此处指不远处有“一只”鲨鱼，表泛指。2．death bescaredtodeath吓得要死。3．wasscared bescaredof害怕，是固定搭配。4．beingharmed avoiddoingsth避免做某事，是固定搭配。5．it 指代上文的theweather。6．across comeacross碰见，遇见。7．with befamiliarwith…对……熟悉。8．qualifications 作介词with的宾语，应用其名词形式。9．from hearfrom…收到……的来信。10．that 在定语从句中，先行词既有人又有物时要用关系代词that。Ⅱ.A农学家NormanBorlaug是绿色革命的主要倡导者。他的研究对人类的粮食生产起到了巨大的作用。11．A 从NormanBorlaugwasbornin1914及他获得诺贝尔奖的时间是1970年，可推知他获诺贝尔奖时的年龄为56岁。12．D 阅读全文可知，本文作者介绍了NormanBorlaug的生平以及他所从事的研究，故选择D。13．B 由倒数第二段HislatestconcernisadiseaseinwheatcalledUG99…ithasthepowertodestroymostofthewheat…可知，B正确。14．A 文中第三段提到了India，Pakistan和Africa，故排除B、C、D三项。15．BB对于一个求职者来说，适度的坚定握手对求职面试成功的重要性。16．A 推理判断题。通过文中第一段以及后文可知，全文都在讲坚定的握手对于面试者在求职面试中的重要性，所以全文应该是为求职者所写的，所以选A。17．C 细节理解题。通过原文第一段第二句话和最后一句话可知，穿着整齐和保持微笑在所有重要面试中都起作用，但调查显示坚定的握手才能真正地给潜在的雇主留下深刻印象，所以选C。18．A 细节理解题。根据文中倒数第二段可知，坚定握手的硬度也应该适度，而过度热情会握得骨头痛，会给人一种虚荣、缺乏信任度的感觉。19．B 细节理解题。根据文中第三段可知，GregStewart教授认为那些被握手评价者打高分的人也被认为是在面试中最有可能被雇用的人，B项与原文不符。20．B 推理判断题。阅读全文可知，全文都在讲坚定握手在求职面试中的重要性，所以选择B项。Ⅲ.Onepossibleversion：PutfirstthingsfirstPuttingfirstthingsfirstisamatterofpriorities,whichwasmisapprehendedbyanensignwhopreparedthesailingwithremarkableefficiencybutleftbehindthemostimportantthingofhavingacaptain.Whetherpeopleputfirstthingsfirstexertsgreatinfluenceontheprocessofpushingthingsforwardandevendecidesthefuturedevelopment.Thingsinvariablygooftheirownaccord.Iftheorderismisplaced,thewholeprocessisblockedandceasestobeanabstractconcept.Therefore,wecanhardlyimaginehowweachievefuturedevelopmentwiththingsupsidedown,withthecartbeforethehorse.6\nMyexperiencevividlyillustratesthesignificanceofputtingfirstthingsfirst.Intheexaminationforhighschool,IshouldhavegottensofmoremarksifIhadgivenprioritytothequestionsIwasfamiliarwith.IcannotexplainwhyIwassostubbornatthattimeandwasquiteillogicalwhendealingwithanimportantexamination,whichdirectlyresultedinmanyquestionsunfinished,andofcourseresultedinmyfailuretoenterakeyhighschool.IalwayskeepthislessoninmindandpromisemyselftoputfirstthingsfirstthistimeforthecomingNMETexamination.6
