　?、?閱讀填空

　　閱讀短文，根據所讀內容在表中的空格處填上適當的單詞或短語。注意：每空不超過3個單詞。

　　Losing a job is indeed very depressing. A sudden break to the regular monthly income can actually disrupt the life in a very bad way. However, nothing is permanent in life and you can do some things to deal with your unemployment.

　　First of all, don’t panic. Things do happen and they’ll continue to happen unexpectedly. Don’t get extremely discouraged and then land into depression. Believe in yourself and stay calm. Believe this is a temporary phase which is going to get over soon and thus there is no need to worry so much.

　　Once your mind is calm, try to analyze your situation. Why were you unemployed? Were you really able to do that job? Did you ever like it? Were you financially satisfied? Try to find answers to these questions. If you feel the job wasn’t of your choice, be happy! You no longer need to work there now. Soon, you’ll be finding a new job which will be of your interest.

　　Once you know the job is no longer yours, don’t complain. Think of other ways to earn money. Keep yourself very active. Call the people who can help you out or can guide you properly. Update your resume and practise interviewing skills. Look out for vacancies(空缺) in the newspaper and on the Internet daily and give as many interviews as you can.

　　After you’ve analyzed the alternatives, try to improve on your weak areas. If you feel you lack somewhere when it comes to communication, attend some lectures on the subject. If you need some technical training in your field, go ahead and complete a course that will improve your technical skills. Also, socialize with people and make your social life rich.

　　Lastly, try to promote your spirits and be happy. Don’t be nervous because things will surely fall into the right place!

　　課時作業(二十五)

　?、?1.D　as if to see＝as if he was to see。

　　2．D　be set in 意為“以……為背景”；once published＝once it is published，是省略用法，it與publish是被動關系。

　　3．B　此題考查短語意思及用法。get down to doing sth.＝set out to do sth. 著手做某事；set off 動身；set up 建立。

　　4．D　desire后可跟復合賓語，其補足語用不定式短語。suggest可構成suggest one's doing，suggest that…或It is suggested that…結構，不可構成suggest sb. to do sth.結構； hope可構成hope to do sth.，hope that…或It's hoped that…結構，不可構成hope sb. to do sth.結構。

　　5．D　hold 意為“容納”，符合句意。

　　6．A　考查省略句。所填部分作應答句的方式狀語，因主從句的主語一致，都是the workers，因此可以將從句的主語和謂語中的助動詞、系動詞或情態動詞省略，而且從句謂語動詞tell與主語workers是被動關系，故選A。

　　7．B　由句意“我沒有看到過比這更好的”，知應選better。

　　8．B　句意為：公司決定在財務部雇用一名新職員，在辦公室辭退兩名職員。take on 呈現，雇用某人，承擔；take up 拿起，占據；take over接管；take off脫衣，起飛。

　　9．D　考查時態與省略句。由前面is supposed to…soon可知應用一般將來時。will是will make his visit的省略，即“我不知道他是否會來俱樂部”。

　　10．B　考查介詞。本句如果改成：Sometimes it is not easy to seek proper answers to food safety problems.就容易解此題了。answer后接賓語時要用介詞to。

　　11．D　 考查介詞。have sth. in common with sb. 與某人有共同點；dance to 跟著樂曲跳舞。

　　12．C　考查情態動詞。dare作情態動詞，此處為它的過去式。

　　13．B　考查名詞辨析。人們都說開公司很容易，可是實際情況并非如此。這里用reality表示“現實”與前面呼應：實際情況不一樣。

　　14．A　考查動詞時態的用法。句意為“你為什么這么著急？我的電腦癱瘓了，我的論文沒完成?！保纱丝梢缘弥^語動詞應該用現在完成時，essay作主語，是被動語態。而恰巧動詞是leave，leave作“使”講，其用法是leave sth. undone，名詞和過去分詞之間是被動關系，故選A。

　　15．C　此處that引導的賓語從句作demands的賓語，故從句中用“(should)＋動詞原形”表虛擬，故選C。

　　Ⅱ.16.as　be honoured as意為“被譽為， 被授予……的稱號”。

　　17．married　根據當地習慣，他13歲結婚。

　　18．where　該空引導非限制性定語從句修飾England，且在從句中作地點狀語，故填where。

　　19．for　fight for equal rights為平等的權利而斗爭。

　　20．independence　根據“fight for an end to the British rule”而判斷此處指“結束英國統治而獲得獨立”，故填independence。

　　21．However　根據前后的轉折關系可判斷填However。

　　22．in　give in屈服。此處意為“英國政府不得不屈服”。

　　23．Unfortunately　不幸的是，甘地被槍殺了。由此判斷填Unfortunately。
