My father and I disagreed about curfew (晚间

题目内容：

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.

答案解析：

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”。
