The Scientific Approach to Recruitment

  When it 20 to selecting candidates through interview, more often than not the decision is made within the first five minutes of a meeting.??Yet employers like to 21 themselves that they are being exceptionally thorough in their selection processes. In today’s competitive market place, the 22 of staff in many organizations is fundamental to the company’s success and, as a result , recruiters use all means at their disposal to 23 the best in the field.

  One method in particular that has 24 in popularity is testing , either psychometric testing, which attempts to define psychological characteristics , or ability£aptitude testing 25 an organization with an extra way of establishing a candidate’s suitability for a role. It 26 companies to add value by identifying key elements of a position and then testing candidates to ascertain their ability against those identified elements.

  The employment of psychometric or ability testing as one 27 of the recruitment process may have some merit, but in reality there is no real 28, scientific or otherwise, of the potential future performance of any individual. The answer to this problem is experience in interview techniques and strong definition of the elements of each position to be 29 as the whole recruitment process is based on few real certainties, the instinctive decisions that many employers make, based on a CT and the first five minutes of a meeting, are probably no less valid than any other tool employed in the 30 of recruitment.

  21.A suggest B convince C advise D believe

  22.A worth B credit C quality D distinction

  23.A secure B relies C attain D achieve

  24.A lifted B enlarged C expanded D risen

  25.A provides B offers C contributes D gives

  26.A lets B enables C agrees D admits

  27. A portion B member C share D component

  28. A extent B size C amount D measure

  29.A occupied B met  C filled D appointed

  30 A business B topic C point D affair

  《The scientific approach to recruitment》,招人的科学方法。这篇完型比较简单。完型填空也有两种题型,两种解题思路。一种是从意思上理解然后做出选择,一种是根据单词的用法。前者比较容易,后者很考验语言功底。

  21题,理解上下文的意思。前面说招人时的决定一般是在五分钟以内做出的。但是雇主们试图使自己详细相信他们在挑选过程中是经过了深思熟虑的。Convince oneself,使确信。其他的词没有这个用法。

  22题,员工的质量对公司的成功是至关重要的。选quality。

  23题,招人者试图利用一切方法来抓住这个领域最好的人才,secure the best,抓住最好的。realise是实现,attain是获得,后面不能接人,achieve是实现一个目标。

  24题,rise in popularity,固定搭配,popularity是知名度的意思,这个词组应该可以翻译成声名鹊起。

  25题,provides with,提供。给组织提供另外一种方法。offer的用法是offer sb sth,contribute在这里意思不对。

  26题,是公司能够增加价值,enable

  27题,这题的意思很明显,测试testing作为招聘过程的一个组成部分,要区分选项的几个单词,尤其是portion和component,看英英解释。

  Component:one of several parts that together make up a whole machine, system etc

  Portion:a part of something larger, especially a part that is different from the other parts

  这里强调testing是一个组成部分,没有说明特殊的地方,选component。

  28题,对每个人未来的可能表现没有一个真正的衡量。选measure。

  29题,fill a position,填补空位,fill在这里的意思是to perform a particular job, activity, or purpose in an organization, or to find someone or something to do this。不能选occupy,因为occupy更强调人的一种主动,而这里只是客观说某个需要填补的职位。

  30题,in the business of,也是一种固定的说法,在什么的过程中。很多场合都可以使用。可以多看几个例句:

  We’re in the business of stimulating the economyBy Obama

  Energetics is a specialist management consultancy in the business of climate change

Another successful year

  Total group sales 22 by five per cent to £155 million, with the agricultural business delivering yet another record 23, despite the somewhat difficult trading 24 in the industry. Sales in the garden equipment 25 were slow in the early months of the year, but increased dramatically in the final quarter.

  Chairman Suresh Kumar said, ‘It is my 26 that we have continued to grow by 27 our customers well. I am delighted to 28 the continued development of our customer 29 and I would like to thank all our customers for their 30.As well as an increase in customers,our staff numbers also continue to grow. During the year, we have taken3158 new employees, so that our total workforce now numbers in excess of 700. All of the staff deserve my praise for their dedication and continued efforts in 32 these excellent results.’

  The group has proposed a final 33 of 9.4p per share, bringing the total to 13p for the year.

  30 A support B favour C assistance D service

  31 A up B back C on D over

  32 A winning B gaining C achieving D earning

  33 A dividend B recompense C return D interest

  这是一篇总结性的文章,讲述了一个公司一年的业绩状况,形势喜人。

  19题,interests在这里的用法比较特殊,不是兴趣,而是股权,权益的证明:

  1Something in which such a right, claim, or share is held:

  权益、债权或股权的证明:

  has interests overseas.

  有海外产权

  2A person or group of persons holding such a right, claim, or share:

  持有此种权益、债权或股权的`人或集团:

  a petroleum interest.

  石油业者

  20题,很显然意思是连续五年利润创记录,in a row是固定短语,连续几次的,连续不断的;in a line是成一排。

  21题,年税前收益截至3月31日增长了24%,达到了420万英镑。the year ending March 31,表示以3月31日结束

  22题,意思很明显,销售增长了5%。climb有一种用法是指数量或水平的增长to increase in number, amount, or level。例句:The temperature has climbed steadily since this morning.

  23和24题,虽然整个行业的贸易状况很困难,但是agricultural business创造了另一个创纪录的表现。

  25题,garden equipment division 园林设备部。截至目前所做的解析,这个division已经是第二次在完形填空里出现了。

  26和27题,It is my belief that 我相信。我相信是因为好好对待了客户所以我们才会持续增长。

  28题,很高兴报告客户基数的持续增长。从意思上看可以排除C,A和B都是比较正式的通知,选D,报告。

  29题,customer base客户基数,这也已经是第二次考到了。

  30题,典型的客套话,感谢客户的支持。

  31题,新增了58位新员工。take up占据,拿起,继续,开始从事等等;take back拿回,收回;take on一般做呈现讲,有雇佣的意思朗文:to start to employ someone,例句:We're taking on 50 new staff this year.take over接管。

  32题,付出了持续不断的努力实现了这些结果。achieve是最地道的。

  33题,只需要理解dividend的意思就行了,因为后面有share股份,dividend是红利。recompense是给….以补偿。

  疑问:

  23题为什么不能选D做“示范”讲?

  先从文章的内容来理解的话,23这个空说的是agricultural business的业绩好,表现好,用performance是很完美合适的

  具体说这个demonstration,的确有“示范”的意思,但在英英词典是这么解释的:

  “an act of explaining and showing how to do something or how something works”,中文做“演示”讲

  所以用在这里是不合适的,并没有进行业绩演示

  你理解的“示范”,应该是那种带有榜样性质的示范。单看中文意思很容易混淆
