Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Usually summer break provides teens with an opportunity to get away from the boring life of going to school, to visit friends and have fun with them, and to make a little extra money. The summer job market for teens can be highly competitive. Half-heartedly (不认真地）looking for a job is the quickest way to get turned down over and over. 【1】

【2】 Look at the skills required for each. Then compare these skills with those you already have. The closer the match, the more likely you will enjoy your summer job while building a good reference for future jobs.

Understanding why you want to work will also help you determine where to apply. Do you want to earn extra money for something special, or do you need the job to make ends meet? 【3】 These are just a few of the questions you need to answer before starting your job search.

When you’re searching for a summer job, look for help beyond the wanted signs. 【4】 And even if a business doesn’t have a sign or advertisement indicating that they are looking for help, stop by and ask a manager. You might fill in an application anyway, which could lead to a position in the future.

【5】 Ice cream shops, restaurants, grocery stores and movie theaters commonly hire students. You might take a job that has less desirable hours or that you don’t necessarily enjoy. However, summer jobs don’t last forever. You can still build your skills and experience while making money.

A. Here are some tips on finding summer jobs.

B. Take time to think about the types of jobs that are suitable for you.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】G

【4】E

【5】C

【解析】

试题分析：出于不同的原因，很多学生都喜欢在暑期找一份工作。作者在文章中给出了寻找暑期工的四个建议。

【1】A 本句属于上下文的过渡句，在二至四段中提出了寻找暑期工的四个建议。故A项“Here are some tips on finding summer jobs”符合上下文串联。

【2】B 根据横线后一句Look at the skills required for each. Then compare these skills with those you already have.要看看暑期工所需要的技巧，并与自己已经拥有的技巧进行比较。如果很接近，那么你可能有能力做这份工作。所以本段告诉我们的是要思考适合自己的工作。故B项符合上下文串联。

【3】G 本段第一句Understanding why you want to work will also help you determine where to apply.知道自己为什么要去工作会帮助你决定到什么地方找工作。接着在2句中说明了两个做暑期工的理由。那么G项“Are you looking for a job where your friends work, so you can be with them?你是要找一份你的朋友一起做的工作吗？”也是寻找暑期工的的原因之一。与本段中心思想一致。

【4】E 根据横线前一句When you’re searching for a summer job, look for help beyond the wanted signs.可知当你在寻找暑期工的二十号，可以从别人那里寻求帮助。可以让家人或朋友帮助你找工作。故E项符合上下文串联。

【5】C 根据横线后一句Ice cream shops, restaurants, grocery stores and movie theaters commonly hire students.可知很多行业都会招收暑期工，所以在找工作的时候要灵活一点，只要这份工作能够让你增加技能即可。故C项符合本段大意。
