Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do―especially in a tight job mar?ket. Bob Crossley,a humanresources expert notices 1        in the job applications that 2        his desk every day. "It's 3       how many candidates eliminate themselves," he says.

"Resumes (簡歷) 4       with stains. Some candidates don't 5        to spell the company's name correctly. Once I see a mistake,I eliminate the candidate," Crossley concludes, "If they cannot take care of these 6       ,why should we 7        them with a job?"

Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle 8        little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. "To keep 9        losing the forest for the trees," says Charles Garfield,associate professor at the University of California,San Fran?cisco ,"we must constantly ask ourselves 10        the details we're working on 11        into the larger picture. If they don't,we should 12        them and move to something else."

Garfield compares this process 13        his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon 14        was slightly offcourse 90 percent of the time," says Garfield. "But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact 15        of our goal. This allowed us to 16        adjustments as necessary."Knowing where we want to go 17        us judge the im?portance of every task we undertake.

Too often we believe 18        accounts for others' success is some special secret or a lucky break (機(jī)遇) .But rarely is success so mysterious. Again and again,we see that by doing 19        things within our grasp well,large rewards 20       .

本文是一篇富有哲理性的議論文。作者從我們身邊瑣事談起，深入淺出地說明了一條道理：要成就一番大事業(yè)，必須從小事做起。1. B本題有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)難度，需仔細(xì)分析句子成分。

this在這作賓語。不能選it作形式賓語代替后面的that從句，因?yàn)閠hat引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)定語從句，修飾先行詞applications ,并作主語。

A和D均不能用在此處。

2. D該空的四個(gè)短語的意思是：come true實(shí)現(xiàn)，達(dá)到;come into being形成，產(chǎn)生;come over過來，抓住;come across來到，偶遇，交付。故應(yīng)選擇D項(xiàng)。

3. C "正是不注重小節(jié)，許多求職者自己把自己淘汰出局"這一現(xiàn)象令人吃驚，而不是"令人興奮和感興趣"。

B項(xiàng)的"疑惑"也不對(duì)。不是對(duì)此不解，而是令人不安、吃驚和震驚。

4. C此處arrive意為"遞交上來的"，不要誤理解為本空是go with這一搭配的短語;另兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)不符合句意。

5. A此句的意思是"有些求職者竟然嫌麻煩把要應(yīng)聘的公司名稱拼寫正確"。

B是不喜歡,C是不同意,D是不關(guān)心，都與題意不符。

6. D上下文有多次提示，我們身邊的小事、小節(jié)均使用details—詞。

7. B根據(jù)空后的with a job可知give,offer均不能用在此處。

believe僅是相信的意思不符合題意。而trust除了信任以外，還有給予、提供的意思。

8. C此處的struggle over是"關(guān)于什么的斗爭"；而不是"為什么、與什么"以及"反對(duì)什么的斗爭"。請(qǐng)見下面的例句：Their struggle over prices finally ended in a satisfactory settlement.他們關(guān)于價(jià)格的斗爭最后得到了令人滿意的解決。

9. A keep from是"防止、阻止"之意。其他選項(xiàng)與此處不符。

10. D本句的意思是"……與這幅圖畫配得怎么樣"因此要選D項(xiàng)。

C項(xiàng)whether有一定干擾,不過我們還是可以從句意上來做出正確的判斷。不能理解為"是否配得上"。

11. B suit是及物動(dòng)詞，不需要跟into連用;get into與句意不符;adapt要與to連用。故應(yīng)選B項(xiàng)。

12. C此處drop意思是"放棄；斷絕(往來) ；停止同某人交往"之意。如：He seems to have dropped most of his friends.他好像與大多數(shù)的朋友不再來往了。

A、B兩項(xiàng)不符題意。

D項(xiàng)give in為不及物動(dòng)詞詞組，不能用在此處。

13. A compare只與with或to連用。意為"與

……相比較"，"把……比作"。此處應(yīng)選A項(xiàng)。

14. A A項(xiàng)是指火箭的"發(fā)射"，其他與句意不符。

15. D D的意思是"坐標(biāo)"，句意為"我們目標(biāo)的精確坐標(biāo)或定位"，A選項(xiàng)就成了"目標(biāo)的目標(biāo)"不對(duì)。

B項(xiàng)是"安排"，C項(xiàng)是"決心" 都與句意不符。

16. B此處是一詞組make adjustments to sth. 其他選項(xiàng)均不符合題意。

17. C請(qǐng)注意選空后原形動(dòng)詞的形式，據(jù)此可排除B和D項(xiàng)。

benefit是不及物動(dòng)詞，需介詞from連用，不符合本題的要求。

18. A注意后面的is,本空要選填主格代詞作主語。

that在名詞性從句中僅起連接作用，在句中不作任何成分。而which和as都是要連接定語從句，在此處不妥。

19. D上下文有多次提及,身邊的小事要用lit?tle,此處不用few。

20. B bring和produce都是及物動(dòng)詞與本處不符，本句的意思是"只要我們做好力所能及的身邊小事，回報(bào)就會(huì)隨之而來"。 succeed 一詞與句意不符。

  The socalled "ancestor effect" appears to work by acting as a reminder to the brain that seemingly impossible barriers can be overcome.

  In intelligence tests on 80 volunteers,scientists found a noticeable improvement among those who were asked to spend a short while considering what previous generations of their fami?lies had suffered. Those who simply had to recall a more ordinary memory did not fare well.

  The findings suggest remembering the hardships of grandparents,great grandparents and even longforgotten ancestors,seems to have a direct benefit on the brain's ability to meet the demands for its intelligence.

  Researchers reported, "Our ancestors managed to overcome lots of problems,such as bad illnesses,wars,loss of loved ones and economic problems. So when we think about them,we are reminded that humans who are genetically similar to us can successfully overcome a plenty of problems and misfortunes."

  To test their theory,the scientists tested 80 students. They were asked to spend five mi?nutes thinking about their ancestors or a recent trip to the shops. Immediately afterwards,the students were asked how confident they felt about upcoming exams. Those in the two groups that remembered lost generations were more confident about their chances of success. The students then underwent a range of intelligence tests. In one,the"ancestor effect" boosted scores to 14 out of a maximum16,compared with just 10 out of 16 in the other group.

  In a report on their findings the researchers said, "We showed that an easy reminder about our ancestors can significantly increase intellectual performance. Whenever people are in a situa?tion where such performance is extremely important,such as exams and job interviews,they have an easy technique to increase their success."

iy China's first aircraft carrier began sea trials Wednesday,marking a milestone in the country's rapid military modernization and longterm strategy to challenge U. S. military su?premacy in Asia and project power far beyond Chinese shores.

The 300-meter-long carrier,based on an empty hull bought from Ukraine,sounded its horn three times as it ploughed through the morning fog around Dalian and headed out to sea,accord?ing to one witness writing on the military microblog of the staterun Xinhua News Agency.

The carrier,featuring its original skijump runway to launch fighters and a new engine and radar equipment,has been undergoing refurbishment (重新裝備) for the last decade in the north?eastern port.

Xinhua said the sea trials " would not take a long time”，without giving details of the exact duration or say what sort of tests would be carried out. " After returning from the sea trial,the aircraft carrier will continue refit and test work," it said.

The provincial Maritime Safety Authority said on its web site that all vessels will be barred (被禁止的) from entering a small section of sea off Dalian until 6 p. m. local time Aug. 14.

The launch had long been expected as final preparations of the vessel―which has yet to be named by China ― were visible from many points around Dalian and had been regularly photographed and documented online by amateur enthusiasts.

A Chinese company purchased the empty hull of a carrier called the Varyag from Ukraine in 1998 on the understanding that it would be used as a floating casino,but it was later towed (4& 曳) to Dalian via the Black Sea,the Mediterranean and the Straits of Malacca.

China officially acknowledged only last month that it was refurbishing the vessel,and tried to ease regional concerns by saying it would be used for "research,experiments and training" and would take a long time to become fully operational.

China is the only one of the five permanent members of the U. N.Security Council,which includes theU. S.，Britain,FranceandRussia,without an operational carrier.IndiaandThai?landhave a carrier each,whileJapanhas one that carries helicopters.

   A. a significant event in one's life or in a project

(   ) 2. Which of the following does the passage NOT cover?

   C. Though intending to own its aircraft carrier,Chinawould not threat or challenge any country purposely.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it high?ly,believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad;that it sets one. person against another;that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their selfworth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them,playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their singleminded pursuit (追求) of success; the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However,while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed,others take an opposite atti?tude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players,they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people,I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying,they always have an excuse："I may have lost. But it doesn't matter because I really didn't try. " What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost,that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly,this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's selfrespect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (緩解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.

(   ) 5. What is the main meaning of this passage?

   A. Some people value competition highly to set up selfrespect.

   B. People have different opinions about competition.

   C. Competition sets one person against another.

   D. Some people seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.

(   ) 6. Why do some people think highly of competition according to the passage?

   A. It does good to push society forward.

   B. It helps to gain selfrespect.

   C. It improves personal life attitude.

   D. It strengthens personal relationship.

(   ) 7. The true competitors also have a wrong belief that they think        .

   A. one's worth lies in how well one performs compared with others

   B. one's success in competition needs great responsibility

   C. competition is the only way to prove themselves

   D. other human qualities are not fully necessary

(   ) 8. Which of the following can best describe the writer's point of view?

   A. Everyone should try to win or achieve success in competition.

   B. Different opinions towards competition should be encouraged.

   C. Playing well and winning are really a life-and-death matter.

   D. Trying though losing is quite a different matter from even not doing anything.
