• 问答题 Passage 2　　Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of an occupation should be made even  1 choice of a curriculum in high school.  2 , however, most people make several job choices during their working lives, partly because of economic and industrial changes and partly  3 improve their position. The one perfect job does not exist. Young people should therefore enter into a broad flexible training program that will fit them for a field of work  4 than for a single job.　　Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans without benefits of help  5 a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing  6 about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss  7 .  8 drift from job to job. Others stick 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, concerning both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal requirements. The prestige that people tend to attribute to a profession or a white-collar job is no good reason for choosing it  9 life's work.　　Moreover, these occupations are not always well paid.  10 a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the majority of young people should  11 serious consideration to these fields.　　Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants out of life and  12 hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people  13 social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take  14 for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as  15 as its awards.

• 问答题 Passage 1　　“It Nineteenth-century humorist Artemus Ward once warned the readers: ‘It ain’t what you don’t know that hurts you; it’s what you know that just ain’t so. ’”　　(1)There’s good advice in that warning to some of television’s most fussy critics, who are certain that every significant change in American social and political life can be traced, more or less directly, to the extensive influence of TV.　　This is an understandable attitude. For one thing, television is the most visible, ubiquitous de- vice to have entered our lives in the last forty years. (2)It is a medium in almost every American home, it is on in the average household some seven hours a day, and it is accessible by every kind of citizen from the most desperate of the poor to the wealthiest and most powerful among us.　　If so pervasive a medium has come into our society in the last four decades and if our society has changed in drastic ways in that same time, why not assume that TV is the reason why American life looks so different?　　Well, as any philosopher can tell you, one good reason for skepticism is that you can’t make assumptions about causes. They even have an impressive Latin phrase for that fallacy, post hoc, ergo propter hoc. For instance, if I do a rain dance at 5 P.M. and it rains at 6 P. M., did my dance bring down the rains? Probably not. (3) But it’s that kind of thinking, in my view, that characterizes much of the argument about how television influences our values.　　It’s perfectly clear, of course, that TV does influence some kinds of behavior. For example, back in 1954, Disneyland launched a series of episodes on the life of Davy Crockett, the legendary Tennessee frontiersman. A song based on that series swept the hit parade, and by that summer every kid in America was wearing a coonskin cap.　　(4) The same phenomenon has happened whenever a character on a prime-time television show suddenly stimulates a strong response in the country. Countless women tried to capture the Farrah Fawcett look a decade ago when “Charlie’s Angels “first took flight. In the mid-1980s, every singles bar in the land was packed with young men in expensive white sports jackets and T-shirts, trying to emulate the macho looks of “Miami Vice’s” Don Johnson.　　(5) These fashions clearly show television’s ability to influence matters that do not matter very much. Yet, when we turn to genuinely important things, television’s impact becomes a lot less clear.
