If you plan to start your career as a secretary, be aware that this job is undergoing tremendous 53．In offices where secretaries have not already been eliminated, the

54role of a clerk is now unrecognizable．Most bosses 55their own mails and meetings and travel plans, thanks to e-mail and the Internet, so secretaries are 56taking on higher-level tasks such as drafting contracts and handling customer service problems．Those willing to expand their 57should do well.

If you are a woman interested in law enforcement (执法), note that some states and cities are working hard to reach 58standards for female applicants．Although most small suburban police departments are deeply traditional, and some are 59even to employ woman, among the nation’s largest forces about 15 percent of the officers are female, five times as many as a generation ago.

Degrees in sports management are also 60．Two hundred U.S colleges and universities, 10 times as many in 1985, now 61undergraduate courses in sports management, and some have advanced degree programs．At some school you can also combine an MBA in sports management with a law degree.

答案解析：

大学毕业后，找什么工作呢？找何种类型的工作呢？你将来的工作将会如何呢？你该如何选择呢？文章告诉我们，这主要取决于你自己。

小题1:B　这里考查固定词组depend on，表示“依赖，取决于”，根据语境选B项。concentrate on表示“聚精会神于”；take on表示“呈现”；pass on表示“传递”；都与语境不符。

小题1:C　根据语意“比如说，你喜欢学习英语和历史……”，此处是在举例说明，故用for instance。by comparison表示“相比之下”；as a result表示“结果”；in return表示“作为回报，作为回应”。

小题1:A　从上下文可知，文科在培养(develop)批判性思维和解决问题的能力方面很重要。discourage表示“使……气馁”；/confirm/i表示“确认，确信”；appreciate表示“欣赏，感激”。

小题1:D　从句意可知，秘书的角色正在经历重大的变革(change)。

小题1:D　在办公室中，秘书的职位还没有消失，但传统的(traditional)秘书角色已经找不到了。从下一句中的“e­mail”和“the Internet”可知此处讲的是传统的秘书角色。

小题1:B　从上下文可知，很多老板现在都自己处理(handle)一些邮件、会议、旅行安排。await表示“等待”，transfer表示“转换”，classify表示“分类”都与语境不符。

小题1:A　所以现在的秘书正越来越多地从事更高要求的工作和任务，比如起草合同，处理客服问题。此处increasingly表示“不断地，越来越多地”。unwillingly表示“不愿意地”；diligently表示“勤奋地”；intentionally表示“故意地，有意地”。

小题1:A　从上下文可知，句意表示“那些乐意扩大视野(horizons)的人能够做得很好”。

小题1:C　很多州和市正在努力争取在雇用女性方面达到公平的(fair)标准。

小题1:C　虽然有些郊区的警察部门传统观念浓厚，有些甚至不乐意(reluctant)雇用女性，但就全国而言，女性在这些部门占有的比例已经达到15%了。

小题1:D　从下文可知，此处表示“体育管理方面的学位量也在增加”。on display表示“在展出中”；at an end表示“结束”；at rest表示“休息”。

小题1:B　此处表示“现在美国有200所大学能提供(offer)体育管理类课程”。

小题1:C　最后(Finally)，如果你把视线转向传统MBA课程的话，要小心了。

小题1:A　MBA薪水的增加确实有竞争力(competitive)，但钱并不是所有MBA所关心的东西了。

小题1:B　最近对将近1, 800位MBA学生的调查发现，有68%的人认同(agree with)“家庭远比事业重要”。give out表示“分发，耗尽”；wonder about表示“琢磨”；focus on表示“关注”。
