You may be asked things about “What are your strengths?” or10.

【答案及解析】
1.【答案】notice改为noticed
【解析】本题考查语法规则。由句子结构可知，“notice”在句中不作谓语，所以应该使用动词的非谓语形式。句子要表达的意思是“怎样使自己受到关注”，可见“关注”与“you”之间为被动关系，应把“notice”改为“noticed”,使用动词的过去分词。
2.【答案】去掉them
【解析】本句考查语法规则。“you have been involved in”是定语从句，从句先行词为“activities”,关系词“which/that”被省略。根据定语从句的要求，指代“activities”的“them”应去掉。
3.【答案】type改为typing
【解析】本题同样考查语法规则。本句“such as”之后列举的是一些应该写入简历的内容，几项内容是并列关系，都应该用名词或名词性词组来表达，故应将动词“type”改为动名词“typing”。
4.【答案】where改为that
【解析】本题考查语法规则。句中包含的从句并非状语从句而是以“reference”为先行词的定语从句，故而不可使用“where”而应改为“that”。
5.【答案】to改为for
【解析】本题考查固定搭配。通过理解句意可知，推荐人应该是能为你的能力、经验及性格作担保的人。动词“vouch”意为“担保，证明”，“为……做担保或证明”应选择介词“for”而非“to”。
6.【答案】characters改为character
【解析】本题考查词汇用法。很明显“character”在句中的意思是“性格”，而本句中涉及的“your”为单数，故应把“characters”改为“character”。
7.【答案】not改为dont
【解析】本题考查语义理解及语法规则。前一句提到某些人适合做推荐人，本句表达的意思“为亲属不适合做推荐人”。由句意可以判断，本句完整形式应为“Relatives dont make good reference.”与前句重复的部分“make good reference”被省略了，故“not”应改为“dont”。
8.【答案】or改为and
【解析】本题考查语义逻辑。在请人为自己做保时必须同时满足两个条件，即推荐人应知道你使用他们的名义；确保他们会给你好的评价。这两点应为并列关系而非选择关系，故应将“or”改为“and”。
9.【答案】other改为others
【解析】本题考查词汇用法及指代关系。上句提到，一些问题是比较简单的，本句意为其它问题需要考虑。此处应用“others”来指“other questions”，因为“other”单独不能表示其它人或物。
10.【答案】about改为like
【解析】本题考查词汇用法及语义逻辑。“about”意为“关于”，即其后应出现某事的主题或纲要等内容，而本句中出现的是完整的问题，故不能使用“about”,应改为“like”,表示列举。
