二、七选五
[广东肇庆期末]Soft skills are your personal characteristics displayed when you interact with others. They could be personality, intellectual or emotional traits(特征). If you are unsure of what your soft skills are, ask a few close friends or family members to describe you using three adjectives. 1 You can find lots of free resources online. Clarifying your set of soft skills is critical to effective professional development.
Soft skills come naturally and are learned throughout your life. These are generally not job-specific. Hard skills, quite different from soft skills, are technical skills related to your job and industry and are usually learned through education and training. 2
Many employers may feel that soft skills are harder to teach, so they may give priority to job candidates with strong soft skills. 3
First, determine what soft skills you want to improve. 4 For example, you could volunteer to take on new projects at work or take some online courses related to the soft skill you want to acquire. These goals can be added to your professional development plan. Check in with yourself regularly to track and measure your progress.
5 Let him/her know which soft skills you are working on and ask him/her for suggestions on how to improve them in the workplace. It is also helpful to work with a mentor or a career coach to help you improve your soft skills. They can provide you with constructive feedback, ideas and support.

A.Then, set reasonable goals for improvement.
B.Teamwork is one of the most important soft skills.
C.They can be demonstrated by a certification or a degree.
D.You can also speak with your manager and ask for feedback.
E.Though hard, it is possible to acquire or improve your soft skills.
F.Figure out what you can offer to your employer and your industry.
G. Additionally, taking a personality assessment can help clarify your soft skills.

答案： 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了软技能的定义、重要性、特点以及如何获取和提升个人的软技能。
1.G 空处前一句提到如果你不确定自己的软技能是什么,可以让亲近的人用三个形容词描述你;空处后一句说你可以在网上找到很多免费的资源。由此可推知,空处所填句应说明免费的在线资源对应的用途是什么,且其应与关键词“软技能”相关。G项意为“此外,进行个性评估也有助于明确你的软技能”,是对前一句的递进,且后一句是对G项的补充说明。
2.C 空处前三句将软技能和硬技能进行对比。空处前一句介绍了什么是硬技能,可推知空处所填句应继续对硬技能进行补充介绍。C项意为“它们可以通过证书或学位来证明”,补充说明了硬技能的认证方式,与上文衔接顺畅,适合置于此处。C项中的They指代空处前一句中的Hard skills。
3.E 空处前一句提到雇主可能更倾向于录用有很强的软技能的求职者,指出了软技能的重要性。再根据下一段已知内容可知,下一段介绍了如何提升软技能,因此空处应填一个承上启下句。E项意为“虽然不易,但获得或提升软技能是可能的”,可以承接上文,指出用提升软技能的方法来应对雇主的录用倾向,且能引出下一段对如何提升软技能的介绍,符合此处语境。
4.A 空处前一句提到首先要确定你想要提升哪些软技能,这是“第一点”,自然推出空处所填句应介绍“下一步”。A项意为“然后,设定合理的提升目标”,给出了提升软技能的下一个具体步骤,符合逻辑顺序,适合置于此处。本段倒数第二句中的These goals是提示。
5.D 空处后一句提到和某些人沟通,向他们征求在职场中提高软技能的建议。D项意为“你也可以和你的经理谈谈,寻求反馈”,能引出下文对沟通的具体说明,适合置于此处。
