10．The best job in the world？
Chocolate consultant
This could well be the best job for anyone with even the （51）C passion for chocolate-and yes，jobs like these really do exist．There are lots of different types of chocolate consultant．Louise Thomas has worked in the chocolate industry for two years and has been （52）D about chocolate．She became （53）B by the lack of education and awareness regarding fine chocolate，so started her own company to share her love of the cocoa bean．She now runs tastings to find a（n） （54）A chocolate for every customer or to extend their range．If you don't yet have what it takes to be a chocolate consultant，you can still work with chocolate as a pastry chef．
LEGO （55）D
Who hasn't at some point in their life sat down in front of a box of Lego and （56）B building （or helping someone else to build） a fantastic creation in multi-coloured blocks？For some people this becomes more than just something you did as a kid．Lego has a number of（57）A who work with the company to create sets and build models for them．They work against fairly tight budgets and thematic restrictions，and are based in Legoland Discovery Centres around the world．However，competition for the jobs is （58）A，with estimates varying as to exactly how many there are in the world-from 9to 30．The latest one to get a job was 23-year-old Andrew Johnson，and then competed in a tough three-round build-off，（59）B 45other competitors．If you love childhood toys but don't fancy building them，why not consider working in a toy shop？
Shark tank cleaner
Window cleaning is probably not the most fun of professions．However，add in the requirement to share your job with a lot of sharks while simultaneously （同時地） （60）C by a crowd of people，all of whom are no doubt secretly hoping at least one of the sharks is feeling a little hungry，and suddenly the （61）B levels rise up a level or two．However，if you want to work with fish，perhaps the job would be a good choice．
Professional sleeper
（62）C you're addicted to your alarm o'clock or spend all day at your desk yawning and drinking cups of coffee to stay awake，then maybe you should consider turning your comments into a profitable career．Believe it or not，you can actually get paid to wear the pajamas．（63）D，these professional sleepers participate in a lot of university studies on sleep or dreams，etc．to decide whether the beds are comfortable or not．In 2009during an art show at The New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York，women were paid to sleep as part of a"living art"exhibition，so you never know （64）C you could be asked to rest your head next．If you enjoy your sleep，you probably want to （65）A jobs that lead to sleep withdrawal．

分析 本文主要介紹了四個世界上最好的工作．它們分別是：1、巧克力顧問--任何人都可以從事的工作；2、樂高建筑師--一份夢幻的工作，為孩子建多彩的建筑模型；3、鯊魚池清潔者--不是一個有趣的職業(yè)；4、專業(yè)睡眠者--一份讓人充分享受睡眠的工作．

解答 51．C語境辨析．空格處語意為"對任何人來說，這很可能是最好的工作，即使是對巧克力有最少的熱情的人"．因此為"smallest"．故選C．
52．D形容詞辨析．聯(lián)系下文可知，Louise Thomas很喜歡巧克力．空格處語意為"Louise Thomas在巧克力行業(yè)干了兩年，一直熱愛巧克力"．passionate表示"熱情的，熱愛的"．故選D．
53．B形容詞辨析．空格處語意為"她因缺乏良好的巧克力教育和意識而感到沮喪"．frustrated表示"挫敗的，沮喪的"．故選B．
54．A語境辨析．空格處語意為"她正在經(jīng)營品嘗會，為每一位客戶尋找特別的巧克力"．因此為particular．故選A．
55．D聯(lián)系下文辨析．后文的關(guān)鍵詞是"building"--"建筑"．因此答案為building．故選D．
56．B動詞短語辨析．A．taken up占用；B．set about著手；C．given off發(fā)出；D．got in到達(dá)．句意：誰不想著手建一個有多彩色塊的奇異建筑．故選B．

59．B詞義辨析．A．cooperating with配合；B．beating擊敗；C．discussing with與…討論；D．encouraging鼓勵．句意：在三輪比賽中競爭，擊敗了其他45個競爭者．故選B．
60．C語境辨析．空格處語意為"和鯊魚一起分享工作的同時，可以被一群人觀看"．因此為watched．故選C．
61．B語境辨析．前文講到人們內(nèi)心偷偷希望在鯊魚中至少有一個是感覺有點餓．由此推知，空格處語意為"人們突然的興趣水平達(dá)到一個或兩個級別"．因此為interest．故選B．
62．C連詞辨析．空格處語意為"如果你依賴你的鬧鐘或整天在你的桌子上打哈欠和喝杯咖啡保持清醒，或許你應(yīng)該考慮換一個有利可圖的職業(yè)"．因此為If．故選C．
63．D副詞辨析．A．Rarely很少地；B．Contrarily反之；C．Consequently因此；D．Typically典型地．句意：典型地，這些專業(yè)的睡眠者參加了很多關(guān)于睡眠或夢的大學(xué)研究，最后的結(jié)果決定了床的舒適與否．故選D．

4．This summer，Monika Lutz's life took an unusual turn．Instead of heading off to college，the high school graduate packed her bags for a Bengali jungle．Lutz，like a growing number of other young Americans，is taking a year off．Gap（間隔） years  are quite common in Britain and Australia，but they are just beginning to catch on in the U．S．Lutz，who grew up in Boulder，Colo．，has put together a 14-month schedule that includes helping deliver solar power to some communities in India and interning （實習(xí)） for a fashion designer in Shanghai---experiences that are worlds away from the lecture halls and university dormitories that await other students．"I could not be happier，"she says．
 Why are students attracted to the gap-year concept？According to new survey data from Karl Haigler and Rae Nelson，education-policy experts and co-authors of The Gap-Year Advantage，the most common reason for this is to avoid burnout．"I felt like I was focused on college as a means to an end，"says Kelsi Morgan，an incoming Middlebury College freshman who spent last year interning for a judge in Tulsa，Okla．，and teaching English at an orphanage in the Dominican Republic．The hope is that after a year out of the classroom，students will enter college more energized，focused and mature．That can be an advantage for colleges too．Robert Clagett，dean of admissions at Middlebury，did some research a few years ago and found that a single gap semester was the strongest predictor of academic success at his school．
 Most experts recommend securing a spot in college before taking a gap year and warn against using the time off to lengthen your resume．"Most admissions folks can see right through that，"says Jim Jump，the academic dean of St．Christopher's School in Richmond，Va．But for students like Lutz，who，after getting rejected from five Ivies，decided to take time off，a gap year can help focus interests．Lutz now plans to apply mostly to non-Ivies that have strong marketing programs．"This experience has really opened my eyes to the opportunities the world has to offer，"she says．
 But at least one education expert doesn't want schools spreading the gap-year message．In a study that followed 11，000 members of the high school class of 1992 for eight years after graduation，Stefanie DeLuca，a sociology professor at Johns Hopkins University，found that，all things being equal，those who delayed college by a year were 64% less likely to complete a bachelor's degree than those who didn't．DeLuca did not say whether these students voluntarily started college late，but at the very least，her work indicates that taking a gap year doesn't guarantee success．"I'm not going to say that time off does not have benefits，"says DeLuca．"But I think we should not be so enthusiastic．"
67．The students take gap years mainly becauseB．
A．they want to be more unusual   
B．they want to refresh themselves 
C．some experts advise them to do so  
D．their parents think it good for them
68．According to Lutz，the gap year has made her moreC
A．energetic      B．relaxed  C．practical   D．enthusiastic
69．Stefanie DeLuca probably agrees thatA．
A．students should think twice before taking gap years
B．taking gap years enables students to achieve success
C．schools should encourage their students to take gap years
D．taking gap years increases students'chances of getting a good job
70．What's the author's attitude towards gap years？D
A．Sceptical．B．Positive．C．Disapproving．D．Objective．
