9、nd more employees work remotely, video interviews have become common. For hiring managers, theyre a way to quickly conduct first-round interviews, save on transportation costs, and get the interview process started much faster than scheduling in-person interviews. Review the following tips to make s

10、ure you ace this type of interview. What to ExpectDuring a virtual interview, the video platform will vary depending on the company, but a ResumeGo survey reports that Zoom is the most commonly used interviewing platform (72%), followed by Skype (43%) and Google Hangouts (27%). In most cases, everyt

11、hing will go smoothly, but it will be less stressful if you practice beforehand. Do a trial run a day or two before the interview. Check your webcam and any headset or microphone as if you were going to do the actual interview. Your camera should be at eye level. A poorly placed camera can result in

12、 double chins or odd shadows. Regardless of location, make sure that you send any materials (resume, portfolio, etc. ) that the company needs in advance. What to WearThe ResumeGo survey reports that most employers prefer that job candidates wear business casual(便装), but many dont have a preference.

13、If you are unsure of what level of formality is expected, it is always better to be overdressed than underdressed. During the Video InterviewMake sure the table and your surroundings are clean and neat. You dont want to distract (干扰)the interviewer. If youre interviewing in your home, make sure that

14、 you are in a quiet space with no barking dogs, children, music, or other sounds. As well, turn off your phone and any alerts on your computer to avoid getting thrown off by emails or instant messages during the interview. Make eye contact, and remember, that means looking at the camera(and not the

BBMichelle Phan says she had to quit making her popular “makeup and beauty” YouTube videos because she was burned out.“It became harder and harder for me to pretend to be happy” she says. “And I had become

18、unpleasant with my relationships and friendships. I was on the edge of collapse.”As a so-called social media influencer or creator, she says she needed time off from the constant pressure to upload ever more content, and try to chase (追求) more and more views and likes. But what exactly is a social m

19、edia influencer?There is no hard and fast definition, but in essence it is someone who has enough followers on social media, and typically YouTube, Instagram or TikTok, that they can change it into money. The income comes from two main sourcesa share of the advertising revenue (收入), and deals with c

20、ompanies to promote their bands. While there is potentially big money to be made, Ms. Phan says that creators “need to know when to draw the line, and take care of themselves” rather than post all the time. This concern is echoed by media analyst Rebecca McGrath, of research firm Mintel, who says th

21、at some influencers are trying to chase revenues so much that they post “even if they dont have anything new to create or say”. Ms. Phan also warns that you have to be able to deal with online trolls writing horrible things below your videos. “Youre also exposed to hateful comments, which I think pe

22、ople arent prepared for.”Despite the downsides to being an influencerthe need to always put up more videos or posts, and the likely online abusea great many people would like to be one. It can be a fun and profitable way to earn a living. Yet psychologist Stuart Duff of Pearn Kandola warns that you

23、need a certain personality to hope to be successful at it“Successful influencers will relate to others, tell great stories, have a strong, unique brand, and stick to the message. They will have great passion for what they want to say, and always seem to know what their audience wants to hear.”4. Why

24、 did Michelle Phan stop putting up more videos?A. Her videos were not as popular.B. She became the envy of friends.C. She was in poor physical health.D. She felt like running out of ideas.5.

27、influencer.D. Warnings against pursuing instant wealth.【47题答案】【答案】4. D5. B6. A7. CCEnglish is the international language of science, but most of the worlds scientists speak it as a second language. We shoulder an extra career challenge: Not only must we gain a command of science, but we must also be

28、 able to write in a foreign language to communicate that science. My mother tongue is Hebrew. Im now a researcher at Monash University. There are six people on my research team, five of whom are non-native English speakers. Writing highly technical English is crucial to our science. Our topics embra

29、ce cell biology, materials science and chemistry, so our text must make sense to both non-experts and experts. To me, English is suitable as an international language in a number of ways. On the surface, its easy enough to convey basic meanings when conducting trade, business and tourism, as well as

30、 on social media. In most contexts, it doesnt matter if you misuse “the” or “-ing,” or get the word order wrong. Although the spelling is chaotic, once you get a feel for the typical patterns, its not too hard. But when meanings are complex and technical, precision is a must. Then, English becomes a

31、 difficult beast to wrestle with. The Australian poet Clive James once called English “big and baggy.” I cant disagree. The vocabulary is large. Furthermore, the grammar is extraordinarily flexible, leaving us often confusing. There lies the problem: Such rich language makes it easy to produce long

32、writings of questionable quality. Worse still, we outsiders to English are likely to have been taught to use complicated wording and long sentences to show our authority on a topic. However, English is the opposite: The language is at its most elegant when plain and simple. But simplicity is hard in

33、 English!Another shock to me was the importance English speakers place on front-ending their messages. In many languages, you might expect readers to stay with the text throughout. In English, however, Ive developed healthy fear that my readers will skim-read unless I state the essence at the openin

34、g of a paragraph, then walk backwards while explaining it.My language teacher says that working with me makes him reflect on English in ways he wouldnt otherwise. Full disclosure: he read this piece, and made a few helpful suggestions.8. Why does the author think English is suitable as an internatio

35、nal language?A. It can be easily used to get basic meanings across.B. It has relatively simple grammar and spelling rules.C. It is spoken by the majority of the worlds population.D. Its huge vocabulary helps express complex meanings.9. Whats the function of Paragraph 3?A. To declare the importance o

36、f EnglishB. To illustrate English is easy to learnC. To give opinions about the status of EnglishD. To provide a contrast to technical English10. What does the underlined phrase “front-ending their messages” in Paragraph 7 refer to?A. skimming for the main idea of the textB. expressing ideas at the

37、end of the textC. presenting key messages at the beginningD. having a thorough understanding of the text11. The author mentions the challenges scientists have as non-native speakers except _.A. how to convey complex and technical meanings preciselyB. how to produce professional writings in simple En

38、glishC. how to establish their authority in the field of scienceD. how to make scientific writings accessible to non-experts【811题答案】【答案】8. A9. D10. C11. CDYou are out with a few friends after a long day at the office. You are so relieved to be able to speak freely at last, with as much slang (俚语) as

39、 you like. Then another friend joins your group, contributing humorless and grammatically perfect sentences to the conversation. Are you at ease?If you can imagine yourself in this situation, you can understand how a lot of young people feel when they receive a text with a big period (句号). For the y

40、ounger generation, using proper punctuation (标点) in an informal context like texting can give an impression of formality that borders on rudeness. The message-ending period establishes a certain distance. The punctuation is polite when you are speaking to someone older than you or above you at work,

41、 but unpleasant among friends. To put it simply, including a formality in informal communication makes people uncomfortable. Think of a mother using her sons full name when issuing a serious ultimatum (最后通牒). Or of an upset lover speaking to a partner in a cool, professional tone. People gain and ex

42、press interpersonal comfort through unpolished self-presentation, and acting (or writing) too formally comes off as cold or distant. It is also worth noting that more of our informal communication is digital now than ever before, so texting etiquette (礼仪) carries at least as much weight as speaking

43、tone. It is generally accepted that many texters, especially young people, see end-of-message periods as unnecessary. It is clear that a message has ended regardless of its punctuation, because each message is in its own bubble. Thus, the message break has become the default (默认) full-stop. This pre

44、ssure to get ones thoughts across increases when they are aware that the people that they are texting know they are typingas with speech, both parties in the conversation are responsible for maintaining it To avoid keeping their friends waiting anxiously, therefore, texters send out single, often un

45、punctuated phrases rather than full sentences. Adapting to this new custom may be difficult for older texters. However, this is not the first time that writers have repurposed standard punctuation. The new customs surrounding the period are just one episode in a centuries-long history of grammatical

46、 exploration.12. The two examples in Paragraph 4 are used to show _.A. using punctuation is practically rudeB. formality can create a certain distanceC. period is proper for elders and lovers to useD. informal communication causes discomfort13. Why has the end-of-message period become unnecessary to

47、 young people?A. More informal communication is digital now than before.B. The message in its own bubble carries more significance.C. They use unpunctuated sentences to keep a conversation going.D. They want to escape the pressure of communicating their ideas.14. Whats the authors attitude to the tr

48、end of changing punctuation standards?A. Doubtful.B. Critical.C. Opposed.D. Acceptable.15. What can be the best title for the passage?A. No more periods when texting.B. Periods or not, thats a choice.C. Standard punctuation when texting.D. Texting etiquette among generations.【1215题答案】【答案】12. B13. C1

They are even beginning to deliver goods or food right to peoples doors._18_And yet many people fear

73、we had ordered many gifts online. So, when die doorbell rang, I was sure some of the packages had arrived. I ran to the door and swung it open, but no one was there. I sensed something and looked down, only to find a beautiful little cat sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. Th

74、ere was no way that she could have rung the doorbell by herself, was there? Were my new neighbors playing tricks on me?My husband called her little angel, so we named her Angel. She had a calm aura (氛围) about her as she walked straight into our home and hearts, fitting in perfectly. It seemed as if

75、she was always meant to be in this big house with us. She was an old soul and turned out to be the perfect companion (伙伴). Always by my side, she was more like a puppy than a kitten. Wise beyond years, she enjoyed exploring through the tunnels and mysterious rooms as much as I did, but with much les

76、s fear. Angel was brave. So, I took a page from her book and decided to be brave, too. We had just moved into a big, old country house and there was an underground stone cellar (地下室) I had been eager to explore. The only way in was through a door partly hidden by the grass, then down a shaky ladder

77、(梯子) to its dark floor. I guessed it was probably twelve feet deep. I had promised my husband that I wouldnt explore dangerous areas unless he or someone else was around. But he was away on a business trip for a week, and I didnt want to wait until he came back. I figured that Angel would count as m

Waving the phone, I instructed “Angel! catch it!” With a deep breath and a silent prayer, I cast the phone upward.

82、Miraculously, Angel managed to catch it with her paws as it shot through the door and lay it right by the entrance. Once it connected to the Internet, I yelled at Siri to call emergency services. With them on the line, I screamed out my situation. When heavy footsteps came near, I knew I was saved. I no longer wonder if it was Angel who rang the doorbell that day.听力答案：1-5 BBAAA 6-10 CAABC 11-15 CABCA 16-20 BABAC- 16 - 版权所有高考资源网
