Question

　　The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state　 36　 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have　 37　 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without　 38　 out any necessary fact.

　　In writing a letter of application, keep in　 39　 that the things a possible employer is most　

 40　 to want to know about are your qualifications（條件）, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.　41　 the first few sentences fail to　 42　 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be　 43　 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not　 44　 your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your　 45　 in today's paper. ”you might say“I have made a careful　 46　 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives　 47　 your product and why they like it.”

　　Try to　 48　 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now　 49　. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“ What can I　 50　 in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no　 51　 has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is　 52　.

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.　53　 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent　54　 is to enclose（內(nèi)附）a stamped, self - addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it　 55　 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

Answer 1

　　36．A求職信上應(yīng)該言語明確，表達(dá)清晰。

　　37．B信上寫明你的能力和工作經(jīng)歷。前面已說明your abilities，此處不選C、D。

　　38．C　leave out表示“遺漏”，不遺漏任何重要內(nèi)容。

　　39．D　keep sth. in mind為固定搭配，表示“記住”。

　　40．C　A、B不能修飾人，因此，用be likely do表示“可能會(huì)……”。

　　41．D　if引導(dǎo)假設(shè)狀語從句，闡述如果求職信不能吸引別人的注意會(huì)有什么結(jié)果。

　　42．B　“開頭幾句沒有能夠吸引到讀者的注意”。

　　43．D　如果開頭幾句吸引不了讀者，其余部分對(duì)方就不會(huì)去看了。

　　44．A　與上文形成對(duì)照與呼應(yīng)，“針對(duì)雇主的要求”而不是“針對(duì)你的要求”。

　　45．A　下文的your advertising是明確的提示，指對(duì)方在報(bào)上刊的招聘廣告。

　　46．C　此處用make a study與下文的make a survey均表示“研究，考慮”。

　　47．D　下文說“她們?yōu)槭裁聪矚g”，可見與“使用”是相聯(lián)系的，喜歡才會(huì)去用，用過才覺得喜歡。

　　48．A　generality表示“籠統(tǒng)”，說清楚你的需求，不要過于籠統(tǒng)抽象。

　　49．B　apply for表示“申請(qǐng)”，既然是求職信，當(dāng)然是為了“申請(qǐng)工作”。

　　50．D　“求職信中應(yīng)該給對(duì)方提供什么信息呢?”provide表示“（為……）提供”，offer表示“（愿意）給”，不合文意。

　　51．B　既然是no…h(huán)as experience，只有剛開始找工作的graduates沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn)，因此選B。

　　52．D　從上下文看，作者說只要你做過的事都可以稱為經(jīng)驗(yàn)／經(jīng)歷。

　　53．A　make a request for sth.的意思是request，“懇請(qǐng)，要求”，make的此類用法十分常見，如make an answer／reply／

　　54．D　在信內(nèi)附上一張有地址和郵票的信封，這是個(gè)好主意，而不是決定保證等。

　　55．B　這種情況下雇主與你聯(lián)系就很方便了，因?yàn)榛匦欧庖褱?zhǔn)備好了，地址也寫了。
