IV.阅读理解(30分)
A
One evening after dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Tisich called a family meeting. ―We’ve
had to make a difficult decision,‖ Mr. Tisich announced. ―You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television station in Chicago. Unfortunately, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.‖
Marc looked shocked, while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving. ―It’s surprising, but exciting!‖ she said. Marc simply said, ―We can’t go—I can’t leave all my friends. I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!‖
The Tisichs hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more accustomed to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings.
When the morning of the move arrived, Marc was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy Lyons’ house, but Mrs. Lyons said she hadn’t seen Marc. Mrs. Tisich became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.
What they didn’t know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Lyons’ attic(阁楼) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Marc walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Marc didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons(纸板箱)the right size to hold his record collection.
56. The conflict in this story was caused by___________. A. Marc and Rachel’s different tempers B. a quarrel between Tommy Lyons and Marc
C. Marc’s disagreement with his parents about their move D. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich’s remark of Marc’s irresponsibility
57. Marc and Rachel’s reactions to the move were similar in the way that both were____________
A. surprised B. angry and upset C. anxious for more details D. worried about packing 58. The reason for Marc’s going home was that _________________. A. he did not want to be left behind B. he realized his family was essential to him C. he hoped to reach an agreement with his parents D. he wished to be a more responsible person 59. What would most likely happen next?
A. Marc would bring his records over to the Lyons’s house. B. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would call the police. C. Marc would join his family for house moving. D. Mr. and Mrs. Tisich would start searching for Marc.
