Ⅳ.阅读理解 Dear Ms Smith,
It is with great interest and enthusiasm that I am applying for the arts education internship (实习) advertised in Sunday’s The New York Times. This position is exactly what I am looking for and an ideal opportunity for me to use my knowledge, educational background and experience.
My arts education at Pratt Institute has helped me develop a firm foundation in the arts. The courses I have completed at Pratt, along with my study abroad in Paris, have prepared me well for a position in arts education. I have always enjoyed a passion for the arts but my undergraduate (本科) education has taken my interest to a whole new level. I not only enjoy doing art but I find myself even more enthusiastic when I have the opportunity to teach what I have learned.
For the past two summers I have worked directly with children at City Arts. These experiences are amazing since my responsibilities include planning and directing major projects that are planned for the summer programme that goes on each year for local children interested in the arts. I was given a concept at the beginning of each summer and I had complete control of how the projects were to be completed. The children were the creative force and often were the inspiration for the artwork that was eventually presented to the public.
I am very excited about the summer opportunity with the Children’s Museum of the Arts since I know that I can definitely make a positive contribution while doing what I love—teaching art to children. I will contact you in one week to discuss my candidacy (候选资格) and see if you have any questions about my education or experience. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Samantha R.Gray

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Andrew Engel was completely confused. Just days into his freshman year at Rutgers University, he was sitting in class, listening to 1. students having a discussion. He had no idea 2. they were talking about. He had done his homework, paid attention to lectures and taken notes, but nothing was familiar. “Everyone is so much 3. (smart) than I am,” he thought. It was a foreign feeling, as he’d always been a good student and 4. (graduate) from high school with a 3.9 GPA.
The rest of his day progressed like an episode of The Twilight Zone. He got 5. (lose), again, on his way to the cafeteria, even though he’d been there a few hours earlier. Back at his dorm, he greeted his room-mate with a “Hi, how’s it going?” while thinking, “What is his name again?”
He was acting 6. a person with Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默氏病,即老年痴呆病), 7. he was only 17. By the end of September, he’d dropped a class and was studying with 8. tutor, yet he was still struggling. He decided he had no 9. (choose) but to drop out, telling his 10. (puzzle) parents he wasn’t cut out for college.

Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文。作者以书信的形式寻找工作机会,叙述了自己教孩子艺术课的条件、寻求工作的心情等。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话“…I am applying for the arts education internship (实习) advertised in Sunday’s The New York Times.”可知作者写信目的是得到一个教孩子艺术课的机会。 2.D 段落大意题。第二段主要叙述Gray 所接受的教育情况,结合本段最后一句“I not only enjoy doing art but I find myself even more enthusiastic when I have the opportunity to teach what I have learned.”可知Gray对机会的乐观认识。
3.B 细节理解题。第三段主要叙述Gray的工作经历和工作当中的一些做法,从中可以看出Gray对学生的爱和对工作的认真态度。文中没有提到Gray的家庭背景,B项正确。 Ⅴ.【文章大意】 文章介绍了一位因无法适应大学生活而打算辍学的学生。 1.other 考查形容词。 根据上下文可知Andrew在教室里听着其他学生讨论问题。 2.what 考查名词性从句。what引导同位语从句,在从句中充当宾语。
3.smarter 考查形容词的比较级。 根据后文的than可知此处应使用形容词比较级。
4.(had) graduated 考查动词时态。 根据上下文可知Andrew上大学之前以高分从高中毕业,所以用过去完成时表示过去的过去,但因前面已经有had,所以此处可以省略。 5.lost 考查过去分词。 短语get lost 表示“迷路”。 6.like 考查介词。 短语act like 表示“表现得像……”。 7.although/though 考查连词。 连词引导让步状语从句。
8.a 考查冠词。名词tutor前用冠词,因是第一次提到,所以用不定冠词。 9.choice 考查名词。句子缺少宾语,故填名词。
10.puzzled 考查形容词。 形容词作定语修饰后面的名词parents,表示“困惑的父母”。
