It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. All these because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her sadness, I don’t want to do any job related(和…相關(guān)) to science, either. In fact, when I said that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, Her heart was broken.
“Why can’t you be like my friend’s son?” she bemoans(抱怨) all the time. Her friend’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I can’t be like him. He is Mr. Perfect. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名聲) or salary(薪水).
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6.30 a.m. and usually comes home around 5 p.m. or even 6 p.m. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
【小題1】 Which topic do the writer and his mother often talk about?

A.The writer’s studies.B.The writer’s future jobC.Dinner plansD.World War III
【小題2】From Paragraph 1,we know that the writer’s mother ____________.
A.doesn’t want the writer to major in English
B.doesn’t think the writer should be a doctor
C.gets along very well with the writer
D.thinks working in the science field is a good idea
【小題3】Which sentence is probably TRUE about the writer?
A.He wants to be like his mother’s friend’s son.
B.He wants to find a job in his community in the future.
C.He doesn’t think his mother’s friend’s son is perfect.
D.He wants to do something he really likes in the future.
【小題4】We can know from the last paragraph that ____.
A.the writer’s mother works very hard for the family
B.the writer doesn’t know what his future will be like

【小題4】A

解析試題分析:這篇短文說的是“我”和我的母親在我的職業(yè)選擇上發(fā)生了分歧,以至于兩人經(jīng)常發(fā)生爭吵。母親想讓我學(xué)習(xí)醫(yī)學(xué),成為一名醫(yī)生,但是“我”并不喜歡當(dāng)醫(yī)生。“我”很理解母親的想法,但是也不想放棄自己的夢想。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中All these because I don’t plan to be a doctor可知,兩人經(jīng)常發(fā)生爭吵的原因是我不想成為一名醫(yī)生,這是關(guān)于我未來工作的問題,故選B。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中In fact, when I said that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, Her heart was broken.當(dāng)我告訴母親想要學(xué)習(xí)英語時,她的心碎了。我們可以判斷出,母親不想讓我學(xué)習(xí)英語。故選A。
【小題3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章中I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.我愿意追逐我的夢想,創(chuàng)造我自己的未來?芍髡邥䦂猿肿约旱膲粝,做自己喜歡做的事。根據(jù)第二段I can’t be like him.的內(nèi)容可知作者不想像他母親的兒子一樣,所以A不對;而作者只是在社區(qū)幫忙不是想將來去社區(qū)工作,故B不對;根據(jù)第二段He is Mr. Perfect.可知C不對。故選D。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6.30 a.m. and usually comes home around 5 p.m. or even 6 p.m. 我理解媽媽為什么為我未來的專業(yè)而擔(dān)心。我親眼看著母親用她微薄的工資養(yǎng)育我,每天工作很長時間,早上6點(diǎn)半出門,晚上5點(diǎn)甚至6點(diǎn)才回來。由此我們可以判斷答案為A。
考點(diǎn):日常生活類短文閱讀。

Stay as safe as possible during an earthquake.  Be aware that some earthquakes are actually foreshocks (前震) and a larger earthquake might occur.  Reduce your movements to a few steps to a nearby safe place.
If you are indoors,  do “duck,cover and hold”.  Duck or drop down to the floor, under something strong,  such as a table or a desk,cover your head and face with your arms and hands and hold on to that table or desk so that it does not move away from you as the ground shakes.  Do this until the shaking stops and it is safe to move.  Stay inside to avoid being injured by falling glass or building parts.  If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch(捲縮)in an inside comer of the building.
Stay clear of windows,fireplaces, and heavy furniture that may fall over.  Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside.  Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different  location inside the building or try to leave.
If you are outside, get into the open and stay there.  Move away from trees,buildings, signs and power lines.  Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings,  at exits  and alongside exterior walls. Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury.  Most earthquake-related casualties (傷亡) result from collapsing walls,  flying glasses, and falling objects.
If you are driving, you may not realize what is going on at first because the car may feel like it is going to blow up.  Stop the car in as clear and open an area as possible and stay in it until the shaking stops.  If it is a really bad quake, turn on the radio to find an emergency channel to get information.  Follow the directions of people directing traffic.
If you are in a mountainous area,  watch out for falling rock and other debris that could be loosened by the earthquake.
If you are at the beach,  move quickly to higher ground or several hundred yards inland.
【小題1】Which of the following pictures means “duck,cover and hold”?

【小題2】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A.Ground movement during an earthquake is the main reason of death.
B.You should keep your windows, fireplaces and heavy furniture clear.
C.Stop your car in the clear area and get out of it if an earthquake happens.
D.Run away from the beach as quickly as possible if an earthquake happens.
【小題3】The passage is mainly about________ during the earthquake.
A.ways of keeping you safe
B.the importance of keeping safe
C.ways of finding safe places
D.researches on how to keep safe

Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents,however,it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents,don’t worry about it.Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap(消除代溝).
Don’t argue with your parents.Don’t get to your parents when you are angry.Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them.

If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise(和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect(尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.
【小題1】 The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ______ for the father and the son.

A.hardB.enjoyableC.painfulD.comfortable
