解析:

51.position在這句話的意思是“職務”、“職位”。當她畢業(yè)后，她把眼光放在了取得教師這一職務上。而A.表示“職業(yè)”(多指高文憑，受過培訓)；C為“事業(yè)”；D也為“職業(yè)”，但此處表示“教師”這一職務，而非“職業(yè)”。答案為B。

52.recall的意思是“回憶”。她回憶說，指“回憶當時情景”，而A表示“重復”；B表示“提醒”；D表示“回答”。答案為C。 

53.it指代的是上文提到的她想換襪子，但感覺太晚了這件事。答案為C。

54.look one's best的意思是“更好地留意”。她因為沒有更加留意自己而感到懊惱。而A表示“看著”；B表示“看著他”；C表示“懷疑”，都與上下文不符。答案為D。 

55.從上文可知，她要會見的是小學的校長。即the Head。答案為A。

56.image在這句話的意思是“形象”。校長認為，如果一個人在求職時不展現(xiàn)自己最好的形象，她將會成為一個什么樣的教師呢?而A表示“數(shù)字”；C表示“方面”；D表示“形狀”；D表示“堅持”。答案為B。 

57.從上文可知，她會見校長的目的是成為一名教師。答案為D。

58.lasting的意思是“持久的”。最初的形象是持久的印象。而D表示“堅持”；B表示“ 余下的”；C表示“正在繼續(xù)”。答案為A。 

59.probably“可能”句意是：如果你在關鍵的最初四分鐘給會見者留下積極的印象，他就有可能認為你做任何事都是積極的。而A表示“稀少地”；B表示“偶然地”；D表示“肯定”。答案為C。 

60.一旦留下壞印象，很可能雇主就不會再給你提供第二次機會。B、D不合題意，A還未找到第一份工作。答案為C。
