My father and I disagreed about curfew (晚间在家的时间). He'd say I was to be in by 9:30 on weekdays, and 11:00 on weekends, no exceptions without my first asking. I told him it made me ____ like a junior­high kid. He explained that while a curfew ____ sound like a restriction, it's really about people looking out for one another.
The very next Friday after that pretty heated ___, my dad and I had tickets to see our town's professional football game. On that day he was ____ to a nearby city to meet with some major clients and ____ me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.
To make sure we could ____ off the moment he walked in, I got everything prepared. When a half hour had passed from the time he said he'd be home, I understood that he was a little ____. But then, nearly a whole hour passed. I was getting ____. We were going to miss the kick­off! And why hadn't he ____ me and let me know he was going to be really late? As I anxiously ____ the floor, another half hour passed. That's when I got really angry. How inconsiderate of my father! Now we were going to ____ the whole game! When yet another half hour passed, my anger turned to ____. What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a heart attack or had been in an accident, or something? I began to really ____. I'd already called his cellphone about ten times, but no ____.
I was beside myself, assuming the worst had happened.
Finally, the phone rang, and my dad said ____, “Son, I'm so sorry about the game, but…there was a terrible accident…on the freeway coming home, and I ____ to help… and ended up going to the hospital. I ____ my cellphone in the car, so I couldn't call until now.”
I was so relieved to hear from my father and to ____ that he was safe that I actually cried. That was ____ I “got” the importance of a curfew: Checking in! It's about knowing that someone you love is ____. It was one more proof of my father's loving me as much as he does.

解析文章大意:父亲规定我在平时晚上9点30分前回家,周末晚上11点前回家。我对此一直不同意,直到有一次发生的一件事让我明白了一个道理。父亲的规定其实是为了我的安全出发而设立的。父亲是爱我的。
【小题1】B 我告诉父亲这项规定让我“感到”自己像初中的学生。feel like“感到像……”。
【小题2】A 父亲解释说晚间在家的时间“可能”像是限制,但是它其实是人们互相照顾。might表示推测,意为“可能”。
【小题3】D 经过热烈的思想“交流”后的那个周五晚上,父亲和我有票去看本镇的职业足球赛。exchange“交流,交换”;speech“演讲”;match“比赛”;description“描写,描述”。
【小题4】B 那一天,父亲“驾车”到附近的城市去会见一些主要客户。drive“驾车”;cycle“骑自行车”;fly“飞”;walk“走”。
【小题5】C 父亲“告诉”我他回家我们再去看球赛的话,时间会很紧。inform“告诉,通知”;allow“允许”;advise“建议”;order“命令”。
【小题6】D 为了保证他一来我们能立刻“出发”,我们把一切事情都准备好了。move off“出发”;pay off“付清,奏效,成功”;hold off“拖延,抵抗, 抗拒”;cut off“切断,使隔绝”。
【小题7】A 他说好回家的时间过了半个小时后,我知道他会“迟到”。late“迟到”;lazy“懒惰”;forgetful“健忘的,好忘事的”;careless“粗心的”。
【小题8】A 然后,一个小时过去了。我越来越“心烦”了。upset“心烦的”;sorry“抱歉的”;rude“粗心的”;puzzled“困惑的”。
【小题9】C 我们会误了足球赛了。为什么他不“打电话”告诉我他会迟到呢?phone“打电话”;warn“警告”;signal“向……发信号,用动作(手势)示意”;show“展示”。
【小题10】B 当我焦急地在地上“踱步”时,半个小时又过去了。pace“踱步,走来走去”;hit“击打”;clear“清除”;measure“衡量”。
【小题11】C 父亲还没回来。我们要“错过”整个比赛了。miss the game“错过”;play the game“玩游戏”;watch the game“观看比赛”;start the game“开始比赛”。
【小题12】D 当又过去了半个小时后,我的愤怒变成了“(担心)害怕”。后文紧接着说了担心:心脏病发作还是出了意外。fear“害怕”;sadness“悲伤”;surprise“吃惊”;doubt“怀疑”。
【小题13】B 此处选词与上题一脉相承,所以选worry“担心”。envy“嫉妒”;regret“后悔”;cry“哭泣”。
【小题14】D 我给他打了约十次电话,但是父亲没“接电话”。answer“答复,接电话”;excuse“借口”;way“方法”;time“时间”。
【小题15】C 最终,电话响了,父亲“上气不接下气地”说“……”。由后文的内容还有标点可知,此处选breathlessly,意为“上气不接下气地”。strangely“奇怪地”;casually“偶然地,无意地,漫不经心地”;angrily“生气地”。
【小题16】A 路上遇到别人出了车祸,父亲“停车”帮忙。
【小题17】A 父亲把手机“落在了”车上,所以直到现在才能打电话。leave“落在了”;lose“失去”;see“看到,看见”;get“获得”。
【小题18】D 收到父亲的电话,“得知”他很安全时,我哭了。我感到如释重负。learn“得知,获悉”;wonder“想知道”;guess“猜测”;expect“期望,期盼”。
【小题19】B 这时,我知道了规定晚间在家的时间的重要性。此处指时间。
【小题20】C 规定晚间在家的时间是为了知道你爱的人“安全(回家)”。safe“安全的”;confident“自信的”;great“伟大的”; honest“诚实的”。

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors gathered, discussing the exam due to begin in a few    . On their faces was confidence(自信). This was their last exam—then on to    and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they    get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt ready and able to take    of  the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)             task. The professor had said they could bring          books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not         each other during the test.
they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles      on the students’ faces as they noted there were only five essay-type questions.
Three hours had passed        the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the        faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?”        a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished       .” But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I       ,” He said. “I just want to impress upon you that        you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the          you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively         in everyday practice.” Then smiling, he added, “You will all       this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education has just       .”
Over years they have        the name of  his professor, but not the lesson he taught.

Travis laughed as he tore at the wrapping paper on his birthday present. He was so       ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball       , Chuck Hart.         Hart was criticized for his poor sportsmanship and infamous      , he was a great player. In fact, Travis wasn't thinking about Hart' s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s       on the side of the box. The first indication that something was       came as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was       for his amazing work in the community.
Travis’s hands       ; his heart stopped. It wasn't that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think ?
They were the wrong shoes and Travis would be       by the other players. When he looked up into his dad' s eyes, however, Travis decided he      not tell him. "'Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes," Travis said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
Next morning his dad drove him to school. When they       in front of his destination, Travis slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
“Hey, Travis, wait a minute, look…” his dad said       ,“Travis, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)      . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Travis’s feet, “is someone I       . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in      ?”
“No,” Travis said.
“Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a (n)       when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Travis,       you were polite and made the best of it. You have such a good       , like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I’m hoping that someday, your name will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
When Travis looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes       . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful       .
