分析 本文是一篇记叙文，主要围绕着母亲的教导"Everything happens for the best．一切都会好的"而展开故事，这句话对作者找工作起了一定的作用．文章旨在告诉我们不要畏惧困难和挫折！要坚持下去！一切都会为了更美好的未来而发生的．
解答 31．A 考查连词辨析 结合最后一段的 If you carry on，one day something good will happen 可知，如果（if）你能够坚持下去，总有一天好事会发生．while 意为"当…的时候"，unless 意为"除非"，although 意为"即使"，均不符合文意．故正确答案为A．
32．C 考查动词辨析 结合句中的 work my way up to a sports announcer 可知，在毕业以后"我"很努力地想成为一名体育解说员，由此可知"我"已经下定决心（decide）在电台找工作了．demand 意为"需要"，ask 意为"要求"，hope 意为"希望"，但是与 decide 相比意愿不是那么强烈，均不符合文意．故正确答案为C．
33．B 考查动词辨析 A项，hit on"偶然发现"；B项，knock on"敲击（门、窗等）"；C项，beat on"对打"；D项，attack on"攻击"．结合上下文可知，"我"敲了（knock on）芝加哥每家电台的门，但是都被拒绝了．故正确答案为B．
34．C 考查形容词辨析 结合句中的 advised me to try in small stations 可知，一位好心的女士建议"我"应该去小一点的电台试一试，因为大的（big）电台不会雇用没有经验的人．old 意为"老的"，new 意为"新的"，small 意为"小的"，均不符合文意．故正确答案为C．
35．D 考查情态动词辨析 结合上文的 stations wouldn't hire an inexperienced person 可知，她建议"我"去小的电台试一试，他们大概会（would）给"我"一个机会．shall 意为"将要"，should 意为"应该"，must 意为"必须"，均不符合文意．故正确答案为D．
36．B 考查动词辨析 结合上文可知，"我"听从了那位女士的建议，来到了 Dixon，Illinois 的一家当地的正需要（wanted）人的地方面试．hired 意为"已经雇用了的"，look 意为"看"，find 意为"发现"，均不符合文意．故正确答案为B．
37．A 考查连词辨析 分析句子成分可知，该句为表语从句，缺少成分作地点状语，用 where 引导．what 意为"什么"，不能做地点状语．in which 意为"在哪儿"，on which 意为"在…上"，不引导表语从句．故正确答案为A．
38．B 考查动词辨析 结合下文可知，"我"并没有得到这份工作，所以只能是听起来（sound）这份工作挺适合"我"的，而事实可能不一定是这样．sound 此处表示一种猜测．do 意为"做"，look 意为"看"，keep 意为"持有"，均不符合文意．故正确答案为B．
39．C 考查连词辨析 结合上文可知，"我"以为这份工作很适合"我"，但是（but）结果并不是那样的．此处表转折．and 意为"和"，so 意为"因此"，均不符合文意．however 意为"然而"，但是后面应用逗号隔开．故正确答案为C．
40．D 考查代词辨析 结合第一段中的 Everything happens for the best 可知，一切（everything）都会变好的．anything 意为"任何事"，nothing 意为"没什么"，something 意为"某事"，均不符合文意．故正确答案为D．
41．C 考查动词辨析 结合文意可知，为了"我"能找到工作，爸爸把他的车提供（offer）给了"我"．offer sb sth 为固定用法，意为"提供某人某物"．sell 意为"卖"，get 意为"得到"，均不符合文意．provide 意为"提供"，但用法通常为 provide sb with sth．故正确答案为C．
42．D 考查副词辨析 结合下文的 I was very disappointed 可知，他们已经（already）雇用了体育播音员，所以"我"感到很失望．almost 意为"几乎"，still 意为"仍然"，even 意为"甚至"，均不符合文意．故正确答案为D．
43．A 考查名词辨析 结合上文的 The program director told me 可知，当"我"打算走的时候，主管（director）叫住了"我"．manager 意为"经理"，reporter 意为"记者"，athlete 意为"运动员"，均不符合文意．故正确答案为A．
44．D 考查介词辨析 结合下文可知，他让"我"站到麦克风前（before），请"我"解说一场想象中的比赛．over 意为"在…之上"，under 意为"在…之下"，均不符合文意．behind 意为"在…之后"，通常只有站在麦克风前，面对着它才能正常使用，而不是站在它后面．故正确答案为D．
45．A 考查名词辨析 结合文意可知，在"我"回家的路（way）上，"我"想到了妈妈的话．on one's way home 为固定搭配，意为"在某人回家的路上"．path 意为"道路"，road 意为"公路"，street 意为"街道"，均无此搭配．故正确答案为A．
点评 完型填空，解题时要抓住文章的脉络，一定要读懂全文，弄清文章要表达的思想，注意前后段落之间的关系．答题中，一定要认真分析，注意选项与上下文的关系，与前后单词的关系．对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成，因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来．答完后再通读一篇文章，看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺，语意连贯．
