but the proportion is expected to grow to 20 percent by 2023.
Outbound Chinese travelers will make more than 100 million trips this year， spending more than $100 billion， the report said.
8. Which aspect of spending increased most during the sevenday National Day holiday？
A. Shopping.
B. Dining and hotels.
C. Entertainment and leisure activities.
D. Other expenses.
9. What can we infer from the passage？
A. North Korea topped the outbound destinations for travelers from China during the holiday.
B. The point of traveling abroad is to do different things to what you normally do at home.
C. The number of outbound Chinese travelers has a tendency to increase.
D. Outbound Chinese travelers will make more than 100 million trips next year.
10. The passage is probably from a .

六、任務型阅读（共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分）
Todays business climate is more competitive than ever， and there are more people than ever out there jostling each other for the best job in town.
How can you set yourself apart from the rest of the jobhunting herd and be noticed by potential employers？ Many organizations want people who know what they want and how to get it. They are seeking people who want to win and will work out a way of getting there.
Put on your sales cap
The most effective marketer knows how to position the product and tout all the benefits that are relevant to the needs of a buyer. Similarly， to close a sale and wow the employer， you need to expound on the benefits of the product—your strengths， work experience， industry knowledge， contacts， skills， abilities and successes—and quote examples that matter most to the companys objectives or vision. Relevancy is the key word even if you are seeking to work in a new industry. Be a networking guru
Attend various business and social networking events to increase your profile and contribute actively to these platforms by sharing your success stories， interesting case studies or market insights that you have gathered from the course of your work.
Be aware of both market and industry trends so that you can build your strengths in the hot areas of specialization， or discuss issues intelligently with potential employers or other contacts you have made at the networking events.
Know the company inside out
Demonstrate your commitment and sincerity by asking concise and focused questions about the company. The employer will see you as someone who is keen， proactive and really serious about the job as well as the organization.
Move forward
Many people tend to focus too much on presenting their past job responsibilities instead of showcasing their prior achievements and accomplishments to prospective employers. One of the secrets to marketing yourself is to use your previous work experience and successes to convince the potential employers that you possess the knowledge， expertise and skills that their company and industry need to help move them forward.
Work with a reputable headhunter
Professional recruitment consultants from reputable search firms can help highlight your most compelling transferable skills and build a strong case for you to hirers. A good recruitment consultancy can open up new career opportunities in the fields you desire and provide a multitude of potential jobs from the high profile organizations or new industries that they represent.

Dear Mr. Brown，
Recently， one of my classmates is determined to find a secure job， which caused heated discussions between my classmates. Opinions vary from person to person.
The majority of the students are in favor of
it. They hold the opinion that a secure job can ensure them a secure income， which will have a less chance of unemployment. Besides， being in a group can give them a sense of belonging. Last but not least， a regular life with strict management can make them feel safe.
On the other hand， other students have the opposite view. They dont think a secure job can ensure them a good future. Secure as the job is， the low income cant satisfy their needs and protect their own living. Besides， a secure job will limit their development space. Whats more， this kind of job has many rules to follow， which is against their own will.
As far as Im concerned， I will study hard at school and then I will find a job which is suited to my interests. （148 words）

China will have a record number of graduates moving into the job market this summer. Seven million people will finish their studies this year and begin to think about career. But Chinas economy is slowing down; chances for jobs are not good for many new graduates.
On a recent day， many job seekers were lined up at a hotel near some of Beijings major schools; they were waiting to speak with recruiters about jobs with software， information technology and engineering companies.
One of the people at the job fair was An Tingting， a recent graduate from Henan province， she is 22yearold. She came to Beijing recently to take an information technology training course.
“I have been looking for jobs the past two weeks and I think that it is indeed hard because I graduated from a vocational school， so the level of my education is pretty low. Also， I did not study software in college， I studied education， so it is more difficult for me to find an IT job.”
New graduates also face competition from more than 200，000 students who graduated last year and are still looking for jobs.
Hu Xingdou is an economist at the Beijing Institute of Technology. He says only 30 percent of graduates can sign a contract and be employed immediately， he says the majority of students remain unemployed and looking for work.
And its not just the number of graduates that is making the job search difficult. After ten years of high growth， Chinas economy is slowing. Chinese leaders say they are struggling to keep growth at about seven percent a year. But Hu Xingdou says the biggest problem is the structure of Chinese industry. He says there are many places in China where graduate students are needed， but they are not willing to go.
Back at the job fair， Xie Zhiyong says he already has a job， but he is looking for another because he does not like his current work environment. He says it is easy to find jobs if you have some experience. Xie studied biotechnology in Jiangxi province and graduated two years ago.
Recently， Chinese Premier Li Keqiang called on companies to give more opportunities to new graduates. In response， some private enterprises have announced increases in their hiring of new graduates.
Observers say the government could go even further by giving private companies tax incentives and funding. They say the government could also try to encourage new graduates to work in smaller cities away from the coast.
4. According to the passage， why is it difficult for Chinese graduates to find a job？
A. Because chances for jobs are not good due to slowing down of Chinas economy.
B. Because jobs with software， information technology are of less importance.
C. Because new graduates also face competition from students who graduated last year.
D. Because the majority of graduates do not like their current work environment.
5. According to Hu Xingdou， which of the following is true？
A. It is the number of graduates that is making the job search difficult.
B. The structure of Chinese industry is being improved by the government.
C. He says it is easy for him to find jobs if you have had some experience.
D. Many places in China need graduate students， but they are not willing to go.
6. Observers hold the view that .
A. the government called on companies to give more opportunities to new graduates.
B. the government could go further by giving private companies tax incentives and funding.

Chinese consumers spending patterns are changing and they are now more likely to splash out on entertainment， dining and accommodation during the sevenday National Day holiday. This trend has emerged from the payment data of outbound travelers during the vacation.
Spending on dining and hotels rose by 52.2 percent yearonyear during the break from Oct 1 to Oct 7， while expenses for entertainment and leisure activities increased by 56.6 percent. Spending on shopping rose by 30 percent.
The data was provided by China UnionPay Co—a bank card association—and UnionPay International， China UnionPays global business subsidiary.
Outbound Chinese travelers spending increased by 9 percent yearonyear and the number of transactions rose by 36 percent.
Spending on dining by these travelers rose the most in Chinas Taiwan province， Switzerland and Australia， while Thailand and the United States recorded the fastest growth in spending by Chinese on entertainment and recreation.
The data were collected from sales points and other payment channels among merchants worldwide on UnionPays global website， which covers more than 140 countries and regions.
“The data show that outbound Chinese consumers are focusing more on what they gain from their travel experiences instead of what they buy at their destinations. This shift shows a heightened awareness of ‘quality time’ during their holidays，” said Chen Han， a data analyst at China UnionPay.
Kim Joon Hee， a restaurant manager in Insadong， a tourist attraction in Seoul， the South Korean capital， said his restaurant catered for more than 100 Chinese each day during the holiday. Spending by each customer averaged about $90， a yearonyear increase of around 40 percent.
“In the past， shopping was the top priority for Chinese visitors to the city， but now they want to savor fine dining and experience Korean food as a part of their travel experience， rather than merely shopping at dutyfree stores，” Kim added.
South Korea topped the outbound destinations for travelers from China during the holiday， attracting around 160，000—up by more than 40，000 from last year.
Their spending in South Korea during the break rose by 111 percent yearonyear， followed by travelers to Germany （102 percent）， the United Arab Emirates （88 percent）， New Zealand and Spain （87 percent） and Australia （83 percent）.
Spending by Chinese visitors in Canada rose by 80 percent yearonyear， while Turkey saw a 72 percent increase and the US a 64 percent rise.
Wang Yichun， a 29yearold high school teacher from Shanghai， said she spent about $400 on a hot air balloon flight during a holiday in Turkey. “The point of traveling abroad is to do different things to what you normally do at home. I think entertainment and recreation are the most important and I am willing to spend money to have fun，” Wang said.
Feng Yun， marketing director at China Travel Services head office in Shanghai， said， “Chinese consumers are showing great interest in exploring destinations far from home.”
The number of outbound Chinese travelers has increased rapidly in the past few years and will continue to do so， according to a recent report by the World Tourism Organization.
In 2003， spending by such travelers accounted for only 1 percent of the global market， but the proportion is expected to grow to 20 percent by 2023.
Outbound Chinese travelers will make more than 100 million trips this year， spending more than $100 billion， the report said.

Todays business climate is more competitive than ever， and there are more people than ever out there jostling each other for the best job in town.
How can you set yourself apart from the rest of the jobhunting herd and be noticed by potential employers？ Many organizations want people who know what they want and how to get it. They are seeking people who want to win and will work out a way of getting there.
Put on your sales cap
The most effective marketer knows how to position the product and tout all the benefits that are relevant to the needs of a buyer. Similarly， to close a sale and wow the employer， you need to expound on the benefits of the product—your strengths， work experience， industry knowledge， contacts， skills， abilities and successes—and quote examples that matter most to the companys objectives or vision. Relevancy is the key word even if you are seeking to work in a new industry. Be a networking guru
Attend various business and social networking events to increase your profile and contribute actively to these platforms by sharing your success stories， interesting case studies or market insights that you have gathered from the course of your work.
Be aware of both market and industry trends so that you can build your strengths in the hot areas of specialization， or discuss issues intelligently with potential employers or other contacts you have made at the networking events.
Know the company inside out
Demonstrate your commitment and sincerity by asking concise and focused questions about the company. The employer will see you as someone who is keen， proactive and really serious about the job as well as the organization.
Move forward
Many people tend to focus too much on presenting their past job responsibilities instead of showcasing their prior achievements and accomplishments to prospective employers. One of the secrets to marketing yourself is to use your previous work experience and successes to convince the potential employers that you possess the knowledge， expertise and skills that their company and industry need to help move them forward.
Work with a reputable headhunter

Dear Mr. Brown，
Recently， one of my classmates is determined to find a secure job， which caused heated discussions between my classmates. Opinions vary from person to person.
The majority of the students are in favor of
it. They hold the opinion that a secure job can ensure them a secure income， which will have a less chance of unemployment. Besides， being in a group can give them a sense of belonging. Last but not least， a regular life with strict management can make them feel safe.
On the other hand， other students have the opposite view. They dont think a secure job can ensure them a good future. Secure as the job is， the low income cant satisfy their needs and protect their own living. Besides， a secure job will limit their development space. Whats more， this kind of job has many rules to follow， which is against their own will.
As far as Im concerned， I will study hard at school and then I will find a job which is suited to my interests. （148 words）
