The Challenges of Starting a Career after Graduation
Nowadays the employment of college graduates has become a hot topic in the society. The majority of students find it not that easy to get themselves adapt to the workplace when they first start their career, and the challenges they confront are multi-faceted.
According to statistics, living and working independently become a headache for graduates fresh out of school. The reason is that students have already got used to the way teachers and families are there to support whenever they are in need of help. While in work field, there is no mentor who would take their hands and teach them. What’ s more, for graduates who work and dwell outside the hometown, they have to do all the household chores including sweeping the floor, washing clothes, cooking and so on. Apart from these, college graduates need to learn how to deal with interpersonal relationship in the workplace, which is much more sophisticated and complex compared with that on campus.
All in all, graduates should hold a positive attitude towards these challenges and try their best to learn as much as possible. Only through these ways can they overcome the obstacles in work and have a brighter future.

2.【C1】
I
解析：空格前是疑问词how many和形容词different，因此空格处应填入可数名词复数。结合句意，“不管我试了多少种不同的，我还是摆脱不了咳嗽”。由此可推断，空格处应为治疗咳嗽的方法，备选项中只有remedies(治疗方法，解决办法)符合句意，故答案为I。
3.【C2】
D
解析：从句子结构来看，空格位于not only引导的倒装句中，助动词did前置，it是主语，空格后是名词短语my teaching，因此空格处应填入动词原形，与did一起构成倒装句的谓语。结合句意，“它(咳嗽)不仅给我的教学工作而且给我的整个生活”。由此可推断，咳嗽给“我”的教学和生活带来了麻烦。备选项中只有inconvenience(给……带来不便，添麻烦)符合句意，故答案为D。
4.【C3】
H
解析：从句子结构来看，空格前是动词短语came up to me和连词and，空格后是名词短语traditional Chinese medicine，因此空格处应填入动词过去式，与came up并列，一起构成句子的谓语。结合句意，“然后一天下课后，一个学生来找我，并向我了中医”。下文提到，根据这位学生的描述，中医听起来好像有神奇的力量，能产生奇迹。由此可推断，学生出于对老师的关心，向老师推荐了中医疗法治咳嗽。备选项中只有recommended(推荐，介绍)符合句意，故答案为H。
