22、细节理解题。题干关键词为internship，题干中的seek对应原文中的pursue。根据第一段第三句中的itwasdifficulttofindapositionconsideringmyinexperience可知，考虑到自己经验不足，找份工作有点难，所以作者决定找一份实习的工作。故选D项。2B解析：推理判断题。由第二段的描述可知，作者找他的导师的原因有两个，其中之一是这位导师在公共关系领域经验丰富；再结合第一段的描述可知，作者自己缺乏经验，也就是说，他的导师可以帮助他。故选B项。3C解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的.applyalltheskillsIwaslearninginthe
