Attention to detail is something everyone can and should do―especially in a tight job mar?ket. Bob Crossley,a humanresources expert notices 1 in the job applications that 2 his desk every day. "It's 3 how many candidates eliminate themselves," he says.
"Resumes (简历) 4 with stains. Some candidates don't 5 to spell the company's name correctly. Once I see a mistake,I eliminate the candidate," Crossley concludes, "If they cannot take care of these 6 ,why should we 7 them with a job?"
Can we pay too much attention to details? Absolutely. Perfectionists struggle 8 little things at the cost of something larger they work toward. "To keep 9 losing the forest for the trees," says Charles Garfield,associate professor at the University of California,San Fran?cisco ,"we must constantly ask ourselves 10 the details we're working on 11 into the larger picture. If they don't,we should 12 them and move to something else."
Garfield compares this process 13 his work as a computer scientist at NASA. "The Apollo II moon 14 was slightly offcourse 90 percent of the time," says Garfield. "But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact 15 of our goal. This allowed us to 16 adjustments as necessary."Knowing where we want to go 17 us judge the im?portance of every task we undertake.

本文是一篇富有哲理性的议论文。作者从我们身边琐事谈起,深入浅出地说明了一条道理:要成就一番大事业,必须从小事做起。1. B本题有一点点难度,需仔细分析句子成分。
this在这作宾语。不能选it作形式宾语代替后面的that从句,因为that引导的是一个定语从句,修饰先行词applications ,并作主语。
A和D均不能用在此处。
2. D该空的四个短语的意思是:come true实现,达到;come into being形成,产生;come over过来,抓住;come across来到,偶遇,交付。故应选择D项。
3. C "正是不注重小节,许多求职者自己把自己淘汰出局"这一现象令人吃惊,而不是"令人兴奋和感兴趣"。
B项的"疑惑"也不对。不是对此不解,而是令人不安、吃惊和震惊。
4. C此处arrive意为"递交上来的",不要误理解为本空是go with这一搭配的短语;另两个选项不符合句意。
5. A此句的意思是"有些求职者竟然嫌麻烦把要应聘的公司名称拼写正确"。
B是不喜欢,C是不同意,D是不关心,都与题意不符。
6. D上下文有多次提示,我们身边的小事、小节均使用details—词。
7. B根据空后的with a job可知give,offer均不能用在此处。
believe仅是相信的意思不符合题意。而trust除了信任以外,还有给予、提供的意思。
8. C此处的struggle over是"关于什么的斗争";而不是"为什么、与什么"以及"反对什么的斗争"。请见下面的例句:Their struggle over prices finally ended in a satisfactory settlement.他们关于价格的斗争最后得到了令人满意的解决。
9. A keep from是"防止、阻止"之意。其他选项与此处不符。
10. D本句的意思是"……与这幅图画配得怎么样"因此要选D项。
C项whether有一定干扰,不过我们还是可以从句意上来做出正确的判断。不能理解为"是否配得上"。
11. B suit是及物动词,不需要跟into连用;get into与句意不符;adapt要与to连用。故应选B项。
12. C此处drop意思是"放弃;断绝(往来) ;停止同某人交往"之意。如:He seems to have dropped most of his friends.他好像与大多数的朋友不再来往了。
A、B两项不符题意。
D项give in为不及物动词词组,不能用在此处。
13. A compare只与with或to连用。意为"与
……相比较","把……比作"。此处应选A项。
14. A A项是指火箭的"发射",其他与句意不符。
15. D D的意思是"坐标",句意为"我们目标的精确坐标或定位",A选项就成了"目标的目标"不对。
B项是"安排",C项是"决心" 都与句意不符。
16. B此处是一词组make adjustments to sth. 其他选项均不符合题意。
17. C请注意选空后原形动词的形式,据此可排除B和D项。
benefit是不及物动词,需介词from连用,不符合本题的要求。
18. A注意后面的is,本空要选填主格代词作主语。
that在名词性从句中仅起连接作用,在句中不作任何成分。而which和as都是要连接定语从句,在此处不妥。
19. D上下文有多次提及,身边的小事要用lit?tle,此处不用few。
20. B bring和produce都是及物动词与本处不符,本句的意思是"只要我们做好力所能及的身边小事,回报就会随之而来"。 succeed 一词与句意不符。
