Do not use any letter more than once.BTips for Succeeding at Interviews/BThe aim of a job interview is to establish
10、whether you are likely to do well in a particular job in a specific organisation. This is not only a matter of having the necessary technical knowledge and skills. You must also have the motivation, the ability to adapt to new ways of working and to a new work environment, and the personality to do
11、the job and fit into a new team. But there are other personal skills that affect your success in a job. These include getting on with people, oral and written communication. teamworking, problem solving and good time management.Most people think that interviewers know what they are looking for and w
12、ill recognize it when they see it. U(8) /UThis applies to recruiters as much as anyone else. In fact, a former head of selection at one big firm used to say that “some interviewers are so poor they would do better to rely on chance.“In companies which recognise this, various methods are used to try
13、to find the right person. U(9) /UResearch has shown that this approach is more reliable than the ordinary job interview. though not as effective as using personality tests or assessment centres.In a structured interview the interviewer groups the qualities listed in the job specification under vario
14、us headings. There arc two well-established structures for this: the National Institute of industrial Psychologys Seven-Point Plan and the Five-Fold Grading System. Both these systems cover factors such as physical appearance, qualifications, general intelligence, motivation and previous experience.
15、 U(10) /UHowever, they should not give equal weight to each one. Some factors are more important in one job than another. For example, physical appearance and manner will be more important in a sales position than for a researcher who works behind the scenes. It is also a fact that the impact the ca
16、ndidate makes in the first three or four minutes of an interview is of major importance. U(11) /UA decision not to hire is often made during those first few minutes.It is not always possible to tell whether structured interview techniques are being used. If interviewers ask questions systematically,
17、 using some kind of checklist, and occasionally make a brief note, they probably are. On the other hand, if the interviewer goes through your application to confirm what you have already said, or asks irrelevant questions, or jumps from one topic to another, the interview is unlikely to be structure
18、d. Before you attend any interview, look again at the job description and the personal specification. U(12) /UIf you already have a mental list of the key points that you need to mention, you are unlikely to waste time giving irrelevant information or to omit important points in your favor.A. Study
19、them closely and assess what your interviewer will be looking for.B. However, people are actually not very good at assessing one another.C. A number of skills are common to most of these interviewing situations.D. Although a favorable impression may be reversed later in the interview, a negative imp
20、ression is rarely changed.E. The most common is the structured interview.F. For each of these areas the interviewers score candidates against how well they fit the job specification.G.

21、项 1:_填空项 1:_三、BPART THREE/B(总题数：1，分数：6.00) Read the text below about a European rail service and the questions below the passage. For each question (13-18), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer sheet for the answer you choose.BSuccess of New Rail Links in Europe/BThe Eurostar company is now
22、 running frequent train services using the tunnel built beneath the sea between Britain and France. Millions of passengers have already travelled on Eurostar trains and there are now twenty services a day between London and Paris and nine between London and Brussels.Eurostar has already won 40% of a
23、ll passengers from the UK to Paris and Brussels but further growth will depend on the business market. The early morning departure to Paris is proving popular, especially for business people from London who need to do a full days work in the French capital.However. exactly how many of Eurostars pass
24、engers are business travellers is unknown. While first-class accommodation has been 70% fill, many of these passengers are travelling on holiday: one travel agent estimates Eurostar has only 20% of the business travel market. Meanwhile, tour operators report a sharp rise in the sale of short trips t
25、o Paris. which, they claim, is largely due to the possibility of travelling by Eurostar.As Eurostar increases the frequency of daily journeys over the next year. it will need more business travellers than ever to fill its trains. However, business travel agents feel that some aspects of Eurostar ser
26、vice could be improved. According to one large business travel agent. “Eurostars marketing has been poor and it needs to look more closely at doing commercial deals with large travel agents and corporations to become more attractive than airlines“. British travel agents alone are now spending over 1
27、 million a month with Eurostar. Naturally, they are expecting Eurostar to provide some good deals and flexible tickets.Eurostar is hoping to attract more customers as it expands its network of services. Already, train journeys between London and Paris stop at a few towns and cities enroute. There wi
28、ll also be daytime and overnight services front eighteen other British cities to Paris and Brussels, and planning is in progress for services from London to cities in Holland and Germany. Soon, many major towns and cities in Britain and other European countries will have regular direct connections w
29、ithin Eurostars network.The demand for Eurostar is forcing airlines to use smaller planes on the London-Paris and London-Brussels service, two of the busiest air routes in the world. One British airline reports a 15% decline in ticket sales to both Paris and Brussels. The crucial marketing aspect in
30、 business travel is frequency, Rather than cut frequency, airlines have reduced the size of their aircraft to prevent further losses. However, the large airlines will find it easier to maintain their flight schedules by introducing lower capacity planes. Eurostar threatens mainly the smaller airline
31、s, which already have fewer services and smaller planes.（分数：6.00）(1).Which of the following statements is not true about Eurostar company?（分数：1.00）A.Passengers can travel on its trains through the tunnel.B.It offers frequent train services front London to Paris.C.There are many passengers traveling
