11.Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone(克。琻ot in features but in footsteps.As he grows you also age,and your ambitions(報復(fù)、雄心) become more unachievable.You begin to realize that your boy,in your footsteps,could probably accomplish(完成) what you hoped for.But footsteps can be muddied(污濁) and they can go off in different directions.
My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten.Science projects waited until the last moment.Book reports weren't written until the final threat(威脅).
I've been a newspaperman all my adult life.My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master's degree in English.But Jody?When he entered the tenth grade he became a"vo-tech"student(技校學(xué)生).They're called"motorheads"by the rest of the student body.
When a secretary in my office first called him"motorhead",I was shocked."Hey,he's a good kid,"I wanted to say."And smart,really."
I learned later that motorheads are,indeed,different.They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes.And they don't often make school honor rolls(光榮榜).
But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education.We who work in clean shirts in offices don't have the abilities that motorheads have.I began to learn this when I had my car crashed(壞了).The cost to repair it was estimated at 800."Hey,I can fix it,"said Jody.I doubted it,but let him go ahead,for I had nothing to lose.
My son,with other motorheads,fixed the car.They got parts(零件)from a junkyard,non-toasting toaster have been fixed.Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repair to him.
Since that first repair job,a broken air-conditioner,a non-functioning washer and a non-toasting toaster have been fixed.Neighbors and co-workers trust their car repairs to him.
These kids are happiest when doing repairs.They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world.And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.
I have learned a lot from my motorhead:publishers need printers,engineers need mechanics,and architects need builders.Most important,I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.
My son may never make the school honor roll.But he made mine.

分析 本文先講述了一種社會現(xiàn)象--父母希望孩子成為自己的"克隆",希望孩子能繼續(xù)"接力"自己年輕時的任務(wù).隨后作者通過記敘自己在校表現(xiàn)并不優(yōu)異的兒子的幫自己修好了車的事例來表達觀點--出版社需要打字員,工程需要技工,建筑行業(yè)需要建造者,每個人都有自己的價值,只要用在合適的地方.作者為自己的兒子感到驕傲,雖然他從未上過學(xué)校的光榮榜.
解答 24-27 DCBA
24 D 推理判斷題.本題需理解作者一開始對兒子的寄望是什么.由第一段的第一句話可以推斷出來Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone,not in features but in footsteps.(每個人都希望他的兒子成為自己某方面的克隆,不是外表的克隆,而是在"傳承"上的克。┛梢,作者也是其中之一.因此答案為D.
25 C 細節(jié)理解題.在第五段可以找到答案.I doubted it,but let him go ahead,for I had nothing to lose.可知,我讓兒子修車的原因是--我并沒有什么損失.因此答案為C.
26 B 深層理解題.本題需要判斷作者情感態(tài)度.由倒數(shù)第二段可以找到信息,These kids are happiest when doing repairs.They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world.And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.可知,答案為B.
27 A 深層理解題.本題需猜測作者情感態(tài)度.由最后一段可知作者想要表達的全文的中心思想.publishers need printers,engineers need mechanics,and architects need builders.Most important,I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.My son may never make the school honor roll.But he made mine.作者對社會上的普遍觀點是持否定態(tài)度的--希望自己孩子"繼承"自己的志愿是不明智的.因此答案為A.
