Question

17．The worst time to look for a job is when you must have a new one immediately．Job Searching under pressure often results in nervous interviewing and decision-making from rela-tively few options．If you are not in need of an immediate career change，here are ways you can improve your long-term career prospects （前景） today：
Identify at least two different roles．You do not have to be qualified for these positions today，nor do they have to exist in your company．However，these roles should be related to your current skill set．They are career options that look interesting．Once you have a couple of targets，think about why and what interests you．Pay close attention to what appeals to you，and write it down．This will give insight into your motivations and targets．
Subscribe to a career specific magazine．Knowledge is power in the workplace．All busi-nesses must stay relevant to their customers in order to win the competitions and increase revenue（收益）．Reading about industry trends，advancements and success stories keeps you in touch with market conditions．This information allows you to see which companies and professionals are leading the peck．You can follow their examples in your own workplace．If you associate with those that stand out from the rest，you are likely to find yourself with better opportunities．
Do exceptional work．In any role，there is a way to perform at your best．Look for ways to deliver a top performance．Show up early，be flexible to new assignments，have a positive attitude，cooperate with other departments，pay attention to the little details．
Be professionally curious．Talk to people about their careers．Learn more about how success is measured in other roles，departments and companies．Ask people their thoughts on different industries．Challenge yourself to expand your business knowledge through interactions with people at regular time．People hire people．You never know what connections may be relevant when you start your next job search，so develop a habit of making good connections no matter where you go．Take the time to learn about others，and be helpful when you can．
As in all things in life，getting in front of a difficult task early is always less stressful than reacting to a career surprise．Changing jobs is to be expected．No matter how secure you feel today，the time will come when either you or your employer decide it is time to change．

Answer 1

分析 文章大意：如何提高你得職業前景．

解答 71．causes，考查動詞，根據第一段Job Searching under pressure often results in nervous interviewing and decision-making from rela-tively few options，這個句子里的results in 和cause意思一樣．
72．something/much，考查搭配，根據第二段 these roles should be related to your current skill set．在此句中be related to 相當于have something to do with"與…有關"．
73．interested．考查形容詞，根據第二段：Pay close attention to what appeals to you，此句中appeal to有和make you interested意思一樣．
74．competitive/powerful/successful，考查形容詞，根據第二段Knowledge is power in the workplace．All busi-nesses must stay relevant to their customers in order to win the competitions and increase revenue（收益）．在工作場所知識就是力量，為了贏得比賽和增加收入所有企業必須保持他們的客戶的關系，可知知識會讓你有競爭力/強大/成功．
75．possible/probably/likely 考查副詞，根據第二段If you associate with those that stand out from the rest，you are likely to find yourself with better opportunities．此句中are likely to 意思相當于possible/probably/likely．
76．inoring/overlooking/overlooking  考查動名詞，根據第三段pay attention to the little details．此句中pay attention to 意思為關注，也就是"不忽視"．并且放在without后面．所以用inoring/overlooking/overlooking．
77．measure，考查動詞，根據倒數第二段Learn more about how success is measured in other roles，departments and companies．此句中how success is measured 其主動句為how people （77）measuresuccess．
78．regularly/often/frequently，考查副詞，根據倒數第二段Challenge yourself to expand your business knowledge through interactions with people at regular time．此句中 at regular time相當于regularly/often/frequently．
79．stress/pressure，考查名詞，根據最后一段As in all things in life，getting in front of a difficult task early is always less stressful than reacting to a career surprise．"提前面對一項艱巨的任務總是比面對職業驚喜要少些壓力"可知Facing hard tasks early can help reduce your （79）stress/pressure．
80．unavoidable考查形容詞，根據最后一段Changing jobs is to be expected．此句中 to be expected可以用unavoidable來代替．
