第三部分 閱讀理解(共10小題;每小題2分,滿分20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. Shell talk about my lack of a bright future because I dont plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I dont 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 cant you be like my co-workers son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-workers son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I dont know what to answer except that I simply cant be like Mr. Perfect as Ive called the unnamed co-workers son. I cant be like him. Im 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(名聲)or salary.
I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. Ive 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 doesnt mean Ill be successful. Id rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

Bend over, take a deep breath and drink some water for 15 seconds! This is just one of hundreds of tips you might get if you have hiccups(打嗝). Hiccups are so mysterious. We really dont know why they start and why they stop.
Everyone has a favorite cure(治愈方法)for a case of the hiccups. Some people think that a good scare is necessary to get well. Others eat a teaspoon of sugar. Still others drink a glass of water with a knife in it. An American man named Jack O Leary claimed to have hiccups 160 million times over a period of eight years. He tried 60,000 cures, but none of them worked. Finally he prayed(祈禱)to Saint Jude, the saint of hopeless cases, and his hiccupping stopped immediately.
It took a British singer eight months to cure his hiccups. People from all over the world wrote him letters with suggestions for getting well. He tried them all, but the hiccups continued. Finally, he drank a “secret” mixture someone had sent him. By that evening his hiccups were gone.
Why did these cures work for these two men? No one really knows. But people who have studied many cases of hiccups have an idea. Hiccups usually go away if you believe in the cure.
58. Why were hiccups so mysterious?
A. It is hard to stop. B. It is easy to start.

第二節(jié) 閱讀表達(dá)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)
The staff of the Kennedy School Newsletter asked students at our school to take a survey. In the survey, we asked, “What is your dream job?” We asked a total of 400 students at our school. Here are the results of our survey.
Most of the students at our school wanted to be professional athletes in the future! At our school, 64 people hoped to be sports stars in the future. This included 32 future soccer players, 12 baseball players, 10 basketball players, 7 tennis players, and 3 hockey players.
Lots of students at our school also wanted to be movie stars or singers. 58 students said they wanted to become singers, and 57 said they wanted to act in movies. We hope your dreams come true! Just remember your friends from school when you become superstars.
Other popular future careers(職業(yè))included vets(49), computer programmers(40), writers(30), and artists(29). To our surprise, very few students at our school wanted to be doctors(7), lawyers(13), or businessman(4). And the teachers at our school may be disappointed to know that only 9 students hoped to teach in the future. Sorry teachers!
You can see the rest of the results from our survey in the chart(表格). And for those students who did not get to answer our survey, please stop by our office. We want to hear from you, too! We will add your answers to our survey results and publish the final results in the school yearbook.
