【解析】

1.名词辨析。指出“大多数重要的职业都需要一定的专业培训”，故此空应指对“职业”的选择。

2.副词辨析。根据上下文出现的两个对应副词Ideally (理想地)，Actually(实际上)可知两句存在对立关系．含有转折意义。

3.副词辨析。A彻底地；B主要地；C完全地；D部分地；前半句陈述现象，后半句分析原因。根据下文的partly to improve，可知D正确。

4.形容词辨析。根据上下文可知这里的their是指前面提及的most people。

5.上下文串联。根据句意“因此，年轻人应该……广泛灵活的培训计划”．

6.词义辨析。由后文的“一个领域的工作”和“某项工作”，可知年轻人参加培训的目的是为了“适应”工作．因此B为答案。fit sb．for意为“使适合”。

7.上下文串联。所填的词应与work对等呼应

8.介词辨析。根据上下文可知这里应该使用否定词与Unfortunately形成呼应。

9.上下文串联。由Unfortunately可知空格处应填表否定意义的词，know little about表示“对……知之甚少”

10.名词辨析。名词basis与介词on连用。

11.动词辨析。others…则为另一种现象，应与drift相反，即死抱着不喜欢的工作，选D。

12.代词辨析。这里的it指代前面的an occupation。

13.动词辨析。根据句意可知是没有认识到…，忽视了…

14.名词辨析。专业性职业领域对教育和个人能力要求相对较高，requirements“要求”符合。

15.上下文串联。前两句讲选择职业时的常见错误，此处句意顺承上文，应填入否定词，表示有声誉的职业和白领职业并不能成为择业的原因。

16.副词辨析。空格后面一句话继续对这样的选择予以否定．表达的是一种递进关系，有逗号隔开。

17.上下文串联。根据句意可知大部分年轻人要认真考虑这些领域。

18.名词辨析。空格所在的句子与前面的句子构成因果关系(since)．故空格处填入的词大意思应为“考虑，思考”，

19.上下文串联。由he wants与life可知，是“从生活中想得到的”之义．故选B。

20.名词辨析。由一些人希望有安全感和另一些人想得到金钱上的回报，可推知填入的词应与security“安全”相反，故选C。take risks“冒风险”。
