During the winter break, I found my dad’s old CD player in a drawer that I had never seen before. It reminded
me of the three CDs I recently bought from Mostly Books, a second-hand media store on South Street. I knew I
could put the player to good use with them.
However, I was a naughty kid who broke closet doors and shelves, so my dad was often unwilling to let me
borrow his things. I couldn’t decide whether to ask my dad about using the player. “Can you help me with your old
CD player? I want to play some CDs,” I finally asked him after walking into his home office that day. Despite my
worries, my dad said yes.
Growing up, I felt that my dad disagreed with nearly everything I did. I was frightened to take his advice
because listening to him felt like going against my own ideas.
That day I looked at his office wall and saw a painting and he told me he bought it in the 1990s for a couple
thousand dollars. Imagining him buying the artwork challenged my idea of him being too frugal (节俭的) and
boring (没有情调的) to spend so much money on art.
This new side of my dad encouraged me to finally take the time to look for our similarities. I discovered how
similar we really are while fixing the CD player with my dad, which helped me see him as someone I could relate
to, instead of someone to avoid. Watching my dad prepare his old CD player for use was my first step toward
understanding him. I observed several of his characters that I recognized in myself, like persistence, patience and
calmness. Seeing these characters in my dad showed me how similar we are, which lowered the defenses (防御) I
built against him, allowing our relationship to heal (愈合).
4. Why couldn’t the author decide whether to ask his dad about using the player at first?
A. He had no CDs to play then.
B. He feared his dad would say no.
C. He figured the CD player was broken.
D. He was afraid he’d break the CD player.
5. What was the problem between the author and his father?
A. They often had different views.
B. They hardly talked to each other.
C. They had no similar personalities.
D. They were shy to speak for themselves.
6. What did the author most probably realize after knowing about the painting?
A. He should challenge his father.
B. His father was very good at art.
C. His father was a really boring man.
D. He might not really know about his father.
7. What happened between the author and his father in the end?
A. They often argued with each other.
B. They greatly misunderstood each other.
C. They got on with each other much better.
D. They built great defenses against each other.
C
Futurologists predict that life will probably be very apparently distinct in 2050 in all the fields of activity, from
entertainment to technology.
First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people will choose a programme
from a ”menu“ and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. Today, we can use the World
Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music,
films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us by computer. We will also be able to see, smell and
touch the things that we see on television.
In transport, cars will run on new, clean ”gas“ and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control
the speed of the car and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly
where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to where you want to go. Space planes will
fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
In technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies
prefer robots-they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see
robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. By 2050, we will be able to help
blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how
they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have.
8. What will happen to television by 2050 according to the passage?
A
.
It will completely disappear.
B. It will be mostly controlled by computers.
