Question

【題目】We all have fond memories of taking a few lazy months off after the stress of A-levels. So now that summer has arrived, let’s take full advantage. It goes without saying that summer vacations are the perfect time to go traveling.

Tickets go up greatly when you turn 26, so make the most of cheaper rates while you’re eligible.

Overseas volunteering won’t amaze future employers, but it can be very useful. Finding a reliable (可靠的) company that won’t cheat you is important, as is discovering a program that interests you. There are plenty of websites where you can see other people’s suggestions.

Of course for most of us, money is tight. To avoid overspending you can combine employment and vacation. Hannah Warn, a psychology (心理學(xué)) student at the University of Winchester, is spending her summer at Camp America where students enjoy a good time on a summer camp. “Being thrown into something where I don’t really know what to expect is exciting,” she says. “It gives me a chance to experience being away from home in a different way.”

Those with a talent for languages might also consider working abroad as an au pair (互惠工人). The work may be a chance to involve yourself in a new culture while your employer pays most of the bill.

If you have an idea of the sort of career you’d like, getting work experience is wise. In many careers, graduating with only your degree to show for your three or four years just won’t make it. Send applications (申請(qǐng)) off early and to as many places as possible. Make sure you take a well-earned break this summer.

【解析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，旨在鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生們?cè)诩倨谝贿吢眯幸槐榇蚬�。一面是放松自己的同時(shí)能夠節(jié)省花費(fèi)，另一面則是為將來(lái)的工作做準(zhǔn)備。

【1】分析推斷題。根據(jù)第四段提示Of course for most of us, money is tight對(duì)于我們大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)錢(qián)都是很緊的，所以可以推斷出學(xué)生會(huì)想要在旅行時(shí)獲得低價(jià)票。故選B

【2】分析推斷題。根據(jù)劃線(xiàn)句子前半句，第二段Tickets go up greatly when you turn 26, 當(dāng)你26歲的時(shí)候票價(jià)會(huì)大幅上升，所以后面劃線(xiàn)句子的含義中一定包含著和年齡有關(guān)的意思，故選D

【3】分析推斷題。根據(jù)文中第四段第二句To avoid overspending you can combine employment and vacation.為了避免過(guò)度話(huà)費(fèi)，你可以將旅行和工作結(jié)合起來(lái)。然后就是問(wèn)題中的例子，所以分析推斷 Camp America 對(duì)學(xué)生提供工作，故選A

【4】分析推斷題。根據(jù)文中最后一段可知找工作時(shí)候只有三年或者四年的學(xué)歷證明一般不會(huì)成功，暗示了有相關(guān)工作經(jīng)歷成功的幾率會(huì)更高，故選C
