5.  In old days ,when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as distract the serious work of an office ,secretaries were men . 
  Then came the First Word War and the male secretaries were replaced by women .A man’s secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife’s birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to and ,of course ,typing and filing and taking shorthand. 
  Now aii this may be changing again .The microchip(芯片)and high technology is sweeping the British office ,taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书)work that secretaries did .Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve the high-tech work—and then men will want to do it again. 
  That was said by one of the executives.(male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country .What he has predicted is already under way in the U.S. 
  Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (乏味的),will there be a male takeover ?Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs .There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as they not just because they can buy negligees(妇女长睡衣)for the boss’s wife ,but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computer as men .Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they ______.

10.  Humanity is new experiment on plant Earth. For most of its history, life on Earth was restricted to the sea. Living things began to popular the land slightly over 400 million years ago, and humans have existed for no more than 3 million years. 
nbsp; One way to represent the evolution of life is to compress the 4.6-billion-year history of Earth into a 1-year-log film. In such a film, earth forms as the film begins on January 1, and through all of January and February it cools and is cratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remain lifeless until sometimes in March or early April, when the first living things develop. The 4-million-year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November, when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites (三叶虫) . 
  If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear about 3 December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals (哺乳动物) and birds flourish. 
  Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31, vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until shout 11:45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11:45 pm. The Christian era begins only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.In comparing all of Earth's geological evolution to one calendar year, the author shows ______.

A.just how recently humanity has arrived on the scene
B.just how simple it is to understand the history of Earth
C.just how early humanity appears on planet Earth
D.just how difficult it is to understand the history of Earth

11.According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms ______.

A.in the middle of December
B.when Earth is cratered
C.at the beginning of November
D.when the land is still a lifeless waste

12.It is indicated in the passage that ______.

A.Earth is cool at first
B.Earth is hot at the beginning
C.there are oceans at the beginning
D.there is life in the ocean in late February

13.In the one-year-long film dinosaurs ______.

A.die out on December 25
B.appear after December 25
C.die out on December 24
D.appear on December 24

14.In the compressed history of Earth the Declaration of Independence is signed ______.

A.a long time before the New Year
B.immediately after the New Year's Day

15.  Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23% longer to find a new position than it took during the recession (经济萧条) , when the “benefits” of online job searching were unavailable. “A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing (浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites,  filling them with resumes, and then waiting for replies. It is common for long-time joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger. Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many, Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to be traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person. 
  In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online resume site, 72% said that a majority of the resumes they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position’s description. 
  “The more unrelated resumes managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position,” points out Challenger. “One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers get their resumes in front of the hiring executive for an interview.” 
  “All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, for example, to search for job opening in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches have reduces the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking.” 
  “Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool, rather than just replying on it as a means for 4 submitting electronic resumes,” concludes Challenger. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings ______.

A. longer waiting time for the unemployed
B. longer computer technology training for the job searchers
C. more unemployment throughout the U.S.A.
D. more job opportunities in the Internet world

16.Professor Challenger thinks ______.should be considered more important by the unemployed.

A.browsing the Internet job sites
B.sending resumes by email
C.going to a traditional training center
D.meeting the potential employers in person

17.The Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer because ______.

A.the speed of the Internet is not fast enough
B.there is a lot of false information on the Net
C.the hiring position cannot be fully described on the Net
D.it has drawn many unfitting resumes

18.It can be inferred that "screening software" in Paragraph 3 is used to ______.
