D.Hisworkingattitude.解析B微小环节理解题。由其次段中的"However，afterjustafewmonths，Iwasletgoduetobudgetcuts"可知，仅仅几个月后，由于预算削减，作者被解雇了。由此可知，公司财务问题导致作者被第一家公司解雇，故选B项。3.Whydidtheauthorkeepintouchwithhiscolleagues？A.Hewantedthemnottogiveup.B.Hewantedtogetsupportfromthem.C.Hewantedtobebetterthanthem.D.Hewantedtoholdameetingwiththem.解析B推理推断题。由第六段中的"itwasn’tthesame...withoutthesupportofmyteam"可知，没有团队的支持，作者很难保持主动性，这说明同事对他是很重要的。再依据第七段中的"Withtheirhelpandencouragement，Iwasabletoadapttothenewenvironmentandexcelinmyrole"可知，在同事的帮助和激励下，作者适应了新环境并表现突出。故可推知，作者和同事保持联系是为了得到他们的支持，故选B项。4.Whichofthefollowingcanbestdescribetheauthor？A.Determined.

D.Generous.解析A推理推断题。文章围绕作者在纽约的工作阅历绽开描述：第一次，作者因为公司的预算削减而被解雇；作者重新找了工作，又因为公司改组而被解雇。但作者没有放弃，起先参与课程，进行自我提升。在新的工作中，作者联系同事，寻求支持和帮助，最终站稳了脚跟。由此可推知，作者是一个意志坚决的人，故选A项。二、七选五Sometimes，nomatterhowmucheffortyouputintopreparingforaninterview，somethinggoeswrong.Maybeyouwakeupwithaheadacheorcan’ttakeyourmindoffapressingpersonalmatter.1Luckily，youcanusesomestrategiestorecoverfromabadjobinterview.Giveyourselftime.Abadinterviewcanleaveyoufeelingupsetandbeatingyourselfup.Takesometimetoreflectontheexperience.2It’seasytobecomeconvincedthattheinterviewwentevenworsethanitactuallydid.Remember，thisisonlyoneopportunity，andtherewillbemore.3Onceyou’vespentsometimereviewingtheinterview，askyourselfifthereisanythingyoucanlearnfromyourmistakes.Didtheinterviewgopoorlybecauseyouwerelate？Wereyoutoostressed？Didyougiveawronganswertoacommoninterviewquestion？4Youcanpreparebetterforyournextinterview.Requestasecondchance.Noonewantstoruinaninterview，butemployersarehumanstooandunderstandthatpeoplehavebaddays.Ifyouthinkyou’veblownaninterview，don’tjustgiveup.Althoughthere’snosure-firesuccess，it’salwaysagoodideatosendathank-youemailafteryourinterview，anditcan’thurttoexplainintheemailwhyyouwereoffyourgame.5Evenifyoucan’tsaveaninterviewthatwentpoorly，therearethingsyoucandotohelpreducethestress.Takeadeepbreathandmoveontothenextopportunity.A.Lookforlessons.B.Admityourmistakes.C.However，don’tthinkaboutitfortoolong.D.Thenaskifthereisanywayyoucanmeetagain.E.Showingappreciationmaygiveapositiveimpression.F.Identifyingtheexactreasonhelpsyoufixtheproblem.G.Whateveritis，thecircumstancemayresultinapoorperformance.本文是说明文。面试失败后该怎么办？文章给出了几种帮助你从糟糕的面试中复原过来的策略。【词语积累】pressingadj.紧急的，急迫的；不容忽视的beatyourselfup过分自责sure-fireadj.必定胜利的offone’sgame状态不佳【熟词生义】blow常用义：v.刮，吹文中义：v.失去，搞砸（努力）1.G空前提到了有时候，不管你为面试做了多少打算，总会出问题。或许你醒来感到头痛，或者无法将你的留意力从一件紧迫的私人事务上转移开。空后提到了你可以用一些从糟糕的面试中复原过来的策略。由此可知，空处应与面试中的糟糕表现有关。G项"不管是什么，这种状况都可能导致糟糕的表现"与上下文联系紧密。2.C空前提到了一次糟糕的面试会让你感到懊丧和自责，花点时间反思一下这段阅历，空后提到（人们）很简洁认为面试比实际状况还要糟糕，故空处内容应与对面试的反思及其不良影响有关。C项"但是，不要考虑太久"与上文形成语意上的转折，空后内容说明白不要考虑太久的缘由。3.A空处是段落主题句。由"askyourselfifthereisanythingyoucanlearnfromyourmistakes"以及列举的三个问题可知，本段内容应与找出面试失败的缘由并从中吸取阅历教训有关。对比各段落的小标题可知，空处应为简短的祈使句，因此可将答案锁定在A项或B项。A项能更好地概括段落大意。4.F由空前的"Didtheinterviewgopoorlybecauseyouwerelate？Wereyoutoostressed？Didyougiveawronganswertoacommoninterviewquestion？"和空后提到的你可以更好地为下一场面试做打算可知，空处应涉及反思造成面试失败的缘由。F项"识别详细的缘由有助于你解决问题"与上下文语意连接紧密。5.D本段主要讲的是恳求其次次机会。依据空前内容可知，假如你认为自己搞砸了面试，不要放弃。在面试结束后发一封感谢信说明为什么你表现不佳。空处位于段尾，是对前文内容的总结，因此空处应与信件的内容有关。D项"然后问一下你们是否可以再见面"符合语境。三、完形填空DavePlayeristhefounderandCEOofTeamBRIT，acarracingteam.Hewantsto1histeamintheLeMans24hoursendurance（耐力）sportscarracein2024.Heexplains，"Ifyou’reanenduranceracer，you’llbe2tocompeteintherace.Attendingthisfamouseventisthe3ofeveryracingdriver."Iftheteamgains4totheworld’smostdemandingendurancerace，they’ll5thehistorybooksasthefirstall-disabledteamtodoso.Somedriverswith6havetakenpartinit，but7aswildcards（外卡选手）."Wedon’twantto8them，"Daveinsists."Wewanttocompeteona9playingfieldlikeothers，asastatementthatevenasdisabledracingdriverswe10ontheworldstage."DavesetupthecharityKartForcein2010asawayfor11retiredsoldierstousemotorsportforrecovery.HewentontostartTeamBRITin2015.TeammemberBobbyTrundle，whohas12himselftocarracingforyears，says，"Carracinghas13mylife.Mentally，it’slikerelaxationandalsoIdevelopdeep14fortheexcitement.WhenI’mbehindthewheel，myautism（自闭症）doesn’t15me.Infact，Iconsiderittobeasuperpowerofmine."本文主要讲解并描述了DavePlayer组建了一支特别的车队，带领残疾队员们参与各种竞赛，同时队员们也从中获益匪浅的故事。【熟词生义】apply常用义：v.运用，应用文中义：v.使留意力等集中于1.A.assist B.involve C.encourage D.land解析B上文提到DavePlayer是赛车队BRIT的创办者和执行董事；再结合下文的"histeaminthe...in2024"可知，此处应是说他想让他的车队参与2024年的勒芒24小时耐力赛。involve表示"（使）参与，加入"，符合语境。2.A.fortunate B.readyC.anxious D.unwilling解析C由下文的"Attendingthisfamous...everyracingdriver"可知，此处指假如你是赛车手，你会渴望参与勒芒24小时耐力赛，参与这一闻名赛事是每个赛车手的幻想。anxious表示"渴望，特别希望"，符合语境。3.A.destination B.resultC.reward D.dream解析D参见上题解析。dream幻想。4.A.admission B.exposureC.promotion D.reference解析A由语境可知，假如该队获得这项世界上要求最高的耐力赛的参赛资格的话，他们将作为第一支全是残疾人参赛的队伍被载入史册。admission表示"准许加入，加入权，进入权"，符合语境。exposure接触；promotion晋级，升级；reference提及，举荐信。【易错点拨】脱离语境——虽然promotion"晋级，升级"是竞赛中的常用词，但文中并未详细介绍勒芒24小时耐力赛的竞赛要求，且结合语境可知，此处只是在强调"参与"竞赛，故可解除C项。5.A.revise B.create C.enter D.keep解析C参见上题解析。enter进入。6.A.expectations B.disabilitiesC.ambition D.concern解析B由上文的"all-disabled"可知，此处表示有些残疾赛车手也参与了这项竞赛，但仅仅是以外卡选手的身份参与的。disability表示"（某种）缺陷，障碍"，符合语境。expectation期盼；ambition志向，雄心；concern担忧。7.A.obviou
