参考解析
解析：positive的意思是“绝对的、确实的”，例如：it was a positive delight to hear her sing so beautifully．听她美妙的歌声绝对是一种享受。原文“事实上，我对它确实有一种恐俱”，因此选A。
register为“注册、登记”,register for an evening course指“报名参加夜校课程”，此处选B最合逻辑，因为报名上课就需要填表格，其他各项均不合文意。
involve在这里为“包括”，表此意时involve后面接名词或动名词，因为这里表示填表就必须提供给别人一些自己的私人信息，所以此题选C。
in hand是一个固定词组，表示“在手头上的，随时可用的”，因为这里指“与手头上正办的事情无关的信息”，所以用B选项最合适。at hand为“即将到来的”,by hand指 “用手做”,to hand指“在取用的范围内”。
of在这里表示一种因果关系，其后接原因。本句意思是：申请一份工作时，如果未来老板想要知道我集邮、小时候得过麻疹，那他的兴趣真是让人费解。
prospective指“未来的”，用在employer前最合适，因为根据上下文可知作者在这里谈到的是求职过程中的情况，所以雇主还只是未来的雇主，现在关系还不确定。
require指“需要、要求”，带有一点强制性，用在这里最合适，因为这里是说政府、权威机构（authorities）要求人们去填表。invite指“邀请”，不符合题意。request为“拜托、恳请”用在这里显得语气过于软弱。因此选D。
put to是一个固定搭配，指“向……提问”，用在这里符合文意。本句意思是：权威机构让人们常常填写的内容往往都是一个人向亲密朋友询问前都会扰像的。
confront指“碰到、遭遇”，因为此句主语为my mind，所以这里confront要用被动语态。本句意思是：最糟糕的是每当我面对这些问题就会头脑一片空白。
apply to指“适用、应用”，本文中指作者怀疑defects“缺陷”这个词适用于他的性格特点。
admit指“承认”，因为前面提到了怀疑他的身体有缺陷，这里就说“我是不是还要承认我喜欢赌博，而且早上起不来呢？”根据上下文C为正确选项，而其他各项都有“否认、拒绝”的意思。
因为这里叙述的是填求职表格的内容，前面有“过去的经历”,“所任职务”，可以推断肯定要填写一些“日期”，所以选项B项dates最合适。
declaration除了“声明”的意思之外还有“申报”的意思，例如：Please make a written declaration of all the goods you bought abroad．请把你在海外买的全部货物以书面形式申报。本文中指填表格的时候对自己情况的申报。
however在这里是副词，指“无论到什么程度”，本文指“不论我怎么努力回忆”。
这里说明的意思是“但是如果空白不填就会让人认为我坐牢了，或者从事什么不便于提到的令人怀疑的职业”。blank的意思是“空白表格”,D项有此意但不合语法结构，因此选C。
register为“注册、登记”,register for an evening course指“报名参加夜校课程”，此处选B最合逻辑，因为报名上课就需要填表格，其他各项均不合文意。
