29、0）A.thanB.thatC.asD.with解析：解析 考查(not) more.than“(没有)比更”短语的用法。此处作者表达的意思是：难道生活中就没有比制作简历更有意义的事吗? 因此选A。A.professionB.careerC.businessD.employment解析：解析 制作简历是为了找工作。“未来工作/职业”通常表述为future career，故选B。A.linked toB.compared toC.directed toD.added to解析：解析 人们对制作简历的痴迷与压力是息息相关的，这里用link to合适，选A。文章没有将制作简历与压力进行对比，可排除c
30、ompare to“把比作”。direct to“把用于”；add to“增加到”。A.creativeB.uniqueC.similarD.successful解析：解析 to be conspicuously.是people的后置定语，人们之所以有压力是想获得令人瞩目的成功。这里用successful合适。creative“有创造力的”；unique“独一无二的”；similar“相似的”。A.absorbedB.remindedC.interferedD.bothered解析：解析 电视时常会播放年轻人取得成就的画面，这对人们来说是不断地“被提醒”，电视提醒着人们要尽快干一番事业，故选B
31、。absorb“吸收”；interfere“干预”；bother“打扰”。A.urgencyB.hopelessnessC.hostilityD.happiness解析：解析 上文谈到人们承受着种种压力，这会迫使人们产生赶紧干一番事业的“紧迫感”，用urgency合适。hopelessness“绝望”；hostility“敌意”；happiness“幸福”。A.at largeB.at bestC.at leastD.at length解析：解析 四个选项中，at large意为“(逃犯)在逃；全面地”；at best意为“至多”；at least表示“至少”；at length指“详尽地”。
32、空格后“表现得不同凡响”是空格前“做不同凡响的事”的一种让步，at least“至少”符合这种逻辑。A.grantingB.entitlingC.consideringD.presenting解析：解析 选项中，能跟空格后的as搭配的只有presenting“展示”和considering“考虑”，此处意为“想办法_自己非同寻常”，只有presenting“展示”代入空格，句意通顺。grant“赋予”；entitle“使有资格”。A.whenB.thatC.howD.what解析：解析 此处填入的内容为定语从句的引导词。空格前的先行词brand在从句中作present的宾语，故应用that/w
33、hich，选B。A.suggestionB.targetC.exampleD.lesson解析：解析 该段首句谈到我们应该为自己打造一个品牌，下文以人们制作Facebook页面为例具体说明，因此选example“例子”。suggestion“建议”；target“目标”；lesson“课程”。A.leave outB.leave overC.leave offD.leave behind解析：解析 筛选图片和信息时，人们通常有所取舍。空格前的share表示“取”，那么空格处应填含有“舍”之义的词或词组，leave out意为“省略，删去”，符合句意。leave over“剩余”；leave o
34、ff“中断”；leave behind“忘带”。A.compulsorilyB.innocentlyC.voluntarilyD.deliberately解析：解析 制作简历跟制作Facebook页面一样，要将自己的“achievements(成就)”展现出来，这需要深思熟虑的筛选，因而用deliberately“深思熟虑地”。compulsorily“强制地”；innocently“天真地”；voluntarily“自愿地”。A.identifyB.distinguishC.keepD.reveal解析：解析 能与空格后的from搭配的动词只有B和C，其中distinguish.from意为
35、“把区分开来”，而keep.from则意为“阻止”，可见这里选B合适。identify“认出，识别”；reveal“透露”。A.singleB.uniqueC.relevantD.unusual解析：解析 空格处要填入形容词修饰work-experience，求职者如果有相关的工作经验，在面试时会是一个加分的因素，relevant意为“相关的”，是正确答案。A.attendedB.spentC.devotedD.involved解析：解析 四个选项中，只有devoted能与其后的to搭配，表示“致力于”，选C。attend“参加”；spend“花费”；involve“参与”。A.In shor
36、tB.On the contraryC.Or elseD.On the other hand解析：解析 空格后的“我们需要向未来的雇主证明”是本段内容的总结，故用in short“总之”。A.occupyingB.payingC.pursuingD.offering解析：解析 空格前的they指代前文的future employers，而the job是由未来的雇主所提供的，用offering。occupy“占有”；pay“支付”；pursue“追求”。A.inB.behindC.onD.from解析：解析 此处句意“简历并不能真实地说明其_所描述的人，因为”，behind“在背后”符合句意。
37、A.BecauseB.IfC.WhenD.Although解析：解析 前半句讲“我们伪装成我们喜欢志愿者工作和无薪实习”，后半句则说“我们的目的只是为了找工作”，后半句说出伪装的原因，与前半句语义相对，故选表让步关系的Although。A.strengthenB.developC.enhanceD.catch解析：解析 根据句意“许多人(参加志愿者工作或没有薪水的实习)只是为了_获得好工作的机会”，判断这里需要填入表示“增加”含义的动词，故选C。Here are the three most common mistakes language learners makeand how to co

43、根据句意“对模糊的_差的学生往往会在语言学习中痛苦不已”，选项中只有tolerance“容忍(度)”填入后句子通顺，故选A。confidence“自信”；enthusiasm“热情”；skepticism“怀疑态度”。A.doubtfulnessB.uncertaintyC.distrustD.suspicion解析：解析 根据下文的new vocabulary以及irregular等表达可以看出，这些都是语言学习的不确定因素，故用uncertainty。其他三个选项均表示“怀疑”。A.customB.exceptionC.requirementD.view解析：解析 此处为不确定因素的另一个
44、方面。根据空格后的irregular“不规则”，可以推断这里应填入与其意思在同一个范畴的词，表明“语法规则也有例外”，故用exception“例外”。custom“习惯”；requirement“要求”；view“观点”。A.UntilB.IfC.UnlikeD.Because解析：解析 前文讲到在学习语言过程中会存在模糊度(ambiguity)，该句认为，除非达到了母语般的程度，否则这种模糊程度会一直存在。until意为“直到才”，符合句意。A.forB.downC.outD.over解析：解析 根据空格后的the dictionary，可判断这里需要一个表示“翻阅”含义的短语，reach
45、for意为“伸手去拿”，符合句意。A.in spite ofB.in line withC.instead ofD.along with解析：解析 guessing the meaning与翻阅字典是两种相反的行为，故这里用instead of“而不是”衔接最为恰当。in spite of“尽管”；in line with“与一致”；along with“与一起”。A.tediousB.stimulatingC.enjoyableD.stressed解析：解析 空格跟disoriented“迷失方向的”通过and连接，因此推断空格处应填入负面含义的词。看到新词就查字典的学生在浸入式课堂上应该会感觉到压力而非枯燥，故选D。tedious“枯燥的”；stimulating“刺激的”；enjoyable“享受的”。A.ImmediatelyB.CurrentlyC.UltimatelyD.Temporarily解析：解析 学生感到压力和迷茫后选择了放弃学习，这是
