三、阅读理解（每题2 分，共20分）
Passage 1
　　Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completes a university degree or diploma course could find a good career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.
　　Job seekers first have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others.
　　The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.
　　Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors.
　　When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.
　　There will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing a good job is to be one of them.  
1  In Para.1, the sentence "... those days are gone, even in Hong Kong ..." suggest that____A________.   
A. in the past, finding a good career was easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere
B. nowadays, everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good career
C. it used to be harder to find a good job in Hong Kong than in other countries
D. Hong Kong is no longer the good place for finding jobs
2  The word "relative" in Para. 2 could best be replaced by "_____B_______".   
A. family
B. comparative
C. considerable
D. slight
3  The advice given in the first sentence of Para.3 is to________B____.   
A. find out what jobs are available and the opportunities for future promotion
B. examine the careers available and how these will be affected in the future
C. look at the information on, and probable future location of, various careers
D. study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available
4  The word "prospective" in Para. 5 is closest in meaning to "_____C_______".   
A. generous
B. reasonable
C. future
D. ambitious
5  In Para.5, the writer seems to suggest that_____C_______.   
A. interviewees should ask a question if they can't think of an answer
B. pretending to understand a question is better than giving an unsuitable answer
C. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understand
D. it is not a good idea for interviewees to be completely honest in their answers  
Passage 2
To understand how Americans think about things,it is necessary to understand "the point". Americans mention it often："Let's get right to the point","My point is ...","What's the point of all this?"
　　The "point" is the idea or piece of information that Americans suppose is,or should be,at the center of people's thinking,writing,and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to "make their points clear",meaning that they are supposed to write clearly the idea or piece of information they wish to express.
　　People from many other cultures have different ideas about "the point". Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoughts they have in mind,rather than stating "the point" clearly. Japanese traditionally speak indirectly,leaving the listener to figure out what the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend,"I don't think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit",a Japanese might say,"Maybe this other coat would look even better than the one you have on." Americans value a person who "gets right to the point". Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude.
　　The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness and ambiguity（模糊）. The precision（精确）and directness Americans associate with "the point" cannot be achieved,at least not with any grace,in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans.  
6  By “the point”,Americans mean_____B_______.   
A. the idea or information in their mind
B. the most important idea or information
C. what they think,write and speak
D. what they wish to express
7  Compared with people from many other cultures,Americans are_____A_______.   
A. direct and honest
B. clear and talkative
C. impolite and rude
D. traditional and silent
8  A typical American seems to be_____D_______to a typical Japanese.   
A. sensitive and rude
B. insensitive but not rude
C. sensitive instead of rude
D. insensitive and even rude
9  Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?    D
A. You are expected to state your idea clearly when speaking to an American.
B. Telling stories to express their ideas is a traditional way of Africans.
C. Japanese often imply their disapproval with polite words.
D. Chinese and Japanese languages are hard to understand because they are not clear.
10  A conclusion can be made that___C______.   
A. Americans and Africans cannot communicate satisfactorily
B. Africans and Japanese cannot communicate satisfactorily
C. Misunderstanding may arise when Americans communicate with Chinese
D. Chinese and Japanese will certainly get on well with each other
