【C3】
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析：前文指出了三种最受好评的职业，此句指出三种垫底的工作，形成鲜明的对比。at theother end of the scale字面意思是“在天平的另一端”，这里指“相比之下，与之对比”，故选A项。
【答案解析】解析：上句描述的是压力最大的职业，本句给出具体的职业类别。因此空格所填入之词应与pressurized构成同义或近义。空格前的短语take a heavy toll表示“造成重大损失(或伤亡)，造成坏影响(或痛苦)”；此句提到的医生、飞行员、记者和消防员都是压力较大的职业。A项nerves指“神经”，take a heaviest toll on the nerves表示“对神经造成最大影响”．言下之意是这些职业所要承受的心理压力最大。
【答案解析】解析：前半句已经说明背景in our increasingly wired world(全世界的互联网都在日益发展)，后半句说明这个背景下的情况web developer comes out on top。从上下文看，这两者之间是承接的关系，not与后面所选的词搭配后应表示理所当然、毫无意外的意思，因此选C项，notsurprisingly表示“毫不奇怪”。
【答案解析】解析：本句中的to the top of the pile和上句的comes out on top表达同样的意义，说明网络开发员这个职位的排名。空格前的词语是使其排名靠前的原因；空格后的to是介词，表示方向，to the top表示“向首位”。此处应选一个能与之搭配并表示出方向的词，D项pushing表示“推”，push to the top表示“推向首位”，语义符合。
