Question

根据短文内容，从短文后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

What should you think about in trying to find your career（职业）? You are probably better at some school subjects than others.   1.    A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.   2.      So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. 3.   Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.

4. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.

Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.   5.   Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

A. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist.

B. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.

C. He may do well in his future work.

D. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.

E. Your school must have taught you the skills.

F. These may show strengths (优势) that you can use in your work.

G. If you have had a part-time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it.

2.B

3.D

4.G

5.A

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述的在找到适合职业的过程中需要考虑的内容。

1.对上下文的理解判断能力。根据前一句You are probably better at some school subjects than others.（你可能更擅长一些科目。），故这里用These may show strengths（优势） that you can use in your work.（这些可能显示你在工作中使用的优势。）故F项承接上文。

2. 考查对上下文的理解判断能力。根据上句A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.（一个擅长数学的男孩子可以在工程类的职业中使用数学知识。），故B项A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.（一个拼写很好喜欢英语的女孩子可能擅长文书工作）与上句是并列举的例子，符合语境。故选B。

3.对上下文的理解判断能力。根据后一句Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.（历史知识对于大部分的工作不是必须的，但是如果历史是你的擅长学科之一，那么你可能学会了记住事实和细节。这是一种能用在很多工作中的能力），故D项Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.（尽管并非所有学科能被直接使用在工作中，它们可能有间接的价值。）引起下文。

4. 考查对上下文的理解判断能力。这里缺少的是这一段的第一句，根据后文所说的内容是和兼职工作有关，故G项If you have had a part-time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it.（如果你在周六或者夏天有一份兼职工作的话，思考一下你从中学到了什么。）概括本段内容。

5.对上下文的理解判断能力。空前句意：面对你的弱点也是了解你自己的一部分。故这里选择A项It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist.（面对弱点比假装弱点不存在要好的多。）符合上下文语境，故选A。

考点：考查对文章内容和结构的整体理解和上下文逻辑关系的把握。

【名师点睛】

在答题中，应首先略读一下短文，了解一下短文的大致意思，然后把几个选项含义理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。然后再细读短文，把答案填入合适位置。答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置，反复阅读，反复体会，找出最佳选项，对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成。完成短文后，再认真通读一遍全文，看看上下语意是否通顺，是否符合逻辑关系。比如：这篇文章的第17小题， 根据上句A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.一个擅长数学的男孩子可以在工程类的职业中使用数学知识。所以这里B（A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.一个拼写很好喜欢英语的女孩子可能擅长文书工作）与上句是并列举的例子，符合语境。故选B。

另外，做题时要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句，因为它们往往就是文章的主题句。阅读中要注意要点之间的关系。比如：文章第19小题,这里缺少的是这一段的第一句，根据后文所说的内容是和兼职工作有关，兼职工作中看到学到的。故这里G（ If you have had a part-time job on Saturday or in the summer, think what you gained from it.如果你在周六或者夏天有一份兼职工作的话，思考一下你从中学到了什么。）符合上下文。
