A、theyareatadisadvantage.

B>theyarebuyingandsellingalthesametime.

C>aninterviewislikeapresentation.

D^theinterviewerwillberealistic.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此题是对文章细节的理解。短文第一段指出面试实际上是一次谈判，

双方都在向对方推销。这表明在面试时，双方既是在买，也是在卖。题干意思说在

工作面试中，申请人一般会忽视的事实是什么。根据文义理解.，也就是忽视自己在

推销自己“卖”自己的同时，也是在“买”公司。故选B。

14、lbprepareyourselftortheinterview,thewriter

A、tellsyoutovisitthecompetitors.

B、advisesyoutodoresearchonthecompany.

C、saysthatyououghttopreparequestionsbeforehand.

D、advisesyoutoknowlittleaboutthesector.

做什么。根据文章第二段的意思，应该是多做准备，研究面试公司的信息。故选

Bo

A、areover-confident.

B、canmakeupyourmindinfourminutes.

C、aredressedinsuitableclothes.

量穿着使自己感觉自信的衣服。故选C。

A、lookinggooddoesnotgiveyouanadvantage.

B、nervousnesscanputpeopleoff.

C>interviewersmistakeaggressivenessforassertiveness.

D、smilingandeyecontactareimportant.

标准答案：D

知识点解析：此题是对文章细节的推理。选项A意思是好看并不会为面试加分，

在文中没有此意。选项B意思是紧张会让人延迟，在文中没有此意。选项C意思

是面试官会错误地认为说话具有进攻性就是自信的表现，这恰好是文章所否定的。

故选D。

17、Duringtheinterview

A、youmayneedtothinkcarefullyabouthowtoanswerquestions.

B、sometrickyquestionsconcernthepersonallifeoftliecandidate.

C、theintervieweemustputhimorherselfinthebestlight.

D^youshouldnottalkaboutyourrights.

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此题是对文章细节的考查。选项A和D在文中都没有提及，可排

除，选项C的意思正好和文意相反，也可排除。选项B强调一些技巧性问题可以

折射出你的生活，正是短文第五段中提到的信息，原句为：beonthelookoutfor

trickyquestionsaboutyourpersonallifeo故选B。

18、Whichofthefollowingisnotexpressedinthetext?

A、Shortanswerslimityourchancesofcreatingapositiveimpression.

D、interviewerscan"readbetweenthelines"(thatis,theycanunderstandmoreaboutus

thanwesay).

标准答案：B

知识点解析：此题是考查对文章细节的把握，题干要求选择文中没有提到的-•项。

选项B意思是全世界都要求在面试时穿正装，这显然是文中没有透露的信息。故

选Bo
