up“加緊，加強”，故選C。答案：C15.For over 100 years，men have been gold in the hills，but they have nothing so far.A.searching；searched forB.searching for；searched ofC.searching for；searched outD.searching for；search out解析：句意：一百多年來，人們就在山里找金子，但到目前為止，他們什么也沒找到。search for后接的賓語是要找的人或物，search for gold“找黃金”；第二個空search out“找出，查到，搜尋到”。答案：C.閱讀理解So you have been called for an interviewwell done.Your effort has paid off.Now go to get the job.You will feel better at the interview if you show an understanding of the nature of the organization.Ask someone who already does it or check it out with one of the advisers.Ask a member of family or a friend to act as the employer and to give you a practice interview.Afterwards discuss how it went.Think about how the employer would prefer to see your look.Remember most of the employers are over 30.It is not wise to buy new clothes that will be worn for the first time at the interview.It's best to wear a familiar dress.Carelessness in any of these could cost you the job.Arrive at least 15 minutes ahead of time.This will give you a chance to have a look around，read the notice board and get the feel of the place.Being late at interviews produces a bad impression.The first impression the interviewer gets of you is formed as you walk through the door，so take a couple of deep breaths.Be ready to shake hands if the interviewer offers.Don't take a seat until asked.Then sit comfortably.Remember the interviewer's name and use it from time to time.Be ready for the question “Is there anything you want to ask？” Before the interview you should get ready for two or three such questions.Look on these not just as a chance to get information but as a means to leave a better impression.Asking can show knowledge and avoid asking about holidays，pension(養(yǎng)老金)and so on.You can check on these later when the hoped­for job is offered.And if you fail，look upon the interview as an experience in itself.Learn from it.We wish you good luck and good job hunting.語篇解讀：作者就如何過好面試關(guān)給了讀者一些切實可行的建議。1.To make a good impression on the interviewer，it is important for you.A.to walk through the door quicklyB.to be a little late for the

help people communicate with each other.As a result，ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world.For example，within seconds，people can know the results of an election in another country.An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set.News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries within hours.Help is on the way.Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world，information travels fast. How has this speed of communication changed the world？ To many people，the world has become smaller.Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller.It means that the world seems smaller.Two hundred years ago，communication between the continents took a long time.All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean.In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries，it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America.This time difference influenced people's actions.For example，one battle，or fight，in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided.A peace agreement had already been signed.Peace was made in England，but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America.During these six weeks，the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought.Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed.In the past，communication took much more time than it does now.There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.Title： The World Is Getting(1)ThemeIt becomes easy for people to (2)with each other because of television，telephone，radio，telegraph and the Internet.Ideas and news of events spread quickly (3)the world.Examples(nowadays)People can know the results of an election being (4)in another country within seconds.An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a (5)set.News of a disaster (6)an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries within hours.Information goes fast (7)to modern technology.Examples(in the past)Two (8)ago，communication between the continents took a long time.The news of peace treaty made in (9)took six weeks to reach America.ConclusionNow communication takes (10)time than it did in the past.
