问题     There is a new type of small advertisements becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is a place among "situations vacant", although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among situations wanted, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.
    "Contact us before writing your application", or "Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae (个人简历) or job history", is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae, with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right. There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. "Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams", was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first job when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, and everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.
    Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. "Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for", was a widely-used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job in view.
    There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae. [br] The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper columns______.
选项 A、informs job hunters of the opportunities available
B、promises useful advice to those looking for employment
C、divides available jobs into various types
D、informs employers that people are available for work
答案 B
解析 本题是细节题。从第一段的最后一句“What it does is to offer help in applying for a job．”可知，新型广告不能给人提供工作，而是在找工作方面给人们提供帮助。因此B项正确。
