短文大意：短文介紹了青少年學生如何才能在假期里找到一份適合自己年齡和興趣的工作。

【1】題意：在學校放假期間，14歲的孩子晚上不能去上班。考查細節(jié)判斷。根據(jù)If you’re 13 to 15. By law, you can’t work more than 35 hours each week during school holidays. And you can’t work before 7 a.m. or after 7 p.m.（每周工作的時間不能超過35小時，不能在早上7點之前或晚上7點之后工作）可知14歲的孩子不能在晚上工作，can’t go to work at night符合句意，故選C。

【2】題意：一個16歲的孩子在兩小時內(nèi)至少能得到多少錢?考查細節(jié)計算。根據(jù)The lowest wage for 16-17 years old teenagers should be no less than 7 dollars per hour. 16-17歲青少年的最低工資應不低于每小時7美元，可知7×2＝14美元，故選C。

【3】題意：如果你想為別人清潔汽車，你至少應該是13歲。考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)If you’re 13 to 15. It seems that you can’t work almost anywhere, but you’re probably allowed to clean your neighbours’ cars or walk their dogs. 13至15歲的孩子可以給別人清潔汽車或遛狗，可知選D。

【4】題意：根據(jù)短文，摘水果很累，但報酬很好�？疾榧毠�(jié)理解。根據(jù)In autumn, there’s always fruit picking. It can be pretty hard work, but it pays really well.可知摘水果的工作很累但薪水很高，tiring but pays well說法正確，故選B。

【5】題意：根據(jù)短文，哪個陳述是正確的?考查細節(jié)判斷。A. 如果你是17歲，你不允許為你的鄰居遛狗；根據(jù)If you’re 16 or 17. you can work in many other places可知說法錯誤。B. 青少年可以根據(jù)自己的興趣選擇工作；根據(jù)No matter how much you are paid, you are doing what you like.可知說法正確。C. 摘水果的報酬高，因為摘水果的人少；根據(jù)It can be pretty hard work, but it pays really well.可知說法錯誤。D. 只有球迷才被允許在足球俱樂部工作；根據(jù)If you’re mad about football, you can choose to work in a sports shop or help out at a local football club.可知說法絕對，所以錯誤。綜合以上分析，故選B。

閱讀理解是最能體現(xiàn)學生英語能力的題型，分值較高，如何通過解題方法的掌握來提升自己解答閱讀理解題的技巧是學生最關心的問題。初中閱讀理解一般考查學生的細節(jié)理解能力，主旨理解能力和推理判斷能力。做閱讀理解題，首先要準確理解題意，然后根據(jù)題意根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容做出正確的答案。（1）考查細節(jié)理解能力，此類型題較簡單，準確理解題意后，直接到文中找出答案。（2）考查猜詞能力。做這種題型時，要根據(jù)上下文意思準確猜出詞意。3）考查推理判斷能力，此類題型較難，準確理解題意后，在文中找出相關的內(nèi)容做出合理的推斷。（4）考查主旨理解題。此類題型需通讀全文，整體把握，根據(jù)文本主要內(nèi)容選擇合適的選項。例如小題2，問一個16歲的孩子在兩小時內(nèi)至少能得到多少錢?考查細節(jié)計算。根據(jù)The lowest wage for 16-17 years old teenagers should be no less than 7 dollars per hour. 16-17歲青少年的最低工資應不低于每小時7美元，可知7×2＝14美元，故選C。
