Section C
Directions
:
There
are
two
passages
in
this
section.
Each
passage
is
followed
by
some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C
and
D.
You
should
decide
on
the
best
choice.
Then
write
down
the
correct
answer
in
the
brackets
for
each
question
or
statement.
This
section
totals
20
points,
two
points
for
each
question.
Passage One
Investing
thousands
of
pounds
in
the
recruitment
and
training
of
each
new
graduate
recruit may be just the beginning. Choosing the wrong candidate may leave an organisation
paying for years to come.
Few companies will have escaped all of the following failures: people who panic at the
first sight of stress; those with long impressive qualifications who seem incapable of learning;
hypochondriacs
whose
absentee
record
becomes
astonishing;
and
the
unstable
person
later
discovered to be a thief or worse.
Less dramatic, but just as much a problem, is the person who simply does not come up
to expectations, who does not quite deliver; who never becomes a high-flier or even a steady
performer; the employee with a fine future behind them.
The
first
point
to
bear
in
mind
at
the
recruitment
stage
is
that
people
don
’
t
change.
Intelligence levels decline modestly, but change little over their working life. The same is true
of abilities, such as learning languages and handling numbers.
Most
people
like
to
think
that
personality
can
change,
particularly
the
more
negative
features such as anxiety, low esteem, impulsiveness or a lack of emotional warmth. But data
collected
over
50
years
gives
a
clear
message:
still
stable
after
all
these
years.
Extroverts

become slightly less extroverted; the acutely shy appear a little less so, but the fundamentals
remain much the same. Personal crises can affect the way we cope with things: we might take
up or drop drink, drugs, religion or relaxation techniques, which can be have pretty dramatic
effects. Skills can be improved, and new ones introduced, but at rather different rates. People
can be groomed for a job. Just as politicians are carefully repackaged through dress, hairstyle
and speech specialists, so people can be sent on training courses, diplomas or experimental
weekends.
But
there
is
a
cost
to
all
this
which
may
be
more
than
the
price
of
the
course.
Better to select for what you actually see rather than attempt to change it.
（

1. The purpose of this passage is to give managers the advice that













.
A. Employers should select candidates for their potential.
B.
Employers
should
select
candidates
for
what
they
are
rather
than
for
their
potential.
C.
Employers
should
select
the
newly
graduated
and
send
them
on
training
courses, diplomas or experimental weekends.

D. Employers should select experienced candidates to avoid spending thousands
of pounds in training.
（

2. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true
？









.
A. Absolutely, People don
’
t change during their working lives.

B. Generally, people change to a large extent during their working lives.
C. Fundamentally, people stay the same during their working lives.
D. Normally, people don
’
t change at all during their working lives.
（



）
3. What does
a fine future behind them
(line 3 of paragraph 3) means?









.
A. Some people will certainly have a promising
future though they are not very
competent in their present work.

B. Some people don
’
t have any potential for their work though they are employed.
C. Some people can have a bright future though they can
’
t do their work well.
D.
Some
people
have
potential
when
they
are
employed,
but
never
realize
that
potential.
