【答案解析】本题考查的是对上下文信息的正确理解。通过分析可知,连词than前后的不定式短语to get rid of(解雇)与to employ(雇用)相互对应,最符合上下文的概念。A、C两项不正确,它们都是“解雇”的意思;B项选择的apply应与介词for搭配使用,意思为“申请”。因此正确答案为D。
【答案解析】本题考查的是固定搭配词组。A、B、D三项中的名词都不能够与前面的动词place搭配,做其宾语。只有C项中的advertisement可以与place搭配,place an advertisement意思为“刊登广告”。因此正确答案为C。
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】本题考查的是连词and的用法,其前面是blue-collar or clerical job in local newspapers(蓝领或职员类工作在本地报纸登广告),与后面的senior management positions in national papers or professional journals(高级经理职位在国家级报纸或专业期刊上登广告)为对应关系。B、C、D三项的意思有误,只有A为正确答案。
