解析試題分析：
【小題1】B第一段提出話題，“據(jù)一項(xiàng)最新調(diào)查顯示，現(xiàn)在的雇主們害怕他們雇不到符合要求的畢業(yè)生”，launch意思為“發(fā)起一場(chǎng)運(yùn)動(dòng)”，submit意為“提交，服從”，generate生成，reveal透露，揭露，顯示。這里根據(jù)段意，reveal最合適。
【小題2】. D根據(jù)句意，基本有一半的組織機(jī)構(gòu)告訴調(diào)查者他們?cè)谂ふ揖哂兴膫�(gè)方面（科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)）才能的職員。這里partners，audience, officials顯然不符合題意。
【小題3】A這里和前面已經(jīng)敘述的事實(shí)構(gòu)成并列，“同時(shí)，更多公司預(yù)測(cè)，接下來(lái)的三年他們都將會(huì)遭遇雇員四缺現(xiàn)象（科學(xué)、技術(shù)、工程和數(shù)學(xué)知識(shí)技能欠缺）”，因此排除其他三項(xiàng)。選while。
【小題4】B由第二段句首struggling可判斷，機(jī)構(gòu)組織尋找這些人才非常不易，那么這種人才顯然是不夠的，短缺的。absence是表示“缺席，不在”，不能描述短缺，因此排除。此題的另一個(gè)關(guān)鍵是確定experience的詞性，動(dòng)詞。
【小題5】.A第三段用一句話簡(jiǎn)介經(jīng)過(guò)工業(yè)聯(lián)盟調(diào)查了69個(gè)行業(yè)和組織，首先排除D和C，search是指搜查；細(xì)查某處以搜尋某人或某物，搜索；而survey是指調(diào)查某部分人的行為、意見(jiàn)等（通常以詢問(wèn)方式進(jìn)行），符合題意。
【小題6】.B根據(jù)上一題的意思，調(diào)查在公共和私人部門(mén)中展開(kāi)，后面一句的together暗示and后面的這個(gè)空是和“公共的”對(duì)立的，因此填private。
【小題7】C第四段描寫(xiě)了這個(gè)調(diào)查的具體情況。有一半人…，這里缺少動(dòng)詞，confront一般和with連用，conform 符合，遵照，confuse 使混亂，使困惑，這里根據(jù)上下文的意思，雇主們都擔(dān)心這種現(xiàn)象的發(fā)生，因此選concerned, be concerned 擔(dān)心的，煩惱的，憂慮的。
【小題8】. D本題考查詞義辨析，三分之一的被調(diào)查者坦言他們可能顧不到符合相應(yīng)資質(zhì)的雇員，只有recruit符合題意。
【小題9】.D根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)判斷，前半句是一個(gè)伴隨狀語(yǔ)，“隨著…的深入進(jìn)行，…需求越來(lái)越強(qiáng)”，而不是條件狀語(yǔ)或讓步狀語(yǔ)。
【小題10】.B這里考查介詞搭配。這里側(cè)重于描述執(zhí)行進(jìn)展的計(jì)劃的目的，選for。
【小題11】D本題考查詞義辨析。根據(jù)前文，這種需求是不斷增加的，intensify 增強(qiáng)，強(qiáng)化，變激烈；dominate指在…中占主導(dǎo)地位，這里并沒(méi)有給出一個(gè)具體的范圍，不符合句意。enforce 實(shí)施，執(zhí)行；stretch 伸展。
【小題12】.B本題比較簡(jiǎn)單，屬于送分題。前賣第二段已經(jīng)指出在四個(gè)方面技能欠缺，選項(xiàng)中顯然只有technical符合文意。
【小題13】A這里考查短語(yǔ)固定搭配。make…a top priority 讓…成為首要任務(wù)，當(dāng)務(wù)之急。
【小題14】.D這里鼓勵(lì)年輕人學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)相關(guān)的學(xué)科，從倒數(shù)第二段也可判斷。academy 學(xué)院，研究院；procedure 步驟，程序，thought 思想，不符題意，排除。
【小題15】.D這里考查考生對(duì)前后兩個(gè)完整的句子的關(guān)系的理解，主句中的would是一個(gè)虛擬語(yǔ)氣的標(biāo)志詞，據(jù)此代入選項(xiàng)if，通讀上下文，符合題意之后確定。
【小題16】.A詞義辨析題。rate評(píng)定某人、某事物的價(jià)值；order 命令，整理；discuss 討論，論述，observe 觀察，遵守。根據(jù)文意，雇主們認(rèn)為A-levels中價(jià)值最低的學(xué)科是心理學(xué)和社會(huì)學(xué)，因此選rate。
【小題17】. B文章指出現(xiàn)在雇主們需要的是具備Stem四方面素質(zhì)的人才，因此許多雇主們不贊成對(duì)某一特殊學(xué)科的專業(yè)學(xué)位，而非typical典型的，general一般的，或者是積極的positive。
【小題18】.A詞義辨析題。根據(jù)最后一句，該研究“強(qiáng)調(diào)”對(duì)…的擔(dān)憂, focus一般和on連用，其余兩項(xiàng)意義不符。
【小題19】B詞義辨析題�！疤岣哂�(guó)勞動(dòng)力的基本技能”，masses 民眾，faculty 全體教員，community 社區(qū)，團(tuán)體；整篇文章都在討論就業(yè)和雇傭，顯然選workforce。
【小題20】.C考查定語(yǔ)關(guān)系副詞。這個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句完整，由此判斷缺少關(guān)系副詞，首先排除A,B兩個(gè)關(guān)系代詞,再根據(jù)意思排除why。 Part VI Translation
考點(diǎn)：考查知識(shí)類完型
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文介紹了雇主最喜歡雇傭的人所具備的品質(zhì)。本文的質(zhì)量較高，需要考生仔細(xì)研讀文章內(nèi)容。答題前一定要讀懂全文，弄清文章要表達(dá)的思想，注意前后段落之間的關(guān)系。答題中，一定要認(rèn)真分析，注意選項(xiàng)與上下文的關(guān)系，與前后單詞的關(guān)系。對(duì)于一時(shí)沒(méi)有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來(lái)完成，因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來(lái)。答完后再通讀一篇文章，看看所選選項(xiàng)能不能是語(yǔ)句通順，語(yǔ)意連貫。

The Coalition for the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the United States. It is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, and some of which fight for the passing of laws that of over two hundred million people living in the United States,up to three million are homeless—and the number is still growing. Since the late 1970s,fast rising house prices,large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession(經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退)have made it impossbile for many Americans to meet housing costs. Sadly, this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and/or unable to find new affordable homes. According to another research,families with children appear to be the fastest-growing part of the homeless population, making up 39% of it.The old idea of a homeless person,that of the single man who gets drunk all the time,is no longer true. A much lager part of the population now finds itself homeless. Even worse, once a person becomes homeless, he often finds it impossible to find a job,since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job applicaton.

(1) What is the single largest cause of sick leave in the UK? The answer is not the common cold or flu, but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults, costs the country over £5 billion every year and is extremely difficult to treat.

(2)But now Britain's National Health Service (NHS) will be offering a new solution: acupuncture (針灸).The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many  years, but this is the first time it has been officially supported.

(3)Traditionally, doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active, do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections.

(4)The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), however, say there is evidence that acupuncture may_____ than expensive X-rays or injections, so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture, patients will be able to opt for either a course of spinal manipulation (脊椎推拿), or a series of special exercise sessions.

(5)In the UK, acupuncture is classed as a complementary treatment, which is the term given to a medical procedure which hasn't gone through the strict trials by which scientists prove some treatments work.

(6)While many experts have welcomed the move to make acupuncture available on the NHS, some are still sceptical about its effectiveness. Research from the US earlier this month found that simulated acupuncture using toothpicks which do not make a hole in the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced, back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy and mobile again. Employers, on the other hand, will be hoping it gets them back to work.

1.What's the best title of the text?(No more than 10 words)

2.Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 3 words)

Not all experts are convinced of the benefit of acupuncture although many of them have ______for the application of the treatment

3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words。(no more than 5 words)

4.What’s the difference between simulated acupuncture using tooth picks and real acupuncture?

(No more than 20 words)

5.What does the word “it”(Line 2,Paragraph 2)probably refer to? (no more than 5 words)

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010-2011學(xué)年新疆烏魯木齊第一中學(xué)高三上學(xué)期第一次月考英語(yǔ)卷 題型：閱讀理解

Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth．The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails．The fact that emails are automatically recorded—and can come back to puzzle you---appears to be the key to the finding．

Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week．In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told．Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium．He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 percent of instant messages, 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls．

His results to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists．Some expected emailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the indirect contact of emailing would make it easier to lie．Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication．

But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread, and whether it occurs in real time．People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says．This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone．

People are also more likely to lie in real time---in an instant message or phone call, say---than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock．He found many lies are spontaneous（脫口而出） responses to an unexpected demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?”

Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate．For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth．But, given his result, work assessment where honesty is a priority, might be best done using email．

1.Hancock’s study focuses on _______．

A．the consequences of lying in various communications media

B．the success of communications technologies in conveying ideas

C．people are less likely to lie in instant messages

D．people’s honesty levels across a range of communications media

2.Hancock’s research finding surprised those who believed that _____．

A．people are less likely to lie instant messages

B．people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactions

C．people are most likely to lie in email communication

D．people are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations

3.According to the passage, why are people more likely to tell the truth through certain media of communication?

A．They are afraid of leaving behind traces of their lies

B．They believe that honesty is the best policy

C．They tend to be relaxed wh en using those media

D．They are most practised at those forms of communication

4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________．

A．honesty should be encouraged in interpersonal communications

B．suitable media should be chosen for different communication purposes

C．more employers will use emails to communicate with their employees

D．email is now the dominant medium of communication within a company

No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It’s important to make the right impression (印象) from the first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are seven tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:

1. First impression is important. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code. If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what you wear, always be neat (整潔) and clean.

2. Get to work on time. Employers value workers who come to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.

3. Pay attention to introduction. One of the first things that your supervisor (主管) may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss isn’t around.

4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what your are expected to do. If he or she has not told you your job duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.

5. Don't make personal phone calls. You should never make personal phone calls to your friends and family unless it's an emergency.

6. Don’t take too long for lunch. What’s the lunch-hour policy at your new job? You can find out from your supervisor or your company’s personnel department(人事部門(mén)). For example, do people eat at their desks or does everyone take a full hour outside the workplace?

7. Never be the first one to leave. Observe how your co-workers behave around quitting (離開(kāi)) time. It does no good for you to be eager to leave.

1.Which is the best title for the passage?
