这也是一道难题。能否做对此题，关键在于是否注意到“视角混淆”这一陷阱。问题的意思是“search agents的不足之处”，这是二段和三段的内容。三段开始指出：For any job search, you should start...，但是 “None of these programs do that”，原因是 “There’s no career counseling implicit in all of this”(但是所有项目中都不包含职业咨询)。A“缺乏咨询”符合此意，为正确答案。C选项和D选项没有明确作为search agents的不足之处提出，是干扰选项。B选项的内容与原文不符，因为二段末指出增加求职标准就减少了可能性，这不等于说访问次数受限，因为是否访问取决于访问者本人。当然，减少了可能性也不等于求职意向与职位的成功匹配减少，因为可能出现这种情况：增加求职标准使得成功匹配的可能性更大或与不增加时持平。简而言之，如果根据问题中的视角“search agents”直接寻找答案就容易得多，因为只有A是原文明确提到的search agents的缺点，而其他几个选项都是从求职者的角度而言的。

　　例三，

　　Anyway, the townsfolk can’t understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy. (The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 percent occupied all year long and this year they’ll do better.) The reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.

　　According to the townsfolk, the RSC deserves no subsidy because

　　[A] ticket prices can be raised to cover the spending.

　　[B] the company is financially ill-managed.

　　[C] the behavior of the actors is not socially acceptable.

　　[D] the theatre attendance is on the rise.

　　这道题也涉及视角混淆问题，正确答案是D。不少考生选A，原因可能是对问题所要求的视角(小镇居民的视角)判断不准。
