【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文] As career planning is very essential in your career, I would like to offer some tips about how to do career planning. Study yourself. This is the key to career planning. Understanding what you are like, what you value, and what kind of person you want to become is the foundation for all career planning. In studying yourself, you examine your strengths and weaknesses, your goals, and the trends in your personal development. The self-understanding that you gain enables you to imagine how certain occupations may best fit your personality, interests, abilities, and goals. All career decisions require us to learn both about ourselves and about work, and to integrate these two kinds of knowledge. Make a list of short and long term career goals. Consider your individual skills, talents, interests and hobbies. You may realize that your daily struggle with new technologies is a source of frustration that you would like to eliminate. List all the goals you have for your work life. Assign a time frame to each goal. Some may be achievable in the near future. Others may require years of efforts. Many will probably lead to a series of goals that you must accomplish over time to reach your desired end result. If your ultimate goal is to have a managerial role, you may need to become a trainer first, then a supervisor. Add specific action steps to your plan that will help you to achieve each goal. Research classes that may help you become more familiar with new technologies. Make a list of classes that you want to take, and then schedule a time to meet with your manager to discuss opportunities for pursuing this type of education. Write a detailed description of your end goals for each year over the next five years. By the end of the first year, you may want to have a few successful projects under your belt. As the second year comes to a close, you might want to be promoted to a higher position, and so on. Be clear about the changes that you want to see happen, when they should take place, and what steps you will take to get where you want to be. Career planning does not guarantee that all the problems, difficulties, or decision-making situations that you face in the future will be solved. Nor can any formula be given to do that. But career planning should help you to approach and cope better with new problems, such as deciding whether or not to enter educational or training programs, deciding whether or not to change jobs, and analyzing the difficulties you are having with a situation or a person. Q: What is the fundamental step of career planning? 解题思路：四项均为动名词短语，很可能是针对以what开头的提问。四项大意分别为“努力学习”“了解不同职业”“了解职业规划趋势”和“了解自己”。听录音时重点抓住各项的关键信息。 题目中提到fundamental step，讲话开始部分提到：“研究你自己。这是职业规划的关键。了解自己属于哪类人、注重什么以及想成为什么样的人，这是一切职业规划的基础。”由此可知，进行职业规划的基础性步骤就是“了解自己”，故选D。其他三项均为根据个别词汇设置的干扰项，与讲话内容不符，应排除。

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[听力原文] Q: According to the speaker, what should you do if your ultimate aim is rather ambitious? 解题思路：四项均为以动词原形开头的短语，可能表示即将做某事或建议做某事。其中一项含有ask for...advice，一项含有bring it down，一项含有divide it into smaller...，应该与某种有难度的情况有关，很可能考查对策。 题目问，如果你的最终目标颇为雄心勃勃的话，你应该怎么做。讲话中间部分提到，有些目标也许在不久的将来就能实现，另一些也许需要多年的努力。题干中提到的rather ambitious就属于后者。对此讲话者给出的解决方案是：它可能给你带来一系列的目标，必须经历一段时间去完成它们，才能实现最终的结果……为你的计划增加具体的行动步骤，它们会帮你实现每个目标。可见对于较为长远的目标，讲话者明确给出了“详细规划、分步实施”的建议，故正确答案为C。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] Q: What is the meaning of making career plans? 解题思路：四项均为不定式短语，可能表示目的，大意分别为“帮助处理新问题”“确保做成大事”“缩短纠结时间”和“加快攀登速度”。听音时注意抓住各项关键信息，并结合录音进一步判断。 本题考查进行职业规划的意义，讲话近结尾处提到：“职业规划并不能保证解决未来你将面临的所有问题、困难和需要做决定的情况。也没有能达到这一效果的公式。但是职业规划可以帮助你更好地面对和处理新的问题。”由此可知，进行职业规划可以帮助人们更好地处理职业生涯中可能遇到的新问题，故答案为A。其他三项讲话中并未提及，均可排除。
