二、阅读理解 (共两节，满分40分)

第一节 (共15个小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

A

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War Ⅲ. She'll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don't plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don't want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that

I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had

a heart attack.

“Why can't you be like my co-worker's son？” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker's son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70，000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don't know what to answer except that I simply can't be like Mr Perfect as I've called the unnamed co-worker's son. I can't be like him. I'm the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame(名声) or salary.

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I've seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6：30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn't mean I'll be successful. I'd rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

21．Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?

A. The writer's future job.

B. The writer's studies.

C. Dinner plans.

D. Wars around the world. 22．We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the writer's mother ________．

A. doesn't think working in the science field is a good idea.

B. doesn't think the writer should be a doctor

C. gets along very well with the writer

D. doesn't want the writer to major in English

23．The underlined word “bemoans”in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”．

A. agrees

B. shouts

C. complains

D. smiles

24．Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?

A. He wants to be like his mother's co-worker's son.

B. He wants to do something he really likes in the future.

C. He doesn't think his mother's co-worker's son is perfect.

D. He wants to find a job in his community in the future.

At Westlake College，more than 60 percent of the staff(职员) use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said，“Here we're in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a_window_on_the_world．They can see everything and do everything.”
