Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. In Shanghai, a growing number of foreign-funded banks are looking for local people to fill executive positions (行政主管的岗位)rather than people from their own countries as they did in the past. U. S. -based Citibank (花旗银行) put a job announcement in a local newspaper last week calling for executive trainees. It was part of Citibank's business plan in China to draw local professionals(专业人员). Demand for personal banking services has been on the rise since China joined the World Trade Organization at the end of 2001. The move does not only happen to Citibank. Many other foreign-funded banks in the city have made similar decisions. The U. K. 's Standard Chartered last year employed over 30 graduates from Chinese universities and colleges as executive trainees. They are expected to take up managerial positions at the bank's Shanghai branch after a two-year training program overseas. The Hung Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) has announced it will employ more new graduates in China in the coming year. Local people account for over 92% of the office workers in its Shanghai operation.

2. The "executive trainees" (Line 3, Para. 1) are probably those who are______.
A.persons to train other people
B.persons to be trained
C.executives
D.leaders in the bank
A B C D
B
[解析] 语义题 [解析] 题干意为“第一段第三行中的‘executive trainees’可能是指哪些人?”本题考查名词trainees的含义。根据文章第一段最后一句“They(承前指代executive trainees) are expected to take up managerial positions at the bank's Shanghai branch after a two-year training program overseas”可知,他们被招募来首先要经过培训,所以trainees的意思是“见习生,实习生”,故选B。
3. Banks like Citibank look for local people to fill executive positions because______.
A.there is an increasing demand for personal banking services
B.there are more and more local professionals
C.China has joined the World Trade Organization
D.China has more and more executive trainees
A B C D
A
[解析] 推理题 [解析] 题干意为“像花旗银行一样寻找本地人作他们的行政主管是因为______?”从文中“Demand for personal banking services has been...at the end of 2001”可得出选项A为正确答案。而选项C只是造成“increasing demand for personal banking services”的原因,并非外资银行招募中国员工的直接原因,故选A。
4. HSBC probably is the name of______.
A.some executives
B.some local people
C.a city
D.a bank
A B C D
D
[解析] 细节题 [解析] 题干为“HSBC可能是______的名字。”由第二段句首“The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC)”可知,它是The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation的缩写,所以HSBC是一家银行的名称,故选D。
5. According to the passage, after they have been employed the Chinese graduates would______.
A.be trained for 2 years in Shanghai
B.be sent to overseas for training
C.do some work of executives in Shanghai
D.take up managerial positions at the branch
A B C D
B
[解析] 细节题 [解析] 题干意为“根据文章,中国大学毕业生在被聘用后将______。”从原文第一段句末“They are expected to...after a two-year training program overseas”可知,大学毕业生首先要送往国外受训两年,而非留在上海受训,所以A不正确,而C和D则是受训归国之后的事,因此应排除。故选B。
Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. Job letters and resumes must attract the attention of busy readers, who may spend only 60 seconds deciding whether to consider you further. This article gives you the tools to write a successful letter and resume. "Successful," of course, means a letter and resume that will get you an interview. After that, your interpersonal skills will help you land the job. The letter and resume only aim to get you to the next step--the personal interview. Most job letters and resumes still get sent through the mail. However, a growing number of applicants (申请人) use the Internet to apply for jobs. For example, on-line services can place resumes into a bank used by hundreds, perhaps thousands, of companies. The resumes will be scanned with the use of software, which searches for key words that reflect abilities needed for specific jobs and then sends selected resumes to companies. Whether you use on-line techniques like e-mail and resume services or stick with the traditional approach(方式) the same basic writing principles apply. Your letter, no longer than one page, should be specific about the job you seek and your main selling points. The resume--one page or two at most--should simply, specifically, and neatly highlight(强调) your background.
1. A successful letter and resume will help you______.
A.gain tools
B.get an interview
C.make decision
D.become attractive
A B C D
B

A.show you interpersonal skills

B
[解析] 细节题 [解析] 题干意为“通过文章可知,写求职信和工作简历的目的是______。”从第一段末“The letter and resume only aim to get you to the next step-me personal interview”中可以推知,写求职信和工作简历的目的是争得面试的机会,故选B。
4. Most people still send their letters and resumes through______.
A.e-mall

A B C D
D
[解析] must have done表示对过去所发生的事情的猜测,且语气较为肯定;for引导原因状语从句,意为“因为…”;wake up意为“醒来”,是不及物动词短语,没有被动语态,因此不能翻译成“被叫醒”;A选项主从句部分均翻译错误,B、C项主句虽然都翻译出了猜测语气,但肯定程度同原句有所差异。

[解析] 第一句是一个定语从句,但鉴于后面定语过长,因此把原句拆开翻译更符合汉语语言习惯。there is more than buildings in Beijing此句应联系上下文把汉语意思补充完整,因为前面谈的是北京充满吸引力的地方,因此,这句话的意思就是“在北京,充满吸引力的东西不仅仅是建筑”。
