《The scientific approach to recruitment》，招人的科學(xué)方法。這篇完型比較簡(jiǎn)單。完型填空也有兩種題型，兩種解題思路。一種是從意思上理解然后做出選擇，一種是根據(jù)單詞的用法。前者比較容易，后者很考驗(yàn)語(yǔ)言功底。
21題，理解上下文的意思。前面說(shuō)招人時(shí)的決定一般是在五分鐘以內(nèi)做出的。但是雇主們?cè)噲D使自己詳細(xì)相信他們?cè)谔暨x過(guò)程中是經(jīng)過(guò)了深思熟慮的。Convince oneself，使確信。其他的詞沒(méi)有這個(gè)用法。
22題，員工的質(zhì)量對(duì)公司的成功是至關(guān)重要的。選quality。
23題，招人者試圖利用一切方法來(lái)抓住這個(gè)領(lǐng)域最好的(人才)，secure the best，抓住最好的。realise是實(shí)現(xiàn)，attain是獲得，后面不能接人，achieve是實(shí)現(xiàn)一個(gè)目標(biāo)。
24題，rise in popularity，固定搭配，popularity是知名度的意思，這個(gè)詞組應(yīng)該可以翻譯成聲名鵲起。
25題，provides with,提供。給組織提供另外一種方法。offer的用法是offer sb sth，contribute在這里意思不對(duì)。
26題，是公司能夠增加價(jià)值，enable
27題，這題的意思很明顯，測(cè)試(testing)作為招聘過(guò)程的一個(gè)組成部分，要區(qū)分選項(xiàng)的幾個(gè)單詞，尤其是portion和component，看英英解釋。
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
這里強(qiáng)調(diào)testing是一個(gè)組成部分，沒(méi)有說(shuō)明特殊的地方，選component。
28題，對(duì)每個(gè)人未來(lái)的可能表現(xiàn)沒(méi)有一個(gè)真正的衡量。選measure。
29題，fill a position，填補(bǔ)空位，fill在這里的意思是to perform a particular job, activity, or purpose in an organization, or to find someone or something to do this。不能選occupy，因?yàn)閛ccupy更強(qiáng)調(diào)人的一種主動(dòng)，而這里只是客觀說(shuō)某個(gè)需要填補(bǔ)的職位。
30題，in the business of，也是一種固定的說(shuō)法，在什么的過(guò)程中。很多場(chǎng)合都可以使用。可以多看幾個(gè)例句：
We’re in the business of stimulating the economy(By Obama)
Energetics is a specialist management consultancy in the business of climate change
