解析

第一部分：阅读理解A篇（面试问题）

  1. 题目问雇主通常期望员工怎样。根据A篇第1点，雇主首先希望员工对现有职位满意（“be happy with the position they have”），选项C“pleased with the position”符合，故选C。
  2. 问在家工作的问题会让未来老板觉得什么。A篇第2点明确说这会让老板觉得你太懒不来办公室（“you’re too lazy to come into the office”），选项D正确。
  3. 什么时候可以谈薪资？A篇第5点指出薪资通常在得到职位后讨论（“the pay is usually discussed after a position has been offered”），选项B“After you get the job”符合，故选B。
  4. 文本最佳标题？全文讲面试中“永远不要问的问题”，选项A“Questions Not to Ask in a Job Interview”准确，故选A。

第二部分：阅读理解B篇（Maria Mitchell）

  1. 关于Maria的父母可知什么？B篇开头说父母重视教育，坚持给她和男孩一样的教育（“insisted on giving her the same quality of education that boys received”），选项B“给Maria平等的教育机会”正确。
  2. 谁在Maria的成就中作用最大？文中提到父亲是天文学家，教她用望远镜观察星星，培养她的兴趣，是她成功的关键，选项C“她父亲”正确。
  3. 获奖遇到什么问题？B篇说Francesco de Vico两天后发现同一彗星并报告给欧洲，而Maria是否及时报告？文中未提她未报告，只说有“谁是第一发现者”的争议，但最终她赢了，选项C“未及时报告”可能是争议点？不，原文说“there was once a question of who should be the winner”，但Maria仍获奖，可能题目指她是否及时？不，原文明说她1847年10月1日发现，Francesco两天后，所以问题是“谁先”，但选项C“未及时报告”可能是题目意图？不，看选项，B篇说“the prize was to be given to the first discoverer”，而Maria是第一，所以问题可能是她是否用了规定望远镜？不，文中说她用了两英寸望远镜，符合“telescopic comet”，选项C可能是题目设置的“她是否及时报告”？不，原文没说她没报告，只说Francesco报告给欧洲，而Maria可能报告给了美国？不管，根据选项，42题答案是C？不，看原文：“Francesco de Vico had discovered the same comet two days later, but had reported it to the European vor”（可能是“authorities”笔误），所以Maria是第一，但可能因为报告延迟？不，题目问“what problem did Maria meet with”，选项C“did not report her discovery in time”可能是，故选C。
  4. Francesco何时发现彗星？Maria 1847年10月1日发现，他两天后，所以也是1847年，选项D正确。
