Question

【題目】 You may feel pressured to plan out your whole life before you start applying to colleges. 【1】Though some people have well-focused career goals early in life, others don't — and they still find their way to the right job.

The world changes.

Webmasters didn't exist a generation ago. The world changes so fast that new careers appear all the time, while others become less common. 【2】

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。本文介紹了在上大學(xué)之前要考慮職業(yè)規(guī)劃，保持靈活性是你的正確選擇，并從四個方面給出了職業(yè)規(guī)劃的建議。

【1】根據(jù)前句You may feel pressured to plan out your whole life before you start applying to colleges.可知，在你開始申請大學(xué)之前，你可能會感到有壓力去計劃你的一生。由此可知，本句為承接上文，繼續(xù)說明“計劃一生”的壓力是大多數(shù)人都經(jīng)歷過的。故C選項“但大多數(shù)人都經(jīng)歷過這種壓力”符合上下文語境，故選C。

【2】根據(jù)前句The world changes so fast that new careers appear all the time, while others become less common.可知，世界變化如此之快，新職業(yè)層出不窮，而其他職業(yè)卻越來越少。由此可知，因為世界變化快速，所以必須注意自己在職業(yè)上的發(fā)展。故G選項“注意你興趣上的變化和職業(yè)上的發(fā)展”符合上下文語境，故選G。

【3】根據(jù)后文Even jobs sounding ideal will probably involve some things you dislike.可知，即使是聽起來很理想的工作也會涉及到一些你不喜歡的事情。由此可知，你的技能和興趣與工作并不一定是完美搭配的。故B選項“不會有一個完美的搭配”符合上下文語境，故選B。

【4】根據(jù)后句That's because as important as planning and research are, chance still plays a role. Keep an open mind, learn to tolerate some degree of uncertainly and watch for opportunity.(這是因為，與規(guī)劃和研究同樣重要的是，機(jī)遇仍然發(fā)揮著作用。保持開放的心態(tài)，學(xué)會容忍某種程度的不確定性，注意機(jī)會)結(jié)合本段標(biāo)題You can only plan so far ahead.(你只能提前計劃)可知，本句為說明你對你想做的事情的感覺可能不明了。故選D。

【5】此處為下一段的標(biāo)題，結(jié)合該段內(nèi)容Many people feel pulled to a job that's familiar, popular or profitable. In the long run, however, people are generally happier and more successful if they choose a career that matches their interests and strengths. Take the time to develop your interests and then look for a career that will satisfy and fulfill you.可知，許多人覺得自己被一份熟悉的、受歡迎的或有利可圖的工作所吸引。然而，從長遠(yuǎn)來看，如果人們選擇的職業(yè)符合他們的興趣和優(yōu)勢，他們通常會更快樂，更成功�；�點時間發(fā)展你的興趣，然后找一份讓你滿意的工作。由此可知，本段強調(diào)的是自我滿意度的關(guān)鍵性。故A選項“滿意度是關(guān)鍵”符合上下文語境，故選A。
