on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well.then,suddenly,the interviewer asks an unexpected question,“which is more important,law or dove?”job applicants in the west increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this.and the signs are that this is beginning to happen in china.employers want people skilled,enthusiastic and devoted.so these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are.in response,employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicants true personality.the question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the keirsey personality sorter.it is an attempt to discover how people solve problems,rather than what they know.this is often called an aptitude test (能力倾向测验)according to mark baldwin many job applicants in china are finding this type of questions difficult.when a chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.this is sometimes called the prisoners dilemma.applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest.but they fail because they dont understand what the interviewer is looking for.remember that in an aptitude test,the correct answer is always the honest answer.【语篇解读】本文讲述了现代企业招聘面试中的能力倾向测试并为求职者提供了回答此类问题的技巧。5the writer wrote the passage to_.agive you a piece of advice on a job interviewbtell you how to meet a job interviewercdescribe the aptitude

often. people say them in schools, offices and factories. broadcasters on radio and television often use them.how did the expression begin? no one seems to know it. _9_ “it grew,” he says, “because rocket scientists probably are the most intelligent people around.”not everyone would agree. some people might be considered more intelligent than rocket scientists, for example, a person who speaks fifteen languages, or a medical doctor who operates on the brain. still, many people would agree that there is something special about scientists who build rockets. _10_moving pictures from before world war showed a man named buck rogers landing on the planet mars. he was a hero who could withdraw any enemy(敌军)from outer space. the rocket scientist is a different kind of hero. _11_rocket scientists, however, can have problems just like everyone else. a washington rocket scientist told about a launch(发射)that was put off many times. finally, everything seemed right. mechanical failures had been repaired. the weather was good. the scientists had planned that part of the rocket would fall into the ocean after the launch. all the ships and boats within many kilometers of the danger areas had been warned. but in the last few seconds a small boat entered the area. _12_13_ one scientist said, “as a child i loved to build the rockets. now i am a grownup. i still love to build rockets. and now i get paid for it.”ahe or she makes space travel possible.bits dangerous for rocket scientists to build rockets.cmaybe it has something to do with the mystery of space travel.dwhen

launch was put off.答案9.f10.c11.a12.g13.d.短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中每句中最多有两处错误。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏词符号(),并在其下面写出该加的词。删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改:在错的词下划一横线(_),并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意:每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;dear
