阅读简评：
这次阅读理解难度不大。从选材方面讲，以人文为主，辅以一篇自然学科的。从命题思路来看，没有什么明显变化，比如细节题上的偷梁换柱，常识错位，推理题上的夸大后果，主旨题的以偏概全。这些在我的冲刺讲义里都有详细的例子对应。大家可以到我个人网站www.tangqiming.com下载flash版的讲义做参考。
我举一个犯错较多的例子简单解析一下。
第一篇：讲跨国求职简历写作要求的。
25. According to the author's last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware of________.
A) the different educational systems in the US and the UK
B) the differences between the varieties of English
C) the recipient's preference with regard to the format
D) the distinctive features of American and British cultures
原文相关句有一点点迷惑性，但稍微有点英语语言常识的人不会犯低级错误的。
[If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the recipient （收件人) uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions. ）For example, university education is often referred to as 'tertiary education' in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. [A reader who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume contains errors.]
根据我推荐的阅读方法，文章最后一段的主题句和结尾句是必读的，这里面已经有答案了，如果审查简历的人不了解英式英语和美式英语的差别，可能会把简历里的一些用法当成错误。在第二句使用了例子来说明两种英语的差别。因此答案并非是有的同学和老师理解的A选项“英美教育制度差异问题”。
