Many peple that are reading yur review may nt knw anything abut the bk yu’re reviewing. Instead f making them g find infrmatin n their wn by searching fr the bk title, start ut with a little descriptin f the bk. Make sure yu avid t lng f a summary, thugh, because if t much f yur article is a summary f the bk, it wn’t be interesting. Start with a shrt paragraph r s that hits all the majr pints but desn't give t much away. Yu dn’t want t tell yur reader everything abut the bk, because then they wn’t have t read it at all. Just give enugh infrmatin s yur reader is interested in reading the bk.
Sme magazines like t publish bk reviews that are cmpletely bjective（客观的）. This means that they want a review f the bk that desn't share yur pinin and that in which yur pinin isn't bvius frm reading what yu wrte. If yu hated a bk, it might nt be a great bk t review. Yu prbably want t review bks that yu enjyed. This will give yur review a psitive spin. Avid gushing abut hw much yu lved the bk, hwever. Yu shuld nt include yur persnal reactin t the bk until the very end, where yu include a sentence r tw abut whether r nt yu wuld recmmend a bk and t whm yu wuld recmmend it.
A great way t get yur review nticed is t lk at a bk thrugh a specific lens. Read the bk as a feminist（女权主义者） wuld, fr example, and talk abut what a feminist might say t applaud r criticize the bk. Yu can chse any number f lenses, and feminism is just ne ptin. An ecnmic lens, a family lens, the lens f a different natinality, r the lens f a child culd all be interesting ways t lk at a bk. If yu lk at a bk in this way, instead f just reading it and frming yur wn pinin, it will be much mre interesting and marketable. This is especially the case if yu lk at a lens that relates t the subject f the magazine t which yu are submitting. Feminist magazines lve bk reviews abut bks read thrugh a feminist lens, fr example, because it pertains t their readership.
Anther great way t write a bk review is t talk abut the writer’s style. Anyne can pick up a bk and read fr the plt, but it takes an experienced writer t nte interesting things abut anther writer’s style and write abut them intelligently.
1. What’s the first paragraph mainly abut?
A. Standards f gd bk reviews. B. Benefits f writing bk reviews.
C. Ways t get yur writing published. D. Tpics usually discussed in magazines.
2. Which f the fllwing is a characteristic f a gd bk review?

Yu are busy filling ut the applicatin frm fr a psitin yu really need；let's assume yu nce actually cmpleted a cuple f years f cllege wrk r even that yu cmpleted yur degree. Isn't it tempting t lie just a little, t claim n the frm that yur diplma (文凭) represents a Harvard degree? Or that yu finished an extra cuple f years back at State University?
Mre and mre peple are turning t an utter deceptin (欺骗)like this t land their first jb r t mve ahead in their careers. Fr persnnel fficers, like mst Americans, value degress frm famus schls. A jb applicant may have a gd educatin anyway, but he r she assumes that chances f being hired are better with a diplma frm a well­knwn university. Registrars(学籍管理员)at mst well­knwn clleges say that they deal with dishnest claims like these at the rate f abut ne per week.
Persnnel fficers d check up n degrees listed n applicatin frms. It turns ut that when an applicant is lying, mst clleges are unwilling t accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League schl refers t them as “special cases”. One well­knwn West Cast schl, in perhaps the mst delicate phrase f all, says these claims are made by “n such peple”．
T avid cmplete lies，sme jb seekers claim that they “attended” r “were assciated with”a cllege r university. After careful checking, a persnnel fficer may discver that “attending” means being dismissed after ne semester. It may be that “being assciated with” a cllege means that the jb seeker visited his yunger brther fr a ftball weekend. One schl that keeps recrds f false claims says that the practice dates back at least t the turn f the century—that's when they began keeping recrds, anyhw.
If yu dn't want t lie r even stretch the truth, there are cmpanies that will sell yu a fake diplma. One cmpany, with ffices in New Yrk and n the West Cast, will put yur name n a diplma frm any number f nnexistent clleges. The price begins at arund twenty dllars fr a diplma frm “Smt State University”. The prices increase rapidly fr a degree frm the “University f Purdue”. As there is n Smt State and the real schl in Indiana is prperly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high fr ne sheet f paper.
因为人事部门的官员们更看重名校学历，因此人们常常为谋求一份好工作和职位而造假。
13．The writer mainly wants t tell us that ________.
A. cllege degrees can nw be purchased easily
B. nwadays it is very hard fr peple t find jbs
C. lying abut cllege degrees is becming a widespread prblem
D. emplyers are n lnger interested in applicants' actual perfrmances
答案：C。主旨大意题。总览文章可知C项为本文主旨。
14．As used in the first line f the secnd paragraph，the wrd “utter” means ________.
A. thrugh B. careful
C. imcmplete D. spken
答案：A。词义猜测题。由第二段第一句中的关键词deceptin(欺骗)及其后的解释“学历造假”，再结合文章主旨可推出A项正确。thrugh彻底的。
15．Once finding applicants with false diplmas, mst clleges wuld ________.
A. keep the recrds f themB. drive them ut f cllege
C. avid direct cnflicts with themD. accuse them f such behavirs
答案：C。推理判断题。由第三段中的“ clleges are unwilling t accuse the applicant directly”．和下面给出的例子可推断出C项正确。
16．We can learn frm the passage that ________.
A. US emplyers value their jb applicants with a degree frm tp universities
B. University f Purdue and Purdue University are the same schl
C. peple with fake diplmas can get their first jbs in US easily
D. peple pay the same price fr a fake diplma frm different universities
答案：A。事实细节题。由第二段第二句“Fr persnnel fficers, like mst Americans, value degrees frm famus schls.”可知A项正确。由尾段可知B、D错误；C项在文中没有信息支持。
