The turning point of my life was my decision to give up my business job and study music. My parents, although sharing my love of music, didn39。t think it was a good choice that I took up music as a job. Considering my family background, this was understandable. My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Spring Hill College in Mobile, and though he was much loved by his students, he didn39。t earn（掙錢） enough to provide for his large family. As a result of this example in the family, my parents strongly asked me to go to the college instead of a conservatory（音樂學院） of music although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing. Before my graduation from Columbia, the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and take a job. That was why I took a business job, which I always think of as the wasted years. I went into it for money, for being able to help the family. Money is all I go out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by. My wish was to save enough to quit（退出）and then go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, I earned enough to make myself able to go abroad. The family got out of the trouble and ▲ . I felt like a free man and sailed for Europe. I stayed for four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working and enjoyed every minute of it. Enjoyed is too soft a word. I walked on air. I really lived. When I broke away from business, it was against the advice of all my friends and family, but if I had stayed in business, I do not believe I would have made a success of living.（1）The writer presented his grandpa39。s example in order to . A.show how much his grandpa was loved by his studentsB.tell to be a musician wasn39。t a good choice for the writerC.explain why his parents disagreed him to take up music as a jobD.thank his parents39。 support for studying in the conservatory of music（2）How did the writer feel when he was taking his business job? A.Successful.B.Shameful.C.Hopeful.D.Painful.（3）Which of the following can best fill in the blank in Paragraph 4? A.my point was that business was not for me.B.my help was no longer necessary.C.I earned so much to support my family.D.I got up early to practice the violin.（4）From the underlined sentence I walked on air, it can be inferred that the writer . A.couldn39。t find his place in a new environmentB.couldn39。t make a success of livingC.felt free because he was doing what he lovedD.felt pity for beginning a new life【答案】 （1）C（2）D（3）B（4）C 【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章通過爺爺?shù)墓适赂嬖V我們?yōu)樯端母改阜磳λ麖氖乱魳饭ぷ鳎胶髞碚嬲淖隽俗约合矚g做的事。 （1）推理判斷題 My grandfather had taught music for nearly forty years at Spring Hill College in Mobile, and though he was much loved by his students, he didn39。t earn（掙錢） enough to provide for his large family. 可知，作者引用他爺爺?shù)睦邮莵砀嬖V我們從事音樂工作掙不到錢，不能夠養(yǎng)家，從而說明他的父母不同意他從事音樂事業(yè)。故答案是C。 （2）推理判斷題，根據(jù)That was why I took a business job, which I always think of as the wasted years.作者經(jīng)商的目的是為了幫助家人，但是對于他而言，他認為是浪費時間，因此可以推測他是痛苦的。故答案是D。 （3）信息匹配題，根據(jù) The family got out of the trouble 可知，他的家人已經(jīng)走出了困境。一開始我們就知道作者經(jīng)商的目的是為了幫助家人，既然家人已經(jīng)走出了困境，那么他的幫助也不再必要了。故答案是B。 （4）推理判斷題，根據(jù) I felt like a free man and sailed for Europe. I stayed for four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working and enjoyed every minute of it. 可知，作者向往自由，而I walked on air直譯為在空中行走，沒有牽掛，沒有認可阻攔，因此這一句話的目的是他已經(jīng)感受到了自由，這樣就可以做自己喜歡做的事。故答案是C。 【點評】考查閱讀理解，本題主要涉及到了推理判斷題，推理判斷題相對來說是一種比較難以掌握的題型，除了要充分理解，還必須要進行合理的推理論證在能夠得到正確答案，而信息匹配題則需要先理解選項的意思，然后根據(jù)空缺處前后句的邏輯關(guān)系去取舍，最終確定答案。 6．閱讀
