Question

Every summer, hundreds of thousands of students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the opportunities are in   1  work. The pay is usually poor, but most people work   2  for the thrill of travel. You can pick grapes in France, entertain kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are always   3  in hotels and restaurants.

But it is not as easy as it used to be to find work. Unless you speak the language of the country well, there will be very   4  openings. For example, when you arrive to wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris, the owner will   5  you to speak French. British students only have a language   6  for jobs in the USA and Australia.

Not every one   7  the experience. Sarah James was once responsible for forty American children in Europe. During the   8 , one child lost his passport; four children were lost in Madrid for a whole day; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the  9  they made. Sarah says, “It really was a 24-hour-a-day job since the kids never   10 ! And the pay was awful. It wasn’t worth it.”

The trouble is that   11  expect to have an easy time of it. After all, they see it as a  12 . In practice, though, they have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual work, and jobs are   13  only when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. But students have few employment   14 . As soon as the holiday season finishes, companies will get rid of them. And if their employer doesn’t like them, they’ll be   15 , too.

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述的是在假期里很多學(xué)生都到海外去工作，以增加自己的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)并賺點(diǎn)錢(qián)。敘述了在此期間所遇見(jiàn)的困難和問(wèn)題。

1.A 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)14空后的As soon as the holiday season finishes,可知這些都是季節(jié)性的工作，都是很不穩(wěn)定的工作。故A正確。

2.C 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)文章第一行travel to other countries可知這些工作都是在國(guó)外的工作。

4.D 詞義辨析。A好的B新的C有吸引力的D幾乎沒(méi)有；如果他們不能講對(duì)方的語(yǔ)言，那么他們幾乎就沒(méi)有什么開(kāi)始。也就是說(shuō)如果語(yǔ)言不通，幾乎找不到合適的工作。

5.B 動(dòng)詞辨析。A教育B期待C允許D禁止；在法國(guó)，老板都期待著他們能夠講法語(yǔ)。

6.C 名詞辨析。A問(wèn)題B教訓(xùn)C優(yōu)勢(shì)D考試；英國(guó)的學(xué)生只有在美國(guó)和澳大利亞才有語(yǔ)言?xún)?yōu)勢(shì)。

7.B 動(dòng)詞辨析。A有B享受C忘記D記得；并不是每個(gè)人都喜歡這樣的經(jīng)歷的。

8.A 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)文章第一段travel to other countries可知學(xué)生都把這樣的經(jīng)歷當(dāng)成旅行。

9.D 考察常識(shí)。孩子們被驅(qū)逐出賓館主要是因?yàn)樵胍魯_民，所以才會(huì)被趕了出去。

10.C 動(dòng)詞辨析。A哭B學(xué)習(xí)C睡覺(jué)D幫助；這似乎是一個(gè)24小時(shí)的工作，因?yàn)楹⒆觽兯坪醪凰�覺(jué)。

11.B 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)文章第一行hundreds of thousands of students可知出國(guó)的是學(xué)生。

12.C 名詞辨析。A工作B教訓(xùn)C假期D羞愧的事；很多學(xué)生都把這當(dāng)成是假期而不是工作。

13.B 形容詞辨析。A數(shù)不清B存在C有趣的D乏味的；這樣的工作只存在于賓館餐廳以及營(yíng)地很忙碌的時(shí)候，如果高峰期過(guò)了，這樣的工作機(jī)會(huì)也就沒(méi)有了。

14.D 名詞辨析。A經(jīng)歷B規(guī)則C計(jì)劃D權(quán)利；這些工作的學(xué)生是沒(méi)有什么工作權(quán)利的。

考點(diǎn)：考察社會(huì)現(xiàn)象類(lèi)完型填空

點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文主要講述的是在假期里很多學(xué)生都到海外去工作，以增加自己的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)并賺點(diǎn)錢(qián)。敘述了在此期間所遇見(jiàn)的困難和問(wèn)題。本篇完形設(shè)空科學(xué)合理，考生很容易從中領(lǐng)會(huì)大意，從而下手會(huì)比較順利，從選項(xiàng)中可以看出，本大題主要還是考查了詞匯的辨析與運(yùn)用，但更加注重綜合語(yǔ)言能力的運(yùn)用，需要根據(jù)故事情節(jié)，了解詞匯用法的同時(shí)，結(jié)合語(yǔ)境，做出準(zhǔn)確的判斷。
