本文通過(guò)作者因平時(shí)無(wú)時(shí)間概念而導(dǎo)致一次接機(jī)遲到未能完成任務(wù)并因此受到父親批評(píng)的教訓(xùn)，談到自己對(duì)時(shí)間認(rèn)識(shí)的變化并號(hào)召讀者牢記時(shí)間的重要性。

1.B從下文的until 1 received a watch from my father that organized my life，可知用organ?ized，指 細(xì)分時(shí)間。

2.A從上文的轉(zhuǎn)折副詞however可知，作者在其父送給他手表之前是沒(méi)有認(rèn)識(shí)到時(shí)間的重要性的。

3.D有了安排時(shí)間的手表，作者再也不能隨心所欲了，所以手表"使得他更有責(zé)任感"最符合邏輯。

4.B此句是在描述手表，當(dāng)然是戴在手腕上，所以用wrist。

5.A既然手表能計(jì)劃人的時(shí)間，那就表明這塊表是在告訴他時(shí)間是很重要的。

6.C從下文he handed me this watch as a gift 可知，用gift最貼切。thing所指太廣泛，不確切;matter指"物質(zhì)"、"事情";object雖在上文出現(xiàn),但與gift相比，不具感情色彩。

7.B到機(jī)場(chǎng)去就是去接人，所以，用pick up。call up為"打電話";put up為"舉起";bring up為"培養(yǎng)"。

8.C從前一句和后一句的關(guān)系可看出來(lái)是轉(zhuǎn)折的關(guān)系。作者本該上午9點(diǎn)去機(jī)場(chǎng)接叔叔的，然而，因?yàn)楹团笥岩黄鹜妫�遲到了。

9.B 11點(diǎn)了作者記起了接他叔叔的事情，不然就不會(huì)有下文到機(jī)場(chǎng)的事了。

10.D

11.C從下文看，顯然作者的叔叔已經(jīng)離開(kāi)機(jī)場(chǎng)。

12.A當(dāng)看到爸爸生氣的臉和疲憊的叔叔時(shí)，作者自然對(duì)自己所做的事感到羞愧了。Sor?ry與后面的搭配不符。

13.A從句子結(jié)構(gòu)來(lái)看，此處應(yīng)為引導(dǎo)地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)從句的連接副詞。所以應(yīng)填where。

14.B父親的問(wèn)話影射對(duì)作者因玩過(guò)頭而忘了接機(jī)一事的批評(píng)，所以用fun表"開(kāi)心"。

15.B很顯然，爸爸是在批評(píng)作者那天的事情做得不好，所以用nice。

16.C根據(jù)上文what he did可知，父親要作者感到抱歉的是自己的行為。

 17.D父親在作者犯錯(cuò)誤的那天把手表給他，真可謂用心良苦。this watch will be a re?minder for you 一語(yǔ)雙關(guān)，一關(guān)即這塊表可以提醒作者要守時(shí) ,另一關(guān)即此手表可以提醒作者接機(jī)那天的失職。所以用reminder

18.A從第一段第三句可知。

19.B既然是獲得了教訓(xùn)，此句肯定是想表達(dá)"尊重時(shí)間，永遠(yuǎn)不再遲到"的意思。

20.D此句點(diǎn)題。從文章開(kāi)始句可知，這只手表是有重要意義的。
