B.Financialproblems.C.Beingshortofskills. D.Hisworkingattitude.解析B微小環(huán)節(jié)理解題。由其次段中的"However，afterjustafewmonths，Iwasletgoduetobudgetcuts"可知，僅僅幾個月后，由于預算削減，作者被解雇了。由此可知，公司財務問題導致作者被第一家公司解雇，故選B項。3.Whydidtheauthorkeepintouchwithhiscolleagues？A.Hewantedthemnottogiveup.B.Hewantedtogetsupportfromthem.C.Hewantedtobebetterthanthem.D.Hewantedtoholdameetingwiththem.解析B推理推斷題。由第六段中的"itwasn’tthesame...withoutthesupportofmyteam"可知，沒有團隊的支持，作者很難保持主動性，這說明同事對他是很重要的。再依據(jù)第七段中的"Withtheirhelpandencouragement，Iwasabletoadapttothenewenvironmentandexcelinmyrole"可知，在同事的幫助和激勵下，作者適應了新環(huán)境并表現(xiàn)突出。故可推知，作者和同事保持聯(lián)系是為了得到他們的支持，故選B項。4.Whichofthefollowingcanbestdescribetheauthor？A.Determined. B.Modest.C.Imaginative. D.Generous.解析A推理推斷題。文章圍繞作者在紐約的工作閱歷綻開描述：第一次，作者因為公司的預算削減而被解雇；作者重新找了工作，又因為公司改組而被解雇。但作者沒有放棄，起先參與課程，進行自我提升。在新的工作中，作者聯(lián)系同事，尋求支持和幫助，最終站穩(wěn)了腳跟。由此可推知，作者是一個意志堅決的人，故選A項。二、七選五Sometimes，nomatterhowmucheffortyouputintopreparingforaninterview，somethinggoeswrong.Maybeyouwakeupwithaheadacheorcan’ttakeyourmindoffapressingpersonalmatter.1Luckily，youcanusesomestrategiestorecoverfromabadjobinterview.Giveyourselftime.Abadinterviewcanleaveyoufeelingupsetandbeatingyourselfup.Takesometimetoreflectontheexperience.2It’seasytobecomeconvincedthattheinterviewwentevenworsethanitactuallydid.Remember，thisisonlyoneopportunity，andtherewillbemore.3Onceyou’vespentsometimereviewingtheinterview，askyourselfifthereisanythingyoucanlearnfromyourmistakes.Didtheinterviewgopoorlybecauseyouwerelate？Wereyoutoostressed？Didyougiveawronganswertoacommoninterviewquestion？4Youcanpreparebetterforyournextinterview.Requestasecondchance.Noonewantstoruinaninterview，butemployersarehumanstooandunderstandthatpeoplehavebaddays.Ifyouthinkyou’veblownaninterview，don’tjustgiveup.Althoughthere’snosure-firesuccess，it’salwaysagoodideatosendathank-youemailafteryourinterview，anditcan’thurttoexplainintheemailwhyyouwereoffyourgame.5Evenifyoucan’tsaveaninterviewthatwentpoorly，therearethingsyoucandotohelpreducethestress.Takeadeepbreathandmoveontothenextopportunity.A.Lookforlessons.B.Admityourmistakes.C.However，don’tthinkaboutitfortoolong.D.Thenaskifthereisanywayyoucanmeetagain.E.Showingappreciationmaygiveapositiveimpression.F.Identifyingtheexactreasonhelpsyoufixtheproblem.G.Whateveritis，thecircumstancemayresultinapoorperformance.本文是說明文。面試失敗后該怎么辦？文章給出了幾種幫助你從糟糕的面試中復原過來的策略。【詞語積累】pressingadj.緊急的，急迫的；不容忽視的beatyourselfup過分自責sure-fireadj.必定勝利的offone’sgame狀態(tài)不佳【熟詞生義】blow常用義：v.刮，吹文中義：v.失去，搞砸（努力）1.G空前提到了有時候，不管你為面試做了多少打算，總會出問題?；蛟S你醒來感到頭痛，或者無法將你的留意力從一件緊迫的私人事務上轉(zhuǎn)移開。空后提到了你可以用一些從糟糕的面試中復原過來的策略。由此可知，空處應與面試中的糟糕表現(xiàn)有關(guān)。G項"不管是什么，這種狀況都可能導致糟糕的表現(xiàn)"與上下文聯(lián)系緊密。2.C空前提到了一次糟糕的面試會讓你感到懊喪和自責，花點時間反思一下這段閱歷，空后提到（人們）很簡潔認為面試比實際狀況還要糟糕，故空處內(nèi)容應與對面試的反思及其不良影響有關(guān)。C項"但是，不要考慮太久"與上文形成語意上的轉(zhuǎn)折，空后內(nèi)容說明白不要考慮太久的緣由。3.A空處是段落主題句。由"askyourselfifthereisanythingyoucanlearnfromyourmistakes"以及列舉的三個問題可知，本段內(nèi)容應與找出面試失敗的緣由并從中吸取閱歷教訓有關(guān)。對比各段落的小標題可知，空處應為簡短的祈使句，因此可將答案鎖定在A項或B項。A項能更好地概括段落大意。4.F由空前的"Didtheinterviewgopoorlybecauseyouwerelate？Wereyoutoostressed？Didyougiveawronganswertoacommoninterviewquestion？"和空后提到的你可以更好地為下一場面試做打算可知，空處應涉及反思造成面試失敗的緣由。F項"識別詳細的緣由有助于你解決問題"與上下文語意連接緊密。5.D本段主要講的是懇求其次次機會。依據(jù)空前內(nèi)容可知，假如你認為自己搞砸了面試，不要放棄。在面試結(jié)束后發(fā)一封感謝信說明為什么你表現(xiàn)不佳。空處位于段尾，是對前文內(nèi)容的總結(jié)，因此空處應與信件的內(nèi)容有關(guān)。D項"然后問一下你們是否可以再見面"符合語境。三、完形填空DavePlayeristhefounderandCEOofTeamBRIT，acarracingteam.Hewantsto1histeamintheLeMans24hoursendurance（耐力）sportscarracein2024.Heexplains，"Ifyou’reanenduranceracer，you’llbe2tocompeteintherace.Attendingthisfamouseventisthe3ofeveryracingdriver."Iftheteamgains4totheworld’smostdemandingendurancerace，they’ll5thehistorybooksasthefirstall-disabledteamtodoso.Somedriverswith6havetakenpartinit，but7aswildcards（外卡選手）."Wedon’twantto8them，"Daveinsists."Wewanttocompeteona9playingfieldlikeothers，asastatementthatevenasdisabledracingdriverswe10ontheworldstage."DavesetupthecharityKartForcein2010asawayfor11retiredsoldierstousemotorsportforrecovery.HewentontostartTeamBRITin2015.TeammemberBobbyTrundle，whohas12himselftocarracingforyears，says，"Carracinghas13mylife.Mentally，it’slikerelaxationandalsoIdevelopdeep14fortheexcitement.WhenI’mbehindthewheel，myautism（自閉癥）doesn’t15me.Infact，Iconsiderittobeasuperpowerofmine."本文主要講解并描述了DavePlayer組建了一支特別的車隊，帶領(lǐng)殘疾隊員們參與各種競賽，同時隊員們也從中獲益匪淺的故事?！臼煸~生義】apply常用義：v.運用，應用文中義：v.使留意力等集中于1.A.assist B.involve C.encourage D.land解析B上文提到DavePlayer是賽車隊BRIT的創(chuàng)辦者和執(zhí)行董事；再結(jié)合下文的"histeaminthe...in2024"可知，此處應是說他想讓他的車隊參與2024年的勒芒24小時耐力賽。involve表示"（使）參與，加入"，符合語境。2.A.fortunate B.readyC.anxious D.unwilling解析C由下文的"Attendingthisfamous...everyracingdriver"可知，此處指假如你是賽車手，你會渴望參與勒芒24小時耐力賽，參與這一聞名賽事是每個賽車手的幻想。anxious表示"渴望，特別希望"，符合語境。3.A.destination B.resultC.reward D.dream解析D參見上題解析。dream幻想。4.A.admission B.exposureC.promotion D.reference解析A由語境可知，假如該隊獲得這項世界上要求最高的耐力賽的參賽資格的話，他們將作為第一支全是殘疾人參賽的隊伍被載入史冊。admission表示"準許加入，加入權(quán)，進入權(quán)"，符合語境。exposure接觸；promotion晉級，升級；reference提及，舉薦信。【易錯點撥】脫離語境——雖然promotion"晉級，升級"是競賽中的常用詞，但文中并未詳細介紹勒芒24小時耐力賽的競賽要求，且結(jié)合語境可知，此處只是在強調(diào)"參與"競賽，故可解除C項。5.A.revise B.create C.enter D.keep解析C參見上題解析。enter進入。6.A.expectations B.disabilitiesC.ambition D.concern解析B由上文的"all-disabled"可知，此處表示有些殘疾賽車手也參與了這項競賽，但僅僅是以外卡選手的身份參與的。disability表示"（某種）缺陷，障礙"，符合語境。expectation期盼；ambition志向，雄心；concern擔憂。7.A.obviou
