Son:OK.Here it is.I’ve decided not to go to university.(3)I want to focus on my band and have a career in music when I leave school.
Father:(raising his voice in surprise) You can’t be serious! What about your future career as a lawyer?!
Son:I knew you’d say that.(4)You just assume I want to be a lawyer, but that’s only because you are a lawyer.
Father:What’s wrong with being a lawyer? Lawyers help people and are respected by others.
Son:Yes, but I’m not interested in law.I want to work in a studio, not a court. Grandfather:(looking at Father) Calm down.OK?
Father:(ignoring Grandfather’s words) Stop daydreaming ! Playing in a band is not a job.
Son:Of course it is! The music industry is developing fast now.Making music is a
job.
Grandfather:(stepping between Father and Son and raising his voice) Hey! I told you to calm down, both of you!
Father: But I told him to study something useful at university!
Grandfather:(laughing) Easy, son! (5)I remember when you were his age,you said that you wanted to be a professional football player. Father:And you wanted me to be an engineer!
Grandfather:I just wanted you to be happy, and an engineer—a happy engineer. Father:But in the end, you just advised me to think carefully.
Grandfather:Yes, and you have found the career that suits your talents.I’m so proud of you.Your son is proud of you, too.
Son:Of course I am, but I have different talents.
Grandfather:(turning to Son) (6)Why don’t you also take my advice and think carefully before jumping in with both feet? Son:Well, I could try...

Father:Yes, lots of new lawyer friends! Son:(with a sigh) Dad... (Curtain.)

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Mr Paul was a professor of medicine,who was very strict with the students.Whenever Mr Paul took the chair on the exam committee,the students would be in fear,because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave.A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him.At the end of the term,the students of medicine would take their exam again.Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee.This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.
Mr Paul began to ask.The student was required to describe a certain illness,his description of which turned out to be OK.
Then Mr Paul asked about the cure(药剂) for the illness,and the student,too,answered
just as right.
“Good,” said the professor,“and how much will you give the patient?” “A full spoon,” answered the student.
“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get,” said Mr Paul.At the same time the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given.Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer.“A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself.Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried,“Mr Professor,I’ve made a mistake!A full spoon is too much for the patient.He can take only five drops.”
“I’m sorry,sir,” said Mr Paul coldly,“but it’s too late.Your patient has died.” 1.The students were afraid of Mr Paul because ________. A.they often angered and disappointed him B.their answers often surprised him C.their answers seldom satisfied him
D.he often misunderstood them and gave them bad marks
答案 C [细节理解题。根据首段第二句中的“...because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave.”可得知,Mr Paul很少对学生们的回答满意,所以选C。] 2.The student’s description of the illness was ________. A.not correct B.not satisfying
C.completely discouraging D.accepted
答案 D [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“his description of which turned out to be OK”可以知道,学生对于疾病的描述正确。accepted“可以接受的”,符合文意,故为答案。]
3.Before he left the room the student was almost sure that ________. A.he had passed the exam,and the only thing was to wait for the mark B.his last answer had been wrong
C.he had made a mistake
D.he had not done well in the exam
答案 A [推理判断题。从第二、三、四段中可以看出,学生对于老师提出的每个问题都回答得很干脆,可以推测他对于自己的回答很自信、满意,故选A。] 4.Which guess is the most reasonable from the passage? A.The student must have passed the exam. B.The student may not have passed the exam.
C.The student must have been very happy when he heard “Your patient has died.” D.Mr Paul must have been very pleased and given the student a good mark.
答案 B [推理判断题。通过末段教授的回答:“Your patient has died.”(你的病人已经死了),可以推断,老师对学生最后一个问题的回答很不满意,学生的回答是错误的,因此可以推断该学生考试不过关。]
B
When you sleep somewhere else—like at summer camp or a friend’s house—you know you’re in for a fun time.It can be exciting to get away from the same old bed in the same old room in the same old house.But fun as this is,for some kids being away from home can be scary and sad.They want to go and have fun with their friends,but once they’re there,they start to miss their good old bed,their good old parents,and all that everyday stuff at home.It’s called being homesick.
Homesick means you’re upset,sad,and maybe scared.But don’t feel surprised.A lot of people get homesick,even grown-ups.When you’re used to having certain people and things around you,it can be scary when they’re gone.When you’re dealing with other problems,you will feel homesick,too.Some kids may feel more homesick than usual if their parents are getting divorced or if someone they loved has recently died. Here are some ideas to help you feel less homesick.
Bring a little bit of home with you.If you’re going away from home,bring your pillow or pictures of the people you’ll be apart from and look at them any time you want. Keep busy.The more fun stuff you do,the less time you’ll have to feel homesick.Try to
join in activities wherever you are.
Stay in touch.You can make a plan for when you’ll call your mom or dad.You can also email or text message to stay in touch with family and friends.When you do get in touch with someone,make sure to talk about the fun things you’re doing!
Talk to someone where you are.Maybe you can tell a friend that you feel homesick.He or she might have some ideas to help you feel better. 5.One feels homesick means he’s not ________. A.upset C.scary
B.sad D.full
答案 D [细节理解题。由第二段第一句可知,在沮丧、伤心、害怕的情况下容易想家,排除A、B、C三项。文章没有提到not full“不饱”或者“饥饿”,故选D。]
6.________ is NOT right according to the passage. A.Kids can keep in touch with their family with telephone B.You can tell friends you are feeling homesick
C.Bringing some familiar things with you can help to feel less homesick D.Only kids get homesick,grown-ups never feel homesick
答案 D [细节理解题。由第二段第三句可知,不但是小孩,成年人也会想家,所以D项与原文不相符,故选D项。] 7.Kids won’t feel homesick when ________. A.they are dealing with the problems
B.the people and things they get used to are around them C.someone they loved has recently died D.their parents are getting divorced
答案 B [细节理解题。由第二段最后两句可知,人们遇到难题、父母离异、亲人去世时都会想家,排除 A、C、D三项。根据第四句可知,当与自己习惯的人或事物分离时会感到害怕,也就是想家。B项的说法与原文正相反,故选B项。]
8.The best title for this passage is ________. A.Homesickness
B.Why Do You Feel Homesick C.How to Be Less Homesick D.When Will Kids Feel Homesick
答案 A [标题归纳题。B、C、D三项只是其中的一个方面,可排除。A项“想家”则涵盖了以上几个方面,所以homesickness最合适。] Ⅱ.七选五
