2019年公共英语二级阅读理解练习题（1）
What exactly is a Dream Career? I am sure it means different things to different people. You could presently be unsure about what your final job would be. If you have any doubts about what your dream career is, you may know which careers you definitely would not like to do. For example, if you have an interest in art, and do not like math, you most certainly would not be an engineer .If you love art. and have no artist talent ,maybe you would like to be around art instead, as an art curator (馆长)
A career related to your passion, bobby, or special interest, is the path to follow in finding your dream job. Try thinking about what things you like to do in your spare time. Many are attracted toward turning what they love to do in their off work hours into a full time job. For example, if you like to put together model cars, maybe you would like opening your own hobby shop, or work for someone who owns one.
Once you find what you arc interested in doing, you can then match this to a career which will be similar to what you are passionate about. What you consider a dream career has to centre around what kind of person you actually are. This is called your Career Personality. What type of person do you consider yourself to be? People are naturally attracted to those things which reflect who they are as unique individuals. For example, if you are slightly on the shy side, maybe you would like a job where you work on your own. relatively unsupervised ,behind a computer. If you are outgoing, maybe you would like to work with others, and be the supervisor.
All it may take to find our dream career is to know ourselves a little better, trust in our own judgment, and be realistic about what we can attain occupationally: This is how I found what I am doing now.

【长难句解析】
1.A career related to your passion, bobby, or special interest, is the path to follow in finding your dream job.
【翻译】与你的激情，爱好，或者个人兴趣有关的职业是你找到梦想的职业的道路。
【分析】本句中的形容词短语related to your passion, bobby, or special interest作为定语修饰前面的名词a career;表语中的不定式to follow in finding your dream job也作为定语修饰前面的名词the path。
2. All it may take to find our dream career is to know ourselves a little better, trust in our own judgment, and be realistic about what we can attain occupationally: This is how I found what I am doing now.
【翻译】想要找到梦想职业需要更好地了解自己，相信自己的判断同时对于自己能够获得的职业足够现实。这就是我如何找到自己现在做做的工作的方法。
【分析】本句主语all后面有定语从句it may take to find our dream career。在all后面省略了that，that作为动词take的宾语，所以可以省略。同时句中的表语是不定式结构，表示具体的行为。其中介词about后面有宾语从句what we can attain occupationally。
