问题     Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completed a university degree could find a good career quite easily. Companies toured the academic institutions, competing with each other to select graduates. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.
    Most careers organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of securing a suitable career: recognizing abilities, matching these to available jobs and presenting them well to possible employers.
    Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thought.
    The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. To do this, graduates can study job and position information in newspapers, or they can visit a careers office, write to possible employers for information or contact friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.
    Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career. Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors. Where additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, with examples if possible. They should try to balance their own abilities with the employer’s needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities.
    When graduates go to an interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.
选项 A、finding a good career used to be easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere
B、now everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good job
C、graduates now face stronger competition in Hong Kong than elsewhere
D、even in Hong Kong companies tour universities trying to select graduates
答案A
解析 细节推断题。答案在第一段。文章首先介绍了不久前大学生就业的状况，当时的大学毕业生找工作非常容易，而且用人单位都是争相到各个院校选聘毕业生。紧接着一个转折(however)，指出那些日子已经成为过去，现在的情形已经发生变化了，甚至(even)是在香港。这里必须注意even一词，它表示以前的情形，即大学生就业容易的现象，在香港表现尤其突出。故答案为A。B选项是说就业机会均等，与文章内容不符；C选项是说现在香港的大学毕业生比其他地方的毕业生要面临更激烈的竞争，文章只是说各地的大学毕业生都面临着比以前更加激烈的竞争，不能推出某个地方的竞争更加激烈；而D选项中“各个公司到各大学去挑选毕业生”是以前在香港比较突出的现象。
