34、ly for a single jobC.save time and money D.search for a good job解析：解析 本题为细节题。本题问：进行初步筛选面试(initial screening interview)的目的是什么？从文章的第一段第一句“With companies sometimes receiving hundreds of applications for a single job，it is becoming more common for hiring managers to conduct initial screening interviews
35、over the phone. This saves them considerable time and money-especially if a candidate lives out of town”可知，由于求职者人数众多，招聘经理通过电话进行初步筛选面试的做法正在变得越来越常见，因为这可以节省大量的时间和精力。因此本题的正确答案为 C)。 根据第一段文章的内容可以判定，选项 A)“招聘经理”；选项 B)“申请一个工作”；选项 D)“寻找一份好工作”都不是进行电话初步的筛选面试的目的，故可排除。(2).Which of the following is suggested for t
36、aking a screening interview over a phone?（分数：1.00）A.Take it easy when being interviewed.B.Get well prepared for it as you do for a regular one. C.Dress up before the interview to feel more confident.D.Take the interview through your cell phone.解析：解析 本题为细节题。本题问：文章就关于接受电话筛选面试给出了什么建议？根据文章第二段内容“Don“t ta
37、ke these interviews lightly. It is important to prepare for a telephone interview just as you would for a regular interview“, said Alison Doyle, a job search specialist”可知，作者觉得对这类面试不能轻易应付，而要和正式面试一样慎重对待。因此本题的正确答案为 B)。 根据文章第二、第三段内容可知，选项 A)中的“Take it easy”的意思与原文中的“Don“t take these interviews lightly”的意
38、思相反；选项 D)“通过手机进行电话面试”也与文章中的建议“尽可能通过座机进行电话面试”不符。在文章的最后一段，作者提到了电话面试的另一个好处就是不需担心面试时的服装穿着，可见选项 C)也是错误的。(3).What could be the result if the interviewee can“t answer the questions fluently during _ the interview?（分数：1.00）A.He could get a list of accomplishments.B.He could lose the chance to go further. C.
39、He could be asked to go on the stage.D.He could be required to send his resume to the interviewer.解析：解析 本题为推断题。本题问：如果面试者在面试时不能流利回答问题的话，可能会导致什么结果？ 从题干中的线索词 can“t answer the questions fluently可定位到文章第四段第二句“Long pauses or.keep you from making it to the next stage.”从中可知，选项 B)“他可能失去往下一步前进的机会”与句中意思相同，故本题的正
40、确答案选项为 B)。 本题的解题关键在于对句中多义词和动词短语的正确理解，以及对句意的合理推断。句子“Long pauses or.keep you from making it to the next stage”中“halting responses”意为“有停顿的/断断续续的回答”；“keep you from doing sth.”意为“阻止某人做某事”；而“make it to the next stage”中的 stage意为“阶段”，而非“舞台”之意。因此，本句的意思为：“在面试过程中，由于应试者缺乏准备而导致的长时间停顿或断断续续的回答可能会使应试者无法进入面试求职的下一个阶段
41、。”而选项 A)“他可能会得到一份所取得的成绩的单子”；选项 C)“他可能会被要求走上舞台”；选项 D)“他会被要求把简历寄给面试官”都与句意不符，可排除。(4).What does the underlined expression overdo it in the 4 th paragraph most probably mean?（分数：1.00）A.Do it again and again.B.Review it over and over.C.Go over the interview.D.Be too personal. 解析：解析 本题为词义理解题。本题问：文章第四段中的 ov
42、erdo it最可能是什么意思？从题干中的关键词 overdo，可很快定位到文章第四段的最后两句“Do your best to be personable，but don“t overdo it by，say，trying to tell a joke. ”(要尽可能地展现你的个性，但不要了)根据上下文的逻辑关系可判定，这里的“overdo it“意为“把事情做过头了”，即不要过于个性化了。所以本题的正确答案为 D)。 本题的解题关键在于对词缀的了解以及对文章上下文之间逻辑关系的正确把握。动词 overdo是由前缀over+do构成的，其中的前缀 over常常表示“过分的，超过的”，如ove
43、rsleep，overwork，overheat，overeat。再根据上下文的逻辑意思，不难判断出选项 A)“一次又一次地做”；选项 B)“一遍又一遍地复习”；选项 C)“复习面试内容”都与文章内容不符，可排除。(5).The passage is mainly about _.（分数：1.00）A.why screening interviews are popular nowB.when screening interviews are often preferredC.who should take screening telephone interviewsD.how candida
44、tes should prepare and take screening interviews 解析：解析 本题为主旨题。本题问：本文主要是讲述什么的？综观全文可知，作者先是对新的面试形式及其目的进行了介绍，然后重点对如何应对这类面试提出了建议。可见本文的主要大意是面试者该如何为电话面试做准备，故本题的正确答案为 D)。 根据全文内容可判定，选项 A)“如今电话面试为何如此普遍”；选项 B)“电话面试何时最受欢迎”；选项 C)“哪些人应该参加电话面试”都不是文章的主要意思，故可排除。2“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. “ is a po
