【答案解析】初级问题
(第一篇原文)这是一道需要把握细节内容的题型。与问题educational background(教育背景)有关的内容出现在Position: Project Manager一项,这里提到需要“大学学位(a university degree)”。这里需要记住的是,大学的“学土学位”叫做university degree或bachelor's degree。
单选题 What are applicants NOT asked to do?
A. Call Mr. Kevin Donlin
B. E-mail a resume
C. Write a cover letter
D. Send references
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】中级问题
(第一篇文章)对报名者的详细要求和报名方式一起出现在文章后半部分。报名者“请发一份自我介绍和简历(E-mail your cover letter and resume)”,故(B)、(C)两项属于要求事项内容。另外还要求发一份“工作履历(a list of work reference)”和“近期介绍信(a list of recent references)”,故(D)项也符合原文。(A)项内容和原文无关。
单选题 What is the purpose of Mr. John Daker's e-mail?

【答案解析】初级问题
约翰先生提到: I'm writing in response to your job announcement for the Security Consultant position. (我想要应聘贵公司安全顾问一职。)(B)To indicate interest in a job vacancy(表明有意求职),因此为正确答案。请牢记!电子邮件的主题或目的大多出现在文章前面,特别是在以I'm writing…开始的句子,答案一般就在这句话附近。

A. A good communication skill
B. Minimum 5 years experience in the relevant field
C. A background in accounting
D. Willingness to relocate every 6 months for two years
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】中级问题
(第一篇文章+第二篇文章)约翰先生在应聘安全顾问的职位。所以首先要仔细阅读原文中对应聘安全顾问人士的条件要求,然后再从(第二篇文章)中找出叙述约翰先生资格条件的内容进行对照。第一篇原文中对应聘者要求“相关领域5年以上工作经验(At least 5 years of related experience)”,(第二篇文章)中提到约翰先生“有9年安全管理领域工作经验(have 9 years of experience in the Security field)”。因此,答案不言自明。
单选题 What is attached to Mr. John Daker's e-mail?

B. A photograph
C. A resume
D. An acceptance letter
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】中级问题
(第二篇文章)约翰先生在邮件中说到Thank you for taking time to review my resume…(感谢您拿出宝贵时间看我的简历……),由此可知邮件中所带的附件是简历。
