【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章為大學(xué)畢業(yè)生提供了一些實用的建議，有助于在第一份工作中取得成功。

【1】本句為第一段的最后一句，有啟示下文的作用，結(jié)合后文主要說明了一些工作當(dāng)中的建議，可知D選項“這里有一些實用的建議，可以幫助你在第一份工作中取得成功”符合上下文語境，故選D。

【2】根據(jù)上文Do not miss work time. If it’s absolutely necessary, work from home if possible.可知不要錯過工作時間。如果有必要，盡可能在家工作。由此可知，作者是在建議用在家的時間來工作，從而趕上工作進度。故F選項“當(dāng)你回家后，你也可以投入額外的時間來趕上”符合上下文語境，故選F。

【3】根據(jù)后文If you have time, help other co-workers when they are in trouble with their projects, but only after discussing with your leader and making sure there isn’t anything else he would need you to do.可知如果你有時間，在其他同事在項目中遇到困難時幫助他們，但前提是與你的上司討論并確保他沒有其他需要你做的事情。由此可知，本段是在建議在工作中主動去幫助自己的同事。故A選項“主動幫助他人”符合上下文語境，故選A。

【4】結(jié)合上文Keep in touch with all those people, like those who recommended you to your workplace.可知和那些推薦你去工作的人保持聯(lián)系。由此可知，本句承接上文繼續(xù)說明那些推薦你去工作的人，幫助你獲得了這份工作，會給你更多的建議。上文中those people, like those who recommended you可對應(yīng)到C選項中they。故C選項“他們幫助你獲得了這份工作”符合上下文語境，故選C。

【5】結(jié)合上文You’ll only have one first job, so make the most of it.可知，你只有一份第一份工作，所以要充分利用它。由此可知，本句承接上文說明自己第一份工作的重要性。故G選項“你將為一個令人興奮和成功的長期職業(yè)生涯打下基礎(chǔ)”符合上下文語境，故選G。

七選五的解題技巧之一是根據(jù)上下文詞匯來鎖定線索。即：要關(guān)注空白前后的名詞和動詞，然后在選項中查找它們的近義詞、反義詞、同義詞、同類詞等。其次是一些專有名詞，比如說數(shù)詞、代詞、時間、年代、地點/名稱等。如第四小題，結(jié)合上文Keep in touch with all those people, like those who recommended you to your workplace.可知和那些推薦你去工作的人保持聯(lián)系。由此可知，本句承接上文繼續(xù)說明那些推薦你去工作的人，幫助你獲得了這份工作，會給你更多的建議。上文中those people, like those who recommended you可對應(yīng)到C選項中they。故C選項“他們幫助你獲得了這份工作”符合上下文語境，故選C。
