The Scientific Approach to Recruitment
When it (20) to selecting candidates through interview, more often than not the decision is made within the first five minutes of a meeting.??Yet employers like to (21) themselves that they are being exceptionally thorough in their selection processes. In today’s competitive market place, the (22) of staff in many organizations is fundamental to the company’s success and, as a result , recruiters use all means at their disposal to (23) the best in the field.
One method in particular that has (24) in popularity is testing , either psychometric testing, which attempts to define psychological characteristics , or ability￡aptitude testing (25) an organization with an extra way of establishing a candidate’s suitability for a role. It (26) companies to add value by identifying key elements of a position and then testing candidates to ascertain their ability against those identified elements.
The employment of psychometric or ability testing as one (27) of the recruitment process may have some merit, but in reality there is no real (28), scientific or otherwise, of the potential future performance of any individual. The answer to this problem is experience in interview techniques and strong definition of the elements of each position to be (29) as the whole recruitment process is based on few real certainties, the instinctive decisions that many employers make, based on a CT and the first five minutes of a meeting, are probably no less valid than any other tool employed in the (30) of recruitment.
21.A suggest B convince C advise D believe
22.A worth B credit C quality D distinction
23.A secure B relies C attain D achieve
24.A lifted B enlarged C expanded D risen
25.A provides B offers C contributes D gives
26.A lets B enables C agrees D admits

29.A occupied B met C filled D appointed

《The scientific approach to recruitment》，招人的科學(xué)方法。這篇完型比較簡(jiǎn)單。完型填空也有兩種題型，兩種解題思路。一種是從意思上理解然后做出選擇，一種是根據(jù)單詞的用法。前者比較容易，后者很考驗(yàn)語言功底。
21題，理解上下文的意思。前面說招人時(shí)的決定一般是在五分鐘以內(nèi)做出的。但是雇主們?cè)噲D使自己詳細(xì)相信他們?cè)谔暨x過程中是經(jīng)過了深思熟慮的。Convince oneself，使確信。其他的詞沒有這個(gè)用法。
22題，員工的質(zhì)量對(duì)公司的成功是至關(guān)重要的。選quality。
23題，招人者試圖利用一切方法來抓住這個(gè)領(lǐng)域最好的(人才)，secure the best，抓住最好的。realise是實(shí)現(xiàn)，attain是獲得，后面不能接人，achieve是實(shí)現(xiàn)一個(gè)目標(biāo)。
24題，rise in popularity，固定搭配，popularity是知名度的意思，這個(gè)詞組應(yīng)該可以翻譯成聲名鵲起。
25題，provides with,提供。給組織提供另外一種方法。offer的用法是offer sb sth，contribute在這里意思不對(duì)。
26題，是公司能夠增加價(jià)值，enable
27題，這題的意思很明顯，測(cè)試(testing)作為招聘過程的一個(gè)組成部分，要區(qū)分選項(xiàng)的幾個(gè)單詞，尤其是portion和component，看英英解釋。
Component：one of several parts that together make up a whole machine, system etc
Portion：a part of something larger, especially a part that is different from the other parts
這里強(qiáng)調(diào)testing是一個(gè)組成部分，沒有說明特殊的地方，選component。
28題，對(duì)每個(gè)人未來的可能表現(xiàn)沒有一個(gè)真正的衡量。選measure。
29題，fill a position，填補(bǔ)空位，fill在這里的意思是to perform a particular job, activity, or purpose in an organization, or to find someone or something to do this。不能選occupy，因?yàn)閛ccupy更強(qiáng)調(diào)人的一種主動(dòng)，而這里只是客觀說某個(gè)需要填補(bǔ)的職位。
30題，in the business of，也是一種固定的說法，在什么的過程中。很多場(chǎng)合都可以使用�？梢远嗫磶讉�(gè)例句：
We’re in the business of stimulating the economy(By Obama)
Energetics is a specialist management consultancy in the business of climate change

Another successful year
The UK-based agricultural and garden equipment group PLT has had another successful year and is looking forward to the future with confidence. The group, which also has distribution and fuel (19),has enjoyed record profits for the fifth year in a (20) . Pre-tax profits for the year (21) March 31 rose by 24 per cent to £4.2 million.
Total group sales (22) by five per cent to £155 million, with the agricultural business delivering yet another record (23), despite the somewhat difficult trading (24) in the industry. Sales in the garden equipment (25) were slow in the early months of the year, but increased dramatically in the final quarter.
Chairman Suresh Kumar said, ‘It is my (26) that we have continued to grow by (27) our customers well. I am delighted to (28) the continued development of our customer (29) and I would like to thank all our customers for their (30).As well as an increase in customers,our staff numbers also continue to grow. During the year, we have taken(31)58 new employees, so that our total workforce now numbers in excess of 700. All of the staff deserve my praise for their dedication and continued efforts in (32) these excellent results.’
The group has proposed a final (33) of 9.4p per share, bringing the total to 13p for the year.
19 A commitments B interests C responsibilities D benefits
20 A row B series C line D sequence
21 A completing B closing C finalising D ending
22 A extended B lifted C expanded D climbed
23 A display B production C performance D demonstration
24 A conditions B features C states D aspects
25 A part B division C component D side
26 A certainty B thought C belief D idea
27 A caring B dealing C providing D treating
28 A inform B notify C comment D report
29 A source B base C foundation D origin
30 A support B favour C assistance D service
31 A up B back C on D over
32 A winning B gaining C achieving D earning
33 A dividend B recompense C return D interest
這是一篇總結(jié)性的文章，講述了一個(gè)公司一年的業(yè)績(jī)狀況，形勢(shì)喜人。
19題，interests在這里的用法比較特殊，不是興趣，而是股權(quán)，權(quán)益的證明：
1)Something in which such a right, claim, or share is held:
權(quán)益、債權(quán)或股權(quán)的證明：
has interests overseas.
有海外產(chǎn)權(quán)
2)A person or group of persons holding such a right, claim, or share:
持有此種權(quán)益、債權(quán)或股權(quán)的人或集團(tuán)：
a petroleum interest.
石油業(yè)者
20題，很顯然意思是連續(xù)五年利潤(rùn)創(chuàng)記錄，in a row是固定短語，連續(xù)幾次的，連續(xù)不斷的;in a line是成一排。
21題，年稅前收益截至3月31日增長(zhǎng)了24%，達(dá)到了420萬英鎊。the year ending March 31，表示以3月31日結(jié)束
22題，意思很明顯，銷售增長(zhǎng)了5%。climb有一種用法是指數(shù)量或水平的增長(zhǎng)(to increase in number, amount, or level)。例句：The temperature has climbed steadily since this morning.
23和24題，雖然整個(gè)行業(yè)的貿(mào)易狀況很困難，但是agricultural business創(chuàng)造了另一個(gè)創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的表現(xiàn)。
25題，garden equipment division 園林設(shè)備部。截至目前所做的解析，這個(gè)division已經(jīng)是第二次在完形填空里出現(xiàn)了。
26和27題，It is my belief that 我相信。我相信是因?yàn)楹煤脤?duì)待了客戶所以我們才會(huì)持續(xù)增長(zhǎng)。
28題，很高興報(bào)告客戶基數(shù)的持續(xù)增長(zhǎng)。從意思上看可以排除C，A和B都是比較正式的通知，選D，報(bào)告。
29題，customer base客戶基數(shù)，這也已經(jīng)是第二次考到了。
30題，典型的客套話，感謝客戶的支持。
31題，新增了58位新員工。take up占據(jù)，拿起，繼續(xù)，開始從事等等;take back拿回，收回;take on一般做呈現(xiàn)講，有雇傭的意思(朗文：to start to employ someone)，例句：We're taking on 50 new staff this year.take over接管。
32題，付出了持續(xù)不斷的努力實(shí)現(xiàn)了這些結(jié)果。achieve是最地道的。
33題，只需要理解dividend的意思就行了，因?yàn)楹竺嬗衧hare(股份)，dividend是紅利。recompense是給….以補(bǔ)償。
疑問：
23題為什么不能選D做“示范”講?
先從文章的內(nèi)容來理解的話，23這個(gè)空說的是agricultural business的業(yè)績(jī)好，表現(xiàn)好，用performance是很完美合適的
具體說這個(gè)demonstration,的確有“示范”的意思，但在英英詞典是這么解釋的：
“an act of explaining and showing how to do something or how something works”,中文做“演示”講
所以用在這里是不合適的，并沒有進(jìn)行業(yè)績(jī)演示
你理解的“示范”，應(yīng)該是那種帶有榜樣性質(zhì)的示范。單看中文意思很容易混淆
