从下文的叙述来看,全文讲述了父母挣钱之外,美国的青少年也打工赚钱,因此用B表示“不只是,不仅仅”。(2) C be likely to do sth.表示有可能会做某事,与上下文的语气和句意相吻合,表示不只是他们的前辈,今天的年轻人也可能为了每个月几百美元而每周工作很长时间。(3) B 不是表示“自己花钱”,而是“把钱花在自己身上”,与下文的“而不是……”形成对比。(4) A contribute...to...固定短语,表示“把……奉献给……”。(5) D 从四个选项的词义来看,A表示“观点”,B表示“视察”,C表示“观察”。而本句的“全国性”“1997年”等词表明这应该是全国范围的调查。(6) B 下文是调查中反映出的数字变化,不是人们的建议、劝诫,也不是report,而是人们透过数字的“发现”。(7) D 从下文的叙述(比如衣服、听力设备、录音机)可知他们把打工赚的钱,花在这些方面。(8) B 钱花到买衣服、买立体声录音机等个人需求上。(9) B 与上文的80%对比,只有5%的人这么做。(10) A 帮助支付家庭生活开支。living expenses表示“(日常)生活开支”,expense表示“花费”。(11) B 一场激烈的争论,heated表示“热烈的,激烈的”,在本句用副词形式作状语。(12) A 既然是激烈的争论,有些人坚持这种观点,表示“坚持”用A,此时从句不用虚拟语气而是陈述语气。(13) A sense表示“理念,观念,感觉”,sense of worth表示“价值观”。(14) B 此时在讲述让孩子学习之余打工赚钱的益处,可以培养他们在经济/理财方面的责任感。(15) B 家庭内部由于经济紧张引发的冲突,用within或in表示“家庭内部”。(16) C 此时讲述反对派的观点,用C引起上下文,表转折。(17) C be separated from表示“与……隔离开”。(18) A 孩子打工赚钱,这使他与家人有了经济上和情感上的隔阂,这样一来这种情况就削弱了家长的权威。weaken表示“使……减弱”,与“强化”相对,而C表示“减少”,语意不符合上下文。(19) D 他们工作的目的是为了享受。(20) A 他们买到的是从学业上分心,即偏离了其初衷,违背了教育的本质。
