8、 American and British cultures文章分析】 这篇文章结构清晰，每段的主旨思想十分明确。第一段主要讲述公司为何要跨国寻求人才，因为国内的人才匮乏。第二段主要讲述个人为何要跨国求职，原因是多种多样的，包括为自己充电，为自己寻求需要承担更多责任的职位，让孩子接触不同的文化，自己学习一门外语等等。第三段主要讲述求职者如何写简历，着重指出要关注文化因素，包括公司文化，国家文化，个人在做决策和雇佣的决定时所涉及的文化等等。第三段又展开分成三个小点来阐述。第一点讲的是教育背景和资质方面，要求不能泛泛地写个学位或职位名称，要有具体的描述。第二点讲的是简历的格式，一般有顺时和逆时两种

9、，多数用的是逆时写法。第三点讲的是简历中要注意英语的变体，要知道收件人用的是用英式英语还是美式英语，或者其他的英语变体。【重点词汇】1.soar: （vi.）剧增，上升，The number of the people who traveled by air soared to millions.2.submit: （vt.）呈递，I have submitted the motion to the House of Commons. （vi.）服从，屈从，I will submit to nobody.3.embrace: （vt.）包含，An encyclopedia embraces a

11、ome borders for talent”，即长期的人才匮乏使得公司去海外寻找人才。22.D 分析：本题可以用排除法来做。文章第二段中第一句话“Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons.”（个人寻找去海外工作的机会的原因多种多样），然后整个第二段列举了这些可能的原因，其中就包括了选项中的A（encourages creativity and initiative）、B（opportunity to learn a second language）

12、，C（want a position with more responsibility）这三个选项是并列选项，肯定不能同时选，所以排除掉。排除了A、B、C之后，再来看D选项，D选项意为求职者为了寻求自己或孩子的发展机遇，符合题意，A、B、C项都是为了自己的发展，第二段“expose their children to another culture”这句话则是为了孩子的发展，所以两方面都有涉及，因此是正确答案。23.A 分析：原文第三段提到“The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding thecorporate （公司

13、） culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to embrace two or more cultures in one document.”即最好的（写简历的）办法是适应各种文化，包括公司文化，国家文化，以及个人在做决策和雇佣的决定时所涉及的文化因素。而且还进一步说明，这种适应各种文化因素的挑战性在于要把两种或多种文化结合在一份简历里。由此，可以得出，这段想要强调的内容就是写简历要把文化因素考虑进去，即A选项。24

14、.C 分析：原文中提到要“Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.”即提供有关个人学习和相关经验的具体情况，与答案C相符。25.B 分析：原文最后一段提到“find out if therecipient （收件人） uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions.”即要搞清楚收件人是使用英式英语还是美式英语，因为英语有不同的变体。Ques
