7.Like many students,Ryan believes that the time and money spent on his education will pay off:he will eventually be able to get a good job and do well in the field he has chosen.And yet,(51)C all of the years spent in school preparing to enter the workplace,many recent graduates say that they struggle with the(52)B from classroom to career world and have difficulty (53)C life on the job.Writer and editor Joseph Lewis suggests one reason why this is the case.Lewis believes that most of our school experiences-from childhood through university-are fairly (54)A,while life in the working world is far more uncertain.In school,(55)C,the pattern stays more or less the same from year to year.In the workplace,however,constant(56)A is the norm,and one has to adapt quickly.
Another problem that graduates entering the workforce encounter is that they are (57)B to think analytically.In school,many students including those in college,spend a lot of time memorizing facts and repeating what they"learned"on tests.But in the workplace employees"are often expected to think critically and make (58)C about their work,not just follow a supervisor's instructions."Less time needs to be spent in school on testing,says one recent report,and more on helping students to analyze and interpret information,solve problems,and communicate their ideas effectively-skills that will prepare them to succeed in today's workplace.
Finally,many recent graduates say that one of the biggest difficulties they face is adapting to (59)D on the job.In the workplace,employees must regularly (60)D with others and are often dependent on their co-workers for their success.In other words,if an employee has to work with others to complete a given project,that employee's (61)A not only depends on his hard work and expertise,but also on how well his colleagues perform.Knowing how to participate effectively in teamwork-and deal with problems when they arise-is extremely important,and yet,it is also something many students don't get quite(62)B to in a school setting.
How can we better prepare young adults for the workplace?Recent graduates,looking back on their educational experience,have some (63)B.Many think that all students should be required to do an internship (实习) while they are in school.Volunteering part time at a company,hospital,or government organization,for example,can help one gain experience and learn skills needed to succeed in the real world.(64)A this kind of practical work experience with classroom instruction,say the graduates,will help prepare students for the (65)D of the workplace and make the transition from school to career world less stressful.

解答 51-55 CBCAC 56-60 ABCDD 61-65 ABBAD
51.C.考查介词短语的词义辨析和语境理解.in spite of.前文的yet暗示此句的意义与第一句中许多学生或是Ryan之前的设想不同.尽管理想很丰满,但现实很骨感--最近的毕业生从学校生涯到走上职场常常屡屡碰壁.故选C.
52.B.考查动词的词义辨析和语境理解.可以与from…to…搭配的只有shift这个词,表示从教室到职业生涯的转换.故选B.
53.C.考查动词短语的词义辨析和语境理解.毕业生们不容易适应职场生涯,经常处处碰壁.A.turn to表示求助于,B.react to表示对…做出反应,D.see to表示处理,对付.adjust to.适应.故选C.
54.A.考查形容词的词义辨析和语境理解.后半句while暗示此空要填的词义与far more certain相反,故选择predictable可预见的.因为学生时代的经历相对可以预估,而职场充满更多变数,才会造成上文提到的现象.故选A.
55.C.考查介词短语的词义辨析和语境理解.作者紧接着举例说明前句提到的情况,比如(for example.),学校中的模式年复一年,变化不大.故选C.
56.A.考查名词的词义辨析和语境理解.此句中用however表示相对于学校,职场中模式世事变化,并且职场中人必须快速适应,才能很好地生存.两者比较,突出变化一词.故选A.
57.B.考查形容词的词义辨析和语境理解.作者接着指出毕业生--职场新人在加入劳动力大军后会面临的问题可能是尚未准备好分析看待事物.学校的学生花大量时间记忆事实或是重复考试中"学到的"东西;而职场中雇员要做的不是这些.故选B.
58.C.考查名词的词义辨析和语境理解.上句提到,职场人士要做的不仅仅是服从主管,更要批判性地思考,并对工作作出决策.此处考到了make decision的固定搭配,逻辑上也很通顺.A.predictions(做预测)和D.inquiries(提要求)都可以和make搭配,但句意不符.故选C.
59.D.考查名词的词义辨析和语境理解.几个选项中貌似C.competition竞争更合适.根据下文中提到的dependent(依赖,而不是独立),本段强调的恰恰是合作共融,所以应该选D.毕业生面临的最大问题是工作中的团队合作.
60.D.考查动词的词义辨析和语境理解.interact.接上句的句意,作者继续强调职场中的互动与合作,指出雇员并非独立个体,而是相互依赖才能取得成功.故选D.
61.A.考查名词的词义辨析和语境理解.上文中提到了成功,本句继续换种表达,重申上句提到的观点,指出雇员的成功不仅取决于自身的努力和专长,而且在于同事们的表现.故选A.
62.B.考查动词的词义辨析和语境理解.知道如何高效进行团队合作,并且在问题产生时解决问题在职场中很重要,但许多学生在学校设定中很少有机会接受类似的训练.Be exposed to被暴露于,后常常跟不太好的情况.故选B.
63.B.考查名词的词义辨析和语境理解.前几段,作者赤裸裸地指出了作为职场新人的毕业生们在初涉职场中可能遇到的问题,最后一段,作者给出一些"过来人"的建议.这是提出问题--分析问题--解决问题的经典三段论写法.同学们在平时作文中也可以训练这种思维架构.故选B.
64.A.考查动词的词义辨析和语境理解.前文建议在学校上学时可以参加实习,比如在公司、医院、政府做一些兼职工作,可以在获得经验的同时学到在现实世界中致胜的必备技能.将这种实际工作经验与学校中学到的知识相结合,pair…with…表示使…与…相匹配,词义和逻辑都通顺,故选A.
65.D.考查名词的词义辨析和语境理解.与64空不远有一个practical(实践的),强调了实际工作经验会有助于现实职场,并使得从学校到职场的转换压力小很多.上下文前后呼应,点明了此段强调的关键词--reality或是practical world.故选D.
点评 完形填空题是考查语言的应用能力.在解题时,要把握文章的整体,充分考虑上下文和语境,不能拘泥于词汇本身.对于故事类文章,还要充分利用文章的情节暗示和作者的述事方法.
