負(fù)，除了期待更高的薪水，還有每次就會(huì)帶來更高的地位二放形容詞successive

符合句意，修飾名詞title,意為“接連的,相繼的”,與each搭配。eachsuccessive

title意為“（之后的）每一次晉升”。故本題選G。

解析：空格前為介詞in,空格處應(yīng)填名詞或動(dòng)名詞，且要和endin連用符合

原文語義，故備選項(xiàng)dissatisfac-tion,bucks,disappointment,incompetence,

overwork和nothing均在選擇范圍。但根據(jù)下文Peterprinciple的內(nèi)容可知，步

步高升最終走到不擅長的崗位，導(dǎo)致事業(yè)停滯不前。由此可推斷出，寄希望于升

職，但結(jié)果可能會(huì)令人失望。因此disappointment“失望”符合題意。故本題選

解析：根據(jù)空格前tobe可知，空格處所填單詞應(yīng)為形容詞或動(dòng)詞的過去分

詞，備選項(xiàng)中沒有過去分詞，因此應(yīng)填形容詞。前文提到職位越高，要求的時(shí)間

越多，根據(jù)句意“首席執(zhí)行官會(huì)希望你周末也"可知，available符合題

意，意為“有時(shí)間工作”。故本題選F。

解析：空格前為一個(gè)完整的句子，空格后為名詞短語thecorporatetroops,

分析句子可知，逗號(hào)后的部分應(yīng)為狀語，且句子主語為you,故空格處應(yīng)填入現(xiàn)

在分詞作非謂語成分。因此visiting符合題意，且可以和thecorporatetroops搭

配，意為“視察公司的團(tuán)隊(duì)”。故本題選K。

解析：空格前為動(dòng)詞achieved,空格后為of,由此可知，空格處應(yīng)填入形容

詞或名詞，并與后面的。fsubstance搭配。備選項(xiàng)形容詞many和of搭配，構(gòu)成

manyof“許多”，但前文出現(xiàn)了naggingfeeling"不愉快（低落/沮喪）的感覺”，

因此不符合句意。將備選項(xiàng)nothing代入空格處，achievednothingofsubstance

“沒有取得任何實(shí)質(zhì)性的成果”符合題意。故本題選M。

解析:此處要填名詞。空格前是and,出現(xiàn)thecurseof,且所填詞匯和overwork

構(gòu)成并列關(guān)系，因此空格處應(yīng)填名詞。本句意為“小心升職帶來超負(fù)荷工作和

的詛咒二因此根據(jù)前文內(nèi)容，dissatisfaction”心情不愉悅”符合題意。

故本題選Bo

參考譯文

升職真的有必要嗎？許多員工將希望寄托于公司內(nèi)部晉升上。他們有這樣的

抱負(fù)，除了期待更高的薪水，還有每晉升一級(jí)就會(huì)帶來更高的地位。

而這種晉升往往會(huì)令人失望。勞倫斯?彼得在1969年出版了一本書，在這

本書中他提出了“彼得原理”，該原理指出員工不斷得到晉升，直到達(dá)到他無法

勝任的職位。這種說法頗有道理。如果你能勝任所做的工作，你就會(huì)在職業(yè)發(fā)展

階梯上越爬越高。最終，在階梯的上層總會(huì)有一份工作是你并不擅長的，到那時(shí)

你的職業(yè)發(fā)展就會(huì)停滯不前。合乎邏輯的推論是，任何長期處于當(dāng)前職位的高級(jí)

工作人員都不稱職。

你在職業(yè)發(fā)展階梯上爬得越高，工作對(duì)時(shí)間的要求通常就越多。首席執(zhí)行官

會(huì)希望你周末也有時(shí)間工作。畢竟，這是公司支付給你高薪的原因。你的下屬也

會(huì)覺得無論何時(shí)，只要出現(xiàn)棘手的問題，他們都能向你求助。因?yàn)樗麄儾幌胱龀?/p>

高于自己薪酬水平的決定。如果你是某個(gè)區(qū)域的負(fù)責(zé)人，你可能大部分時(shí)間都會(huì)

在飛機(jī)上度過，出差去各地視察公司的團(tuán)隊(duì)。不出差的時(shí)候，你又要參加各種各

樣的會(huì)議。到了晚上,你覺得自己度過了極其忙碌的一天，卻有種不愉快的感覺，

你覺得這一天并沒有取得任何實(shí)質(zhì)性的工作成果。

所以，光鮮的晉升可能并不適合每個(gè)人。小心升職帶來超負(fù)荷工作和心情不

愉快的詛咒。有些人喜歡將自己的生活全都奉獻(xiàn)給工作，并成為各種活動(dòng)的核心

人物。最好讓他們繼續(xù)下去。
