語篇解讀：Aaron Segura進入公立高中后，學習成績一直糟糕透頂。后來他轉(zhuǎn)入了職業(yè)高中學習建筑設(shè)計，從此他找到了自信，不再消沉。

1.根據(jù)but，another matter以及后面所說的Aaron的學業(yè)一塌糊涂可知，他在高爾夫球方面應(yīng)很優(yōu)秀，前后形成對比。C選項后面的介詞應(yīng)為about。

根據(jù)后面一句對Aaron功課的描述，可知他的學習是另一回事，即很差勁。

3．根據(jù)前文信息his grades were low，可知他的學業(yè)分數(shù)很低，他幾乎要放棄。be close to“接近，靠近”，注意to在此為介詞。

4．Aaron并非胸無大志，而是在這樣大的、非個性化的公立高中他沒有施展的空間。該空需要考生聯(lián)系全文內(nèi)容，尤其是Aaron轉(zhuǎn)校前后的變化進行判斷。

5．在這所職業(yè)高中，學生可以獲得許多一對一的關(guān)注。

6．根據(jù)后文信息His one strong goal...可知，除了個性化關(guān)注還有別的事情吸引著他。若選A，空格后面缺介詞to。

7．根據(jù)本段后文信息an architectural CAD(computer?aided drafting)program和第三段的a draftsman for an architectural firm可知，此處指Aaron想從事建筑行業(yè)。

8．a(chǎn)ttend the school上學。若選A，空格后面缺介詞for。

9．find后面跟復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)。他發(fā)現(xiàn)自己對學習很感興趣。與前文形成對比。

10．根據(jù)as a draftsman for an architectural firm可知，他得到了一份工作。

11．他的目標是畢業(yè)后專職從事這個行業(yè)。take up“從事”。

12．第一段和第三段形成鮮明的對比，Aaron的人生發(fā)生了巨大的轉(zhuǎn)變。

13．run“提供，開設(shè)(服務(wù)、課程等)”，符合語意。早在20世紀90年代中期，Danny Moon就進行過職業(yè)教育實踐。

14．until“直到……”，符合語境。

15．pass a law通過一部法律。由上文語境可推斷政府現(xiàn)在從立法上開始支持職業(yè)教育。后文又說“地方官員想知道Moon是否有興趣開辦一所職業(yè)學�！保勾鸢父鼮槊魑�。

16．根據(jù)介詞in可知此處考查be interested in“對……感興趣”。A項后面的介詞通常為about，B、D后常接of。

17．地方官員詢問他是否對開辦職業(yè)學校感興趣，而Danny Moon一下子就答應(yīng)了。

18．target“面向，把……作為目標或者對象”。

19．根據(jù)students like Aaron和第一段內(nèi)容可知答案，因為Aaron在公立高中(學習)很吃力。royal“皇家的，莊嚴的，高貴的”；tough“困難的，費力的”；free“空閑的，不忙的”；short“短暫的”。

20．從而他也能滿足整個新墨西哥州急劇上升的對熟練勞動力的需求。此處暗示了職業(yè)教育的重要性。

I would like to suggest that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening all television broadcasting in the United States be forbidden by law. Let us take a      , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a（an）      were accepted.

Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction（分散注意力） of TV, they might     together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our    ----everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of     illness ----are caused at least in part by     to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to     our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better. On evenings when such talk is     , families could discover more active pastimes(娛樂). Freed from TV and forced to find their own activities, they might take a     together to watch the sunset     they might take a walk together.

      free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in       than in a TV program.       report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence,       at the college level.     is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour. A different form of reading might also be done     it was in the past: reading aloud. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the     ends, the TV networks might be forced to     with better shows in order to get us back from our newly- discovered activities.

At first glance, this idea seems radical(激進的).     will we spend the time then? The fact is: it has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can     childhoods without television. It wasn't that difficult.
