考研英语倒数13天：中国式陷阱

　　For any job search, you should start with a narrow conceptwhat you think you want to dothen broaden it. None of these programs do that, says another expert. Theres no career counseling implicit in all of this. Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me, says the author of a job-searching guide.

　　Which of the following can be a disadvantage of search agents?

　　Lack of counseling. Limited number of visits.

　　Lower efficiency. Fewer successful matches.

　　这也是一道难题。能否做对此题，关键在于是否注意到视角混淆这一陷阱。问题的意思是search agents的不足之处，这是二段和三段的内容。三段开始指出：For any job search, you should start...，但是 None of these programs do that，原因是 Theres no career counseling implicit in all of this。A缺乏咨询符合此意，为正确答案。C选项和D选项没有明确作为search agents的不足之处提出，是干扰选项。B选项的内容与原文不符，因为二段末指出增加求职标准就减少了可能性，这不等于说访问次数受限，因为是否访问取决于访问者本人。当然，减少了可能性也不等于求职意向与职位的成功匹配减少，因为可能出现这种情况：增加求职标准使得成功匹配的可能性更大或与不增加时持平。简而言之，如果根据问题中的视角search agents直接寻找答案就容易得多，因为只有A是原文明确提到的search agents的缺点，而其他几个选项都是从求职者的角度而言的。
