四、随后 Mr Wang 介绍了美国的大学如何让同学们根据性格测试选择自己的专业。阅读短文,让我们来看一看吧。
If you are studying at a university in the USA, there is no need to decide your major in the first year, but it's a good idea to spend time early on working out what subjects you are interested in.
To do this, you can take some tests such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test(MBTI 职业性格测试) and the Enneagram Personality Test(九型人格测试). These tests can help tell you what things you might be good at. They can help you work out what subjects you're interested in and tell you what jobs may suit you best.
Further, you should choose a major you are interested in. After all, you are most likely to be successful if you are doing something you love. Your passion and interests are important, and they will bring you pleasure and happiness.
Lastly, you should learn about the different majors available. Maths, computer science, information technology, economics, journalism and business management—they are all very different majors. You should understand what kind of jobs people with different degrees can get after graduation. You can look at the websites of famous universities to find out more.
Choosing subjects you are interested in is quite important. As time goes by, your interests might change while you are at university. In the USA, you can always change majors as long as you have the passion and ability to do so. If you have any doubts or questions about your academic path, you can seek help from your school's counselors(顾问) and academic advisors.

2. 第2题:定位原文第三段"After all, you are most likely to be successful if you are doing something you love. Your passion and interests are important, and they will bring you pleasure and happiness.",原文未提及做热爱的工作会直接带来成就感,b和c表述符合原文内容,对应选项B。

分层设问
1. 第一空后面是to,结合句首的In,首先联想表目的的常用固定短语,匹配“为了弄清自己擅长什么”的句意;
2. 第二空前有the most构成最高级,空后搭配for you,结合“什么样的工作对你来说最……”的语义,定位原文第二段"They can help you work out what subjects you're interested in and tell you what jobs may suit you best."找符合搭配的形容词suitable;
3. 第三空在make sb结构后,和后面的happy并列,定位原文第三段"Your passion and interests are important, and they will bring you pleasure and happiness."可以得知热情和兴趣可以带来愉悦和幸福,所以此空填形容词pleased;
4. 第四空前有an,空后是of,结合句意“你需要……不同学位的人毕业后能找到什么工作”,定位原文第四段"you should understand what kind of jobs people with different majors can get after graduation."可知此空填名词understanding;
5. 第五空在be of great结构后,结合总结句“选择感兴趣的专业非常……”,匹配be of great +抽象名词的常用结构推导答案,定位原文最后一段"Choosing subjects you are interested in is quite important."可知此空填importance。
