课时作业（九）

I.阅读理解

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己曾经迫于父母的压力而学习自己

并不感兴趣的吉他课的经历告诉我们，父母应该让孩子做自己擅长和真正喜欢的事情。

1.答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Butwhatcouldaten-year-olddo

whenhisparentssaidtheywouldpunishhimifhedidn'tdowhattheytoldhimto

do?”可知，作者是因为害怕被惩罚才上吉他课的，故A项正确。

2.答案与解析：B词义猜测题。根据第二段首句"However,sincethefirstdayof

thelessons,Idislikedtheguitar.中的disliked一词及画线词后的内容可知，尽管

作者不喜欢吉他课，但他仍坚持去上课。由此可知画线词意为“不喜欢，讨厌”，故B项正

确。

3.答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据第三段中的"Soafteronebadyear,myparents

calledthemusicinstructorandtoldhimIwouldnolongertakeguitarlessons.

可知，作者的父母给指导老师打电话是告诉他作者以后不再上吉他课了，故C项正确。

4.答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"Idothinkparentsshouldlet

theirchildrendowhatthey'regoodatandwhattheytrulylove.”可知，作者认为

父母应该让孩子做自己擅长并喜欢的事情，故C项正确。

菜的价格会上涨。

7.答案与解析：D词义猜测题。上句提到台风或海啸会导致成千上万的人失去生命，

这于2004年在印度尼西亚和泰国的普吉岛发生过。“自然灾害导致人死亡”这件事用来提醒

我们大自然可以造成巨大的损失。

8.答案与解析：B推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，人们认为是人类的活动导致了大

自然的极端愤怒，因此，现在我们真的应该团结合作来减少有害活动。
