D.Contacttheschoolonlineorbytelephone.【答案】21.A22.C23.B【語篇解讀】這是一篇應用文。廣告介紹了Cheney學校招聘監場人員的有關事宜。【21題詳析】細節理解題。根據第二段中“Fulltrainingwillbeprovidedandstaffwillbecontactedbeforetheexamperiodtodiscusstheinvigilationscheduleinrelationtotheirownavailability.(我們將提供全面的培訓，并在考試前聯系工作人員，討論與他們自己可用性有關的監考時間表。)”可知，Cheney學校為監考人員提供彈性工作時間。故選A項。【22題詳析】細節理解題。根據第三段開頭“Wearelookingforpeoplewho(我們要找的人)”下面第一條“*haveacommandofMicrosoftWord,Excel,PowerPoint(能熟練使用Word、Excel、PowerPoint等軟件)”可知，要求申請人能夠使用辦公軟件。故選C項。【23題詳析】推理判斷題。根據最后一段“Howtoapply:Pleasedownloadanapplicationformfromtheschool’svacancywebsite:http://www.cheney.oxon.sch.uk/lnvigilators.(申請方法：請從學校招聘網站http://www.cheney.oxon.sch.uk/lnvigilators下載申請表格。)”可知，如果對這份工作感興趣，必須填寫申請表。故選B項。BMinuPaulineistheownerofPappadavadaRestaurantinKochi,India.Lateonenight,asshewatchedahomelesswomansearchingthroughthegarbagebinoutsideherhouse,arealizationhitherwithfullforce—shehadbeenabandoningperfectlygoodleftoverfoodwhilesomeoneinneedwaslookingforfood.Touchedbythissadsight,Paulineknewshehadtofindasolutiontothisproblem.Thatwomanhadbeensleepingandwaswokenupbyherhunger,soshehadtogoinsearchoffoodinsteadofsleeping.Inspiredbyherdesiretomakeadifference,shedecidedtotakeaction.Theideawassimplebutmighty:Sheplacedarefrigeratorattheentranceofherrestaurant,storedwithleftoverfoodthatanyonecouldtakeforfree.Thisrefrigeratorbecameabeacon(燈塔)ofhopeforthehungryandthehomeless.Eachday,Paulinefillstherefrigeratorwith75to80packetsofleftovers,carefullylabelingeachonewiththedateitwascooked.Andtherearedayswhenshegoesaboveandbeyond,puttingin100packetstoensurenooneleaveshungry.Theself-servicerefrigeratorisopen24hoursaday,7daysaweek,allowinganyoneinneedtoaccessawarmmealwhenevertheyrequireit.It'saboutrecognizingthevalueofresourcesandcombatingfoodwaste.InaninterviewwithTheHuffingtonPost,shepassionatelyemphasizedthatwhilemoneymaybelongtoindividuals,resourcesareacommunalasset.Shebelievesthatwastingresources,especiallyfood,isnotonlyalossforindividualsbutalsoadisservicetosocietyasawhole.Throughherselflessact.Paulinehassparkedaripple(漣漪)ofkindnessandcompassioninhercommunity.24.WhathappenedtoMinuPaulineinparagraph1?A.Shegottoknowahomelesswoman.
