答案解析
填詞版的完形填空，關于失業之后該如何開始新的職業生活的。這些文章讀多了，對人是會有啟發的。此外，這種題型也很考驗人的語言功底，短語積累和基本的語法知識是必不可少的。
31題，考查的是固定搭配。這里的意思很明顯，是指這個女的在自己的職位上被開除了，make redundant是商業英語里的地道說法：Follow a fair and legal process when it's necessary to dismiss staff on the grounds of redundancy.如果是made redundant，后面的介詞用from，可以看個例句：Just been made redundant from your last job?
32題，比較簡單，see as，將什么視為。將失業視為改變的積極動力。
33題，雖然是艱難的一課(a tough lesson)，還是改變了我的職業方向(redirect my career)，有轉折的意思，although和though。
34題，這是個定語從句，當中要填入的是關系代詞。給了我需要的時間，來弄明白我的職業目標放在哪。用where。
35題，這題很明顯，舉例的，用such as。
36題，分析這個句子的成分。前面是a key consideration,做主語，有個was，是謂語，was后面的是賓語。在賓語成分里出現了it would be to balance…..這樣的完整的句子，所以空格部分應該填入一個詞，引導從句，并且這個詞所接從句必須倒裝。滿足這個要求的詞是how。(How引導的狀語從句要求部分倒裝)
37題，network with，詞組：connect as or operate with a network，將…連成網。
38題，還是個定語從句。一個完整的句子，缺乏關系代詞來銜接，要用which。關鍵在于要識別出這里的定語從句，否則很難往那上面想。在做這類題目時，如果一個句子各種成分都很齊全，而且比較長，那么是從句的可能性很大，要根據上下文的意思來判斷填入的代詞。題目做多了，會培養出這方面的警覺性。
39題，two years on，固定說法，兩年以后，兩年過去了。
40題，很容易聯想到even if或者是even though，只能填if不能填though。這是兩個意思和用法都不同的詞組。even if，即便，帶有假設的意思，后面接虛擬語氣;even though，即使，表示既定事實。40空后面的句子是虛擬語氣，因此這個題目只能填if。
