题目内容
15.The singer,Mick Jagger,of the Rolling Stones sings a song that tells people they can't always get what they want but if we try sometimes we can get what we need.The past years in my life my parents have told me this saying many times.I've always complained about the quote(引语).Although over time I have told myself to learn from it.This year my girlfriend flew off to college in West Palm,Florida.This 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 down there.My dad told 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 see my girlfriend.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 work hard to earn money to go see my girlfriend.The other day my mom had surprised me and told me that she asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅费) 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 have to.The thought of me working hard and getting a job showed my mom that I really cared and was trying my best to be a successful person.I believe that you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes,you get what you need.

分析 作者的父亲总是引用歌词教育作者,凡事要靠自己的努力,作者就只凭借自己的努力满足了打动父母,如愿以偿的拿到了去看女朋友的票.
解答 1.D 推理判断题.由作者在第一段最后的"I've always complained about the quote(引语).Although over time I have told myself to learn from it."尽管作者总是抱怨,但自己也承认学从中学到了东西,这正是父母引用的目的所在.
2.A 考查词义猜测.由下文的解释"because I haven't been able to see her and she is having a rough time in school."可以看出,女朋友离开去上大学了,自己感觉很孤独,再加上女友在学校"having a rough time",由此可以看出,这正是上文所说的killer,一些使人烦恼的事情.
3.C 推理判断题.当作者提出让父母出钱买票去看女友的时候,父亲的答复是:作者得出钱,即:"if I brought him some money he would help me pay for the ticket."后来作者找了份工作(ended up getting the job),并努力赚钱买票(work hard to earn money to go see my girlfriend.),正是作者的实际行动感动了作者的妈妈,从而"asked her boss if she could use their business miles(旅费) to buy me a ticket down to Florida for two weeks."
4.D 主旨大意题.作者用开篇用一句歌词引出了主题,只要:只要努力就能得到自己所需要的.中间用自己的一次经历进行了论证,最后一段在回扣:…trying my best to be a successful person.,I believe that you can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes,you get what you need.,也就是:we should try to rely on ourselves for everything.
