Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

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 (不認(rèn)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.

C. Be flexible and creative when you’re looking for a summer job.

D. If you are poor in math, you probably would lose your job.

E. Let your family, neighbors and teachers know that you’re looking for a job.

F. A good attitude towards work sometimes can make up for lack of skills.

G. Are you looking for a job where your friends work, so you can be with them?

【3】G

【4】E

【5】C

【解析】

試題分析：出于不同的原因，很多學(xué)生都喜歡在暑期找一份工作。作者在文章中給出了尋找暑期工的四個建議。

【1】A 本句屬于上下文的過渡句，在二至四段中提出了尋找暑期工的四個建議。故A項“Here are some tips on finding summer jobs”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【2】B 根據(jù)橫線后一句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，并與自己已經(jīng)擁有的技巧進(jìn)行比較。如果很接近，那么你可能有能力做這份工作。所以本段告訴我們的是要思考適合自己的工作。故B項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【3】G 本段第一句Understanding why you want to work will also help you determine where to apply.知道自己為什么要去工作會幫助你決定到什么地方找工作。接著在2句中說明了兩個做暑期工的理由。那么G項“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嗎？”也是尋找暑期工的的原因之一。與本段中心思想一致。

【4】E 根據(jù)橫線前一句When you’re searching for a summer job, look for help beyond the wanted signs.可知當(dāng)你在尋找暑期工的二十號，可以從別人那里尋求幫助�？梢宰尲胰嘶蚺笥褞椭�你找工作。故E項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【5】C 根據(jù)橫線后一句Ice cream shops, restaurants, grocery stores and movie theaters commonly hire students.可知很多行業(yè)都會招收暑期工，所以在找工作的時候要靈活一點，只要這份工作能夠讓你增加技能即可。故C項符合本段大意。
