Answer 1

1．C 此處chance 指找到工作的可能性，用復(fù)數(shù)形式與謂語（are）保持一致，A、B在此不能用。

2．A 既然是seasonal work，當(dāng)然選A不選B、C、D，下文提到摘葡萄就是農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)的一方面。

3．D 工資報(bào)酬低，但人們還是愿意去做，這是因?yàn)楹Ｍ饴眯械臉啡ぁ?/p>

4．A 上文提到季節(jié)性工作與tourism有關(guān)，下文最后一段也提到旅館等，可見用肯定副詞。

5．B “除非你講該國(guó)的語言”，不然就難以找到工作。

6．B 下文他的一番話是針對(duì)學(xué)生季節(jié)工而說的，由此可見其身份。

7．C 在法國(guó)首都巴黎洗盤子，當(dāng)然得懂法語而不是其他三種語言。

8．D 英國(guó)學(xué)生在講英語的美國(guó)、澳大利亞找工作有（語言）天然優(yōu)勢(shì)。7、8題均與第5題表達(dá)的意思一致。

9．C 上文說學(xué)生去尋找這種工作，而下文Sarah的經(jīng)歷又是另一番滋味，因此“并非人人都喜歡這種工作”。

10．A 既然是美國(guó)孩子去歐洲，當(dāng)然與其海外經(jīng)歷有關(guān)，其他三項(xiàng)不合題意。

11．D 在異國(guó)他鄉(xiāng)患重病，人命關(guān)天，當(dāng)然越快越好。fly用作及物動(dòng)詞表示“（坐飛機(jī)）飛”，此處用被動(dòng)語態(tài)。

12．C 從本段的最后一句The kids never slept ! 可知他們睡不著，鬧哄哄的。從搭配上make a noise表示“吵鬧”，do/cause damage表示“損失”。

13．B 前面講她很忙，惟一一個(gè)空閑的晚上又遭搶劫。

14．D 文中多次提到The pay was/is poor 。

15．B 求職的學(xué)生把這看得很輕松容易，而事實(shí)上很累。

16．A after all 表示“畢竟”，其后面的句子對(duì)前面作進(jìn)一步詮釋。正因?yàn)樗麄儼堰@視為度假，才會(huì)認(rèn)為很容易。

17．C though 用作副詞放于前句中或句末表示“可是，然而”。

18．B 后面這一句實(shí)際上是對(duì)前句的進(jìn)一步解釋，因而選B。

19．A 從上下文可知，公司需要時(shí)用你，不需要時(shí)趕你走，顯然選A。

20．D 一旦假日季節(jié)結(jié)束了，一切就隨之而去。
