_ I was_______ the point of telephoning him when his letter arrived.

A.in               B.to               C.at               D.on

第二節(jié)  完形填空（共20小題；每小題1分，滿分20分）

請閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從36～55各題所給的四個選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D中），選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該選項(xiàng)的標(biāo)號涂黑。

My parents passed away ten years ago and I miss them terribly. But I know they are with me every day in what they taught me and in the __36__ they gave me. Every morning my father’s message to me was: Remember that __37__ you walk out of this door, you carry responsibility, the good name of this family, the hopes and dreams of your mom and dad. My mother often urged me to __38__ the high standards she set for me.

When I was in high school, I played in a rock band with friends in my class. We were devoted and practiced constantly. We moved past the guys-in-a-garage stage and __39__ to be pretty good, doing getting-paid gigs (演奏會) most weekends, which made me __40__. At that time, though part of me was __41__ up in that band, another part of me was the oldest son in the Clark family, __42__ of my origin and a dedicated student busy applying to colleges. Without even telling my parents, I applied to Harvard. I didn’t think I had much chance of getting in, __43__ I wanted to try. So I was riding around being Mr Cool Rock Musician half of the time, and the other half I was focused on family and __44__ goals. I was running on parallel __45__.

When the group won a city wide Battle of the Bands, things heated up. My band mates had stars in their eyes —— we might be able to make it big. However, I began to feel __46__. I realized I was on quite different tracks: I __47__ was becoming two people, __48__ identities back and forth depending on who I was with. I had to make an option. As I considered my __49__, my parents’ words were right there, helping me to see that my dreams weren’t about signing a record deal, letting my hair grow, and living in a tour bus. So I __50__ out. My bandmasters were __51__. They thought I was crazy to withdraw __52__ the peak of real success. But however successful that band got, I knew it wasn’t in line with my __53__, with my feeling of what I was __54__ to do, with who I was —— it simply wasn’t me.

In that instant and in many others throughout my life, my parent’s advice has helped me recenter and __55__. I could remember who I was —— the hopes and dreams I carried.
