Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature of the kind of highspeed, highpressure, hightech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their longterm company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entrylevel positions with social science graduates.1preprofessional“提前职业培训的”，派生词，加前缀pre，表示“在之前；预先”2highspeed“高速的”，合成词3highpressure“高压力的”，合成词4hightech“高科技的”，合成词5experience“v.经历”，转化词，由名词experience(经验，经历)转化而来6longterm“长期的”，合成词7percentage“百分比”，派生词，加后缀age8entrylevel“初级的”，合成词.语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。“Remember, your father is only one year _1_ (old) than you.” That was Moms usual excuse when Dad said the wrong things or did something _2_ (fool)Dad quitted drinking exactly one year before I was born.

Saturday is my birthday！” I begged him but _7_ (refuse). He said, “I am chairing the meeting this Saturday.

Its an open meeting. All are welcome.” _9_ would I do at a meeting? But maybe I needed to see why something Dad did every week mattered so much.After we arrived, Dad announced the theme of the meeting was going to be grateful.

Shame washed over me.语篇解读：本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者由对父亲每周参加会议非常不理解到最后自己感到羞愧的过程。1older从空后的“than you”可知，这里要用形容词的比较级。2foolishfoolish为形容词，在这里作定语，修饰something。3had stopped从句中stop的动作发生在主句中的said之前，因此本空用过去完成时。4but分析语境可知，空前后为转折关系，因此用but。5from此处表示他每周的会议把他从“我”身边带走，因此用from。take away from“带走”，为固定搭配。6exception从空前的an可知，这里需用名词，因此用exception。7was refusedI与refuse之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，再结合全文的时态可知，此空用一般过去时的被动语态。8feeling“feeling sorry for myself”为现在分词短语作伴随状语，修饰sat。9WhatWhat引导特殊疑问句，并在疑问句中作do的宾语。10called“called Dave”为过去分词短语作定语，修饰man。.完形填空The whole school was talking about the coming trip at a winter camp.
