解析【小题1】C。occupation职业。上文讲到，大多数理想的职业都需要某种专门的培训，所以应该是先选择职业，然后再选择高中的学习课程。
【小题1】B．前面讲到是一种职业的选择，后面说到现在一生中选择几种工作．可见与前面是转折关系，选项B符合题意．
【小题1】D。后文的partly是提示词语。
【小题1】C。这里their指的是那些多次做出工作选择的人．
【小题1】A．therefore因此。既然一个完美的工作并不存在，所以年轻人就必须接受广泛而灵活的训练．
【小题1】A。fit合适。在工作领域适合他们。
【小题1】B。从上下文来看，空格所填的单词与work连用应该涵盖a single job。
【小题1】D。通过上下文可判断所填的单词应是否定意义的，选项D符合题意。即他们的职业规划没有得到帮助．
【小题1】A。 因为对职场和他们自身了解甚少，所以他们在选择自己的毕生事业时非常随意．
【小题1】C。此句的意思是"他们是毫无目的地寻找他们一生的工作"。on...basis, 或on the basis of...意思是"基于……"。故C正确。
【小题1】D。stick to意为“坚持”，这里指一直从事相同的工作．
【小题1】A。its代词，代指职业的。选择工作一个通常的错误是它的真正的和想象的声望。
【小题1】C。ignore忽视。选择一份工作通常的错误是忽视了真正或想象的声望。
【小题1】B。考查名词。requirements意为。要求”，这里指对教育和自身素质的要求．
【小题1】D。no没有。一份白领的工作是没有好原因选择一份终身工作。
【小题1】B。空格后的句子的意思是"这些工作的工资也不总是很高"，显然这是继前面进一步说明职业性工作不一定就是最好的选择。故D正确。Moreover意为"而且, 此外"。
【小题1】A。因为大部分的工作都集中在机械和手工行业，所以大多散年轻人应该仔细考虑一下这些领域．
【小题1】D。考查名词。give consideration to sth意为。考虑某事”。
【小题1】B。该句的意思是"一个人应该对生活的期望有个大致的想法"。out of意思是"从……中"。what he wants out of life意为"想从生活中得到什么"。
【小题1】C。risk意为"冒险, 风险"。由前一句的some 和本句的others 可知两句在意义上是对应的，既然前面是security"安全"，后面当然就是 risk。
