2021銀行校園招聘考試：英語單選題（13）
Interest in pursuing international careers has soared in recent years,enhanced by chronic (長久的) personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.
Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.
When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one-or two-page document describing one ' s educational qualifications and professional
experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the corporate (公司) 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.The following list is a good place to start.
● "Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of 'cross-border' job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience."
● Pay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your 'oldest' work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format."
● If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the recipient (收件人) uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as 'tertiary education' in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume contains errors.

東吳教育參考答案解析
1.【答案】D。解析：細節題。文章第一段中原文"enhanced by chronic (長久的) personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent"，即長期的人才匱乏使得公司去海外尋找人才。
2.【答案】D。解析：細節題。文章第二段中第一句話"Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons."（個人尋找去海外工作的機會的原因多種多樣），然后整個第二段列舉了這些可能的原因。A、B、C 項都是為了自己的發展，第二段"expose their children to another culture"這句話則是為了孩子的發展，所以 D 是正確答案。
3.【答案】A。解析：細節題。原文第三段提到"The best advice is to find out whatis appropriate regarding the corporate (公司) 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（寫簡歷的）辦法是適應各種文化，包括公司文化，國家文化，以及做出雇傭決定的那個人的文化喜好。而且還進一步說明，這種適應各種文化因素的挑戰性在于要把兩種或多種文化結合在一份簡歷里。由此，可以得出，這段想要強調的內容就是寫簡歷要把文化因素考慮進去，即 A 選項。
4.【答案】C。解析：細節題。原文中提到要"Provide the reader with details aboutyour studies and any related experience."即提供有關個人學習和相關經驗的具體情況，與答案 C 相符。
5.【答案】B。解析：細節題。原文最后一段提到"find out if the recipient (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語還是美式英語，因為英式和美式有一些不同。所以，申請者應該關注英語不同變體之間的差別。故選 B。
