B.Interesting.‎ C.Surprising. D.Exciting.‎ 答案A 解析词义猜测题。根据末段中的“While for some in their 20s ...for some who are older,in their 30s and 40s,with kids and a family,meeting others can be difficult.”可知,年轻人交友比较容易,但大多数成年人都忙于家庭,没时间交朋友,因此对他们来说交友是件令人沮丧的事。‎ B Whenever I talk about personality in relation to choosing a career,some people complain like this:Those tests are so stupid.When I was in sixth grade,I took one of them and it said that I should be a farmer.While I don’t think I would be a very good farmer,the results are probably a lot more accurate than I’d like to admit.At the time,it seemed unreasonable—I hated the outdoors and physical activities.Now,I think it might have had some points that fit my personality:I like planning (good for planning how to grow crops),working by myself (for those long days on an agricultural machine),and sometimes working on a team (for harvest time).‎ Watch out for any personality test that claims to be able to tell you what your dream job is by the type of animal you’d like to be,or from your favorite breakfast food as a child.While there are many personality assessments that are accurate,I’d like to say that they are a second step.The best choice is self-assessment.‎ Before finding ways to know your work preferences,it’s important to make a clear difference between liking a topic and liking the work.I once met a third-year marine (海洋的) biology student at a large state school in Ohio.He was placed into the Whale Watch program,where he found out that he became violently seasick on any kind of boat—a big disadvantage for a student who thought he wanted to study whales in the wild.‎ The best match is a career in which the major tasks of the work are the tasks you most enjoy doing and the topic is one of interests.If that career doesn’t exist,my advice would be to take the job where there is a skill match.In this way,you will succeed at the basic tasks of your job and perhaps become interested in it.‎ ‎【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了个性测试与职业选择的关系并告诉人们应如何选择合适的职业。‎ ‎5.What is some people’s opinion on choosing a career through personality tests?‎ A.It’s possible to lead to career failure.‎ B.It’s helpful only in a limited way.‎ C.It’s unreasonable.‎ D.It’s worth a try.‎ 答案C 解析推理判断题。根据首段中的“some people complain like this:Those tests are so stupid”可知,有些人并不认为个性测试能帮助他们选择职业。‎ ‎6.What does the author think of the personality test she took when she was young?‎ A.She admits it forecasts her present job accurately.‎ B.She thinks it shows some part of her personality.‎ C.She finds it helpless for her.‎ D.She has little interest in it.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据首段中的“the results are probably a lot more accurate than I’d like to admit”以及“I think it might have had some points that fit my personality”可知,作者认为该测试结果在某方面与她的性格相符。‎ ‎7.What is the best way to know your dream job?‎ A.Taking personality tests on your favorite things.‎ B.Doing accurate personality assessments.‎ C.Trying your dream job in practice.‎ D.Finding it out by yourself.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The best choice is self-assessment.”可知,作者认为最好的方式是自我评估。‎ ‎8.Why was the marine biology student unsuitable for his job?‎ A.He disliked the job.‎ B.He felt sick travelling on a boat.‎ C.He was afraid of marine animals.‎ D.He knew little about his preferences.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“he became violently seasick on any kind of boat”可知,这名学生晕船严重,因而不适合这项工作。‎ 二、完形填空 I was fifteen and a high school freshman when I started rapidly losing weight.I was about 130 pounds,and I was 　1　 ten pounds every couple of weeks.I couldn’t
