Roy wasn’t the only one to receive his call-up(入伍) papers. Stephen Napier’s call-up came at the beginning of February and he was pleased to find that he would be going into the Royal Air Force(RAF).
His father was not so pleased and made his feelings known as he and Stephen were on their daily walk. It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate(地产) when the time came, and although Stephen was well aware of this, he could think of no reason not to accompany him.
“Though you’d forgotten that nonsense. Still, I dare say I could pull a few strings to get you to the Army. . . ”
“No, Father! I have told you I want to learn to fly. What chance would I have to do that in the Army? I’d be better off in the Navy—at least they’ve got the Fleet Air Arm. But I have been put in the RAF and that’s where I want to go, so let’s leave it at that. ” His face went red. Sent to his father’s school and then to Cambridge, much to his satisfaction, he had never had to defend his own desires and his father was a hard man to oppose.
The father glared at Stephen, “No, I won’t leave it at that. I want to know what other ridiculous ideas are in your head. For a start, what’s all this about America? ”
“America? ”
“Yes. All those books I saw in your room the other day. Brochures about emigration(移民)．” The big，silvered head lowered，like that of a bull about to charge. “ Don’t trouble to deny it. ”
“I won’t，Father. Some men at Cambridge have been talking about it. They want people like us here，mathematicians and scientists，for all kinds of research—the sort of research I could do. It would be a worthwhile life for me. ”
The father responded exactly as his son had known he would. “You’ve got a worthwhile life here! You’ve got an estate to run！”
“No，Father. You’ve got an estate to run. I never asked for it. Why not ask Baden to do this stuff? He perhaps can make a good job of it，but I. . . ”
“If he were here，I might think about this silly idea of yours—only think about it，mind you—but. . . ”

这是一篇记叙文，通过一位父亲和儿子就儿子是去应征参加皇家空军还是按照父亲的意思接管他的地产展开了激烈的争论，并发生了言语上的冲突。
71．【解析】选A。细节理解题，由第二段It was the first step in his plans for Stephen to take over the estate when the time came，and although Stephen was well aware of this，he could think of no reason not to accompany him. 可知答案。
72．【解析】选D。综合理解判断题。文章结束时也没有给出谁说服谁的结果。所以“Stephen最后被说服了接管父亲的地产”的观点是错误的。
73．【解析】选B。推理判断题。A项(第四段最后一句)和C项(第一段第二句)文章里都提到过，不能说是推断出来的；而Stephen could realize his dream的条件并不是somebody took over the estate。
74．【解析】选A。语句猜测题。根据上下文的语境The big，silvered head lowered，. . . 和“Don’t trouble to deny it. ”及文章的中心内容和该句的中心词charge可以得出答案。
75．【解析】选D。主旨大意题。综合全文信息，我们知道，文章的中心是父子之间在是否参加皇家空军方面的激烈的争论。
