Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on
the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site’ s“ personal s interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E -mails them
when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywordslegal, intellectual property, and Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. “ I struckgold, ” says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as -inhouse counsel for a company.
With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet,finding promising openings can be
time-consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases.But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks. Narrowing your criteria,for example, may work against you:“ Every time you answer a question you eliminate a possibility.
expert.
For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept you—whatthink you want to do -- then broaden it.“ None of these programs do that,” says another expert.“ There’ s no career c all of this.” Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again.“rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me,
job-searching guide.
Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When CareerSite’agents sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs--those it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to
visit the site again to find them-- and they do. “ On the day after we send our messages, we seea sharp increase in our traffic,” says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for CareerSite.
Even those who aren ’ t hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder.
“ You always keep your eyes open,” he says. Working with a personal search agent means having anoth of eyes looking out for you.
41.How did Redmon find his job?
[A]By searching openings in a job database.
[B]By posting a matching position in a database.
[C]By using a special service of a database.
[D]By E -mailing his resume to a database.
42.Which of the following can be a disadvantage of search agents?

Over the past century, all kinds of unfairness and discrimination have been condemned or made illegal. But one insidious form continues to thrive: alphabetism. This, for those as yet unaware of such a disadvantage, refers to discrimination against those whose surnames begin with a letter in the lower half of
the alphabet.
It has long been known that a taxi firm called AAAA cars has a big advantage over Zodiac cars when customers thumb through their phone directories. Less well known is the advantage that Adam Abbott has
in life over Zo? Zysman. English names are fairly evenly spread between the halves of the alphabet. Yet a suspiciously large number of top people have surnames beginning with letters between A and K.
Thus the American president and vice-president have surnames starting with B and C respectively; and
26 of George Bush ’ s predecessors (including his father) had surnames in the first half of the alphabet agains just 16 in the second half. Even more striking, six of the seven heads of government of the G7 rich countries are alphabetically advantaged (Berlusconi, Blair, Bush, Chirac, Chr andétienKoizumi). The world ’ s three top central bankers (Greenspan, Duisenberg and Hayami) are all close to the top of the alphabet, even if one
of them really uses Japanese characters. As are the world’ s five richest men (Gates, Buffett, Alle and Albrecht).
Can this merely be coincidence? One theory, dreamt up in all the spare time enjoyed by the alphabetically disadvantaged, is that the rot sets in early. At the start of the first year in infant school,
teachers seat pupils alphabetically from the front, to make it easier to remember their names. So
short-sighted Zysman junior gets stuck in the back row, and is rarely asked the improving questions posed
by those insensitive teachers. At the time the alphabetically disadvantaged may think they have had a lucky escape. Yet the result may be worse qualifications, because they get less individual attention, as well as
less confidence in speaking publicly.
The humiliation continues. At university graduation ceremonies, the ABCs proudly get their awards first; by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are literally having a ZZZ. Shortlists for job interviews, election ballot papers, lists of conference speakers and attendees: all tend to be drawn up
alphabetically, and their recipients lose interest as they plough through them.
46.What does the author intend to illustrate with AAA A cars and Zodiac cars?
[A]A kind of overlooked inequality.
[B]A type of conspicuous bias.
[C]A type of personal prejudice.
[D]A kind of brand discrimination.
47.What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?
[A]In both East and West, names are essential to success.
[B]The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zo? Zysman.
[C] Customers often pay a lot of attention to companies’ names.
[D]Some form of discrimination is too subtle to recognize.
48.The 4th paragraph suggests that ________.
[A]questions are often put to the more intelligent students
[B]alphabetically disadvantaged students often escape from class
[C]teachers should pay attention to all of their students
[D]students should be seated according to their eyesight
49.What does the author mean by“ most people are literally having a ZZZ -3, Paragraph”(Lines5)? 2
[A]They are getting impatient.
[B]They are noisily dozing off.
[C]They are feeling humiliated.
[D]They are busy with word puzzles.
50.Which of the following is true according to the text?
[A]People with surnames beginning with N to Z are often ill-treated.
[B]VIPs in the Western world gain a great deal from alphabetism.
[C]The campaign to eliminate alphabetism still has a long way to go.
[D]Putting things alphabetically may lead to unintentional bias.

Even before Alan Greenspan’ s admission that America-hot economy’sred is cooling, lots of working
folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves. From car dealerships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent
of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is coming at a crucial time. Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year ’ s pace. But don ’ t yet. Consumers seem only mildly concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic about the economy’ s long-term prospects, even as they do some modest belt-tightening.

[B]Spero is too much engaged in her work

Americans today don ’ t place a very high value on intellect. Our heroes are athletes, entertainers, and entrepreneurs, not scholars. Even our schools are where we send our children to get a practical education--
not to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Symptoms of pervasive anti-intellectualism in our
schools aren’ t difficult to find.
“ Schoolshave always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual,says”education writer Diane Ravitch.“ Schools could be a counterbalance.” RavitchLeft Back:’s latestA bo Century of Failed School Reforms, traces the roots of anti-intellectualism in our schools, concluding they
are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits.
But they could and should be. Encouraging kids to reject the life of the mind leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and control. Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas
of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy. Continuing along this path, says writer Earl Shorris,“ We will become a second-rate country. We will have a less civil society.”
“ Intellect is resented as a form of power or privilege,” writes historian and professor Ric in Anti-Intellectualism in American Life, a Pulitzer-Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in
US politics, religion, and education. From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism. Practicality, common sense, and
native intelligence have been considered more noble qualities than anything you could learn from a book.
Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendentalist philosophers thought schooling and rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on children:“ We are shut up in schools and college recitation ro
or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing. ”Mark Twain ’ s Huckleberry Finn exemplified American anti-intellectualism. Its hero avoids being civilized -- going to school and learning to read-- so he can preserve his innate goodness.
Intellect, according to Hofstadter, is different from native intelligence, a quality we reluctantly admire. Intellect is the critical, creative, and contemplative side of the mind. Intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate,
re-order, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes and imagines.
School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted. Hofstadter says our country’ s is in the grips of people who“ joyfully and militantly proclaim their hostility to intellect and their eagerne to identify with children who show the least intellectual promise.”
56.What do American parents expect their children to acquire in school?
[A]The habit of thinking independently.
[B]Profound knowledge of the world.
[C]Practical abilities for future career.
[D]The confidence in intellectual pursuits.
57.We can learn from the text that Americans have a history of ________.
[A]undervaluing intellect
[B]favoring intellectualism
[C]supporting school reform
[D]suppressing native intelligence
58.The views of Ravitch and Emerson on schooling are ________.
[A]identical
[B]similar
[C]complementary
[D]opposite
59.Emerson, according to the text, is probably ________.
[A]a pioneer of education reform
[B]an opponent of intellectualism
[C]a scholar in favor of intellect
[D]an advocate of regular schooling
60.What does the author think of intellect?
[A]It is second to intelligence.
[B]It evolves from common sense.
[C]It is to be pursued.
[D]It underlies power.

The relation of language and mind has interested philosophers for many centuries. 61) The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought, which took root
in Europe long before people realized how diverse languages could be.
Only recently did linguists begin the serious study of languages that were very different from their own. Two anthropologist-linguists, Franz Boas and Edward Sapir, were pioneers in describing many native languages of North and South America during the first half of the twentieth century. 62) We are obliged to them becausesome of these languages have since vanished, as the peoples who spoke them died out or became assimilated and lost their native languages. Other linguists in the earlier part of this century, however,
who were less eager to deal with bizarre data from“ exotic” language, were not always so grat newly described languages were often so strikingly different from the well studied languages of Europe and Southeast Asia that some scholars even accused Boas and Sapir of fabricating their data. Native American
languages are indeed different, so much so in fact that Navajo could be used by the US military as a
code during World War II to send secret messages.
Sapir ’pupil,s Benjamin Lee Whorf, continued the study of American Indian languages. 64) Being interested in the relationship of language and thought, Whorf developed the idea that the structure of language determines the structure of habitual thought in a society. He reasoned that because it is easier to formulate certain concepts and not others in a given language, the speakers of that language think along one track and not along another. 65) Whorf came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism which, in its strongest form, states that language imprisons the mind, and that the grammatical patterns in a language can produce far-reaching consequences for the culture of a society. Later, this idea became to be known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, but this term is somewhat inappropriate. Although both Sapir and Whorf emphasized the diversity of languages, Sapir himself never explicitly supported the notion of linguistic determinism.
