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 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.

【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。母親想讓我學習醫(yī)學，成為一名醫(yī)生，但是“我”并不喜歡當醫(yī)生。“我”很理解母親的想法，但是也不想放棄自己的夢想。

1.細節(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。

2.細節(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.當我告訴母親想要學習英語時，她的心碎了。我們可以判斷出，母親不想讓我學習英語。故選A。

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。可知作者會堅持自己的夢想，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。

4.細節(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點半出門，晚上5點甚至6點才回來。由此我們可以判斷答案為A。

考點：日常生活類短文閱讀。
