Thats why university rankings play such a vital role in students searching for their next academic direction. Rankings are also an inescapable part of the reputation and brand image of universities. “No university website is plete without the claim to be in the top 100 for something or other,” reported the BBC. The reason is simple: Rankings help them to attract students, staff and research investment.Currently there are numbers of university rankings, and each has its own list of criteria. But the main categories are the same: academic reputation, graduates performance and faculty resources.However, experts point out the ranking process isnt entirely reliable. Mark Kantrowitz, a US financial aid researcher, said university rankings were mostly just for show. He wrote in The New York Times. “It may give your parents better bragging rights, but thats about it.”Moreover, its not difficult to see the limitations of university rankings. Many rankings focus on the number of times research work is cited (引用) by other researchers. It helps British and US universities to dominate global rankings because English is the favored language of academia, John OLeary, a member of the QS academic advisory board, told The Gunrdian. Also, rankings such as QS mainly focus on the qualities of the university rather than its students. “Any university ranking is likely to help students make better decisions about where to study, but the need to balance them with other more human factors is also important,” said Phil Moss, an education and admissions consultant. “Advice from graduates or current students can be as valuable in providing a genuine insight into the experience or quality of a particular degree program. It can also add an element that rankings can never convey - the actual emotion of a university experience.”【文章解读】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了大学排名的优势和不利因素，并给正在挑选大学的家长和学生们提出了有价值的建议。 32. Why do universities consider rankings important?A. Rankings make them more appealing.B. Rankings are students only reference.C. Rankings can increase their academic level. D.

Its nerve-wracking（摧残神经的） trying to show your “best” self to a perfect stranger. 36 Thats not easy. But there are some ways to pull yourself together and feel more confident.Prepare solid talking points. Its always best to over-prepare for possible questions by not only researching the pany and the person interviewing you, but also by preparing answers and practicing those responses. Review the skills and experiences requested in the job announcement and have two to three examples how you have demonstrated each one. 37 Remember: Its a two-way street. This is conversation, not an interrogation（审问）. 38 Remembering that this is a back and forth discussion, where you can and should ask questions as well as answer them, can help you feel more fortable.Just breathe. 39 Your body will relax lot. You want to avoid upper chest breathing, as it tends to just move you, stress upward to your face. 40 if you go into an interview picking apart your outfit or imperfect responses, youre only hurting your chances of ing off as calm and collected. Turn off your negative self-talk and then create a different self-talk message, like, “I am here to share the best of my ability and that is all I can really do.”Work it out. Putting in some gym time the morning of your interview can help you get rid of any nervous tension. Exercise helps calm your nervous system and tends to reduce the intensity of physical manifestations（表现形式）of stress such as restlessness. A. Stop the negative thoughts.B. Put your idea into practice.C. When faced with an interviewer, you may be nervous.D. Before you walk into your interview, take a few deep breaths.E. Youre trying to prove youre the one for the job and that you can handle stressful situations.F. Dont forget that youre not the only one being interviewed youre also interviewing the organization.G. This will strengthen your answers and allow you to show how your experience is relevant to the job or organization for which youre interviewing.【文章解读】本文是励志类短文。主要告诉我们如何紧张的面试中放松自己，取得理想的面试效果。36.【答案】E【目的】考查信息提取题。【解析】根据题干和E中的关键词：job interviewing，the one for the job，nerve-wracking（摧残神经的）和handle stressful situations等判断答案。故选E。37.【答案】G【目的】考查信息提取题。【解
