31．[B] 【解析】首旬指出“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，选B。

32．[D]【解析】根据上下文出现的两个对应副词Ideally (理想地)，Actually(实际上)可知两旬存在对立关系．含有转折意义，故选D。

33．[C]【解析】前半句陈述现象，后半句分析原因，故选C。

34．[A]【解析】根据句意“因此，年轻人应该……广泛灵活的培训计划”．可知enter int0“加入，参加”符合句意。

35．[B]【解析】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”。

36．[D]【解析】所填的词应与job对等呼应，故选D。

37．[B]【解析】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”，
38．[C]【解析】OH a basis“在……的基础上”。

39．[D]【解析】Some…Others…描述了两种现象，根据上下文和一般常识推测此处应表示“不断跳槽”的意思。

drift from job to job表示“从一个工作跳到另一个工作”。

40．[A]【解析】ot hers…则为另一种现象，应与drift相反，即死抱着不喜欢的工作，故选A。

41．[C]【解析】and提示空格处要填的词应与in which对等．be fitted for为固定搭配，which引导从句，介词提前．故选C。

42．[A]【解析】空格处须填入的代词指代的是an occupation故用its。

43．[C]【解析】本空要填disregard的某种形式．空格前半句话已有主语和谓语，又由于该句主语是动词disregard的逻辑主语．表主动．故用现在分词．选C。

44．[B]【解析】专业性职业领域对教育和个人能力要求相对较高，requirements“要求”符合旬意。

45．[B]【解析】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，故8正确。

46．[A]【解析】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，选A。

47．[D]【解析】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”，选D。

48．[A]【解析】由he wants与life可知，是“从生活中想得到的”之义．故选A。

能不能表达“从生活中想得到”的意思，D没有这个说法。

49．[C]【解析】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”。

50．[B]【解析】这里讲到的是“职业选择”的两个方面，填入的词应与demands 对等．故选B。
