【解析】
试题分析: 如果你有以下四个方面的迹象,就表明你应该换一个工作了:1.不想去上班;2.你很在意你的老板和同事的价值观是否和你一样;3.你希望有更具挑战性的任务;4.感觉自己像个局外人。
【1】D考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:在过去的几年里,很多人发现自己很难坚持自己不想要的工作。空后的意思是:就业数据正在好转,劳动力市场似乎正在好转。在这里有四个迹象表明,是时候换个工作了。所以这里选D(不过,现在可能是找一份新工作的时候了。)与前文一致。
【2】F考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是:我们都有不想去工作的时候,甚至不喜欢我们做的工作。但你真有不喜欢去的想法吗?所以这里选F(如果是这样,那就是时候找一份新工作或者自己做买卖。)与上下文一致。
【3】C考查对上下文语境的理解。空后的意思是:但是,如果你发现自己和你的老板和同事的价值观有不同,可能是离开的时候了。所以这里选C(我们中的许多人都有自己的价值观和理想。)与前文一致。
【4】B考查对上下文语境的理解。空前一句的意思是:一些人首选容易的工作;空后一句的意思是:然而,你可能希望更具挑战性的任务。所以这里选B(这是一个日复一日工作的问题。)与上文一致。
【5】A考查段落大意的归纳。本段的意思是: 如果你觉得和你的工作环境格格不入的话,就表明你需要换一个更好一些的组织。所以这里选A(感觉自己像个局外人。)是本段的大意。
