20、尤其是文章的第一段可以看出,这是一则广告,其目的就是向社会公开招聘Englishlanguage senior business 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
21、,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,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。社会生活型阅读理解(二)- (二)Some say everyday miracles(奇迹) are predestined(注定的)the right time for the appointed meeting.

22、re. 11yearold Kevin Stephen was a bat boy for his younger brothers Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July.

32、2C 正误判断题。由第四段中“He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.”可知C项表述正确，符合题意。3D 细节理解题。由第三段中“but at the last minute, her shift(换班)at the hospital had been changed to see her sons performance.”可知Penny Brown是为了看她儿子的比赛，为他加油，才
33、换了班。4A 词义猜测题。由前面的句子“Penny bent over the senseless boy”和下一段的“After his recovery”可以推出revive的意思为“苏醒，醒了过来”。5B推理判断题。当Kevin知道Penny Brown正是七年前挽救他生命的那个人时， 他的第一感觉应该是“惊讶，意想不到”；再结合本文的写作目的：奇迹无处不在，可以推出B项为正确答案。阅读理解-CCyberspace,data superhighway,multimedia,for those who have seen the future,and the linking of comp

35、tion of “for whom” is put aside once again.Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communication revolution has affected the world economy.Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries,and transnational corporations take ful
36、l advantage of it. Terms of trade and exchange, interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods.The electronic economy made by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets with a destructive impact on the have-nots.For them th

As “futures” are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies

Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries economies.Communication technology is generally exported f
39、rom the US, Europe or Japan；the patents, skills and ability remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries.

44、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 t
45、he haves to increase their control on global markets.”以及后文的论述可以看出,这里的“the 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.”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。
