问题      Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of an【1】should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, however, most people make several job choices during their working lives,【2】because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve their position. The "one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should【3】enter into a broad flexible training program that will fit them for a field of work rather than for a single【4】.
     Unfortunately, etent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing【5】about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss basis. Some drift from job to job. Others【6】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,【7】both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal【8】. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a "White-collar" job is no good reason for choosing it as life’s work. Moreover, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the【9】of young people should give serious consideration to these fields.
     Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants【10】and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others desire intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take risks for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.

选项 A、identification
B、entertainment
C、accommodation
D、occupation

答案D

解析 本题测试近义名词。identification意为“识别,鉴定”,指“确定……的起源、性质等”;entertainment意为“乐趣,娱乐”,指令人愉快、使人娱乐的事物;accommodation意为“膳宿,接待”,指提供空间给予住宿;occupation意为“工作,职业”,指用来作为某个正常的生活来源的一项活动。本文一开始就说“大多数值得做的工作需要某种专门的培训”,所以所填之词应该与career(职业)的意思相近。应该选用occupation。
