25、把它当成一种提示服务”这说明它不是不可或缺的。选项 b说法刚好相反应该是求职者利用搜索代理密切关注行业需求情况。选项 d这种说法是和原文相反的在找到工作后人们仍然可以一直使用搜索代理。难句解析1. it ' s an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then e-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database。【结构分析】 本句属于强调句句子主干 &qu
