45、析】 该段首先提出建议：要提前练习面试内容，包括对你的职业、离职原因以及你的成就等一系列问题的回答。然后分析这样做的好处：通过练习，你就能找到合适的词汇，不会慌乱，会以适当的语速谈论，并知道何时该停下来。C 项(重点关注你的谈话方式而非做出临场回答)是对该内容的高度概括，作者提议我们在面试之前要不断练习谈话方式而不是临场发挥。【知识模块】 阅读理解3 【正确答案】 G【试题解析】 该部分前三句指出，求职者讲话的时间不宜过长，而是应该与面试官基本持平。倒数第二句又指出，求职者应设法建立友好氛围，找到自己与面试官的共同点。末句总结指出，面试不是独角戏，双方都是参与者。G 项前半句 Its not

46、a solo performance 对应末句 its not a monologue；后半句 aim for a warm dialogue 是对倒数第二句 Build rapport，find some common ground 的转换。故 G项正确。【知识模块】 阅读理解4 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 该部分首先引用了福特的名言：如果你认为你能做某件事情或不能，那么你是对的。第三、四句指出，要想在面试中脱颖而出，你需要表明自己能做一位好员工，表明自己擅长交流互动，能够随机应变，擅长推销自己和自己的观点。末句又总结指出，如果你相信自己是某个职位的合适人选，那就不必紧张。本段字里行间透露

47、出自信乐观在求职面试中的重要性，B 项是对这一内容的高度概括。A项有干扰，但该选项偏离了段落主旨。本段主要介绍如何以乐观、积极、自信的态度迎接面试，而非如何全面展现自身优势。 【知识模块】 阅读理解5 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 该部分前三句介绍面试结束后要发一份信件过去，感谢他们给你面试机会，再次表达你对他们及该职位的兴趣。这就是 F 项所说的面试后的追踪(follow up)。末句又指出，信件中要回顾你在面试中阐述的重点内容。这就是 F 项中的回顾(review)。由此可见 F 项是对该部分内容的概括。【知识模块】 阅读理解【知识模块】 阅读理解6 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 通读全段
