一、阅读理解
When I was in the sixth grade, I became a big K-pop (Korean pop) fan. Almost half the students at my middle school were Korean and almost all of them listened to Korean music, especially K-pop. I had never been interested in it. It sounded too strange to me, but all changed in the sixth grade when the huge hit Gee came out. All my friends were singing the chorus and imitating the dance. Gee fever sucked me into K-pop. It became my life. I listened to K-pop non-stop and filled my iPod with it. In a month, I had memorized the names of countless members of boy and girl bands and stuck pictures of my singer "boyfriends" on my walls. I would ditch my weekend art and math classes and go to concerts with my friends. This would always result in my mom shouting that I was wasting my life. My mom thought K-pop was trash and wanted me to like classical music as she did. But classical music made me sleepy.
Every day during middle school I went to a K-pop gossip and news site called allkpop.com. On this site I learned that I could audition(试音) to become a singer in a K-pop band. The shining clothes, thousands of screaming fans and hearing them chant my name seemed much more exciting than being a middle school student. Becoming a K-pop star was all I wanted.
I started watching the audition videos of current stars and reading blog posts from people who had auditioned. They explained much about the audition. This made me want to audition even more. After watching those videos, I saw that most of the current stars weren’t that amazing in their auditions and that each singer had improved so much through training. I had never had vocal lessons(声乐课) and didn’t think of myself as a good singer. "But if they could do it, I could do that too," I thought.
1.What caused the author to fall in love with K-pop?
A. Her Korean origin. B.A new style of dance.
C. Her friends’ influence. D. The popularity of Gee.
2.The underlined word "ditch" in Paragraph 1 probably means "________".
A. forget B. attend C. ignore D. hate
3.What do we know about the author’s mother?
A. She has no interest in music.
B. She has a low opinion of K-pop.
C. She doesn’t care about her daughter.
D. She prefers K-pop to classical music.
4.After visiting allkpop.com, the author ________.
A. dreamed of becoming a pop singer
B. called the manager of the news site
C. contacted people who had auditioned
D. knew she would never become a singer
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。大多数人都认为肿瘤科护士这一职业是让人感到很压抑的,然而我却挚爱着这个职业。有时会有病人痊愈的奇迹发生,而我就是这奇迹创造过程中的一分子。
1.D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句可知,当奇迹发生时,我就是这个奇迹创造过程中的一分子。因此D项正确。
2.A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段可知,在我当护士的16年中,总是有人在问同样的问题:当肿瘤科的护士不令人感到沮丧吗?这说明大多数人不喜欢这个职业。因此A项正确。
4.A 【解析】标题归纳题。全文主要谈论的是我选择护士职业的理由,因此A项正确。而B项作为文章标题过大;C项以偏概全,不能作为文章的标题;D项显然是对医院的阐述,不符合语篇主旨。
