一、任务型阅读。
阅读下面短文，从A—E中选出适当的选项填在横线上，并回答第5小题。有一项多余。
There are many kinds of jobs in the world. 1.
Finding a job is not the same as choosing a job. Many young people end up in a job which they aren't suitable（合适的）for. Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs you might enjoy doing after school or university.
First, it is important to know what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you're interested in. 2. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.
Then ask yourself this question: In the following three areas—skills with people, skills with information and skills with things—which are your best skills?
After examining（检验）your skills, the next step is to study. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, you can go to the library. 3.
Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! 4.
A. There is a difference between an interest and a skill.
B. Decision is more important than chance.
C. Choosing the right one itself difficult job.
D. You can also ask your friends about the work they want to do.
E. It's your own life, so find something that you really enjoy doing.
5. What do you want to be when you grow up? How are you going to achieve it?（回答15词左右）

1. C
2. A
3. D
4. E
5. 示例：I want to be an English teacher, I will study hard and practice English every day.

1. 空前句提到世界上有很多种工作，空后介绍很多年轻人会选到不适合自己的工作，进而引出选工作的相关方法，C选项“选择合适的工作本身就是一项难事”可以自然衔接上下文，符合语境。
2. 空后内容分别举例解释了什么是兴趣、什么是技能，A选项“兴趣和技能之间存在区别”正好引出下文对二者的区分说明，逻辑通顺。
3. 空前句提到可以去图书馆了解尽可能多的不同工作，D选项“你也可以询问朋友他们想要从事的工作”是并列的另一种了解工作的途径，衔接合理。
4. 空前句强调要相信自己的想法和思考，E选项“这是你自己的人生，所以去找到你真正喜欢做的事”呼应段落主旨，符合逻辑。
5. 本题为开放性试题，回答出自己的理想职业和对应的实现计划，词数符合15词左右的要求即可。
