Question

This holiday my sister and I went to Shanghai. My sister had just graduated and she wanted to find a job in Shanghai.

My uncle lived in Shanghai, so we lived with him after we got there. On the first day we went to a lot of interesting places, including Waitan and Huangpu Park. We spent the next few days helping my sister find a job. We read many advertisements in newspapers to find one. My sister couldn't get the first job because they said she was too young.

Then we lost our way and couldn't find the second company. We had a map but the city is so big, so we had to ask someone for help and finally found the second company. The boss had a talk with my sister and asked her to wait at home for their decision. A month later we went home. My sister couldn’t find a job in Shanghai because she was not knowledgeable enough or she didn’t have enough experience. In this holiday we learned that if we want to succeed in life, we have to work hard and get a lot of knowledge.

【解析】

1. 细节理解题。根据短文中My sister had just graduated and she wanted to find a job in Shanghai可知，作者的姐姐去上海是为了能在那里找到一份工作。由此可知应选C。

2. 细节理解题。根据短文中We spent the next few days helping my sister find a job可知，第一天他们去了很多有趣的地方，剩下的日子，他们都帮助作者的姐姐去找工作。故应选A。

3. 细节理解题。根据短文第二段中My sister couldn't get the first job because they said she was too young可知，作者的姐姐找不到工作是因为她太年轻了。因此应选A。

4.词义猜测题。根据文意可知，作者的姐姐想在上海找工作，但总是找不到，这个单词所在的句子 My sister couldn’t find a job in Shanghai because she was not knowledgeable enough or she didn’t have enough experience说的是他的姐姐找不到工作的原因，是否定句，因此我们推测，knowledaeable 是知识渊博的，因为他的姐姐没有足够的知识或是没有经验，所以找不到工作。故应选B。

5. 主旨大意题。根据文意可知，这篇短文讲述了作者跟随姐姐在上海找工作，但是却看到姐姐总是找不到工作，他通过这件事明白了一个道理，在短文的最后In this holiday we learned that if we want to succeed in life, we have to work hard and get a lot of knowledge.，作者知道了，如果我们想要成功吗，我们就要努力学习，获得足够的知识。因此B选项最符合文意。
