问题     Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, the choice of an【C1】______should【C2】______even before choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, most people make several job choices during their working lives,【C3】______because of economic and industrial changes and partly to【C4】______their position. The "one【C5】______job" does not exist. Young people should【C6】______enter a broad【C7】______training program that will【C8】______them for a field of work rather than for a single job.
    Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans without benefit of help from a(n)【C9】______vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing【C10】______about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss【C11】______. Some【C12】______from job to job. Others【C13】______to work in which they are unhappy and【C14】______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,【C15】______both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal【C16】______. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a "white-collar" job is no good reason for choosing it as life’s work.【C17】______, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the【C18】______of young people should give serious【C19】______to these fields.
    Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants out of 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【C20】______for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.
【C16】

选项 A、preferences
B、requirements
C、tendencies
D、ambitions

答案B

解析 词汇题。词义辨析题。preferences意为“喜好”,如:What is your preference?你有什么喜好?requirements“要求,需求,必要条件”,如:He didn’t meet the university’sentrance requirements.他没有达到该大学的人学要求。tendencies“(性格或性质上的)倾向,癖好”,如:Her mother has a tendencyto talk too much.她妈妈喜欢唠叨。ambitions“远大志向,雄心壮志”,如:The youngman is filled with ambition to become successful.那个年轻人一心想成功。本句说这些工作的特点——对受教育程度和人的要求很高。个人爱好、倾向或是否有雄心属于个人具体情况,本文没有详谈某项工作对个体的特殊要求,只是从一般情况出发谈论职业的选择问题。因此,requirements为正确答案,而其他选项则不是最佳答案。
