答案及解析
关于加薪的文章,教你怎么样实现加薪。
这道题目不难,但是抛开题目,单说文章里谈的加薪的方法,各位还是要辩证的看。
要想人生份工作就找到自己满意的,是挺难,可是以加薪为目的跳槽,也未必是什么明智的好办法。
考生如果怕自己错过考试报名时间和考试时间的话,可以免费预约短信提醒,届时会以短信的方式提醒大家报名和考试时间。
31题,太明显的定语从句,前面是someone,那么当然填入表示人的关系代词who。
32题,inlinewith,和什么一致,固定搭配,在中级的选词版完型里常考到这个词组。
这句的意思是,找个一个愿意给你提供和你才能更加一致的薪水的人。
33题,fromtimetotime,时不时的。
changingemployersfromtimetotime,时不时的换老板。
34题,Irrespectiveof,同regardlessof一样,后面接让步状语从句,不管我们对可能的雇主研究的多么好,新的工作都是一个未知数。
用howwell。
35题,turnouttobe,固定用法。
36题,换工作,要么是个好的举措,要么将成为灾难。
而我们大多数人这两种经历都有。
有这种经历,是过去完成时,用have+done。
37题,理解前后文意思。
换老板不是件我们经常愿意做的事情,并且也不是一想要加薪就要换老板。
用everytime,表示每次要加薪就准备换老板。
38题,这题有点难度,考验人的语法功底。
首先这个句子是虚拟语气,We’d是wewould的缩写,而不是wehad。
是表示对将来的假设,我们要承担更多的风险。
所以用wouldbe。
39题,比较明显的,viewas,将什么视作什么。
40题,和circumstance相关的词组,很容易想到under/onsomecircumstance,在某种情况下。
