專八改錯練習第二十五篇:

The aim of a job interview is to establish whether you arelikely to do well in a particular job in a specific organization. This isnot only a matter of
having the necessary technical knowledge and skill. You __1__
must also have the motivation, the ability to adapt to
new ways of working and a new working environment, and__2__
the personality to do the job and fit into a new team.
But there are other personal skills affect your success __3__
in a job. These include getting on with people, oral or __4__
written communication, team working, problem solving and good time management.
Most people think that interviewers know what they
are looking for and will recognize when they see it. __5__
However, people are actually not very good at assessing
one and another. This applies to recruiters as much as __6__
anyone else. In fact a former head of selection at one big firm used to say that "some interviewersare so poor they would do better to rely on chances."
In companies which recognize this, various methods are
used to try to find the correct person. The most common __7__
is the structured interview. Research has shown that
this approach is more reliable than the ordinary job
interniew, though not as affective as using tests or __8__
assessment centers. In a structured interview, the
interviewer groups the qualities listing in the job __9__
specification under various headings. There are two well-established structures for this: the NationalInstitute of Industrial Psychology's Seven-Point Plan
the Five-Fold Grading System. The interviewers score
candidates for how well they fit the job specification. __10__

答案及解析(反白可見):
--skills
skill一詞為可數(shù)名詞,所以要用復數(shù)形式。
^(a)--to
在a前面加上to。句子中的a new working environment 和 new ways of working 并列充當adapt to的賓語,介詞to 在此不可以省略。
--affecting或者^affect--that/which
這句話已經(jīng)有謂語動詞are了,所以動詞affect可以以現(xiàn)在分詞的形式affecting出現(xiàn),做定語修飾前面的other personal skills;在affect前面加上that或者which,以定語從句的形式修飾other personalskills。
--and
全方面的交際能力應(yīng)該包括“oral和written”兩部分的,而不是其中之一。
5.^when--it
賓語從句中的謂語動詞recognize為及物動詞,氣后應(yīng)該接賓語,it在此處指代what they are lookingfor。
--one another 為固定的搭配,意思是“互相,彼此”。
t--right
right和correct當作“對的,正確的”解的時候為同義詞,可以替換使用;但此處right應(yīng)為“適宜的,合適的”,不可以與correct互換。
ive--effective
effective意思是“有效的,產(chǎn)生預期效果的”,在此與上下文的意思相吻合;而affective的意思是“情感的,表達感情的”。
g-listed
這里用listed表被動意義。
--against
score...against...可以看作一個固定的搭配,其意思是“根據(jù)...打分(評判)”。這個用法好像比較少見。?
