"if they cannot take of these (39) _______ , why should we trust them with a job?" Can we pay too much attention to detail? Absolutely not. Perfectionists struggle over little things at the (40) _______of something larger they work toward. "To keep from losing the forest for the trees", says Charles Garfield, associate professor at the University of California, San Francisco, "we must (41) _______ ask ourselves how the details we're working on fit into the larger picture.

答案解析：
36.【解析】tight。此處應(yīng)填一形容詞修飾job market。在就業(yè)形勢非常緊張的情況下，求職時注重細(xì)節(jié)才尤為重要，tight在這里意指"(形勢或局面)緊張的，嚴(yán)峻的"。
37.【解析】eliminate。根據(jù)后面的Once I see a mistake, I eliminate the candidate可知，此處應(yīng)為eliminate的原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。
38.【解析】bother。此處應(yīng)填一動詞，且能與后面的不定式搭配。bother to do sth.意為"費(fèi)力做某事"。
39.【解析】details。由短文開頭的Attention to detail可知，此處應(yīng)為detail的原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。空前的these決定detail須用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
40.【解析】cost。過分注重小的方面勢必會影響到大的目標(biāo)或方向。at the cost of為固定搭配，意為"以...為代價"。
41.【解析】constantly。此處需要一副詞修飾動詞ask。constantly意為"不斷地"。
42.【解析】compares。與this process相關(guān)的描述是If they don't (fit into the larger picture), we should drop them and move to something else；與his work as a computer scientist at NASA相關(guān)的描述是make adjustments as necessary。二者都強(qiáng)調(diào)大局為重，細(xì)節(jié)是可以調(diào)整的，具有相似性，故所填動詞很可能表示類比或比喻。compare A to B意為"把A比作B"，強(qiáng)調(diào)兩者之間的相似性。
43.【解析】course。宇宙飛行器(Apollo Ⅱ)偏離的應(yīng)是軌道。course有"軌道，航線"之意。
44.【答案】But a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact coordinates of our goal
