3.Plenty of job seekers,according to career and workplace consultant Alexandra Levit,are making major mistakes at those big,important meetings with their would-be bosses.Candidates would do well to avoid the following interview mistakes:(44)BAt most job interviews,both parties-the interviewer and the interviewee-are expected to ask questions.Do your homework on the company and make sure your questions aren't so obvious that they can be answered with a five-second Google search.
"(45)G You shouldn't ask too many general questions because they might have the opinion that you should know some of the answers."Levit said.
Talking too much.
Even if you're really smart,you won't impress anybody if you don't do your fair share of listening.
"It should be a two-way conversation,"Levit said."(46)E Really take the time to read between the lines and pay attention to what they are saying."
Treating the interviewer like a friend.
Of course you want to be friendly with your interviewer,but it's important to remember that this person is not someone with whom you'll be throwing back a few beers next weekend.You have to keep your guard up.
"You don't want to treat them as if they're someone you can take into your confidence."Levit said."(47)F"
Bad-mouthing your last employer.
Sometimes,even your last boss was Satan himself.(48)C Find a way to put a positive reason on why you left-or plan to leave-your last job.
"Don't say,‘Oh I left because my company was insufferable,'"Levit said."The employer is going to be sitting there thinking you're going to be saying that about them in three years and it isn't going to fill them with confidence."
A.Asking proper questions.
B.Failing to ask smart questions.
C.A job interview is not the time to uncover it.
D.Listen more and you'll have more answers.
E.You're not going to learn as much about their needs if you don't listen.
F.You should portray yourself as confident,enthusiastic and professional.
G.You are supposed to have some knowledge of the industry and the position.

解答 44-48 BGEFC
44.B 推理判断题 根据本部分第一段最后一句Do your homework on the company and make sure your questions aren't so obvious that they can be answered with a five-second Google search.可知之前一定要做好准备,准好好一些有价值的问题.故B正确.
45.G 推理判断题 根据本段第一句You shouldn't ask too many general questions because they might have the opinion that you should know some of the answers.可知你不要只是稳一些大概的问题,因为这些问题的答案很浅显.你要对这个行业和职位有所了解,并准备一些很有价值的问题.故G项正确.
46.E 推理判断题 根据横线后句Really take the time to read between the lines and pay attention to what they are saying.作者建议我们要花时间去理解对方所说的话的言外之意,那么也就是说要学会倾听.故E项正确.
47.F 推理判断题 根据本段第一句"You don't want to treat them as if they're someone you can take into your confidence."不要把他们当成是你能够获得自信的对象,你要把你自己当成是很有自信、热情和专业的人.那样才可以和对方友好对待.故F项符合上下文串联.
48.C 推理判断题 根据本段的标题Bad-mouthing your last employer.苛刻评价你上一个老板,千万不要做这样的事情,如果你这样做了,很可能也得不到这个工作.你要找出自己离职的一个积极的理由,故C正确.
点评 解题策略
1)从意思上判断 在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子,正确理解了这些句子后,根据意思的连贯性、逻辑性或者线索词从选项中选取正确答案.在读懂意思的基础上,再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案.
2)从词汇上锁定线索 做保持对一些线索词的敏感是非常重要的,要好好关注空白前后的名词和动词,然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等.其次是一些专有名词,比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等.尤其是在读不懂句子的情况下,利用这样的线索词寻找答案是很有效的方法.
3)从关联词作为切入点 通常,英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示过渡和衔接,让文章的思路与更清楚、逻辑更连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索.在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来.
