  “Now,”Mrs Virginia DeView said, smiling,“we are going to discover our professions.”The class seemed to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be 1 .“Yes, you will all be searching for your future 2 . Each of you will have to 3 . Someone in your field, plus give an oral report.”

  Each day in her class, Virginia De View reminded us about this. Finally, I picked print journalism. This 4 I had to go to interview a true-blue newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him 5 able to speak. He looked at me and said,“Did you bring a pencil or pen?”

  I shook my head.

  “How about some 6 ?”

  I shook my head again.

  Finally, I thought he realized I was 7 , and I got my first big tip as a 8 .“Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper. You never know what you'll run into.”After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from 9 in class. I got an A on the entire project.

  Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I 10 Virginina DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn't 11 me. They just reminded me how competitive the field was and 12 all my life I had run away from competition. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my blood. 13 gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was 14 .

  For the past 12 years, I've had the most satisfying reporting career, 15 stories from murders to airplanes crashes and 16 choosing my strongest area. 17 I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories hit me and I realized that had it not been 18 Virginia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.

  I get 19 all the time:“How did you pick journalism?”

  “Well, you see, there was this teacher…”I always start out. I just wish I could 20 her.

答案:B;C;A;D;A;D;C;B;D;C;C;A;A;D;C;B;B;A;D;C
解析:

1B 前文談到Virginia De View讓這些十三四歲的學(xué)生思考他們未來的職業(yè),學(xué)生理解不了,猜想他們的老師一定是“瘋了”。

2C 前文的we are going to discover our professions以及our professions這兩處都暗示了此答案,而且全文都在談職業(yè)的事情。

3A 后文中談到作者第一次去采訪從事該職業(yè)領(lǐng)域的有關(guān)人士,由此我們可知他的老師的要求是學(xué)生作調(diào)查,然后采訪,最后作口頭報告。

4D 作者選擇了新聞業(yè),根據(jù)老師的要求,這就“意味著”要去采訪報業(yè)記者。

5A 上文談到作者內(nèi)心感到緊張,以及下文總是搖頭,這里填hardly表示“幾乎不能講話”。

6D 下文中談到那位被采訪者對作者談到“Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper.”可見,這兒應(yīng)填paper,上下文才能照應(yīng)。

7C 上文有交代,作者采訪這個真正的新聞記者時,就已經(jīng)緊張得連話都說不出來了,在采訪的過程中,當然就覺得terrified。

8B 該句為全文點題之處。作者之所以后來成為一名出色的記者,與這次見面有很大的關(guān)系。因為這是作者第一次作為一名記者采訪別人而獲得做一名記者的第一個訣竅。

9D from memory為固定短語,意為“憑記憶”,指作者親身經(jīng)歷了這些事情,所以做口頭報告時,胸有成竹,不用看講稿。其他選項不合題意。

10C 作者在幾年后,找工作陷入困境,突然“記起”他兒時的那位老師和他曾經(jīng)做過的職業(yè)----記者。

11C 從后文的句子“They just reminded me…”來看,作者的父母并沒有阻攔他當記者。

12A 作者的父母提醒作者說記者行業(yè)競爭激烈,而且作者又是“多么地”害怕并回避競爭。

13A itjournalism,與前一句相照應(yīng)。

14D 既然是采訪,當然是問對方所發(fā)生的情況了(what was going on)

15C 當了12年的記者“報道了”從謀殺案到飛機失事等各種新聞。cover意為“報道”;cover story意為“值得報道的人物或事實”。

16.B 作者找到自己的正確位置和職業(yè)后,“最后”安頓在他最擅長的領(lǐng)域記者行業(yè)。

17B 作者找到自己的正確位置和職業(yè)后,“最后”安頓在他最擅長的領(lǐng)域即記者行業(yè)! 17A 注意這句后面有one day,所以填when,表示“當……時候”,整句意為:當我有一天拿起電話時,潮水般的記憶向我涌來。

18A 本句完整結(jié)構(gòu)為if it had not been for…意為“要不是因為……”,省掉if后,had要放在it之前,構(gòu)成倒裝句,這句在全文中起重要作用:作者終于意識到如果沒有Virginia DeView當初不可理解地要他的十三四歲的學(xué)生去搞職業(yè)調(diào)查,他就沒有今天。

19D get asked表示“被人問起”,符合上下文,全句意思為“當有人問起我為什么要當記者時,我總是……”。

20C 當別人問起我做記者的原因時,我總是回答說“因為一位老師……”,借此我希望能向她表示“謝意”。

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to   36   a different life. It was a transitional(過渡的) time in Daniel’s life. I wanted to   37   him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the   38   time I had let such moments pass.

When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked     39     the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar   40   played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him  41    and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words   42   me.

What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?   47   as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always   48   never hearing him put his    49   into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so   50   to tell a son something from the heart?

My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That’s all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world   51   , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn’t understand what he was saying. All I was   52   of was the stubble(短須) on his chin as his face pressed    53    mine. What I had said to Daniel was   54   . It was nothing. And yet, it was    55     .

36. A. experience           B. spend             C. enjoy               D. shape

37. A. show              B. give                C. leave               D. instruct
