11、editors,senior copy editors,copy editors and graphic designers 4个岗位上的员工。由此可以判断,答案是C项。7答案D解析细节理解题。由Graphic Designer的招聘要求可以看出：Writing snappy headlines and captions并非Graphic Designer所要求具备的。8答案C解析细节理解题。前三个职位的叙述中都提到了对“editing experience”的要求,只有最后一个岗位没有这方面的要求,故C项为正确答案。9答案A解析标题判断题。文章第一段已点明了文章的主旨与目的,就是要招聘人员,
12、所以A项所说的“中国日报社招聘员工”最能概括全文的大意,故可排除其他三项。10答案C解析细节理解题。由第一段的叙述可以看出,员工可以“享受11天的公共假期”。其他三项都不符合原文的叙述。故C为正确答案。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。Cyberspace,data superhighway,multimedia,for those who have seen the future,and the linking of computers,televisions and telephones will change our lives for ever.Yet for
13、 all the talks of a forthcoming technological utopia,little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor.As for all the new high technology,the West concerns itself with the “how”,while the question of “for whom” is put aside once again.Economists are only now real

16、 of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine. As “futures” are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies.So what are the options of regaining control？One alternative for devel

Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries economies.Communication technology is generally exported from the US, Europe or Japan；the patents, skills and ability remain in t
18、he hands of a few industrialized countries. It is also expensive, therefore imported products and services must be bought on credit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain.11. From the passage we know that the development of high technology is in the interests of_.Athe r

22、eCforce them to reduce their share of exportsDcost them their economic independence15The authors attitude towards the communication revolution is_.Apositive BcriticalCindifferent Dtolerant全解全析 11. 答案A解析考查推理判断。文章第一段最后一句指出,西方国家关心的是自己“如何”利用这些新技术,而这些新技术“为谁”的问题再一次被抛到了一边；第二段最后一句则说,电子经济让拥有这项技术的国家加强了对全球市场的控
23、制,而对没有这一技术的国家产生了破坏性的影响。因此可以推断出这些技术代表的是西方发达国家的利益。12答案B解析考查推理判断。文章第一段第二句指出“.little attention has been given to.the poor”,即很少有人注意这些发展对穷人的意义。而由后文的论述可以看出这里的“穷人”指的就是发展中国家,因此这句话的意思实际上就是这些发展并没有顾及发展中国家的利益。13答案A解析考查细节理解。根据第二段最后一句“.allows the haves to increase their control on global markets.”以及后文的论述可以看出,这里的“t
24、he haves”指的就是西方发达国家,因此答案为A项。14答案D解析考查细节理解。文章第四段最后一句说“Yet this leads to long-term dependency.economies (然而这会导致长期的依赖,也许会对发展中国家的经济产生永久性的制约)”,也就是说会使发展中国家失去经济独立。15答案B解析考查作者态度。本题较为简单,通过文中措辞,如第一段“little attention has.for the poor”；第二段“Economists are only now realizing.”；第三段“For them the result is unstable.
25、”等不难看出作者对这种代表着发达国家利益、不顾及发展中国家利益的通讯革命是持批评态度的,故选B；误选C项和D项是由于不理解词义所造成的。阅读理解。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。I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.
