分析：

该题型是由一篇完整的文章构成，但是被分解为7个部分，其中开始和结尾部分已经给出，所以在做此题时，首先要注意出题者已经提供的开始和结尾部分，开始段落经常会提供材料的内容方向，所以为了节省时间，考生在考场上要首先阅读该选项以获得信息的最大化。第一个选项经常是提出问题，或者对问题的进一步阐述，那么不同的段落之间具有一定的逻辑关系，所以考生需要对五个段落开头以及结尾部分特别注意。例如，在该题中，很明显C时提出问题，E项则是对该问题的进一步完善，接着说出作者的疑问即A项。本套试卷后面部分提供了多套练习题，包括对科技新闻的报道以帮助考生熟悉多种文体的逻辑关系。正确答案为：CEABD

Sample 3

Directions:

You are going to read a text about the tips on resume writing, followed by a list of examples. Choose the best example from the list A-F for each numbered subheading (41-45). There is one extra example which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)

The main purpose of a resume is to convince an employer to grant you an interview. There are two kinds. One is the familiar “tombstone”that lists where you went to school and where you’ve worked in chronological order. The other is what I call the “functional”resume-descriptive, fun to read, unique to you and much more likely to land you an interview.

It’s handy to have a “tombstone”for certain occasions. But prospective employers throw away most of those un-requested “tombstone”lists, preferring to interview the quick rather than the dead.

What follows are tips on writing a functional resume that will get read—a resume that makes you come alive and look interesting to employers

(41) Put yourself first:

In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel important about yourself.

(42) Sell what youcan do, not who you are:

Practice translating your personality traits, character, accomplishments and achievements into skill areas. There are at least five thousand skill areas in the world of work.

Toot your own horn!

Many prople cluch when asked to think about their abilities. Some think they have none at all! But everyone does, and one of yours may just be the ticket an employer would be glad to punch-if only you show it.

(43) Be specific, be concrete, and be brief!

Remember that “brevity is the best policy.”

(44) Turn bad news into good:

Everybody has had disappointments in work. If you have to mention yours, look for the positive side.

(45) Never apologize:

if you’ve returning to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply write a short paragraph(summary of background) in place of a chronology of experience. Don’t apologize for working at being a mother;it’s the hardest job of all. If you have no higher education, just don’t mention education.

The secret is to think about the self before you start writing about yourself. Take four or five hours off, not necessarily consecutive, and simply write down every accomplishment in your life, on or off the fob, that made you feel effective. Don’t worry at first about what it all means. Study the list and try to spot patterns. As you study your list, once you discover pattern, give names to your cluster of accomplishments (leadership skills, budget management skills, child development skills etc.) Try to list at least three accomplishments under the same heading. Now start writing your resume as if you mattered. It may take four drafts or more, and several weeks, before you’re ready to show it to a stranger (friends are usually too kind) for a reaction. when you’re satisfied, send it to a printer; a printed resume is far superior to photocopies. It shows an employer that you regard job hunting as serious work, worth dong right.

Isn’t that the kind of person you’d want working for you?

［A］A women who lost her job as a teacher’s aide due to a cutback in government funding wrote: “Principal of elementary school cited me as the only teacher’s aide she would rehire if government funds became available.”

［B］One resume I received included the following: “Invited by my superior to straighten out our organization’s accounts receivable. Set up orderly repayment schedule, reconciled accounts weekly, and improved cash flow 100 percent. Rewarded with raise and promotion.”notice how this women focuses on results, specifies how she accomplished them, and mentions her reward-all in 34 words.

［C］For example, if you have a flair for saving, managing and investing money, you have money skills.

［D］An acquaintance complained of being biased when losing an opportunity due to the statement “Ready to learn though not so well educated”.

［E］One of my former colleagues, for example, wrote three resumes in three different syles in order to find out which was more preferred. The result is, of course, the one that highlights skills and education background.

［F］A woman once told me about a cash-flow crosos her employer had faced. She’d agreed to work without pay for three months until business improved. Her reward was her back pay plus a 20 percent bonus. I asked why that marvelous story wasn’t in her resume. She answered, “It wasn’t important.” What she was really saying of course was “I’m not important.”

分析：

本题型是首先给出了文章的意图，给出了5个建议，然后考生根据这5个建议选择合适的例子给与支持。但是出题者提供了6个例子，需要考生进行筛选。本题型与上种题型所需要的技巧是不一样的，本题5个部分之间是没有必要联系的，可以说在某种程度上是独立的，所以考生应该先做自己有把握的，容易的。例如，在本题中第44题和第45题，都比较简单，可以马上识别是A和D, 然后再筛选做前3个。正确答案为：FCBAD
