My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn‘t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had
been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I‘d be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I‘d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges — those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.
The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after about half an hour‘s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.
I can remember the questions now: ―Why did you leave your last job?‖ ―Why did you leave your job before that?‖ ―And the one before that?‖ I can‘t recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed (揭示) a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain
why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. “You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.”
Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs — being a postman is another one I still desire — demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.
65.The writer applied for the job chiefly because _________.【廣東省2010屆三校期末聯(lián)考】【細節(jié)推理】
A.he wanted to work in the centre of London
B.he could no longer afford to live without one
C.he was not interested in any other available job
D.he had received some suitable training
66.The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because _________.【廣東省2010屆三校期末聯(lián)考】【細節(jié)推理】
A.he often traveled underground B.he had written many poems
C.he could deal with difficult situations D.he had worked in a company
67.What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then? 【廣東省2010屆三校期末聯(lián)考】【細節(jié)推理】
A.How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be. B.How difficult it is to be a poet.
C.How unsuitable he was for the job. D.How badly he did in the interview.
68.What’s the writer’s opinion of the psychologist? 【廣東省2010屆三校期末聯(lián)考】【細節(jié)推理】
A. He was very aggressive. B. He was unhappy with his job.
C. He was quite inefficient. D. He was rather unsympathetic.
65【答案】B。
【解析】考查學生對信息進行加工和處理的能力。第1段提到:Obviously I’d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges…, 此外,文章最后也提到:I was also short of cash. 故選B。 66【答案】C。
【解析】考查學生對信息進行加工和處理的能力。第1段提到:I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. “……在危急時刻能應付自如的人,做保安其素質當然綽綽有余了”,故選C。
67【答案】C。
【解析】考查推理能力。最后一段提到:Actually, such jobs … demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least
qualified to give. 這類工作需要有一種基本的責任意識,而慣于空想者沒有這種意識,故選C。
68【答案】D。
【解析】考查概括能力。第3段提到作者認為面試官的結束語(You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.)反映了他缺乏關愛、無動于衷(His closing statement, I thought, revealed (揭示) a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the
underground railway.)

Mr. Smith is well known in Washington because of his many social blunders. He always likes to attend the various social functions because he wants to expand his circle of friends. Whenever he is invited, he goes, unless he is ill.
Recently he received an invitation to a fashionable banquet. Although he did not know the hostess, he accepted the invitation. He was secretly very pleased, because he felt that his reputation as a desirable guest was growing.
When he arrived at the banquet hall, he found that about one hundred people had been invited. He began to move around the hall. He spoke to other guests whether he knew them or not. He soon realized that he had never met any of the other people present, although they seemed to know each other.
At dinner he was seated beside a very dignified woman. The woman tried to be friendly even though she had never met Mr. Smith before. She spoke politely whenever he spoke to her. Between the first and the second course of the meal, she, turned to Mr. Smith and said, ―Do you see that gray-haired man at the end of the table? The one with glasses.‖
“Ah, yes. Who is he?‖
“He‘s the Secretary of the Interior!‖ she replied.
Mr. Smith said, ―So that‘s the secretary of the Interior! I‘ m afraid that I find very little to admire about him, although he is the Secretary.‖
The woman stiffened and did not reply. Mr. Smith contin?ued in spite of her coldness. ―I really can‘t see how he re?ceived his appointment unless he is perhaps a relative of the President.‖
“It hardly matters whether you like the Secretary or not,‖ she said. ―He was chosen because the President thought he was the man for the job. If he does the job well, you should have no complaint.‖
“That‘s just it,‖ persisted Mr. Smith. ―No one does the things he does, unless he is a complete fool!‖
“Sir!‖ said the woman in all her dignity. ―Do you know who I am?‖ ―No,‖ replied Mr. Smith.
“I am the Secretary‘s wife,‖ she said coldly. Mr. Smith was shocked, but he went on in spite of his embarrassment. ―Madam, do you know who I am?‖
“No, I don‘t,‖ the woman replied.
“Thank goodness!‖ exclaimed Mr. Smith, as he quickly left the table.
