词汇理解
Passion is an important factor to consider when choosing a job, but it\’s not the only factor. Let\’s consider the question: Should you make your career your passion, or find a job that【C1】________you to spend time on it outside of work?
First, the latter option can be less【C2】________, Before making it a full-time job, you can dip your toes in the water by joining a club or taking a class to test out what pursuing your passion is like. Taking this approach gives you more【C3】________to explore a passion that you might be nervous about committing to as a career, since you\’re free from the pressure to turn it into your【C4】________.
In addition, drawing a line between what you love and what you do can help you build healthy【C5】________between your work and personal lives, and allow you to build and become a part of communities who【C6】________your interests. You can get to know like-minded people who might give you better insight into what your day-to-day would look like if you【C7】________do decide to make your passion your job.
There are other benefits to keeping work and passion【C8】________. Some researches suggest that transforming hobbies into work could undermine your enjoyment of these activities, as your interest gets gradually destroyed by the pursuit of external rewards like compensation. This may be particularly true for【C9】________passions, such as writing, painting, or music. Your passion(s) might also【C10】________over time, so you may not want to lock into a career path based solely on your current interest.
Passions can define us as individuals, helping to make our lives satisfying and meaningful. But passion doesn\’t necessarily have to define our work. Those who pursue passion outside of work often find that those personal interests energize them to go to work and do their jobs well.
A) evolve F) forces K) occasionally
B) allows G) creative L) risky
C) possible H) boundaries M) ultimately
D) livelihood I) separate N) habit
E) freedom J) burden O) share
1.【C1】
B
解析：空格处位于that引导的定语从句中，从句的主语是that，谓语是________，宾语是you，且主句为一般现在时，因此空格处应为动词第三人称单数形式（v-s）。空格所在句意为“让我们考虑一下这个问题：你应该让你的职业成为你的兴趣，还是找一份工作，________你在工作之余花时间在兴趣上面？”。or用于连接两种选择，or之前为“让你的职业成为兴趣”，由此可推断出or之后应为“将工作和兴趣分开”，即在工作之余追求兴趣，因此空格处所填词汇应与“允许，使”意思相近。根据词性归类，动词中只有B项allows“允许，准许”符合句意。故本题选B。
2.【C2】
L
解析：空格处位于主系表结构中，主语为the latter option，系动词为can be，表语为less________，less一般修饰形容词或不可数名词，因此空格处应为形容词（a.）或不可数名词（n.）。空格所在句意为“首先，后一种选择风险较________”。由上文可知，the latter option“后一种选择”指的是find a job that allows you to spend time on it outside of work“找一份工作，允许你在工作之余花时间在兴趣上面”，结合下文Before making it a full-time job，you can dip your toes in the water joining a club or taking a class to what pursing your passion is like（在把兴趣当成全职工作之前，你可以……加入一个俱乐部或者参加一个课程进行尝试，……追求兴趣的生活是什么样子），可见后一种选择比较稳妥，空格前有less修饰，因此空格处所填词汇应与“不稳妥，危险”意思相近。根据词性归类，名词均不符合句意，形容词中只有L项risky“有风险的，有危险的”符合句意。故本题选L。
3.【C3】
E
解析：空格所在句主谓宾结构完整，主语为Taking this approach，谓语为gives，间接宾语为you，more________作gives的直接宾语，构成give sb. sth. 的结构，因此空格处应为名词（n.）。空格所在句意为“采取这种方法可以给你更多的________，去探索那个你不敢当作职业全身心投入的兴趣”。由上文可知，这种方法允许，人们在把兴趣当成全职工作之前进行尝试，结合下文的you’re free from the pressure“你摆脱了压力”可知，这种方式给人们更多选择的空间，因此空格处所填词汇应与“自由，空间”意思相近。根据词性归类，名词中只有E项freedom“自由”符合句意。故
