53. What does the passage say about our identities at work?
- A. They are essential to our self-esteem.
- B. They evolve with the passage of time.
- C. They overrule all other self-perceptions.
- D. They are key to understanding ourselves.
答案：B
答案句：Furthermore, our identities at work are not static. They change over time.
参考译文：此外，我们在工作中的身份不是一成不变的。它们会随着时间而改变。
定位线索：题干“identities at work”→答案句“our identities at work”；文中“change over time”对应选项B“evolve with the passage of time”。
解析：题干问关于工作中身份的说法。答案句明确指出工作身份不是静态的，会随时间变化，对应选项B“evolve with the passage of time”。选项A“essential to our self-esteem”无中生有，文中未提及自尊；选项C“overrule all other self-perceptions”程度过重，文中只说工作身份是身份的一部分，未说压倒其他；选项D“key to understanding ourselves”偷换概念，文中未强调工作身份是理解自我的关键。因此B正确。
55. What should we do to expand our career options?
- A. Alter our perceptions of ourselves.
- B. Compare various job opportunities.
- C. Look into newly emerging sectors.
- D. Exercise self-discipline consciously.
答案：A
答案句：In an age where career progression may lead us into new sectors it is ever more important to challenge our sense of self and explore whether you can create a new experience of your identity by changing the beliefs you hold about yourself in order to expand your career options.
参考译文：在一个职业发展可能引领我们进入新领域的时代，挑战我们的自我意识，并探索你是否能通过改变你对自己持有的信念来创造一种新的身份体验，以扩大你的职业选择，这比以往任何时候都更重要。
定位线索：题干“expand our career options”→答案句“expand your career options”；文中“changing the beliefs you hold about yourself”对应选项A“Alter our perceptions of ourselves”。
解析：题干问为了扩大职业选择我们应该做什么。答案句明确指出通过“changing the beliefs you hold about yourself”（改变对自己持有的信念）来扩大职业选择，即改变自我认知，对应选项A“Alter our perceptions of ourselves”。选项B“Compare various job opportunities”无中生有，文中未提及比较工作机会；选项C“Look into newly emerging sectors”偷换概念，文中提到新领域是背景，但做法是改变信念；选项D“Exercise self-discipline consciously”答非所问，文中提到自我纪律但非扩大职业选择的方法。因此A正确。
