“Now,”Mrs Virginia DeView said, smiling,“we are going to discover our professions.”The class seemed to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be 1 .“Yes, you will all be searching for your future 2 . Each of you will have to 3 . Someone in your field, plus give an oral report.”
Each day in her class, Virginia De View reminded us about this. Finally, I picked print journalism. This 4 I had to go to interview a true-blue newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him 5 able to speak. He looked at me and said,“Did you bring a pencil or pen?”
I shook my head.
“How about some 6 ?”
I shook my head again.
Finally, I thought he realized I was 7 , and I got my first big tip as a 8 .“Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper. You never know what you'll run into.”After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from 9 in class. I got an A on the entire project.
Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I 10 Virginina DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn't 11 me. They just reminded me how competitive the field was and 12 all my life I had run away from competition. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my blood. 13 gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was 14 .
For the past 12 years, I've had the most satisfying reporting career, 15 stories from murders to airplanes crashes and 16 choosing my strongest area. 17 I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories hit me and I realized that had it not been 18 Virginia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.
I get 19 all the time:“How did you pick journalism?”
“Well, you see, there was this teacher…”I always start out. I just wish I could 20 her.

试题答案
答案：B;C;A;D;A;D;C;B;D;C;C;A;A;D;C;B;B;A;D;C
解析：1．B 前文谈到Virginia De View让这些十三四岁的学生思考他们未来的职业，学生理解不了，猜想他们的老师一定是“疯了”。 2．C 前文的we are going to discover our professions以及our professions这两处都暗示了此答案，而且全文都在谈职业的事情。 3．A 后文中谈到作者第一次去采访从事该职业领域的有关人士，由此我们可知他的老师的要求是学生作调查，然后采访，最后作口头报告。 4．D 作者选择了新闻业，根据老师的要求，这就“意味着”要去采访报业记者。 5．A 上文谈到作者内心感到紧张，以及下文总是摇头，这里填hardly表示“几乎不能讲话”。 6．D 下文中谈到那位被采访者对作者谈到“Never, never go anywhere without a pen and paper.”可见，这儿应填paper，上下文才能照应。 7．C 上文有交代，作者采访这个真正的新闻记者时，就已经紧张得连话都说不出来了，在采访的过程中，当然就觉得terrified。 8．B 该句为全文点题之处。作者之所以后来成为一名出色的记者，与这次见面有很大的关系。因为这是作者第一次作为一名记者采访别人而获得做一名记者的第一个诀窍。 9．D from memory为固定短语，意为“凭记忆”，指作者亲身经历了这些事情，所以做口头报告时，胸有成竹，不用看讲稿。其他选项不合题意。 10．C 作者在几年后，找工作陷入困境，突然“记起”他儿时的那位老师和他曾经做过的职业----记者。 11．C 从后文的句子“They just reminded me…”来看，作者的父母并没有阻拦他当记者。 12．A 作者的父母提醒作者说记者行业竞争激烈，而且作者又是“多么地”害怕并回避竞争。 13．A it指journalism，与前一句相照应。 14．D 既然是采访，当然是问对方所发生的情况了(what was going on)。 15．C 当了12年的记者“报道了”从谋杀案到飞机失事等各种新闻。cover意为“报道”；cover story意为“值得报道的人物或事实”。 16.B 作者找到自己的正确位置和职业后，“最后”安顿在他最擅长的领域记者行业。 17．B 作者找到自己的正确位置和职业后，“最后”安顿在他最擅长的领域即记者行业。 17．A 注意这句后面有one day，所以填when，表示“当……时候”，整句意为：当我有一天拿起电话时，潮水般的记忆向我涌来。 18．A 本句完整结构为if it had not been for…意为“要不是因为……”，省掉if后，had要放在it之前，构成倒装句，这句在全文中起重要作用：作者终于意识到如果没有Virginia DeView当初不可理解地要他的十三四岁的学生去搞职业调查，他就没有今天。 19．D get asked表示“被人问起”，符合上下文，全句意思为“当有人问起我为什么要当记者时，我总是……”。 20．C 当别人问起我做记者的原因时，我总是回答说“因为一位老师……”，借此我希望能向她表示“谢意”。 |
