单选题17.【D7】
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】 这段对话是招聘者面试求职者的一段对话。首先，应该明确四个答案选项的语法功能和语义。A选项是特殊疑问句，语义是：我应该向谁汇报?B选项是完整句，意思是：听你这么说，我真高兴。C选项是一般疑问句，意思是：你有什么问题吗?D选项是一般疑问句，意思是：你还有其他问题吗? 其次，认真阅读对话，特别是仔细体会空白处的上下文的语义。第7题用在一般疑问句Would you mind telling me a little bit about your present job?(你介意谈谈你目前的工作吗?)之前，应该不会再是问题，所以正确答案应该是B，是对前面求职者说的Your company has an impressive reputation and I always want to work for a smaller company(你们公司的声誉非常好，我一直愿意为小一点的公司工作)的应答。第8～10题都是问题，其中最容易判断的是第9题，根据它后面的回答Directly to me(直接向我)，应该是对A的回答，所以本题正确答案是A。然后再来分析所剩的C和D两个选项的异同，两者在意思上大致相同，唯一的区别在于D选项中多的other，按照对话的习惯分析，两者在对话里的合理顺序应该是C在前，D在后，所以第8题正确答案是C，第10题正确答案是D。 此外，本段对话中除了面试中常有的词汇外，还出现了不少金融方面的词汇值得总结和学习，包括financial company(金融公司)、stock(股票)、bond(债券)、broker(股票交易人)、stock market(股市)、account(账户)等。
