These changes make it much easier for in-house employees to fill vacancies that occur. First, the most important difference is that employees will now be notified of all available positions before the positions are advertised for the general public. Accordingly, all in-house candidates will be interviewed before we see any outside candidates, and we will offer the job to outside candidates only if no current employees are able to fill the position. Second, under the new procedure, in-house employees can be hired even if they don’t meet all job requirements. Under our old policy, in-house employees had to meet all job qualifications in order to obtain the vacant position. Now, however, employees who have proven themselves dedicated to the company will be hired for a vacant position even if they are lacking in some minor qualifications; training will be provided. A third change involves recommendations. From now on, employees do not need to be recommended for an in-house position before they apply. Instead, employees may apply as soon as they are aware of the vacancy. The remaining procedures and policies (those regarding increase in pay, interview procedure, and hiring approval) remain the same. 4. What can we infer from the second change? A. It becomes difficult for the company to find qualified employees. B. The employees’ loyalty is highly valued by the company. C. The company has lowered the requirements for some positions. D. More and more training will be offered by the company. 5. According to the new hiring procedures and policies, which of the following is NO longer needed? A. A job application. B. An interview. C. A recommendation letter. D. A hiring approval. 6. What might be the impact of the changes made within the company? A. More outside applicants will be attracted. B. Higher salaries will be offered to the employees. C. The procedures of vacancy application will be simplified. D. In-house employees will have a better chance to fill the vacancy. 7. Where do we most probably find this text? A. On a poster about the company. B. In a hiring advertisement. C. In an inter-department email. D. In a personal notebook. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章向申请公司空缺职位的员工介绍了程序的几处变化。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Now, however, employees who have proven themselves dedicated to the company will be hired for a vacant position even if they are lacking in some minor qualifications; training will be provided.(然而，现在，那些证明自己对公司忠心耿耿的员工将被聘为空缺职位，即使他们缺乏一些小资格；培训将会被提供。)”可知，那些可以证明自己对公司忠心的员工，即使缺乏一些小的资格，也会获得培训资格，由此可推断出，公司高度重视员工的忠诚度。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“From now on, employees do not need to be recommended for an in-house position before they apply. (从现在起，员工在申请之前无需被推荐担任内部职位。)”可知，根据新的招聘流程和政策，员工申请之前不需要推荐信。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These changes make it much easier for in-house employees to fill vacancies that occur.(这些变化使内部员工更容易填补出现的空缺。)”以及文章内容可知，内部员工将会有更好的机会填补出现的空缺。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There are several changes in the procedure for employees who wish to apply for vacant positions within the company. (对于希望申请公司空缺职位的员工，程序有几处变化。)”以及文章内容可知，文章是面对想要申请公司空缺职位的员工的，推测文章可能出自跨部门的电子邮件中。故选C项。 C Ever wondered how many Tyrannosaurus rex (霸王龙) ever walked around the Earth? The answer is 2.5 billion over the two million or so years in which the species existed, according to a calculation published today in Science. The figure has allowed researchers to estimate just how rare it is for animals to fossilize. Researchers led by Charles Marshall used a method employed by ecologists studying contemporary creatures to estimate the population of T. rex during the late Cretaceous period. The team used their estimates of the total range of T. rex across modern North America, combined with their estimates of the dinosaur’s weight, to calculate that, at one time, around 20,000 T. rex would have been alive on the planet. That translates to around 3,800 T. rex in an area the size of California, or just 2 T. rex moving around Washington DC. Calculating that T. rex survived for about 127,000 generations before disappearing, the researchers came up with a figure of 2.5 billion individuals over the species’ entire existence. Only 32 adult T. rex have been discovered as fossils, so the fossil record accounts for just 1 in about every 80 million T. rex. This means that the chances of being fossilized were small. These numbers suggest that fossils in general are rare, and that many species that were less widespread than T. rex were probably never preserved, says Marshall, who adds, “The fossil record is our only direct knowledge of these past histories of our planet.” Thomas Holtz, a researcher, says that “we always knew that the chance of any individual becoming a fossil was rare, but we lacked the calculation to figure out how rare”. But he says it would be good “to see someone ground-truth these kinds of estimates against living species to get a better sense of accuracy”. He’d also like to see comparable studies made on disappearing species with more abundant fossils, which might allow us to better understand historic ecosystems. 8. Which of the following was used to figure out the population of T. rex? A. The method used by researchers to study fossils. B. The approach to calculate kinds of wildlife. C. The way applied by ecologists to study modern creatures. D. The system to compare various studies on disappearing species. 9. How does the author develop the third paragraph? A. By making a comparison. B. By listing the figures. C. By giving an explanation. D. By presenting examples. 10. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. T. rex owns quite a few fossils. B. The fossils record all the past of our planet. C. Many species lived together in their whole life. D. Fossils of some species may never be stored. 11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. The Figure of T. rex Helps Calculate How Rare Their Fossils Are B. Scientists Applied Fossils to Understand Past Ecosystems C. A New Method to Figure out the Number of T. rex D. The Fossil Record to Uncover the History of Our Planet 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们通过推算霸王龙的数量证实了其化石非常罕见。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers led by Charles Marshall used a method employed by ecologists studying contemporary creatures to estimate the population of T. rex during the late Cretaceous period.(由Charles Marshall领导的研究人员使用了生态学家研究当代生物时使用的一种方法来估计白垩纪晚期霸王龙的数量。)”可知，研究者们借用生态学家研究现代生物的方法来推算霸王龙的数量。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“20,000”、“3,800”、“127,000”和“2.5 billion”可知，作者通过列举数字的方法来展开本段的内容。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“These numbers suggest that fossils in general are rare, and that many species that were less widespread than T. rex were probably never preserved(这些数字表明，化石一般都很稀少，许多分布不如霸王龙的物种可能从未被保存下来)”可知，有些物种的化石可能永远不会被储存起来。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“The answer is 2.5 billion over the two million or so years in which the species existed, according to a calculation published today in Science. The figure has allowed researchers to estimate just how rare it is for animals to fossilize.(根据今天发表在《科学》杂志上的一项计算，答案是在该物种存在的200万年左右的时间里，其存在时间为25亿。这个数字让研究人员可以估计出动物变成化石的情况有多罕见。)”和最后一段第一句中的“But he says it would be good “to see someone ground-truth these kinds of estimates against living species to get a better sense of accuracy”.(但他说，“看到有人对现存物种进行这种估计，从而获得更好的准确性，这将是一件好事”。)”可知，文章主要介绍了科学家们通过推算霸王龙的数量证实了其化石非常罕见。因此A项“The Figure of T. rex Helps Calculate How Rare Their Fossils Are(霸王龙的数量有助于计算它们的化石有多稀有)”为本文的最佳标题。故选A。 D The climate change in California has caused terrible damage to California’s marine ecosystems. Untold billions of sea stars, or starfish, from at least 20 species disappeared from the entire Pacific coast because of the marine heatwaves. In the absence of sunflower sea stars, a major predator for sea urchins (海胆), the urchin populations exploded. They laid waste to kelp forests (海草林) already weakened by high ocean temperatures. However, Central California’s kelp ecosystems have done somewhat better than those in Northern California. A new study led by Joshua Smith, an ecologist at the University of California, examines the role sea otter (海獭) populations — a natural predator for urchins — play in preserving existing kelp forests in the Monterey Bay. The research project spanned three years, during which intensive under-water surveys produced some very interesting data about sea otter behavior. Sea otters have very high metabolisms (新陈代谢) that keep them warm in icy waters and which also make them greedy consumers of shellfish, urchin, and fish — sea otters can eat 25 percent of their body weight in food in a day. At the observed sites, as the urchin population grew, the otter’s diet shifted to become more heavily dependent on urchins. In fact, the otters were eating three times as many urchins as they had been before 2014. As a result, they provided crucial protection from urchins to the kelp forests. The fact that otters were able to contribute to the health of the surviving kelp forests by keeping urchin populations in check provides Smith with hope for the forests’ continued survival. “The important thing is that the urchins are ultimately reduced,” he says. “The sea otters have maintained patches of kelp forest that can then help refill the barren areas to enhance the recovery of forests.” 12. What influence does climate change have on California’s marine ecosystems? A. A greater diversity of marine species. B. The disappearance of urchins. C. An explosive growth of sea stars. D. The weakening of kelp forests. 13. What is the study led by Joshua Smith about? A. Urchins’ response to ocean warming. B. The reproduction of marine animals. C. Otters’ role in protecting kelp forests. D. The current condition of marine ecosystems. 14. What is a direct result of the shift in otters’ diet? A. The otters are more likely to stay warm. B. The shellfish populations have exploded. C. Urchins’ threat to kelp forests is relieved. D. The kelp forests have made a full recovery. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Sea Otters to the Rescue B. Marine Species in Danger C. Urchins Are Destroying Kelp Forests D. Otters Increase Kelp Forests’ Carbon Storage 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了加州气候变化造成海胆泛滥从而影响到当地的海草林，研究发现海獭对于海胆的猎食对于海草林有一定的保护作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“They laid waste to kelp forests already weakened by high ocean temperatures.(他们糟蹋海草林，海草林已经因海洋高温而变得脆弱)”可知，气候变化引起的高温海水已经影响了海草林。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“examines the role sea otter populations — a natural predator for urchins — play in preserving existing kelp forests in the Monterey Bay.(研究海獭种群—海胆的天然捕食者—在保护蒙特利湾现有海带森林中所起的作用)”可知，本次研究主要是去核实海獭对于保护现存海草林方面的作用。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As a result, they provided crucial protection from urchins to the kelp forests.(因此，它们为海草林提供了至关重要的保护，防止海胆入侵)”可知，海獭饮食发生变化，大批的海胆被海獭猎食，海胆对于海草林的影响得到了缓解。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“A new study led by Joshua Smith, an ecologist at the University of California, examines the role sea otter populations — a natural predator for urchins — play in preserving existing kelp forests in the Monterey Bay.(加州大学的生态学家约书亚·史密斯领导的一项新研究调查了海獭种群——海胆的天然捕食者——在保护蒙特雷湾现有的海草林所起的作用。)”可知，本文主要是介绍海獭捕食海胆，从而让现存的海草林得到保护。故选A。 第二节 七选五（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are several websites designed to help foreign visitors find a job in New Zealand, as well as a number of different travel packages available that assist those who are coming to the country for the first time to work. ___16___, providing help at every step of your job application process and giving you access to a unique database of vacancies (空缺). ___17___.

These changes make it much easier for in-house employees to fill vacancies that occur. First, the most important difference is that employees will now be notified of all available positions before the positions are advertised for the general public. Accordingly, all in-house candidates will be interviewed before we see any outside candidates, and we will offer the job to outside candidates only if no current employees are able to fill the position. Second, under the new procedure, in-house employees can be hired even if they don’t meet all job requirements. Under our old policy, in-house employees had to meet all job qualifications in order to obtain the vacant position. Now, however, employees who have proven themselves dedicated to the company will be hired for a vacant position even if they are lacking in some minor qualifications; training will be provided. A third change involves recommendations. From now on, employees do not need to be recommended for an in-house position before they apply. Instead, employees may apply as soon as they are aware of the vacancy. The remaining procedures and policies (those regarding increase in pay, interview procedure, and hiring approval) remain the same. 4. What can we infer from the second change? A. It becomes difficult for the company to find qualified employees. B. The employees’ loyalty is highly valued by the company. C The company has lowered the requirements for some positions. D. More and more training will be offered by the company. 5. According to the new hiring procedures and policies, which of the following is NO longer needed? A. A job application. B. An interview. C. A recommendation letter. D. A hiring approval. 6. What might be the impact of the changes made within the company? A. More outside applicants will be attracted. B. Higher salaries will be offered to the employees. C. The procedures of vacancy application will be simplified. D. In-house employees will have a better chance to fill the vacancy. 7. Where do we most probably find this text? A. On a poster about the company. B. In a hiring advertisement. C. In an inter-department email. D. In a personal notebook. C Ever wondered how many Tyrannosaurus rex (霸王龙) ever walked around the Earth? The answer is 2.5 billion over the two million or so years in which the species existed, according to a calculation published today in Science. The figure has allowed researchers to estimate just how rare it is for animals to fossilize. Researchers led by Charles Marshall used a method employed by ecologists studying contemporary creatures to estimate the population of T. rex during the late Cretaceous period. The team used their estimates of the total range of T. rex across modern North America, combined with their estimates of the dinosaur’s weight, to calculate that, at one time, around 20,000 T. rex would have been alive on the planet. That translates to around 3,800 T. rex in an area the size of California, or just 2 T. rex moving around Washington DC. Calculating that T. rex survived for about 127,000 generations before disappearing, the researchers came up with a figure of 2.5 billion individuals over the species’ entire existence. Only 32 adult T. rex have been discovered as fossils, so the fossil record accounts for just 1 in about every 80 million T. rex. This means that the chances of being fossilized were small. These numbers suggest that fossils in general are rare, and that many species that were less widespread than T. rex were probably never preserved, says Marshall, who adds, “The fossil record is our only direct knowledge of these past histories of our planet.” Thomas Holtz, a researcher, says that “we always knew that the chance of any individual becoming a fossil was rare, but we lacked the calculation to figure out how rare”. But he says it would be good “to see someone ground-truth these kinds of estimates against living species to get a better sense of accuracy”. He’d also like to see comparable studies made on disappearing species with more abundant fossils, which might allow us to better understand historic ecosystems. 8. Which of the following was used to figure out the population of T. rex? A. The method used by researchers to study fossils. B. The approach to calculate kinds of wildlife. C. The way applied by ecologists to study modern creatures. D. The system to compare various studies on disappearing species. 9. How does the author develop the third paragraph? A. By making a comparison. B. By listing the figures. C By giving an explanation. D. By presenting examples. 10. What can we infer from paragraph 4? A. T. rex owns quite a few fossils. B. The fossils record all the past of our planet. C. Many species lived together in their whole life. D. Fossils of some species may never be stored. 11 Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. The Figure of T. rex Helps Calculate How Rare Their Fossils Are B. Scientists Applied Fossils to Understand Past Ecosystems C. A New Method to Figure out the Number of T. rex D. The Fossil Record to Uncover the History of Our Planet D The climate change in California has caused terrible damage to California’s marine ecosystems. Untold billions of sea stars, or starfish, from at least 20 species disappeared from the entire Pacific coast because of the marine heatwaves. In the absence of sunflower sea stars, a major predator for sea urchins (海胆), the urchin populations exploded. They laid waste to kelp forests (海草林) already weakened by high ocean temperatures. However, Central California’s kelp ecosystems have done somewhat better than those in Northern California. A new study led by Joshua Smith, an ecologist at the University of California, examines the role sea otter (海獭) populations — a natural predator for urchins — play in preserving existing kelp forests in the Monterey Bay. The research project spanned three years, during which intensive under-water surveys produced some very interesting data about sea otter behavior. Sea otters have very high metabolisms (新陈代谢) that keep them warm in icy waters and which also make them greedy consumers of shellfish, urchin, and fish — sea otters can eat 25 percent of their body weight in food in a day. At the observed sites, as the urchin population grew, the otter’s diet shifted to become more heavily dependent on urchins. In fact, the otters were eating three times as many urchins as they had been before 2014. As a result, they provided crucial protection from urchins to the kelp forests. The fact that otters were able to contribute to the health of the surviving kelp forests by keeping urchin populations in check provides Smith with hope for the forests’ continued survival. “The important thing is that the urchins are ultimately reduced,” he says. “The sea otters have maintained patches of kelp forest that can then help refill the barren areas to enhance the recovery of forests.” 12. What influence does climate change have on California’s marine ecosystems? A. A greater diversity of marine species. B. The disappearance of urchins. C. An explosive growth of sea stars. D. The weakening of kelp forests. 13. What is the study led by Joshua Smith about? A Urchins’ response to ocean warming. B. The reproduction of marine animals. C. Otters’ role in protecting kelp forests. D. The current condition of marine ecosystems. 14. What is a direct result of the shift in otters’ diet? A. The otters are more likely to stay warm. B. The shellfish populations have exploded. C. Urchins’ threat to kelp forests is relieved. D. The kelp forests have made a full recovery. 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Sea Otters to the Rescue B. Marine Species in Danger C. Urchins Are Destroying Kelp Forests D. Otters Increase Kelp Forests’ Carbon Storage 第二节 七选五（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There are several websites designed to help foreign visitors find a job in New Zealand, as well as a number of different travel packages available that assist those who are coming to the country for the first time to work. ___16___, providing help at every step of your job application process and giving you access to a unique database of vacancies (空缺). ___17___.
