B

Walking home from work with a family friend，I found myself in a discussion about her daughter's going to college.

It started with the mother telling me that she had no money to help her daughter go through college，which led the mother to push the community college fiercely.She then started to say how she had been pushing“high­paying”fields on her daughter－doctor，engineer，lawyer，etc.When I asked her if that was what her daughter had interest in，she said no.I asked her what the point was to push her daughter into something that she didn't like，and she responded with，“I just want her to make a good fortune.”

After hearing her words，I would like to state that money is not everything.A high­paying job means nothing if you are miserable.I used to do a high­paying job，but it was very tiring and I had no time of my own.I didn't like it at all.Though the pay was good，I was not happy.

So I'd like to tell parents，please do not force your children into a major or a career just because you think they are going to make a lot of money.They would feel terrible for taking that major or job just to comfort you.The worst part is the feeling of guilty when they decide to change that major to something they actually want or when they quit that job.

Being a member of a generation who are willing to give absolutely everything to our kids，we know we just hope our children could live happy lives.Please do not force a career path on our children just because we think it is good for them.Give our children advice，but don't force them.

【语篇解读】　本文是对父母的忠告：不要为了让孩子将来多赚钱而逼迫他们学习自己不喜欢的专业或从事他们不喜欢的工作。

A．She thought highly of the community college.

B．She got along very well with her daughter.

5．The mother chose the fields for her daughter mainly because________．

A．her daughter really liked those fields

B．she thought those fields were interesting

C．those fields wouldn't cost much at college

D．she considered them to be high­paying fields

D　[细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，这位妈妈之所以让她的女儿学那些专业，是因为那些专业的学生将来挣钱多。]

6．Why did the writer mention her story in Paragraph 3?

A．To prove that high­paying jobs mean nothing.

B．To show that not all high­paying jobs are satisfying.

C．To prove that high­paying jobs make people miserable.

D．To show that low­paying jobs are better than high­paying jobs.

B　[推理判断题。根据上下文可知，作者通过那位妈妈的故事来引出话题，再用自己的故事表明并不是所有的高薪工作都是令人满意的。故选B。]

Ⅲ.阅读七选五

What is a big dream？__1__Or，is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams，but there are three barriers to realizing dreams.They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.

The Self

Immediately following the birth of a big dream，a negative self­talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it can't happen.This inside voice is the ego(自我).It is there for protecting and should be listened to.Sometimes it is right，but more often it is wrong.__2__That's why only a handful of people make their dreams come true.

__3__

Family and friends are a lot like the ego.They want to protect those they love，so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won't come true.Sometimes，family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most，out of their own fear of being left behind.

The World

If one gets past the first two barriers，one has to face the world.__4__In the past，big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world.Fortunately，in most of the world today，big dreamers just get laughed at.

The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action.When children have confidence and then take action，they will be ready to accept any failure.The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well.__5__

A．How Big Dreams Die

B．Family and Friends

C．They simply fail until they succeed.

D．Does a big dream show one's future?

E．Most people are influenced by the inside voice.

F．It is the last and the most terrible barrier.

G．And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了什么是伟大的梦想以及实现它可能遇到的三大障碍。

1．D　[根据下文的“Or，is a big dream something that provides only entertainment？”可知，此处是一个选择疑问句，分析选项并结合句意可知，D项(伟大的梦想显示一个人的未来吗？)符合题意。故选D。]

2．E　[该段主要叙述自我带给自己的一些影响，所以E项(大部分人受这种内部声音的影响)符合题意。其中inside voice是线索词，故选E。]

3．B　[本段第一句“Family and friends are a lot like the ego.”就提到了朋友和家人，而且本段主要讲述了家人和朋友对个人梦想实现的影响，因此B项(家人和朋友)概括准确，故选B。]

4．F　[上文说“If one gets past the first two barriers，one has to face the world.”(如果一个人已经通过了前两个障碍，将面对的就是外面的世界)与F(那是最后一个也是最糟糕的障碍)语义衔接，故选F。]

5．C　[上文说“every great dreamer...knows failure well”(每一个伟大的梦想家都很清楚失败)与C项(他们只是失败直到成功)语义衔接，故选C。]
