【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章是关于《中国日报》向社会公开招聘4个岗位上的员工的招聘启事，其中包含对员工的要求福利等信息。

1．推理判断题。纵观全文,尤其是文章的第一段可以看出,这是一则广告,其目的就是向社会公开招聘English-language senior business editors,senior copy editors,copy editors and graphic designers 4个岗位上的员工。由此可以判断,答案是B项。

2．细节理解题。由Graphic Designer的招聘要求可以看出：Writing snappy headlines and captions并非Graphic Designer所要求具备的。B

3．细节理解题。前三个职位的叙述中都提到了对“editing experience”的要求,只有最后一个岗位没有这方面的要求,故C项为正确答案。C

4．标题判断题。文章第一段已点明了文章的主旨与目的,就是要招聘人员,所以A项所说的“中国日报社招聘员工”最能概括全文的大意,故可排除其他三项。

5．细节理解题。由第一段的叙述可以看出,员工可以“享受11天的公共假期”。其他三项都不符合原文的叙述。故C为正确答案。
