【解析】語(yǔ)篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。文章敘述了我兒時(shí)的一位老師Virginia DeView引導(dǎo)學(xué)生從小就尋找自己的職業(yè)方向。多年之后當(dāng)我初涉職場(chǎng)時(shí)真的就選擇了自己曾經(jīng)見(jiàn)習(xí)過(guò)的職業(yè)——新聞?dòng)浾摺?/span>

【1】 根據(jù)空前的“Our professions？We were only 13 and 14 years old！”可知，學(xué)生們認(rèn)為老師一定是“瘋了”

【2】 由文章第一句中的“discover our professions”可知應(yīng)選C。

【3】 根據(jù)19空后面的“interview a trueblue newspaper reporter”可知選A，即老師讓他們先采訪他們職業(yè)領(lǐng)域內(nèi)的某個(gè)人，然后再給出口頭報(bào)告。

【4】 我選擇了報(bào)刊業(yè)新聞工作，這種職業(yè)就意味著我要采訪一位敬業(yè)的報(bào)社記者。mean“意味著”。

【5】 根據(jù)后面的對(duì)話可以看出，我當(dāng)時(shí)非常緊張，所以應(yīng)該選擇A項(xiàng)，hardly“幾乎不”，即“我坐在他面前緊張得連話都說(shuō)不出來(lái)了”。

【6】 23空后的“never go anywhere without a pen and paper”有提示。

【7】 前文交代了我?guī)缀跽f(shuō)不出話了，所以此處應(yīng)該是“最后，我想他意識(shí)到了我當(dāng)時(shí)害怕(terrified)極了”。

【8】 第三段的第二句中的“journalism”以及25空后面等處都有提示。故選B。

【9】 幾天之后我在課堂上完全憑記憶做了口頭匯報(bào)。from memory“憑記憶”。

【10】 Virginia DeView老師和13歲時(shí)想成為記者當(dāng)然都是我記憶中的事情了，所以選擇C。

【11】 根據(jù)“They just reminded me how competitive the field was...”這一句可知，父母并沒(méi)有“阻止”我。

【12】 這是由and連接的兩個(gè)并列的賓語(yǔ)從句，句意為“……我一生中是如何不得不躲避競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的�！惫蕬�(yīng)選how。

【13】 此處的It與其前一句中“it was in my blood”的it同指journalism。記者工作可以使我自由地走向完全陌生的人，并詢問(wèn)發(fā)生了什么事情。

【14】 見(jiàn)上題解析。go on“發(fā)生，進(jìn)行”，符合語(yǔ)境。

【15】 此時(shí)我已經(jīng)是記者了，所以應(yīng)用cover，表示“報(bào)道”。

【16】 最后，我選擇了我最拿手的領(lǐng)域。finally“最后，最終”，符合語(yǔ)境。

【17】 有一天當(dāng)我拿起電話的時(shí)候，突然想起來(lái)很多往事，要不是Virginia DeView，我現(xiàn)在就不會(huì)坐在那個(gè)書桌前。when表示“當(dāng)……時(shí)”，符合語(yǔ)境。

【18】 見(jiàn)上題解析。had it not been for sb.＝if it had not been for sb.表示“要不是某人”，是含有虛擬語(yǔ)氣的條件狀語(yǔ)。

【19】 總是有人問(wèn)我：“您是怎樣選擇了記者這一職業(yè)的？”故選D。

【20】 我只是希望我能夠感謝我的老師Virginia DeView。
