33、three steps will safeguard every application.”Farrer also pointed out that that is not the only safety net that graduates can rely on. He said “Graduates can also check to see if the agencies are members of either APSCo or the REC, the two trade bodies they can make an official complaint to. The vas

56、选C。【13题详解】前文According to experts，young people desire these jobs largely because of the wealth and the fame(据专家表示，年轻人渴望这些工作很大程度上是因为财富和名声)说明了年轻人选择这些职业的原因；后文“ Lets take athletes and singers as an example.

57、动员和歌手为例。许多运动员的最佳时期只持续几年，歌手的职业生涯也很有限。）举例说明了这些职业并不总是那么光鲜，也有其局限性；D选项“不幸的是，他们并不总是对人们的生活产生积极的影响。”是对上句的进一步说明，they与the wealth and the fame对应；且下文运动员和歌手的例子也验证了D选项要表达的意思。故选D。【14题详解】前文“As a result, theyll have a feeling of worthlessness and a lack of control. Besides, it can be difficult for them to adapt back

58、 to a normal everyday life.”（因此，他们会有一种自己毫无价值和缺乏控制的感觉。此外，他们很难适应正常的日常生活。）说明了运动员歌手这些职业的负面影响；后文“They are not satisfied with just making a livingthey want to be rich and famous.”（他们不满足于仅仅谋生他们想变得富有和出名。）说明了年轻人的梦想并没有发生变化，他们仍然想追求财富和名声；F选项“即便如此，年轻人也比以往任何时候都有更大的野心去获得这种地位。”中的so与前文这些职业的负面影响对应，ambition与后文的be rich

59、 and famous对应，所以F选项起到了承上启下的作用。故选F。【15题详解】分析本段内容可知，本段主要说明了年轻人追求财富和名声的原因。前文“This quick way of gaining wealth and fame creates a celebrity culture among people.”（这种快速获得财富和名声的方式在人们中创造了一种名人文化。）说明了现在存在快速获得财富和名声的方式；G选项“他们不切实际地认为这种生活方式很容易获得，并带来很大的满足。”中的easily与quick对应，obtained与gaining对应，说明了上文那种快速成名的方式对年轻人的影响

60、，且属于年轻人追求财富名声的原因之一，符合段落大意。故选G。【16题详解】前文“While many people argue that there is nothing wrong with having such ambitions, others feel that this trend will finally lead to dissatisfaction as more and more people are unable to reach their goals. ”（虽然很多人认为有这样的雄心壮志并没有错，但其他人认为这种趋势最终会导致不满，因为越来越多的人无法达到他们的目标。

61、）说明了有些人不赞同快速追求名声和财富的方式；后文“That means they ignore the simple fact that great effort is needed before success. ”（这意味着他们忽视了一个简单的事实:成功之前需要巨大的努力。）中的that应该指代设空处的内容；E选项“原因是他们没有意识到要变得富有和出名需要天赋和努力。”中的hard work与后文的effort对应，且和后文表达的意思一致，承接了前文说明了一些人不赞同的原因。故选E。三、完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分)Dad had a green comb.
