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.

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?

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?

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.”

解析

文章大意:父亲规定我在平时晚上9点30分前回家,周末晚上11点前回家。我对此一直不同意,直到有一次发生的一件事让我明白了一个道理。父亲的规定其实是为了我的安全出发而设立的。父亲是爱我的。
小题1:B 我告诉父亲这项规定让我“感到”自己像初中的学生。feel like“感到像……”。
小题2:A 父亲解释说晚间在家的时间“可能”像是限制,但是它其实是人们互相照顾。might表示推测,意为“可能”。
小题3:D 经过热烈的思想“交流”后的那个周五晚上,父亲和我有票去看本镇的职业足球赛。exchange“交流,交换”;speech“演讲”;match“比赛”;description“描写,描述”。
小题4:B 那一天,父亲“驾车”到附近的城市去会见一些主要客户。drive“驾车”;cycle“骑自行车”;fly“飞”;walk“走”。
小题5:C 父亲“告诉”我他回家我们再去看球赛的话,时间会很紧。inform“告诉,通知”;allow“允许”;advise“建议”;order“命令”。
小题6:D 为了保证他一来我们能立刻“出发”,我们把一切事情都准备好了。move off“出发”;pay off“付清,奏效,成功”;hold off“拖延,抵抗, 抗拒”;cut off“切断,使隔绝”。
小题7:A 他说好回家的时间过了半个小时后,我知道他会“迟到”。late“迟到”;lazy“懒惰”;forgetful“健忘的,好忘事的”;careless“粗心的”。
小题8:A 然后,一个小时过去了。我越来越“心烦”了。upset“心烦的”;sorry“抱歉的”;rude“粗心的”;puzzled“困惑的”。
小题9:C 我们会误了足球赛了。为什么他不“打电话”告诉我他会迟到呢?phone“打电话”;warn“警告”;signal“向……发信号,用动作(手势)示意”;show“展示”。
小题10:B 当我焦急地在地上“踱步”时,半个小时又过去了。pace“踱步,走来走去”;hit“击打”;clear“清除”;measure“衡量”。
小题11:C 父亲还没回来。我们要“错过”整个比赛了。miss the game“错过”;play the game“玩游戏”;watch the game“观看比赛”;start the game“开始比赛”。
小题12:D 当又过去了半个小时后,我的愤怒变成了“(担心)害怕”。后文紧接着说了担心:心脏病发作还是出了意外。fear“害怕”;sadness“悲伤”;surprise“吃惊”;doubt“怀疑”。
小题13:B 此处选词与上题一脉相承,所以选worry“担心”。envy“嫉妒”;regret“后悔”;cry“哭泣”。
小题14:D 我给他打了约十次电话,但是父亲没“接电话”。answer“答复,接电话”;excuse“借口”;way“方法”;time“时间”。
小题15:C 最终,电话响了,父亲“上气不接下气地”说“……”。由后文的内容还有标点可知,此处选breathlessly,意为“上气不接下气地”。strangely“奇怪地”;casually“偶然地,无意地,漫不经心地”;angrily“生气地”。
小题16:A 路上遇到别人出了车祸,父亲“停车”帮忙。
小题17:A 父亲把手机“落在了”车上,所以直到现在才能打电话。leave“落在了”;lose“失去”;see“看到,看见”;get“获得”。
小题18:D 收到父亲的电话,“得知”他很安全时,我哭了。我感到如释重负。learn“得知,获悉”;wonder“想知道”;guess“猜测”;expect“期望,期盼”。
小题19:B 这时,我知道了规定晚间在家的时间的重要性。此处指时间。
小题20:C 规定晚间在家的时间是为了知道你爱的人“安全(回家)”。safe“安全的”;confident“自信的”;great“伟大的”; honest“诚实的”。

JANE AUSTEN(1775—1817)is often regarded as the greatest of English women novelists on the strength of her six completed novels.Known particularly for their social comedy and accurate description of human relationships,they are still as widely read today as they have ever been.
The seventh child of a country priest(牧师),Jane Austen was born on 16 December 1775 at Steventon in Hampshire.Her father ,the Reverend George Austen,was an intelligent and sensitive man who encouraged Jane in her love of reading.From an early age she was familiar with the works of Henry Fielding,Sir Walter Scott,Richardson,Frances Burney and the poet George Crabbe.Her early attempts at writing include burlesques(滑稽作品)of popular romances.When her father retired in 1801 the family moved to Bath,which was later to feature in her novel Northanger Abbey(published in 1818).After his death in 1805 the family moved first to Southampton and then in 1809 to Chawton in Hampshire.where Jane Austen is known to have written her last three novels:Mansfield Park(1814),Emma(1816)and Persuasion(also published in 1818).Although her other novels were written much earlier ,it was not until 1811 that Sense and Sensibility was first published.Pride and Prejudice,which followed in1813,features Jane Austen’own favourite hero,Elizabeth Bennet.
Surrounded by her lively and warm family and wholly buried herself in her writing and housework,Jane Austen led a life often known for its lack of events.She did,however ,attract several admirers and even accepted a proposal of marriage from one admirer-only to change her mind the following morning.Jane Austen’s independent life often seems reflected in her novels,which seem to display the world in miniature(缩影).Sir Walter Scott praised Jane Austen for‘that unique touch which makes ordinary commonplace things and characters interesting’,while Somerset Maugham claimed that she had at her command ‘the most precious gift a novelist can possess’s that of keeping the reader’s interest.Jane Austen died in 1817.

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education.“Teaching means everything to us,” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life"s purpose.
Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton"s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer"s home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire,”Tim recalls.  He placed the brochure on his desk,“as a reminder.”
Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library .com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look­see. “We didn"t want to give the children rubbish,” says Linda. The books reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists and Dollywood board members included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats"s The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney"s Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I"ve never heard of .”
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die,” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”
小题1:What let Tim think seriously about the meaning of life?
A.His health problem.B.His love for teaching.
C.The influence of his wife.D.The news from the Web.
小题2:What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?
A.Give out brochures.B.Do something similar.
C.Write books for children.D.Retire from being a teacher.
小题3:According to the text,Dolly Parton is________.
A.a well­known surgeonB.a mother of a four­year­old
C.a singer born in TennesseeD.a computer programmer
小题4:Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?
A.To avoid signing up online.
B.To meet Dollywood board members.
C.To make sure the books were the newest.
D.To see if the books were of good quality.
