Question

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. She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. 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.

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 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. 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.

試題分析：本文主要講述了我和媽媽在為了職業(yè)設(shè)置方面所存在的分歧，我想從事于英語(yǔ)和社區(qū)交際有關(guān)的工作，而媽媽想要我做醫(yī)生之類的工作。

1. 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段第三句She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either.可知媽媽和我談話的主要內(nèi)容是我未來(lái)所從事的工作。故B正確。

2. 推理題。根據(jù)文章第一段第五句In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.可知當(dāng)我告訴媽媽我要主修英語(yǔ)和交際的時(shí)候，她好像患了心臟病。本句說(shuō)明媽媽反對(duì)我主修英語(yǔ)。故A正確。

3.C 猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)本句]“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer.媽媽問(wèn)我“為什么我就不像它同事的兒子？”可知媽媽一直在抱怨我不聽(tīng)從她的建議。故C正確。

4.D 推理題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句I can’t be like him. 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.可知我只想做自己想做的事情。故D正確。
