内容概要:?本文讨论职业选择和择业咨询。?
71.C。occupation是职业的意思，从本文的主题句 “ careers require some kind of ”可推出这一答案。?
72.B。however在这里表达的是转折关系。?
73.D。 partly的意思是部分地，之所以选partly可从该句中后面and partly 之间应有的平衡关系推出。?
74.C。选their是因为要用这一代词指代前面所说的most people。?
75.A。这里选therefore是因为与上文相接表示顺接关系。?
76.A。fit在这里作及物动词用，表示“使……适合”的意思。?
77.B。选job是出于平衡的考虑，与rather than 前面的work相对应。?
78.D。本文第二段转而讨论择业咨询。故使用without benefit 表示“无法得到……好处”这一意思。?
79.B。little用以表示数量，与much相反。这里作代词用。且具有否定意义。?
80.A。on a hit or miss basis作为一个词组其含义是：“在要么撞上要么错过的基础上”。即“基本上是盲目的”。Chance和opportunity均表示“机会”，purpose表示“目的”，都与上下文不符。故选A。?
81.D。选项D. stick(to work)的意思是“坚持工作”。选项A和B均不能和不定式to work搭配。turn to work 的意思是“转而去做某种工作”与上下文不符。?
82.A。its用以代替与其相离最近的名词occupation。?
83.C。选项C。 disregarding及后面的both the relatively small proportion of workers the professions and the extremely high educational and personal requirements的意思是“既不考虑在这些职业领域中需要的人员较少，也不考虑其中对从业者的教育水平和个人要求都极高等问题。”其它选项所表达的意思都与之相反。?
84.A。requirements指用人单位必须对从业者提出的能力要求，而不是preferences（偏爱），tendencies（趋势）等暂时的或主观的因素。?
85.D。选项D. no表示绝对否定。含义是决不是正当理由，符合上下文的要求。?
86.C。选项C. moreover表示“进而，况且”。上文说了选“白领工作”不一定就好。本句则补充说明“白领收入也不一定高”，故用moreover。?
87.B。根据句意：大多数人都得选择一般性的机械的非智力性的工作，又考虑与前半句中的a large proportion of jobs 对应，就只能选择B。?
88.D。在四个 选项中只有D. consideration 能讲的通。因为该句谓语为主动语态，符合句意。而其它三个选项（proposal，suggestion和appraisal）都应当是被给予的内容。?
89.D。选项D. out of的意思是“由……之中”符合句意。?
90.C。本题属于反向选择。本句的前半句讲“有人想要强调必须安全”，后半句则与之对应，讲“另一些人则喜欢冒险。”因此选C。
