【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文，讲述了在面试中保持放松的心态的重要性并提出了几个具体的保持放松状态的建议。

【1】A 根据横线前一句two things are likely to happen. 可知会有两件事情发生。再根据横线后一句Second, your nervousness is .....；说明横线上叙述的是第一点，而且是以first开始的句子。故A项“First, the interviewer is likely to be impressed by your listening skills”正确。

【2】E 本段的主题是Prepare in advance.提前准备；也就是说要对面试官可能提问的问题要有充分准备。所以E项“During an interview, expect to be asked a ton of questions在面试中，预料被问很多问题”与横线后一句“One of the best ways to help yourself relax during the interview is to be ready for these questions”相一致。

【3】G 根据横线后一句create a list of questions that you expect to be asked, and consider your answers. Ask friends or family to help you by asking questions they think you might. encounter and give feedback on your responses. 列出可能会被询问的问题清单，思考答案，请朋友或家人事先演练。这些都是在正式面试之前要做的事情。故G项正确。

【4】C 根据横线前一句In addition, researching the company, the specific position and the industry in general enables you to be a more knowledgeable applicant.可知在面试之前要对公司、职位以及这一行业先进行研究，这会让你成为一个对自己所追求职位更了解的候选人。有了这些准备，你在面试中也会很放松，因为你不太可能被对方的问题难住。故C项“This also helps you to relax”正确。

【5】F 根据横线前一句Overcoming your nervousness is not difficult if you know how to relax. 如果你知道如何放松，那么克服紧情绪并不难。如果你知道如何放松，那么你就可能成为你所期待的面试者。就更可能获得成功。F项“By being aware of how to relax”恰好是顺着前句末if you know how to relax. 而来。
