Knowing  6 about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss  7 .  8 drift from job to job. Others stick to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.  One common mistake is choosing an occupation for its real or imagined prestige. Too many high school students or their parents for them choose the professional field, concerning both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal requirements. The prestige that people tend to attribute to a profession or a white-collar job is no good reason for choosing it  9 life's work.  Moreover, these occupations are not always well paid.  10 a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the majority of young people should  11 serious consideration to these fields.  Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants out of life and  12 hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people  13 social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take  14 for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as  15 as its awards.

    正确答案: 31. OUT
    此题考查动词短语figure out, 表示“想出,理解”。
    32. MOST
    对本空格所在的句子分析可知,宾语从句中结构完整,主语、谓语、宾语齐全,因此可以推断空格处所缺的是修饰动词interests的程度副词来。根据逻辑关系,填入most意思是“对……最感兴趣”。
    33. OF
    be of+n. =adj.这一句型的用法是本题考查的关键点,此处的be of great use, 与be very useful的意思相同。
    34. MAKING
    此空格处需要填入一个动词与decision搭配形成动宾关系。短语make the decision意为“做决定”,另外,动名词应该跟在介词for后面,所以空格处应填making。
    35. ARE
    what引导的内容是本空格所在的句子的宾语从句,其中此处需要填入的是be动词与其后的“growing and hiring”形成现在进行时态。此外,根据主谓一致关系,“business careers”为本从句的主语,所以答案为are。
    36. MEANS
    理解commute的含义是本题解题的关键,它的意思是“通勤,往来于工作地点和住所之间”。所以此空格所缺的是表示交通方式的单词。此外,means of transportation意为“交通方式”,因此答案为means。
    37. OR
    空格的前后句都是独立的简单句,所以空格处所缺的是能够连接这两个简单句的并列连词以便构成一个并列句。所以填入or连接两个简单疑问句构成一个选择疑问句。 短语strike out意为“开始独立生活或创业”。
    38. TAKE
    固定搭配take into account的意思是“考虑”。
    39. COMES
    空格所在的句子为一个倒装句, 空格处所需要填入的是谓语动词。此处的come意为“来临,到来”。

For Answers 1 to 5, please read the passage carefully and complete each space in the summary, using a maximum of three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Answers 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.  Around the world, music therapy is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses. Some of the ways people use music therapy are to reduce pain, such as childbirth or during cancer treatments, or to stimulate brain activity after an injury or memory loss. Music therapy has also been successful in aiding children to overcome disabilities.  Classical music is most typically used for therapies due to its complex sounds and patterns. Although rap or pop might be fun to listen to, it’s unlikely that such styles of music would produce the same kind of therapeutic effect. Playing a musical instrument rather than simply listening to music can also be therapeutic for some people, helping relieve stress and anxiety.  Have scientists been able to prove that music can heal diseases? Music has been shown to reduce pain in cancer patients by increasing the release of endorphins. Endor-plains are the body’s natural painkillers, and when we listen to music, our brains respond by releasing these natural painkillers. It has also been known to contribute to the brain development of new born babies and even babies still in the mother’s womb. Currently, music therapy is used in a variety of settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, day care centers, and schools.Summary:  There appears to be some evidence that music is helpful  1 some medical conditions. Therefore, doctors and patients are turning to music to treat various  2 and disabilities. Doctors believe that music with  3 and patterns is more effective. This kind of music seems to  4 more activity in the brain. Although it may be fun to listen to rap or pop or dance music, doctors prefer to use  5 to treat patients.

    正确答案:
    1.for treating 由第一句“音乐疗法被用来治疗不同的身体异常状况和疾病”可知音乐可以帮助治愈一些身体的异常状况。be helpful for doing sth.对…有益/有帮助。
    2.medical conditions 由第一段第一句“music therapy is being used to treat different medical conditions and illnesses“可知关键词为medical conditions和illnesses。第二句列举了medical conditions的例子;第三句列举了illnesses的例子,即disabilities。因此答案为medical conditions。
    3.complex sounds 由第二段首句可知古典音乐在音乐疗法中使用最多的原因是其complex sounds and patterns.
    4.stimulate 文中第一段第二句提到音乐可以用来stimulate brain activity。
    5.classical music 由第二段可知古典音乐比说唱乐或流行音乐更适合用来进行治疗。
