小題2:B．前面講到是一種職業(yè)的選擇，后面說(shuō)到現(xiàn)在一生中選擇幾種工作．可見與前面是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，選項(xiàng)B符合題意．

小題3:D。后文的partly是提示詞語(yǔ)。

小題4:C。這里their指的是那些多次做出工作選擇的人．

小題5:A．therefore因此。既然一個(gè)完美的工作并不存在，所以年輕人就必須接受廣泛而靈活的訓(xùn)練．

小題6:A。fit合適。在工作領(lǐng)域適合他們。

小題7:B。從上下文來(lái)看，空格所填的單詞與work連用應(yīng)該涵蓋a single job。

小題8:D。通過上下文可判斷所填的單詞應(yīng)是否定意義的，選項(xiàng)D符合題意。即他們的職業(yè)規(guī)劃沒有得到幫助．

小題9:A。因?yàn)閷?duì)職場(chǎng)和他們自身了解甚少，所以他們?cè)谶x擇自己的畢生事業(yè)時(shí)非常隨意．

小題10:C。此句的意思是"他們是毫無(wú)目的地尋找他們一生的工作"。on...basis,或on the basis of...意思是"基于……"。故C正確。

小題11:D。stick to意為“堅(jiān)持”，這里指一直從事相同的工作．

小題12:A。its代詞，代指職業(yè)的。選擇工作一個(gè)通常的錯(cuò)誤是它的真正的和想象的聲望。

小題13:C。ignore忽視。選擇一份工作通常的錯(cuò)誤是忽視了真正或想象的聲望。

小題14:B?？疾槊~。requirements意為。要求”，這里指對(duì)教育和自身素質(zhì)的要求．

小題15:D。no沒有。一份白領(lǐng)的工作是沒有好原因選擇一份終身工作。

小題16:B?？崭窈蟮木渥拥囊馑际?這些工作的工資也不總是很高"，顯然這是繼前面進(jìn)一步說(shuō)明職業(yè)性工作不一定就是最好的選擇。故D正確。Moreover意為"而且,此外"。

小題17:A。因?yàn)榇蟛糠值墓ぷ鞫技性跈C(jī)械和手工行業(yè)，所以大多散年輕人應(yīng)該仔細(xì)考慮一下這些領(lǐng)域．

小題18:D?？疾槊~。give consideration to sth意為?？紤]某事”。

小題19:B。該句的意思是"一個(gè)人應(yīng)該對(duì)生活的期望有個(gè)大致的想法"。out of意思是"從……中"。what he wants out of life意為"想從生活中得到什么"。

小題20:C。risk意為"冒險(xiǎn),風(fēng)險(xiǎn)"。由前一句的some和本句的others可知兩句在意義上是對(duì)應(yīng)的，既然前面是security"安全"，后面當(dāng)然就是risk。
