Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

For college students, graduation signals an exciting new beginning. 【1】 Many students wonder: What do I do now? What career is best for me? Most expert advice on choosing careers boils down to the following points.

Knowing Yourself

What are your interests? Abilities? Skills? 【2】 The results may surprise you! These can be useful, but they’re not the last word.

Investigating

Investigating occupations is much more difficult. For most people, there isn’t just one ‘right’ job, but several that could be satisfying. 【3】 Talk to people who have occupations that interest you. Find out what they like and dislike about their job.

【4】

Many people choose their careers because they believe strongly in a particular cause. Some might choose to work in areas like medicine, charity or environmental protection. Some have a strong interest in history or a love for the arts. 【5】 So in cases like these, the field is often chosen first, rather than the occupation itself.

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文，大学毕业生在选择职业方面面临很多困惑，作者对此提出了自己的建议。

【1】D 根据横线后两句Many students wonder: What do I do now? What career is best for me?很多大学毕业生都想知道：我们现在能做什么？什么样的职业最适合自己？说明很多大学毕业生对于未来的生活很迷茫，不知道未来在哪里。所以D项“But it can also bring a lot of uncertainty and confusion.”毕业也会带来很多的不确定和困惑，符合上下文串联。

【2】A 根据横线前句What are your interests? Abilities? Skills?你的兴趣是什么？你的能力怎么样？你的技巧如何？要想了解自己，可以对自己进行一次测验。测验的结果可以告诉我们自己的兴趣、能力和技巧。横线后一句The results may surprise you!说明本句应该使用A项“Try a self-assessment quiz.”尝试自我检测,了解自己的兴趣和能力技巧等。

【3】E 根据横线前一句For most people, there isn’t just one ‘right’ job, but several that could be satisfying.对于很多人来说，没有一个正确的职业，但又好几个让人满意的职业。那么如何从这几个让人满意的职业中找到适合自己的职业？我们可以进行职业研究来缩小范围，所以E项“Serious research helps narrow the possibilities”符合上下文的串联。同时后一句Talk to people who have occupations that interest you.这是职业研究的一种方式。

【4】C 根据本段最后一句Invest some time and effort, and find the right career for you.可知我们要花时间和经历，找到适合自己的正确的职业。这是本段的中心句，选项中的C项“Finding your place.”找到你的位置符合本段中心思想。

【5】G 根据横线前句Some have a strong interest in history or a love for the arts.一些人对历史或艺术有很浓厚的兴趣，那么他们最可能选择与历史及艺术有关的职业。故G项“Then they might think about education, museums or art production.”中的教育、博物馆学以及艺术创作正是与历史及艺术相关的职业。故G项符合上下文串联。
