But the advantages of testing are not going to change theattraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything todo with the human factor. Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust theirinstinctive feelings. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but weusually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and an impressivework record. But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest.“This can be aserious problem for employers”, explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at OptimusRecruitment.“The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather thancomplete lies.”Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate onpurpose. The most common practice is omission(省略). Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainty such as gapsbetween periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strange.“Focusing onthese areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. Thisis usually when people sisal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upperlip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.” Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique, but insiststhat close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the rightquestions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those whoare being less than completely honest.2.1.1 5.0The best title of this passage can be. aDisadvantages of JobInterviews bAdvantages of Job Interviews cHow to Catch Out the Dishonest Candidate dHow to Find a Job by Tricks2.1.2 5.0The liars hard to recognize are those who tell. apartial truths bmainly truths ccomplete truths dcomplete lies2.1.3 5.0How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected? aBy using their body language. bBy telling some unbelievable lies. cBy leaving out some necessary information. dBy providing more information than needed.2.1.4 5.0In order to pick up a qualified and an honest candidate, Conrad suggests that we. acorrect the resumes intentionally bcompare one’s resume with others’ cexamine the resumes carefully dinspect the candidates aggressively2.1.5 5.0What is the author’s attitude towards job interviews? aSuspicious. bCredulous. cMost objective. dToo subjective.2.2 25.0阅读下面短文,请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项,并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。 Feel tired lately? Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you. Then, consider this: you might be in a state of subhealth. Subhealth, also called the third state or the gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease. According to the investigation by the National health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealth people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-weeks. Symptomsinclude a lack of energy, depression , slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs. The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits,alternatework and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities. As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements—vitamins and trace elements that are important to the body. Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化系统). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.2.2.1 5.0According to this passage, which of the following is right? aWhen you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay at home and keep silent. bWhen you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine. cWhen you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries. dWhen you are in a state of subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself.2.2.2 5.0It may be easy for middle-aged people to be in a state of subhealth because__________. athey have used up their energy bthey have lost their living hopes cthey have more pressure in life and work dthey begin to get older2.2.3 5.0The key to preventing you from falling into a state of subhealth is that you should__________. awork hard bsleep more cform good living habits dtake more medicine2.2.4 5.0As for food, experts suggest that__________. awe should never eat meat bwe should have varieties of food cwe should eat less than usual dwe should have meals without salt and sugar2.2.5 5.0The underlined word“alternate”in this passage is the closest in meaning to__________. aarrange by turns bcause to take place ckeep up dtake up

Questions 53 to 57 are based on the following passage: ( 10 分 )　　How did a peddler of cheap shirts and fishing rods become the mightiest corporation in America The short version of Wal-Mart’s rise to glory goes something like this:in 1979 it racked-up a billion dollars in sales; by 1993 it did that much business in a week; by 2001 it could do it in a day.　　It’s a shocking tale--one that propelled Wal-Mart from rural Arkansas, where it was founded in 1962, to the top of the Fortune 500. Sam Walton, Wal-Mart’s founder, pushed sales growth continuously while squeezing costs with sophisticated information technology. He exhorted employees to sell better with the "ten-foot rule" ( greet customers if they are that close ). He was, in other words, an early evangelist for the first commandment of today’s economy: service rules. Wal-Mart, in fact, is the first service company to rise to the top of the Fortune 500. When Fortune first published its list of the largest companies in America in 1995, Wal-Mart didn’t even exist. That year General Motors was America’s biggest company, and in every year that followed,either GM or another mighty industrial, Exxon, was No.1.　　Wal-Mart’s achievement caps a bigger economic shift I from producing goods to providing services. Manufacturing’s share ofU. S. employment peaked in 1953, at 35%. It has been declining steadily since. In the decade that will end in 2010, the Bureau of Labor Statistics figures that goods-producing industries will create 1.3 million new jobs, compared to 20 million for service industries. To look at it another way, today there are about four times as many people working in service jobs as in other kinds of jobs. And even within manufacturing, services are an increasingly large share of operations.　　As America got richer, consumption got more complicated. With more income to throw around, people started spending more on services -- movies and travel, mortgages to buy houses, insurance to protect those houses, the occasional weekends at a luxury hotel. Fortune calls this a shift in the demand pattern. Over the next few years, only three of the ten fastest-growing occupations ( software engineers, nurses, and computer support ) pay middle-class salaries. The rest could be called Wal-Mart kinds of jobs -- cashiers, retail assistants, food service, and so on. In short, the service economy is delivering more good jobs than ever before.To take Wal-Mart to the top of the Fortune 500, Sam Walton __ A．promoted sales and cut costs at the same timeB．exhorted employees to sell better with the "ten-foot rule"C．spared no efforts to push sales growthD．cut back costs with information technology
