内容概要:?本文讨论职业选择和择业咨询。?
71.C。occupation是职业的意思，从本文的主题句 careers require some kind of 可推出这一答案。?
72.B。however在这里表达的是转折关系。?
73.D。 partly的意思是部分地，之所以选partly可从该句中后面and partly 之间应有些平衡关系推出。?
74.C。选their是由于要用这一代词指代前面所说的most people。?
75.A。这里选therefore是由于与上文相接表示顺接关系。?
76.A。fit在这里作及物动词用，表示使合适的意思。?
77.B。选job是出于平衡的考虑，与rather than 前面的work相对应。?
78.D。本文第二段转而讨论择业咨询。故用without benefit 表示没办法得到好处这一意思。?
79.B。little用以表示数目，与much相反。这里作代词用。且具备否定意义。?
80.A。on a hit or miss basis作为一个词组其含义是：在要么撞上要么错过的基础上。即基本上是盲目的。Chance和opportunity均表示机会，purpose表示目的，都与上下文不符。故选A。?
81.D。选项D. stick的意思是坚持工作。选项A和B均不可以和不定式to work搭配。turn to work 的意思是转而去做某种工作与上下文不符。?
82.A。its用以代替与其相离近期的名词occupation。?
83.C。选项C。 disregarding及后面的both the relatively small proportion of workers the professions and the extremely high educational and personal requirements的意思是既不考虑在这类职业范围中需要的职员较少，也不考虑其中对从业者的教育水平和个人需要都极高等问题。其它选项所表达的意思都与之相反。?
84.A。requirements指用人单位需要对从业者提出的能力需要，而不是preferences（偏爱），tendencies（趋势）等暂时的或主观的原因。?
85.D。选项D. no表示绝对否定。含义是决不是正当理由，符合上下文的需要。?
86.C。选项C. moreover表示进而，况且。上文说了选白领工作未必就好。本句则补充说了解领收入也未必高，故用moreover。?
87.B。依据句意：大部分人都得选择一般性的机械的非智商性的工作，又考虑与前半句中的a large proportion of jobs 对应，就只能选择B。?
88.D。在四个 选项中只有D. consideration 能讲的通。由于该句谓语为主动语态，符合句意。而其它三个选项（proposal，suggestion和appraisal）都应当是被给予的内容。?
89.D。选项D. out of的意思是由之中符合句意。?
90.C。本题是反向选择。本句的前半句讲有人想要强调需要安全，后半句则与之对应，讲另一些人则喜欢冒险。因此选C。
