《The scientific approach to recruitment》，招人的科學(xué)方法。這篇完型比較簡單。完型填空也有兩種題型，兩種解題思路。一種是從意思上理解然后做出選擇，一種是根據(jù)單詞的用法。前者比較容易，后者很考驗(yàn)語言功底。
21題，理解上下文的意思。前面說招人時的決定一般是在五分鐘以內(nèi)做出的。但是雇主們試圖使自己詳細(xì)相信他們在挑選過程中是經(jīng)過了深思熟慮的。Convince oneself，使確信。其他的詞沒有這個用法。
22題，員工的質(zhì)量對公司的成功是至關(guān)重要的。選quality。
23題，招人者試圖利用一切方法來抓住這個領(lǐng)域最好的（人才），secure the best，抓住最好的。realise是實(shí)現(xiàn)，attain是獲得，后面不能接人，achieve是實(shí)現(xiàn)一個目標(biāo)。
24題，rise in popularity，固定搭配，popularity是知名度的'意思，這個詞組應(yīng)該可以翻譯成聲名鵲起。
25題，provides with,提供。給組織提供另外一種方法。offer的用法是offer sb sth，contribute在這里意思不對。
26題，是公司能夠增加價值，enable
27題，這題的意思很明顯，測試（testing）作為招聘過程的一個組成部分，要區(qū)分選項(xiàng)的幾個單詞，尤其是portion和component，看英英解釋。
Component：one of several parts that together make up a whole machine, system etc
Portion：a part of something larger, especially a part that is different from the other parts
這里強(qiáng)調(diào)testing是一個組成部分，沒有說明特殊的地方，選component。
28題，對每個人未來的可能表現(xiàn)沒有一個真正的衡量。選measure。
29題，fill a position，填補(bǔ)空位，fill在這里的意思是to perform a particular job, activity, or purpose in an organization, or to find someone or something to do this。不能選occupy，因?yàn)閛ccupy更強(qiáng)調(diào)人的一種主動，而這里只是客觀說某個需要填補(bǔ)的職位。
30題，in the business of，也是一種固定的說法，在什么的過程中。很多場合都可以使用。可以多看幾個例句：
We’re in the business of stimulating the economy（By Obama）
Energetics is a specialist management consultancy in the business of climate change
