businesses to secure a job.【答案】 (1)A(2)D(3)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,介紹了在非洲一些地區(qū)和學(xué)校實(shí)施的“軟技能”項(xiàng)目,即關(guān)注學(xué)生個(gè)人品質(zhì)教學(xué)項(xiàng)目的實(shí)施情況,這種培訓(xùn)可以幫助學(xué)生在就業(yè)市場(chǎng)和生活中取得成功。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Soft skills are personal qualities that help a person relate effectively to others”可知,軟技能是指人的品質(zhì),能幫助人與人之間有效交流的品質(zhì)。所以軟件操作不是個(gè)人品質(zhì),就不是軟技能。故選A。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Traditionally, secondary schools in Africa have spent more time on subjects like mathematics and science, largely ignoring areas like public speaking and teamwork. But that is changing. Schools are exploring new teaching models to offer soft skills and professional training”可知傳統(tǒng)上,非洲的中學(xué)花時(shí)間在數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)等科目上,很大程度上會(huì)忽略公共演講和團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作等領(lǐng)域。但現(xiàn)在這樣的情況正在改變。學(xué)校正在探索新的教學(xué)模式以提供軟技能和專業(yè)訓(xùn)練。所以非洲中級(jí)學(xué)校的改變是他們努力教給學(xué)生軟技能。故選D。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Soft skills are personal qualities that help a person relate effectively to others. Officials say this kind of training can help students succeed in the job market and in life”可知軟技能是指人的品質(zhì),能幫助人與人之間有效交流的品質(zhì)。權(quán)威人士說(shuō)這樣的訓(xùn)練能幫助學(xué)生在找工作和生活中成功。因此軟技能幫學(xué)生跟人和睦相處。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇教育類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。7.閱讀理解 There are around 600,000 vegans (素食者) in the UK.

He discovered that 70percent of their waking time was spent on one thing onlymunication. Put that evidence alongside the research findings uncovered by the Human Engineering Laboratories, they discovered that, vocabulary, more than any other factor yet known, predicts financial success. New words make us better thinkers as well as municators. What better reason for beginning right now to extend your vocabulary?But how? Hybrid (雜交產(chǎn)生的) corn bines the best qualities of several varieties to ensure maximum productivity. A hybrid approach to vocabulary should, in the same way, ensure maximum results. That39。s why you should use the CPD formula. Through Context. When students in a college class were asked what should be done when they came across an unknown word in their reading, 84percent said, Look it up in the dictionary.
