Josh Bangert was playing basketball this summer when he noticed the vision in his left eye was blurry(模糊). The 15-years-old ignored it, believing he just needed glasses. But when he went to the doctor a few weeks later, he was told he had a disease that no surgery(手术)could treat. He would likely lose his sight by the end of the year. Josh was frustrated.

The next morning, Josh began to accept his fate. What came next was an incredible show of support for the student. One of his mother's friends suggested Josh make a bucket list of things he wanted to see and turn to a GoFundMe for the expenses of the trips. Within 24 hours, his father got a message on his phone: They had hit their $20,000(139,000 yuan)goal. More than 450 people have given almost 36,000. The community response is just amazing. With help from the donations, the Bangert family took Josh to the Bulls' first preseason game. A highlight of the night was when Bulls cookie(新手)Chandler Hutchison shot a 3-pointer. Other things on his list: mountains, the ocean, the desert, Niagara Falls, snorkeling, white-water rafting.

The disease is known to progress fairly rapidly, often starting in one eye and moving to the other, according to Dr. Timothy J. In spite of it, the family is flying to San Francisco so Josh can cross the mountains and see the ocean. "Whatever money is left after Josh goes through his list will be spent on medical research," his mother said, "and this is bigger than just our son Josh, bigger than his bucket list. I don't know what it's going to lead to, but Josh said from the start that if he loses his sight, it's for a good reason. We're seeing that. We're confirming that."

1. Why was Josh's left eye blurry?
A.He always ignored the eye protection.
B.He developed an incurable disease in the eye.
C.An accident in a surgery accounted for it.
D.He had the eye injured when playing basketball.
2. What is "GoFundMe" in paragraph 2?
A.A donation platform.B.A health care center.
C.A nursing home.D.A volunteer organization.
3. In face of the eye disease, Josh did all of the following EXCEPT________.
A.make a list of thing that he wanted to see
B.try to get help for the expenses of his trips
C.go to watch Bulls' first preseason game with his family
D.borrow money from his neighbors to treat the disease
4. What can we learn from what Josh' mother said?
A.Josh can't accept his disease after all.
B.The family will give up the treatment on Josh.
C.They will give the remaining money to medical research.
D.They plan to go on another trip after finishing the bucket list.

文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者的母亲谈话时总是会将话题转到作者未来的职业上,她希望作者以后能当医生,因为作者计划主修英语和传播学而为作者焦虑,作者理解母亲的想法,但是想追随自己的梦想,做自己想做的事

【推荐1】It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War 3. She’ll talk about my lack of bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major (主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of a fame or salary.

I understand why my mother is anxious about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.

1. Which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about?
A.the writer’s future job
B.wars around the world
C.dinner plans
D.the writer’s studies
2. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the writer’s mother________.
A.doesn’t think the writer should be a doctor
B.doesn’t want the writer to major in English
C.gets along very well with the writer
D.doesn’t think working in the scientific field is a good idea
3. The underlined word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”.
A.disagreesB.cries
C.smilesD.complains
4. Which of the following statements is probably TRUE about the writer?
A.He wants to be like his mother’s co-worker’s son.
B.He wants to find a job in his community in the future.
C.He wants to do something he really likes in the future.
D.He doesn’t think his mother’s co-worker’s son is perfect.
