not park it in the garage可知，他把车停在了路上，作者就在想为什么不停在车库里。3同上，作者只是心里在纳闷，并没有真正去问他4根据in the afternoon可知，他是下班回来，out of work是失业5句意理解，下班后就可以去处理他的私人事务了，即personal affairs6句意理解，作者看到他回家后，处理私人事务还换了一辆车开，认为这太浪费了7句意理解，我一直对他的私车很好奇，一直没有看到，直到两周后的一个晚上，我碰巧在外面 happen to do意为碰巧干某事8同上9上下文，根据后面的he drove out in his “own”

careers require some kind of specialized training. therefore, the choice of an _36_ should be made even before choice of a curriculum in high school. actually, _37_, most people make several job choices during their working lives, _38_ because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve _39_ position. the one perfect job does not exist. young people should _40_ enter into a broad flexible training program that will _41_ them for a field of work rather than for a single _42_ .unfortunately many young people have to make career plans _43_ benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. knowing _44_ about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss _45_. some drift from job to job. others _46_ to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.one common mistake is choosing an occupation for _47_ real or imagined prestige . too many high-school students - or their parents for them - choose the professional field, _48_ both the relatively small percentage of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal _49_. the imagined or real prestige of a profession or a white-collar job is _50_ good reason for choosing it as lifes work. _51_, these occupations are not always well paid. since a large percentage of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the _52_ of young people should take serious _53_ into these fields.before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants _54_ life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. some want security; others are willing to take _55_ for financial gain. each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.21a. identification b. accommodation c. occupation d. entertainment22a. thereby b. however c. though d. therefore23a. thoroughly b. mainly c. entirely d. partly

(理想地)，actually(实际上)可知两句存在对立关系含有转折意义。23副词辨析。a彻底地；b主要地；c完全地；d部分地；前半句陈述现象，后半句分析原因。根据下文的partly to improve，可知d正确。24形容词辨析。根据上下文可知这里的their是指前面提及的most people。25上下文串联。根据句意“因此，年轻人应该广泛灵活的培训计划”26词义辨析。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 sbfor意为“使适合”。27上下文串联。所填的词应与work对等呼应28介词辨析。根据上下文可知这里应该使用否定词与unfortunately形成呼应。29上下文串联。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”30名词辨析。名词basis与介词on连用。31动词辨析。others则为另一种现象，应与drift相反，即死抱着不喜欢的工作，选d。32代词辨析。这里的it指代前面的an occupation。33动词辨析。根据句意可知是没有认识到，忽视了34名词辨析。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。35上下文串联。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。36副词辨析。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。37上下文串联。根据句意可知大部分年轻人要认真考虑这些领域。38名词辨析。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”，39上下文串联。由he wants与life可知，是“从生活中想得到的”之义故选b。40名词辨析。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”。my husband and i both work at home. we have four children, so the times when i am 36 in the house are few. like many work-at-home moms, when i do get a 37 to be by myself, i fill that time with more 38 , whether its related to my career or taking care of the housework. most of the time, i dont mind. 39 , i wanted this job as wife and mother, and i knew from the start that it often 40 putting others needs before my own. but, other times, i cant help but feel a little 41 because i seldom had any plans for myself, and everyone knew it. my life 42 on my family, but they seldom appreciated this, which often 43 me a lot.one day, when the kids were at school, i 44 for the movie theater-alone, id 45 been to the movies alone before, so i was a little nervous. would i look pitiful going to the theater by myself? was i being ridiculous(荒唐可笑) by seeing a movie 46 so much work waited for me at home? i 47 myself to swallow these 48 and bought myself a ticket. and then i walked into the theater with my 49 held high and enjoyed every minute of the movie. i laughed and felt my good spirits 50 for a couple of hours, i was 51 wife or mother. i was just myself.from that point on, i 52 that fridays would be mine, 53 for a couple of hours. some fridays, i head to(前往) the beach with a good book. other fridays, i go shopping, 54 up a little fast food or some clothes just for myself. i really 55 my fridays after a long week of caring of my family.41abusy

its related to my career or taking care of the housework可知44词组，so far到目前为止 from then on从那时起 as a result结果 after all毕竟，句意为，毕竟我愿意这份妻子兼任妈妈的工作，并且我从一开始就知道，这意为着别人的需求要高于我自己的45同上 46上下文，根据后面的 because i seldom had any plans for myself可知，我没有自己的安排，所以有时候会有点生气，根据下文的but they seldom appreciated this也可以看出47上下文，根据上文的内容可知，作者的生活就围绕着家庭这个中心。48句意理解，他们却对此并不感激，这让我很恼怒。49上下文，根据句意可知，作者要去电影院，她从来没有一个人去过，所以有点紧张50同上51句意理解，当有很多工作等我去做的时候，我一个人去看电影，这是不是有点荒谬？52根据后面的bought myself a ticket可知，作者还是决定去看电影了，所以此处意为我强迫我自己把这些想法都抛开（吞掉)53同上指的是对自己做法的怀疑的一些想法54句意理解，她说服了自己，因此是头高昂着进去了55上下文，上文讲到的是自己很生气，现在自己好的情绪又回来了56上下文，根据后面的i was just myself可知，她此处意为我不是谁的妻子，也不是谁的母亲，我就是我自己（我要我自己的生活）57从按天起，我决定每周五就是属于我自己的，至少也是几个小时。declare用于官方的58同上，at least意为至少at last 最后 in all总计 in time最后，及时59词组，此处pick up意为快速吃点东西60根据后面的after a long week of caring of my family可知，在一整个星期的繁忙工作后，我非常期待这个星期五的到来。steve, a twelve-year-old boy with alcoholic parents, was failing. surprisingly, he could read. 21 his good reading skills, steve had been failing since first grade.
