1.细节理解题。由文中“Standard Qualifications(资格)”下的“English must be your native language.（英语必须是母语）”可知，应聘者母语首先要是英语。据此可排除选项B和D。由其中的“At least three years of experience in editing, writing, file production, or language teaching.（至少三年的编辑、写作、文件制作或者语言教学的经验）”可知，远程编辑还需要有一些相关经验。根据常识可知，在翻译公司工作不一定有编辑的经验，但是在报社工作肯定有编辑，写作、文档制作之类的经验。故选C。
