第一部分任務(wù)型閱讀（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分）
請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格中填入最適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。每空格1個(gè)單詞。
Homework is a great way for kids to develop independent, lifelong learning skills, so here are some general homework tips for parents:
● Make sure your child has a quiet, well-lit place to do homework.
Avoid having your child do homework with the television on or in places with other distractions, such as people coming and going.
● Make sure the materials your child needs, such as some paper, pencils and a dictionary, are available.
Ask your child if special materials will be needed for some projects and get them in advance.
● Help your child with time management.
Establish a set time each day for doing homework. Don’t let your child leave homework until just before bedtime. Think about using a weekend morning or afternoon for working on big projects, especially if the project involves getting together with classmates.
● Be positive about homework.
Tell your child how important school is. The attitude you express about homework will be the attitude your child acquires.
● When your child asks for help, provide guidance, not answers.
Giving answers means your child will not learn the material. Too much help teaches your child that when the going gets rough, someone will do the work for him or her.
Cooperation with the teacher. It shows your child that the school and home are a team. Follow the directions given by the teacher.
● Reward progress in homework.
If your child has been successful in homework completion and is working hard, celebrate that success with a special event (e.g. pizza, a walk, a trip to the park) to reinforce the positive effort.

A new study has found that a fat cell gene may reduce the risk of colon cancer in some people.The study provldes what scientists say is the first evidence of a genetic link between a fat cell gene and colon cancer.The research could lead to better tests for the disease as well as measures to help prevent it．
Current evidence suggests a relationship between obesity，insulin resistance and colon cancer risk．The scientists say what they have found now is an area of a gene that is connected with the cancer risk.They say this area is most probably not the cause of the disease,but they think it is where the connection comes from.
The gene is involved in the formation of a hormone called adiponectin．Some people have higher levels of this hormone in their blood,____________．Higher levels have been
linked with lower rates of obesity and insulin resistance．And lower levels have been linked with higher rates．
The Journal of thM American Medical Association published the new findings last week．BorisPasche from the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham led the research.
Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths. Every year it kills almost six hundred eighty thousand people around the world．And doctors find more than one million new cases．The disease is highly treatable if disovered early．
The research involved two studies with a total of about one thousand five hundred people．The lager of the two studies involved Nes Yorkers of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.Coln cancer is more common in Jews of eastern European ancestry than in the general population.The other study invdVed people of different ethnicities from Chicago,Illinois.
Currently，in the United States，the general advice is for colonoscopy tests（結(jié)腸檢查）for colon cancer to begin at the age of fifty. A colonoscopy can find and remove growths before they become cancerous. But the test is invasive and can be uncomfortable.
A study last month in the New England Journal of Medicine expressde support for a test called a virtual colonoscopy.It uses X-ray and computer technology to search for growths，but cannot remove them.There are still some questions about the effectiveness of a virtual colonoscopy compared to a traditional one .But doctors hope it might appeal to people who would otherwise not be tested at all。

第一節(jié) 閱讀表達(dá)（共5小題；每小題3分，滿分15分）
閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題（請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求）。
[1] My daughter did an experiment for me two summers ago. She applied to job openings she’d found on a couple of big online job boards.    She mailed the applications and waited. And waited. After sending out 100 resumes(履歷表), specially addressed to each organization’s human resources(HR) manager, fewer than five HR departments took the time to reply, or acknowledged receipt.
[2] What happened?
[3] Maybe in the thirty seconds or so of attention that her resume received, each HR person made a snap decision. It seemed that 95 of them were unimpressioned.
[4] Or, maybe, out of the 300 other resumes HR had received that morning, they had already scheduled a requisite（必要的） number of interviews. Or, maybe HR simply forwarded her resume to the hiring manager who was supposed to call her for an interview.
[5] Or, maybe they thought her resume was fairly generic（一般的） and they didn’t have time to figure out if she might be a good fit, with the necessary skills, attitudes, and the desire to do the job.
[6] Most likely, the real reason why she didn’t get an interview was the last one. HR didn’t have time to figure out how she would work in their company.
[7] This happens all the time. I think most job seekers make the serious mistake of thinking that all they need to do is tell the HR department what they did in the past.
[8] That might be OK for some hiring managers, but most want to know the answer to one question: How can this applicant help us right now? If your resume does not answer that question, or sufficiently tell a story about how you may be able to help, you won’t have a shot at the job in this market.
[9] Before you can answer that question, however, you need to do some research on the company. Find out everything you can about the company, including the departments, the people, the products, markets, and the plans for the future.
[10] Information is power, and it is available quite easily. Don’t expect HR to figure out how you might fit into their organization. You _________ instead. This is the surest way to get the interview.
76.What’s the main idea of this passage?(within 20 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
77.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
You should tell the HR what you can do for them in your resume and then you may be able to find a job.
____________________________________________________________________________
78. Fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words.(within 8 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
79.List two of the reasons why most HR managers even didn’t give the girl a reply.
(each within 10 words)
①__________________________________________________________________________
②__________________________________________________________________________

Gates decided to drop out ( 退學(xué) ) of Harvard in his junior year to devote his time to Microsoft.
C  In 1963, Ted Turner took over his family billboard-advertising business. In 1970 he bought a failing UHF(ultrahigh frequency) television station in Atlanta, Georgia, and by 1975 Turner had transformed it into the first “superstation”—WTBS, by transmitting ( 傳送 ) low-cost sports and entertainment programs via satellite to cable systems throughout the country.
