　　2014考研英語(yǔ)：新題型模擬試題答案及詳解(一)

　　1、Directions:

　　You are going to read a list of headings and a text about preparing in the academic community. Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each numbered paragraph (41-45). The first and last paragraphs of the text are not numbered. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)

　　[A] You may have to impress the company HR representatives as well. HR reps are typically trained to ask very specific and personal questions, like what salary you expect and what you’ve made in the past. They might ask you about your impressions of the company and the people who interviewed you. They might also ask if you have other offers. If so, chances are good that they are willing to compete for you. But if you say that you have other offers, be prepared to back it up with the who, what and when, because they might challenge you. The HR reps are also the people who will conduct or arrange reference and background checks. They might have the final say.

　　[B] Besides management, you might also interview with one or more of your future coworkers. Regardless of the questions they ask, what they most really want to know is how well you’ll fit into the team, if you’ll cause them more work instead of less, and if they should feel threatened by you. When answering, be eager enough to show that you are a good team player and will pull your load, but not so eager as to appear to be a back-stabbing ladder climber!

　　[C] Always research a company before you interview, and remember that attire, body language and manners count, big time. Try to avoid common mistakes. You may think that this is common sense, but crazy stuff really happens!

　　[D] Job interviewing is one of the most popular career topics on the Web. But no career advisor can tell you exactly what to say during a job interview. Interviews are just too up-close and personal for that. About the best that career advisors can do, is to give you some tips about the typical questions to expect, so you can practice answering them ahead of time. But, while there are many canned interview questions, there are few canned answers. The rest is up to you.

　　[E] Be prepared to attend a second interview at the same company, and maybe even a third or fourth. If you’re called back for more interviews, it means that they’re interested in you. But, it doesn’t mean you’re a shoo-in. Most likely, they are narrowing the competition, so keep up the good work!

　　[F] To put you somewhat at ease, many interviewers really don’t know how to interview effectively. Frontline interviewers are typically managers and supervisors who have never been or are barely trained in interviewing techniques. They’re a little nervous too, just like you. Some don’t even prepare in advance. This makes it easier for you to take control of the interview, if you have prepared. But in controlling an interview, it’s not a good idea to try to dominate. Instead, try to steer it toward landing the job.

　　[G] After interviewing, immediately send a thank you letter to each of your interviewers. It’s professional and expected, and might even be the deciding factor in your favor.

　　[H] Remember, it’s a two-way street. It’s the employer’s chance to judge you, but it’s also very much your chance to judge the employer. In fact, if you handle yourself well and ask the right questions, you’ll put the interviewer in the position of selling the company to you. If this happens, you’re probably doing well.
