The job interview

An editor of a newspaper talks about interviewing people for jobs as journalists.

(E =Editor; I =Interviewer)

I: How important is the interview when you are choosing someone to work for your newspaper?

E: It’s extremely important. Naturally a person who's coming to work here needs good exam results, especially in English. But the interview is very important.

I: In what way?

E: I've got to be sure that the person is going to be able to get on with people. They need to be  quick thinkers and they need to be able to express themselves easily in words.

I: Are there any other qualities (素質(zhì)) that you are looking for?

E: Yes. The kind of mind that's always asking questions, being able to talk to people easily, that kind of thing.

I: What do you do in the interview?

E: I ask the person about their time at school and their work experience. I ask them about events     of the day and ask about their political opinions. I change subjects often and see if they can answer a question quickly.

I: Can you give any general advice to school-leavers who are about to go for a job interview?

E: Yes. Arrive on time. Dress tidily, but not too smartly. Find out as much as you can about the  organization before you go to the interview. Don't be shy. Be proud of your successes. But don't pretend to know everything. Admit what you don't know and show that you are eager to learn and gain experience.

StepIII.Cloze.

This was the morning, when Jeremy, 14 years old, was to begin his duck shooting. He had  1   the whole idea ever since his father had bought him   2  and had promised him a trip to this island. But he loved his father and wanted to   3   him.

They came to the beach. To  4  the sense of fear, he took a   5  of his father. Then he put the camera aside and picked up the gun. His father said happily, “I’ve been   6   a long time for this day.

And then he said, “Let’s try again.” Jeremy didn’t lower his hands. “It’s no use, I can’t.”

“Hurry, you’ll miss him. Here!” Gold metal touched Jeremy. He   17   up, unbelieving. His father was handing the camera to him, and said softly, “Quick!” Jeremy stood up and pressed his shutter release (快門) button in a flash. “I got him!” his face was bright.

Jeremy saw that there was no disappointment in his father’s eyes,   18   pride and love. “I’ll always love shooting. But that doesn’t mean you   19   . Sometimes it takes as much courage not to do a thing as to do it.” He paused. “I think you could teach me how to operate that  20  .”

1. 此題系2001年之（25）題

The Parkers bought a new house but ________ will need a lot of work before they can

move in .

A. they   B. it   C. one    D. which

答案 ：B   通過率 ：70%

測試語言點 ：每個代詞究竟“代表”什么？完全要看具體內(nèi)容和語境。

這里的it指a new house ， 當(dāng)然是單數(shù)了。

要吸取的經(jīng)驗 ：此題不太難。但是，仍然有必要使用未被選中的三個代詞進(jìn)行造句訓(xùn)練 。英語能力是“練”出來的，不是“講”出來的。

請看下面這幾句話 :

The Parkers bought two houses , one of which was completed only a few weeks ago .

They are both modern ones ; but one is far better and much more expensive than the other .

2. 此題系2001年之（26）題

We didn’t plan our art exhibition like that but it ________ very well.

A. worked out B. tried out C. went on D. carried on

答案 ：A   通過率 ：13%

測試語言點 ：詞組動詞的實際應(yīng)用 。

試題詳析 ：

高考的主要依據(jù)是高考“詞匯表”，該表只有英語單詞 ，沒有任何漢語詞義 。這說明：該“詞匯表”所列每個單詞究竟有幾種詞義，幾種用法，

“根本沒有限制。”高中英語課本并不是高考的依據(jù)，因此，此題必然難倒眾多考生。他們手頭的“英漢對照詞匯表”指出work out的詞義是“算出”和“解決”，與此題無干。結(jié)果，只好，在C和D中任選一個。二者都有“繼續(xù)”

（continue）的意思。故肯定不能選。剩下的try out表示“實驗”的意思，則更加與此題無干。那么，使用“排除法”便可選中A了。

當(dāng)然，真正完成好此題，仍然要依靠“上下文”；這句話的上文是 ： 我們本來并不是那樣安排這個展覽會的，暗指原來規(guī)模較小，僅限于美術(shù)界人士…下文是 ：結(jié)果 ，各界人士都來參觀 ，引起轟動一時的社會效應(yīng)…“無心插柳柳成陰”，雖然還是原來的那樣安排 ，結(jié)果卻進(jìn)行得非常好，出乎意料。這使人聯(lián)想起turn out一詞，其詞義為“結(jié)果，出乎意料，竟然是…”。它與work out一樣都跟out搭配，便可“猜測，推測” work out與turn out詞義相近 。最后，還是要看幾個句子，才能“心中有底。”

※I hoped that our firm would join up with one of the largest companies of the country .

But it doesn’t seem to be working out that way .

※※--- I wonder if you can work out this problem .

--- I shan’t know until you try me out .

※※※Please carry on as usual while I listen to the class .

※※※※I want to go on being a teenager , because I am enjoying every minute of it .

要吸取的經(jīng)驗 ：

考生們手頭的“英漢對照詞匯表”到了21世紀(jì)仍然在害人。千萬不要背記“英漢對照詞匯表” 。高考復(fù)習(xí)一定要立足“語篇”。

3. 此題系2001年之（27）題

The home improvements have taken what little there is _______ my spare time.

A. from   B. in   C. of     D. at

答案 ：C  通過率 ：23%

測試語言點 ：名詞短語，名詞從句與介詞的搭配。

要吸取的經(jīng)驗 ：

名詞短語，名詞從句與介詞無論怎樣搭配，它們與個體名詞一樣，都是一個單位，“一個整體。”這就是本人在2001年10月中國書店出版的“北京市特級教師論綜合”一書所述的“四化”（語篇化 ，交際化 ，整體化 ， 實用化）之一-----“整體化。”

試題詳析 ：

這句話的意思是 ：改善家居狀況（裝修，布置等等）耗費了我僅有的一點點業(yè)余時間。所以，“僅有的一點點”（what little there is）是“我的業(yè)余時間”（my spare time）的“一部分”（part），故而，what little there is可延長為what little time there is ，也可縮短為the remaining little time 或者small part。顯然，只有譯出一個“的”字 ，便可確定 ：選of是對的。這樣，此題The home improvements have taken what little there is __of__ my spare time.可以改寫為The home improvements have taken the remaining little time（small part）__of__ my spare time.。

of的意思有時等于from ，但是在這里of僅僅表示部分（what little there is ）與整體（my spare time）的關(guān)系，它的雙重詞義是：“…的”以及“從…之中奪取”的；因此，of和from二者詞義在這里是不同的。至于in 和at ，都與本題內(nèi)容無干。

4. 此題系2001年之（28）題

It is generally believed that teaching is _________ it is a science.

A. an art much as       B. much an art as

C. as an art much as    D. as much an art as

答案 ：D   通過率 ：49%

測試語言點 ：表示程度相當(dāng)?shù)脑~組。

要吸取的經(jīng)驗 ：

此題不難。三個錯誤選項的語感生疏，十分明顯。只要回憶一下你學(xué)過的詞組，便可選中。語感培養(yǎng)的基礎(chǔ)是經(jīng)驗，經(jīng)驗的積累來自足夠數(shù)量的實踐。

試題詳析 ：

此題It is generally believed that teaching is as much an art as  it is a science.

可改寫為It is generally believed that teaching is an art as well as   a science

（a branch of science called education）（a science called educational science.）.

或者改寫為It is generally believed that teaching is both an art and a science. 

改寫是英語使用能力培養(yǎng)的最佳手段 。

5. 此題系2001年之（29）題

The warmth of ________ sweater will of course be determined by the sort of

_______  wool used .

A. the ; the   B. the ; 不填   C. 不填; the   D. 不填  ; 不填

答案 ：B通過率 ：36%

測試語言點 ：冠詞用法。

要吸取的經(jīng)驗 ：

冠詞的應(yīng)用能力，只能在實踐中獲取。冠詞使用的理論規(guī)則只有一句話 ：使用the表示“特指”，使用a , an 或者不使用任何冠詞均表示“泛指”。“毛衣”自然是指“這件”。所用“毛料”似乎并非是指“一般毛料，” 但是，the （a）sort [sorts] of wool與 the（a）kind [kinds] of book ，the（a）type[types]of car ，等等詞組后面都跟名詞單數(shù)不加任何冠詞。還有，樂器，球類 ，山川，國名等都有固定的冠詞用法規(guī)則可循。實踐---經(jīng)驗---語感是學(xué)習(xí)冠詞的唯一勝利之路。

6. 此題系2001年之（30）題

I _________ ping-pong quite well, but I haven’t had time to play since the new year.

A. will play B. have played C. played D. play

答案 ：D    通過率 ：41%

測試語言點 ：時態(tài)的應(yīng)用。與第24題相同。

要吸取的經(jīng)驗 ：

一般現(xiàn)在時表示平時一般情況。這句的意思是 ：我（平時）乒乓打得不錯，可是新的一年里，還沒有空閑時間打乒乓呢。現(xiàn)在完成時表示現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)完成某個行為，并且在現(xiàn)在有了結(jié)果。I have played ping-pong hundreds of times for over 5 years, but I haven’t made much progress in my skills and techniques . 一般過去時表示過去的一般情況，強(qiáng)調(diào)是過去的時間性。I played ping-pong an hour a day in my childhood , but now I simply can’t afford the time .一般將來時表示將來的一般情況。I hope I will play ping-pong over two hours and a half a day when I’m retired .顧名思義，學(xué)習(xí)英語的16種時態(tài)，只要知道它們的名稱便可得知其基本概念和用法。

16個時態(tài)，用16句話，便可以講解完畢。時態(tài)必須在語篇中學(xué)習(xí)，才能真正掌握。

7 . 此題系2001年之（31）題

A computer can only do ________ you have instructed it to do.

A. how     B. after          C. what        D. when

答案 ：C    通過率 ：74%

測試語言點 ：名詞從句，狀語從句與動詞不定式的協(xié)調(diào)應(yīng)用。

要吸取的經(jīng)驗 ：

類似第27題，這個短句子要作為一個“整體”看待。上文的do與下文的do都要兼顧。上文的do, do什么？下文的do又do什么？不回答這兩個問題，便會顧頭不顧尾，選擇失誤。試對比下面句子的不同上下文 ：

A computer can only do __what__ you have instructed it to do.

A computer can do nothing __when__ you haven’t instructed it to work .

A computer can only do something __after__ you have instructed it to do so.

A computer does not know __how_  human beings constructed robots ----

its new generation .

8. 此題系2001年之（32）題

Visitors __________  not to touch the exhibits .

A. will  request   B. request     C. are requesting   D. are requested

答案 ：D     通過率 ：66%

測試語言點 ：動詞被動語態(tài)與主動語態(tài)的區(qū)別。

要吸取的經(jīng)驗 ：

request這個動詞你可能不認(rèn)識，但是只要掌握了動詞被動語態(tài)與主動語態(tài)的句型，顧名思義，便會區(qū)別它們 。例句：

Visitors _are requested（are asked）  not to touch the exhibits .

Visitors _request _ the guide not to show them around such a large hall with so many

exhibits within such a short time .  It is to take them only half an hour to visit

the whole museum  !

Visitors _will request_ the tour agency to make up for the loss of their time if there

is another twenty minutes’ delay during their visit to the second place of interest .

Visitors _are requesting _ the tour guide not to waste too much time on the exhibits

they are not interested in at all
