【点睛】
阅读理解中主旨大意题是重难点题型之一，其中标题判断是较为常见的一个类型，要求在阅读并理解表面文字的基础上做出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意思和深层意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等推断出作者索要表达的态度观点。为了能找出符合题意的一项，我们必须排除干扰项，一般干扰项包括以下几种类型：1.夸大事实型——对于原文中的细节或论断的某方面程度进行了夸大处理；2.无中生有型——捏造原文并不存在的信息；3.推理过头型——引申过度，使得结论过于绝对化。第4小题就是标题判断题型，本文的结构比较清晰简单，只要考生能抓住“青少年如何赚取零用钱”这一主干信息，就不难对文章的大意做出推断。其中A选项“赚钱的必需技巧”，B选项“金钱对于青少年的重要性”，D选项“青少年应该独立自主”都与文章主题不符，由此也可以确定正确答案。
