本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述德克薩斯州通過(guò)一項(xiàng)新州法,在上高中之前要在工商業(yè)、人文藝術(shù)和公共服務(wù)五個(gè)領(lǐng)域中選取一個(gè)領(lǐng)域攻讀,這個(gè)選擇對(duì)八年級(jí)的學(xué)生們來(lái)說(shuō)有些困難。

1句意:相反,這個(gè)美國(guó)德克薩斯州八年級(jí)生討論自己未來(lái)想要做什么。

Also 也;Instead相反;Then那么。根據(jù)前文“Sabrina doesn’t …h(huán)er classmates”可知,正常情況下,學(xué)生在課后會(huì)討論電視劇、體育和服裝,但是薩布林娜討論的是未來(lái),二者話題相反。故選B。

2句意:事實(shí)上,許多德克薩斯州的八年級(jí)生都在討論這個(gè)。

looking for尋找;dreaming of夢(mèng)想;talking about討論。根據(jù)上文“talks about what she wants to do in the future. 八年級(jí)的薩布林娜討論自己的未來(lái)發(fā)展方向,此處再遞進(jìn)一步說(shuō)其實(shí)很多德克薩斯州的八年級(jí)生也在討論這個(gè)。故選C

3句意:在學(xué)年結(jié)束時(shí),學(xué)生應(yīng)該挑選五個(gè)學(xué)術(shù)領(lǐng)域中的一個(gè),在高中階段專攻學(xué)習(xí)。

leave留下;choose選擇;change改變。根據(jù)后文“once you’re on a way, you might stay on that way.”可知,一旦選擇了相應(yīng)領(lǐng)域,那就不能改變,所以是五選一。故選B。

4句意:每個(gè)領(lǐng)域都有不同的課程。

similar相似的;same同樣的;different不同的。根據(jù)上文“business and industry(工業(yè)), arts and humanities(人文) , and public service”,工商業(yè)、人文藝術(shù)和公共服務(wù)這五個(gè)領(lǐng)域完全不同,所以相應(yīng)的課程也不一樣。故選C。

5句意:在我看來(lái),這將幫助我們擁有更大的勞動(dòng)力,為未來(lái)做準(zhǔn)備。

future未來(lái);past過(guò)去;now現(xiàn)在。根據(jù)“what she wants to do in the future”可知,他們選擇的領(lǐng)域是為未來(lái)自己能做什么而做準(zhǔn)備。故選A

6句意:但是一些學(xué)生仍然很擔(dān)憂。

excited激動(dòng)的;worried擔(dān)憂的;happy高興的。根據(jù)后文薩布林娜所說(shuō)的“It’s hard. You don’t want to make a bad decision”可知,他們不想做出一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的決定,這個(gè)選擇很困難,所以他們會(huì)對(duì)自己的選擇表示擔(dān)憂。故選B。

7句意:我不知道我想做什么。

how如何,怎么樣;who誰(shuí);what什么。根據(jù)“what she wants to do in the future”可知,這個(gè)選擇是關(guān)于未來(lái)能做什么的。故選C。

8句意:你不想做出一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤的決定,因?yàn)橐坏┠阕呱夏菞l路,就要一直走下去。

although雖然;because 因?yàn)椋?/span>so所以。由句意可知,后句是前句的原因,現(xiàn)在的選擇很困難,是因?yàn)椴豢梢愿淖兾磥?lái)的發(fā)展方向。故選B。

9句意:可是,有些人已經(jīng)決定了他們的發(fā)展領(lǐng)域。

already已經(jīng);yet仍然;hardly幾乎不。根據(jù)后文“Sabrina said she… in digital media”可知,薩布琳娜已經(jīng)決定好選擇工商業(yè)領(lǐng)域,以后發(fā)展數(shù)字媒體。故選A

10句意:她不介意在生命中這么早的階段做出這么重要的決定。

early 早地;finally最后;easily容易地。薩布琳娜才上八年級(jí),于她生命而言,還是在很早的階段。故選A。

【題目】 At the age of 35, Johnson Barnes injured(損傷) himself when skating during a winter vacation. His doctors said he could never walk again. But a new technology(科技), the robotic exoskeleton(外骨骼機(jī)械裝置), brought Johnson and other people like him a surprise —— it can work like our arms, legs or hands out side our body.
