Slightly more than 7% plan to use Facebook, up from 5%. No longer do students just wait for visiting campus recruiters to learn about job possibilities. Instead they're using digital tools to find their dream jobs, says I Love Rewards CEO Razor Suleman. Companies need to know their online image, then update anything that is outdated, inaccurate or not interactive. “The recruited have now become the recruiters,” Suleman says, “They are now going out and finding the companies they want to apply for.” Students learn about employers by viewing their websites, reading Facebook and Twitter updates and perusing(精读)Linkedln profiles. Another information source：comments by past and current employees on job­oriented websites. A strong digital presence is one way for employers to stand out as the search for the best and brightest gets competitive. Slightly more than four in 10 employers say they will use “different” recruiting tactics(策略) to reach Generation Y, according to a survey by job­search site M to be released today. Of those respondents, almost 60% say social­networking sites are popular tools to reach Gen Y candidates. “Our reason for using social media is because that's where we think the candidates are,”he says. The company posts updates and videos on topics such as job opportunities and the benefits of being an employee. It also created a mobile­friendly site for those who want to apply via smartphone. “Younger people want to attach to you in a different way than the past,” Lavery says. “They want to interact with you. They want to learn about you.” The updated recruitment techniques take effort, but they work, he says. In 2010, UPS used those tactics to recruit 920 employees. The year before, it hired 29 employees through those means. “It’s a time investment that you have to be willing to do,”he says. “You can't just have a page up there and not have content. In social media, you have to have a give and a take, or people won't be a part of your community.” 1. Which of the following might be the best title of the text? A. More college graduates use social media to find jobs B. How do American graduates search for jobs? C. It's hard for American graduates to find jobs D. How do American companies employ graduates? 2. In order to find their dream jobs, more American graduates like to use________. A. newspapers B. magazines C. the Internet D. radios 3. Why do many companies use social networking sites to recruit graduates? A. Because they have no other way to get in touch with graduates. B. Because graduates tend to learn about employers through social media. C. Because companies want to post advertisements for their products. D. Because companies like to post videos and updates about their products. 4. The underlined word “recruit” in Paragraph 11 probably means________. A. fire B. attract C. contact D. employ 5. We can conclude that ________ from what Lavery says. A. it is very easy to for a company to hire graduates through social media B. a company has to make great efforts to find the best graduates C. a company doesn't have to update the information about it D. graduates are afraid to communicate with the boss of the company 四、“七选五”阅读专项 For some people charm(吸引力)is a natural gift, but for others being charming is a skill that they need to acquire in order to survive. If you want to charm someone, here are some ways on how to do it. __ 1   In order to charm someone, you must learn some facts about that person. Determine what his likes and dislikes are. Then try to find the person’s soft spots.

It helps you create an image that you are confident with yourself and show that you are interested in him. By establishing eye contact with the person you want to charm, you are actually starting a conversation with him. Show respect. By showing respect, you are expressing sincerity to that person. Learn how to politely introduce yourself. You don’t want to create an impression that you are overconfident. A handshake may be the most common way to do it. However, other traditions involve other forms of introductory gestures. 4   Always smile. Smiling is one of the basic ways to charm a person. By smiling a lot, you are creating a positive image for the person you wish to charm. Smiling is also a way of showing that person how glad you are to meet him. Remember to show a sincere and honest smile. 5 Faking a smile can make the person you want to charm think that you are not really interested in meeting him. A. Avoid pretending to smile． B. Establish eye contact． C. When the person sees that you have the same interests, you can easily charm him. D. Try to find out his tradition and follow E.

He asked her to go and meet him outside the cinema. Mike’s wife is very glad because they hadn’t seen a film for quite long time. She met her husband in the entrance to the cinema. Mike took out his wallet to get the ticket, so they were not there! He then tried his pockets, but the tickets were not there, too. Mike looked very worrying. “Well,” Mike explained, “I remember that I did with them. I put them on the desk and forgot to pick them up before leaving for the office!” 六、书面表达 假如你是某家英文报社的编辑，昨日收到一位中学生读者王丽的来信。请根据来信内容和所给的要点提示用英语写一封回信。词数120左右。 Dear Editor, I am a hardworking girl and want to be the number one in my class. But in the exams, I always make mistakes that I should have avoided. I really worry about it. What can I do to improve my performance in exams? Wang Li 提示：1．不要压力太大； 2．如有问题，请教老师或同学；3．考试时合理分配时间并尽量抽出几分钟检查。 注意：1．可以适当增加细节以使行文连贯；2．书信的开头和结尾已给出，但不计入总词数。 参考词汇：分配——distribute Dear Wang Li,[来源:Zxxk.Com] It’s good that you know what prevents you from achieving satisfying scores in exams. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Editor 一、单项选择 1. C。 根据文中young Goldie Belle used her hands to sop up (抹去) the left over elderberry juice from her father’s iron kettle. She died not long after from poisoning. 可知，小女孩用手抹去了父亲铁壶里溢出的残留物后中毒死去。故可推知“elderberry juice”有毒。 2. A。根据文中的In this age of Internet chat, videogames and reality television, there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied.可知这个时代充斥着网络聊天、电子游戏和电视真人秀，不缺少让一个孩子有得忙的没意思的活动，故推出如今很多的娱乐活动抢占孩子们的时间。 3. D。根据文中的I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自发地) told them. Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall, I offered suggestions for characters, conflicts and endings for her tales.可知D正确。 4. C。本段提及“不能喝这牛奶”是因为牛奶过期了，而不是未来的牛奶对健康有害，故A错；B项文中没有信息支持；由第四段最后一句可知杂货店里的每一种食品将都配有芯片，携带其电子信息，故C项正确；文章没有提到牛奶的保鲜时间将更长，故可排除D项。 5. C。推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的The 31­year­old Pakistani fishmonger可知，Nazir是个巴基斯坦籍鱼贩，由此可推知，他叫卖的东西应当属于鱼类。 二、完形填空 从短文的第一段可以知道该短文的主要话题是有关作者孩提时代对黑暗及被丢失的恐惧。 1. A。第2自然段的第一句在结构上是一个含有一个定语从句的强调句，被强调句的主干可以理解为“ __1 _ __2_ me so much”。 第1空是被强调部分，在被强调的句子中充当主语，其后是一个定语从句； 2. D。第2空是被强调句的谓语动词。该段后面描述的都是作者孩提时代在夜晚对一些物体的投影及声音的奇怪的表现方式的恐惧感，再结合第1自然段所表现的主题，我们可以肯定第1、2两空分别选way及frightened； 3. B。后面表示转折的并列句是对街灯及过往车灯在房间留下的投影的描述，因此可以断定第3空应该选darkness，因为其它选项与后面的描述无关； 4. C。因为只有make才能跟省to不定式结构做宾语补足语，而其它三个动词都只能跟不省to的动词不定式做宾语补足语，因此该空只能选made； 5. D。根据常识可以知道，指的是从窗户透进的街灯及过往的车灯照到挂在椅子上的衣服后投射到墙上的各种奇形怪状的影子，因此该空只能选shape； 6. A。C、D两个选项与句子的意思完全无关，不需考虑；咋一看，B选项似乎可以，但是 “out of”是“从……朝外”的意思，而窗帘是在房间里面，因此也不合句意，所以，只能选A。“out of the corner of one’s eye”的意思是“斜视”，表现了作者欲看不敢的恐惧心理，符合文段的主题； 7. B。因为在一般情况下，只有在有风的时候窗帘才会动，但现在房间里面没有风，但窗帘却似乎在动，作者害怕是房间里的野生动物使窗帘动了起来，所以才产生恐惧感，该选项符合该段的意思及文段的主题； 8. C。注意该选项与它前后两个句子之间的联系。由于晚上环境安静，即便很小的一点声音，听起来也会觉得很大，而由于作者心里非常害怕，因此就会没有节制地胡思乱想，即，“My imagination would run wild”。该空选imagination，既符合短文的主题，也符合孩子的心理特点； 9. D。既要注意上下文的联系，也要注意词义区别。从上下文的联系来看，“我”本来就是躺在床上睡觉，因此没有必要选“hide”或“rest”；此外，hide是表示动作，而根据文意来看，作者是不敢动，因为他害怕一动就会被“敌人”发现，所以他就躺在那一动也不敢动；lay是过去时，不合适，因此，只能选lie. 10. A。作者在第2自然段讲的是对黑夜的恐惧，在第3自然段讲到怕被丢失的恐惧，并特别强调这种感觉在从学校回家的路上尤其强烈，因为上学时是在家门口上车，然后直接到学校，不会有那种怕被丢失的感觉，而从学校到其它地方时，他/她则会紧紧盯着领头的人，那种感觉也不会那么强烈； 11. B。其它三个选项与上下文没有任何联系。no problem的意思是“没问
