【参考答案】:
1D2B3E4A5D6C7E8C
这种类型的题不过是一个句子换一种说法,关键是看对每一段话的理解。
我们看一下1到8在说什么,然后到A到E中寻找答案。
1.该公司正在对其商业活动进行多样化。
2.尽管该公司业绩不错,内部也有一些困难需要处理。
3.该公司单个产品收益减少
4.一项统计数据对该公司的表现不像另外一个那样有准确的指导作用。
5.曾经帮助过该公司的环境在将来可能就不那么好了。
6.该公司的股票价格在过去的一年里变化很大。
7.该公司未来很可能会被收购。
8.该公司的表现让人很有信心
那么,再读一下A到E表达的什么意思,很容易对号入座

答案:
9B10A11E12C13D14F
9.本段是说在职业生涯中设立一个单独的目标的影响。
而且首段也说了assume,根据前后文,应该选择B。
10.本段说了一些不确定的因素来说明在职业生涯中一直追求一个目标不切实际。
而空白前面说的是就业市场结构,newtechnologies和newworksystems这双重影响,之后说了在一个公司待着不现实,那么中间选择A。
11.空白前面讲传统的职业规划用途有限,后面将需要升级和更新来适应我们的兴趣和外部工作环境的变化。
E.相应的,职业规划也应该顺应这种变化。
12.前面讲了Flexibleworkers占所有劳动力的一半,后面又说了我们可能会面临**职业,顾问,或者兼职工作。
那么中间的空白部分肯定讲工作形式的问题。
13.D。
前面讲到PDP,后面肯定要对其进行说明。
14.F。
这段主要讲了人们怎样评测自己的能力和工作有效性以及怎样提高的问题。
空白部分后是转折,那么空白部分应该是和其相反的。
