Question

閱讀理解

 The singer,Mick J agger,of The Rolling Stones sings a song that tells people they can't always get what they want but if they try some?times they can get what they need. For the past years in my life my par?ents have told me this saying many times. I've always complained about the quote (引語) ,although over time I have told myself to learn from it.

  This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm Beach,Florida. That has been a killer for me because I haven't been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school.The last two months have been hard but we are working through it. I have been trying to get my dad to buy me a plane ticket to go there. My dad tolcl me if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket. I started to complain to him because I had no way of getting any money to give him. I spent several days and nights thinking of ways to earn money to go to see my girl?friend. I finally came to the conclusion that I would get a job and work hard to earn some money to give to my dad. I applied to Safeway and I ended up getting the job.

  I have been working at Safeway for about a month now and I work hard to earn money to go to see my girlfriend. The other day my mum had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks,I was very thankful and told her I would help pay for anything that I had to. The thought of my working hard and getting a job showed my mum that I really cared and was trying my best to be a successful per?son. I believe that you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes you can get what you need.

Answer 1

[文章大意]作者的父母引用歌詞教育作者，凡事要靠自己努力。

1. D推理判斷題。由第一段最后一句"I've always complained about the quote (引語) ，although over time I have told myself to learn from it."可知，盡管作者總是抱怨，但他自己也承認(rèn)從中學(xué)到了東西，這正是父母引用歌詞的目的所在。

2. A同義猜測題。由下文的"…because I haven't been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school."可知,作者的女友去上大學(xué)了，自己感覺很孤獨(dú)，而且女友在學(xué)校過得不太好，由此可以推出killer意為"一些使人煩惱的事情"。

3. C推理判斷題。從"…if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket."及"―ended up getting the job."和"...work hard to earn money to go to see my girlfriend."可知，作者用實(shí)際行動(dòng)感動(dòng)了他的母親，從而得到了她的幫助。

4. D推理判斷題。作者寫這篇文章的目的是告訴我們凡事要靠自己，要學(xué)會(huì)自立。
