Read the article below about the changing role of

human resources departments.

The best person for the job

Employees can make a business succeed or fail, so

the people who choose them have a vital role to play.

Employees are a pany's new ideas, its public face

and its main asset. Hiring the right people is

therefore a significant factor in a pany's success.(0)

G If the human resources department makes mistakes

with hiring, keeping and dismissing staff, a business

can disappear overnight. Many panies now realise that

recruiting the best recruiters is the key to success.

Sarah Choi, Head of HR at Enco pic, believes that

thinking mercially is a key quality in HR. Every

decision an HR manager makes needs to be relevant to

advancing the business. (8) ...C.....That's no longer

the case. HR managers have to think more strategically

these days. They continually need to think about the

impact of their decisions on the bottom line.

(9).....F... For exle,a chief executive will expect

the HR department to advise on everything from the

headcount to whether to proceed with an acquisition.

Why do people go into HR in the first place? Choi

has a ready answer. I think most people in the

profession are attracted by a long-term

goal.(10)....D......Nothing happens in the pany which

isn't affected by or doesn't impact on its employees,

so the HR department is a crucial part of any business.

Not all operational managers agree. An informal

survey of attitudes to HR departments that was carried

out last year by a leading business journal received

ments such as “What do they actually

contribute?”(11).....A..... As Choi points out,

salaries have never been higher and, in addition, HR

managers often receive substantial annual bonuses.

Despite the financial rewards, HR managers often

feel undervalued, and this is a major reason for many

leaving their jobs.(12)...E......However, a lack of

training and development is a more significant factor.

These days, good professional development

opportunities are considered an essential part of an

attractive package,Choi explains.

A But rising levels of remuneration demonstrate

that the profession's growing importance is widely

recognised.

B At one time, a professional qualification was

required in order to progress to the top of HR.

C Other departments and senior executives used to

see HR managers as having a purely administrative role.

D Since it's one of the few areas where you can

see the whole operation, it can lead to an influential

role on the board.

E Being seen as someone who just ticks off other

people's leave and sick days does not help build a

sense of loyalty.

F They therefore need to be petent in many aspects

of a pany's operations.

G On the other hand, recruiting the wrong staff

can lead to disaster.

翻译解析

这篇文章的标题有些misleading，“The best people

for the job”，还以为是招人的标准。其实这篇文章是关于

Human resource的，所以还是要适当关注文章前的说明：the

article below about the changing role of human

resources departments.第八题，空格后面的“That's no

longer the case”是很重要的.提示。由于空格前面一直在强

调mercial和business，所以在空缺的地方应该是和另一个

方面相关的内容。选项C的administrative role正好满足这

个要求。前后文意思搭配在一起完全吻合。第九题，后面的

for exle的很关键，是对前面的补充说明。“For exle,a

chief executive will expect the HR department to

advise on everything from the headcount to whether to

proceed with an acquisition.”总裁希望人力资经理对一切

事情提出建议，从人数统计到是否进展收买。这种要求就需要

人力资经理具备很多才能。所以F的句子填在这里最适宜。第

十题，答案略微不那么明显，不过D句中的an influential

role可以和第十题的空格后的a crucial part相对应，算是

答案信号。要从整体上把握第三段，这里认为HR manager 的

影响是全局的、长期的，所以D句的“see the whole

operation”符合情况。第十一题，理解前后文的意思，前面

第 4 页 共 5 页

说过去的operational managers不那么认可HR manager的作

用，后面指出HR managers挣得多，所以中间是转折的意思。

A句的But是个信号，“上涨的薪酬程度意味着这个职位逐渐

增加的重要性得到了广泛的认可。”意思和前后都吻合，所以

是正确答案。第十二题，空格前说HR managers觉得自己的作

用被低估了，所以leaving。空格后一个However，所以空格

处应该还是和leaving有关的，为什么离任。E句的意思是

“被视作仅仅对别人的分开和生病的日子划勾的人是没法帮助

建立忠诚感的。”填入此处正好。
