17、ng in an emotional way16题，这题貌似只能采取排除法。因为几个选项和原文的对应都不是太明显。问为什么很多人在一开始要对一个建议说不。答案是第二段的最后一句：Top management may well reject the idea initially becauseit is the safer option but they would not be there if they were not interested.。最高管理层在一开始可能会拒绝这个建议，因为这样是一个更安全的选择。但是如果他们真的不感兴趣的话，他们就不会在那里(谈判)了。A在这段文字中没有提到，

18、B不对，他们肯定是感兴趣的，C也不对没有提到，原文说的是safer option。选D，之所以会拒绝，因为从维护公司利益的角度，这样是一个safer option。17题，答案也很明显：Dr Cohen says that one of his strategies is to dress down so that the otherside can relate to you.这里的两个词组可以解释下：dress down: to wear clothes that are more informal than the ones you would usually wearrelate to

19、 :to feel that you understand someones problem, situation etc所以这个句子意思是穿的不那么正式，这样可以让另一方接近你。也就是A说的是你的风格适应你的谈判对象。C不对，不是make you feel fortable，而是make others feel fortable。D也不对，可能会误选，不是让别人喜欢你，like太夸张了，只是容易接近。18题，答案在第四段的第一句话：Dr Cohen suggests that the best way to sell your proposal is bygetting into the w

20、orld of the other side.。走进另一方的世界，就是原文说的understanding the otherperson，目的是为了sell your proposal，也就是让对方接受你的建议，选D。19题，谈判失败的原因，答案是第五段的这么一句：More mon is a corporate culture clashbetween panies, which can put paid to any deal。公司文化冲突导致的。文化冲突，就是两个公司在运作、理念等等上的不一致，选C：两个公司以不同的方式运作。20题，为什么要借鉴小孩子的办法，原文最后一段提到小孩子的办法就

28、。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

29、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，enable27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ponent，看英英解释。ponent：one of several parts that together make up a whole machine, system etcPortion：a part of something larger, especially a par

30、t 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ponent。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 purposein 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：Were in the business of stimulating the economy(By Obama)
