Question

【题目】第二节阅读填空

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. She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, 【1】. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English and communication, she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why can’ t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she complains all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship. He is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer, 【2】 I simply can’t be like her co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the Sun goes down, and most of all, 【3】 not because of fame or salary.

【4】 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, 【5】 I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

【解析】

短文大意：文章讲述了妈妈和我对待未来工作的不同态度。

【1】根据And much to her disappointment可知，备选句子I don’t want to do any job related to science either.（我也不想做任何与科学有关的工作）和母亲的意愿相违背，符合句意，故选D。

【2】根据下文“我”的态度I simply can’t be like her co-worker’s son.可知不知该怎样回答母亲，备选句子I don’t know how to answer her符合句意，故选B。

【3】根据下文not because of fame or salary不是因为名声或薪水，可知I wants to achieve a career because I love it解释真正原因（因为喜欢所选的事业）符合句意，故选C。

【4】根据下文对母亲艰辛生活的描述I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours.可知，备选句子I understand why my mother is worried about my future major.表达理解之意符合语境，故选E。

【5】根据上文However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor,可推知，想让母亲知道的是违背自己意愿去做医生不一定能做好，备选句子it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful.符合句意，故选A。
