Part ⅣCloze(15 minutes)
Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of an71          should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually,72          , most people make several job choices during their working lives,73          because of economic and industrial change and partly to improve74          positions. The “one perfect job” does not exist. Young people should75          enter into a broad flexible training program that will76          them for a field of work rather than for a single77          .
Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans78         benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing79          about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss80          . Some drift from job to job. Others81          to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not flitted.
One common mistake is choosing an occupation for82          real or imagined prestiges. Too many high-school students—or their parents for them—choose the professional field, 83          both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal84          . The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a “whitecollar” job is85          good reason for choosing it as a life’s work. 86          , these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the87          of young people should give serious88           to these fields.
Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants89          life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take90          for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.

Part Ⅴ Writing
Overseas study at an Early Age
Nowadays more and more parents are eager to send their children to study abroad before they finish high school by whatever means and at whatever cost.
It is quite understandable for parents to send their children to study overseas because they place high expectations on their children. They are encouraged by the success stories of those who have completed their overseas study. With the development of economy, companies and institutions at home are giving more and more emphasis on overseas experiences, too.
Consequently, pursuing overseas study became a kind of short cut in gaining a better future. Moreover, there is still one underlying reason for this rush-economic reason. The rapid economic progress in the past few years in China has enabled more and more parents to afford the huge cost for their children’s overseas study.
As for me, overseas study is surely a helpful way to get both advanced knowledge and necessary experiences, but overseas study at an early age is neither necessary nor beneficial. The students may be too young to either tend for themselves or think for themselves. I do think that overseas study can contribute to one’s
self—improvement, but it’s better to be pursued after one has finished his college study at home, when he is more capable of learning and living on his own.
