Question

My father and I disagreed about curfew (晚間在家的時(shí)間). He'd say I was to be in by 9：30 on weekdays, and 11：00 on weekends, no exceptions without my first asking. I told him it made me ____ like a junior­high kid. He explained that while a curfew ____ sound like a restriction, it's really about people looking out for one another.

The very next Friday after that pretty heated ___， my dad and I had tickets to see our town's professional football game. On that day he was ____ to a nearby city to meet with some major clients and ____ me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.

To make sure we could ____ off the moment he walked in, I got everything prepared. When a half hour had passed from the time he said he'd be home, I understood that he was a little ____. But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting ____. We were going to miss the kick­off! And why hadn't he ____ me and let me know he was going to be really late? As I anxiously ____ the floor, another half hour passed. That's when I got really angry. How inconsiderate of my father! Now we were going to ____ the whole game! When yet another half hour passed, my anger turned to ____. What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a heart attack or had been in an accident, or something? I began to really ____. I'd already called his cellphone about ten times, but no ____.

I was beside myself, assuming the worst had happened.

Finally, the phone rang, and my dad said ____， “Son, I'm so sorry about the game, but…there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I ____ to help… and ended up going to the hospital. I ____ my cellphone in the car, so I couldn't call until now.”

I was so relieved to hear from my father and to ____ that he was safe that I actually cried. That was ____ I “got” the importance of a curfew: Checking in! It's about knowing that someone you love is ____. It was one more proof of my father's loving me as much as he does.

【解析】

文章大意：父親規(guī)定我在平時(shí)晚上9點(diǎn)30分前回家，周末晚上11點(diǎn)前回家。我對此一直不同意，直到有一次發(fā)生的一件事讓我明白了一個道理。父親的規(guī)定其實(shí)是為了我的安全出發(fā)而設(shè)立的。父親是愛我的。

1.B　我告訴父親這項(xiàng)規(guī)定讓我“感到”自己像初中的學(xué)生。feel like“感到像……”。

2.2】A　父親解釋說晚間在家的時(shí)間“可能”像是限制，但是它其實(shí)是人們互相照顧。might表示推測，意為“可能”。

3.3】D　經(jīng)過熱烈的思想“交流”后的那個周五晚上，父親和我有票去看本鎮(zhèn)的職業(yè)足球賽。exchange“交流，交換”；speech“演講”；match“比賽”；description“描寫，描述”。

4.4】B　那一天，父親“駕車”到附近的城市去會見一些主要客戶。drive“駕車”；cycle“騎自行車”；fly“飛”；walk“走”。

5.5】C　父親“告訴”我他回家我們再去看球賽的話，時(shí)間會很緊。inform“告訴，通知”；allow“允許”；advise“建議”；order“命令”。

6.6】D　為了保證他一來我們能立刻“出發(fā)”，我們把一切事情都準(zhǔn)備好了。move off“出發(fā)”；pay off“付清，奏效，成功”；hold off“拖延，抵抗， 抗拒”；cut off“切斷，使隔絕”。

7.7】A　他說好回家的時(shí)間過了半個小時(shí)后，我知道他會“遲到”。late“遲到”；lazy“懶惰”；forgetful“健忘的，好忘事的”；careless“粗心的”。

8.8】A　然后，一個小時(shí)過去了。我越來越“心煩”了。upset“心煩的”；sorry“抱歉的”；rude“粗心的”；puzzled“困惑的”。

9.9】C　我們會誤了足球賽了。為什么他不“打電話”告訴我他會遲到呢？phone“打電話”；warn“警告”；signal“向……發(fā)信號，用動作(手勢)示意”；show“展示”。

10.0】B　當(dāng)我焦急地在地上“踱步”時(shí)，半個小時(shí)又過去了。pace“踱步，走來走去”；hit“擊打”；clear“清除”；measure“衡量”。

11.1】C　父親還沒回來。我們要“錯過”整個比賽了。miss the game“錯過”；play the game“玩游戲”；watch the game“觀看比賽”；start the game“開始比賽”。

12.2】D　當(dāng)又過去了半個小時(shí)后，我的憤怒變成了“(擔(dān)心)害怕”。后文緊接著說了擔(dān)心：心臟病發(fā)作還是出了意外。fear“害怕”；sadness“悲傷”；surprise“吃驚”；doubt“懷疑”。

13.3】B　此處選詞與上題一脈相承，所以選worry“擔(dān)心”。envy“嫉妒”；regret“后悔”；cry“哭泣”。

14.4】D　我給他打了約十次電話，但是父親沒“接電話”。answer“答復(fù)，接電話”；excuse“借口”；way“方法”；time“時(shí)間”。

15.5】C　最終，電話響了，父親“上氣不接下氣地”說“……”。由后文的內(nèi)容還有標(biāo)點(diǎn)可知，此處選breathlessly，意為“上氣不接下氣地”。strangely“奇怪地”；casually“偶然地，無意地，漫不經(jīng)心地”；angrily“生氣地”。

16.6】A　路上遇到別人出了車禍，父親“停車”幫忙。

17.7】A　父親把手機(jī)“落在了”車上，所以直到現(xiàn)在才能打電話。leave“落在了”；lose“失去”；see“看到，看見”；get“獲得”。

18.8】D　收到父親的電話，“得知”他很安全時(shí)，我哭了。我感到如釋重負(fù)。learn“得知，獲悉”；wonder“想知道”；guess“猜測”；expect“期望，期盼”。

19.9】B　這時(shí)，我知道了規(guī)定晚間在家的時(shí)間的重要性。此處指時(shí)間。

20.20】C　規(guī)定晚間在家的時(shí)間是為了知道你愛的人“安全(回家)”。safe“安全的”；confident“自信的”；great“偉大的”； honest“誠實(shí)的”。
