He owns some shops and makes a lot of money. His son, Mike, studies at a middle school. The boy likes everything but studying. He doesn’t listen to his teachers in class and he never finishes his homework on time. He always plays football when he has any free time. He can never pass the exams. Mr. King is so busy with his business that he has little time to stay at home. He never pays any attention(关心) to his son’s studies, so he doesn’t know how he is doing. One day Miss Read, Mike’s teacher, telephones Mr. King. On the telephone she tells him all about the boy’s studies. She wants him to try to help his son at home. When the man hears this, he doesn’t feel very happy. In the afternoon when his son comes back from school, Mr. King gives him a good telling­off(责备), but soon feels sorry for it when he sees Mike crying in the bedroom. The next morning, before Mike goes to school, he says to him, “Study hard and I’ll buy you a car when you pass the exam next year.” Another term is over. Mike doesn’t pass the exam once more. Mr. King has a look at the school report for a few minutes and then he asks his son, “You don’t pass the exam again, Mike. What did you do this term” “I learned how to drive a car, dad,” answers the boy. 1. Mr. King is ______. A. a football player B. a teacher C. a driver D. a businessman(商人) 2.

Mike’s father buys him a car. C. Mike doesn’t do well in his lessons for another term. D. Mike thinks his father will buy him a car. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 4. B 5. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了金先生是一名商人，没有时间关心儿子的学习，因此儿子的成绩一直不好。老师和他沟通后，他批评了儿子，并承诺如果下次考试及格，会给他买辆车，但是结果还是未通过考试。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He owns some shops and makes a lot of money”可知，他拥有一些商店，说明金先生是个商人。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The boy likes everything but studying”可知，因为他不喜欢学习。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“One day Miss Read, Mike’s teacher, telephones Mr. King. On the telephone she tells him all about the boy’s studies“可知，老师给金先生打电话是告诉他关于迈克学习的事情。故选C。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Mr. King gives him a good telling­off(责备), but soon feels sorry for it when he sees Mike crying in the bedroom”可知，下午，当他的儿子放学回来时，金先生责备了他，但是当他看到迈克在卧室里哭泣时，他很快就感到抱歉。说明句子中的it是指责备儿子这件事。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Study hard and I’ll buy you a car when you pass the exam next year”及“Mike doesn’t pass the exam once more”可知，金先生答应儿子如果通过考试会给他买一辆车，而儿子并未通过考试，由此可推断金先生并未给儿子买车，B表述错误，故选B。 The Kennedy Elementary School band(乐队) is special.That's because Tony Boland，a member of it，is a 79-year-old flute(长笛) player.His story tells us that you're never too old to toot the flute.
