前面同等學(xué)力英語第一階段詞匯大家已經(jīng)有所掌握了，下面是中國在職研究生招生信息網(wǎng)的老師給大家提供的的第二階段的模擬試題，此階段主要加強(qiáng)考生們做閱讀理解的能力。

　　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 ones 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 bean 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.
