COMMENT
这是关于工作岗位招聘的4篇广告短文。每篇短文都说明了工作的职位、职责范围、工作要求等等。
1. C篇短文中的第一句“your work will include managing the office IT network”表明这项工作包括管理计算机网络，这与句子1“You will be responsible for the operation of a computer system”（你将负责计算机系统的运转与经营）是同义转述关系，所以句子1 应该和C篇搭配短文。
2. 句子2 的意思是：你必须能够预测人们将会穿什么样的衣服。在B篇短文中，第二句“You will need to predict fashion trends” 表达了与句子2相近的意思：你需要预知流行趋势。
3. 句子3的意思是：你必须能和来自于许多不同国家和不同背景的人一起工作。在A篇短文中有四个细节都与之相互照应。第一，“global business”（全球经营）意味着和不同国家和背景得人打交道；第二，“specific countries”（特殊的国家），“特殊”则意味着“不同”，不同的国家，背景自然不同；第三，“international distribution”的意思是“国际性销售”，既然是国际性销售，就必然是很多不同的国家；第四，“the ability to work in markets that are highly varied in their culture”表明这项工作要求有“在有着各种各样的文化背景的市场里工作都能力”。以上的四点均与句子3 的意思相照应，所以我们可以十分肯定句子3 应该与A篇短文搭配。
4. B篇短文中最后一句“hold a degree in design with a business studies component”表明工作要求有设计和商业经营方面的学位。而句子4“You will have a qualification which covers two subject areas”表达的意思正是要求有两方面的资格证书，所以两者是“异曲同工”。
5. 句子5的搭配是比较困难的。“It is necessary to have worked in this sector before”的意思是：以前在这个部门工作过是必要的。它强调的是要有这方面的工作经验。然而在A、B、D三篇短文中都出现了“experience”。然而，根据我们的解题技巧，B篇短文已经被选择两次，我们不再考虑。另外我们注意到D篇短文中“Your experience could be from any business sector”（你的经验可以来自任何商业经营部门）与句子5的意思有差别：句子5 强调的是“this sector”，而D篇短文强调的是“any business sector”，所以我们可以排除D。我们再看A篇短文来验证一下，“based on previous experience”表达的正是句子5的意思，答案就顺理成章地确定下来了。
6. 句子6的意思是：你需要与公司的总部保持联系。在D篇短文中，。“You will communicate frequently with our main office using the latest technology”表达了相同的意思。其中，“communicate”（沟通、交流）是“keep in contact with”（与……保持联络）的同义转述，“main office”（总公司）是“the headquarters”（总部）的同义转述。
7. 句子7的意思是：广告强调接近有地位的重要人物方法的重要性。在C篇短文中，“You will be dealing with senior executives and government officials”的意思是：你将和高级经理主管以及政府官员打交道。两者表达的意思相近。从细节上来看，“dealing with”是与“approach to”的近似表述，“senior executives and government officials”也正是“important people“的详细举例说明。
