He explained that while a curfew
2
sound like a restriction, it's really about people looking out for one another.
The very next Friday after that pretty heated
3
， my dad and I had tickets to see our town's professional football game. On that day he was
4
to a nearby city to meet with some major clients and
5
me that his getting home and our leaving for the game would be tight.
To make sure we could
6

8

15
， “Son, I'm so sorry about the game, but ... there was a terrible accident... on the freeway coming home, and I
16
to help... and ended up going to the hospital.
I
17
my cellphone in the car, so I couldn't call until now. ”
I was so relieved to hear from my father and to
18
that he was safe that I actually cried. That was
19

20
.

答案与解析
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者开始时与父亲对curfew(晚间在家的时间)的观点不一致，后来父亲因帮助遇到车祸的人而耽误了看足球比赛。在等待的过程中作者对curfew有了更深的理解。
1．A 句意为：我告诉他这样使我感觉自己像一个初中的小孩。feel like意为“感觉像”，符合语境。故选A。
2．D 句意为：他解释说，尽管“晚间在家的时间”可能听起来像是一个限制，但它实际上是人们彼此关心留意对方。might意为“可能”，符合语意。故选D。
3．C 从第一段可以看出，父子两人就“晚间在家时间”交换了意见，进行了争论。A项意为“描述”；B项意为“匹配”；C项意为“交换，争论”；D项意为“演讲”。a heated exchange＝a very angry conversation，符合语境。故选C。
4．A 根据倒数第二段中的“I
my cellphone in the car”可知，父亲是开车去的。故选A。
5．C 句意为：……父亲告诉我他回来，然后我们去看比赛，时间会比较紧。A项意为“允许”；B项意为“建议”；C项意为“通知，告诉”；D项意为“命令”。C项符合语意，故选C。
6．A 句意为：为了确保他一进来我们就出发，我把一切都准备就绪了。move off意为“离开，出发”，符合语意。故选A。
7．D 根据第二段中的“...would be tight.”和第三段中的“...he was going to be really late？”可知，应选D项。
8．B 根据第三段中的“We were going to miss the kickoff！”可以推出，由于要错过看开球了，所以作者感到烦躁不安。故选B。
9．B 根据下文中的“...let me know he was going to be really late？”和倒数第二段中的“I
my cell phone in the car, so I couldn't call until now.”可知，此处应该是给“我”打电话。故选B。
10．A 句意为：当我焦急地踱来踱去时，半个小时又过去了。根据当时的情景可知，由于焦急地等着父亲回来，“我”应该是在屋子里踱来踱去。故选A。
11．C 句意为：现在我们将要错过整场比赛。根据语境可知，应选C项。
12．B 根据下文中的“What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a heart attack or had been in an accident, or something？”可知，“我”不知父亲是否发生了意外，此处是指由“生气”转为“害怕”。故选B。
13．C 根据上文“What if something terrible had happened to my dad, like he had a heart attack or had been in an accident, or something？”可知，由于害怕父亲可能会出事故，作者当时的心情应该是很担心。故选C。
14．B 根据语境可知，此处是指“我”给父亲打了大约十个电话，都没人接听。A项意为“借口”；B项意为“应答”；C项意为“时间”；D项意为“方法，路”。故选B。
15．D 根据下文中的“Son, I'm so sorry about the game, but...there was a terrible accident... on the freeway coming home, and I
to help...and...”可知，父亲说话时上气不接下气。故选D。
16．A 根据空格所在句子“there was a terrible accident... on the freeway coming home, and I
to help... and ended up going to the hospital.”可知，父亲在路上遇到了一场车祸，停下来去帮忙。故选A。
17．D 根据下文中的“my cellphone in the car, so I couldn't call until now.”可推知，父亲把手机落在了车里，因此，电话一直无人接听，到现在父亲才有时间回电话。故选D。
18．C 接到父亲的电话后，应该是了解到父亲是安全的。learn意为“得知，了解到”，符合语境。故选C。
19．B when在此引导表语从句，并且在从句中作时间状语。故选B。
20．D 根据最后一段第一句“I was so relieved to hear from my father and to
that he was safe...”可知，此处是指知道你爱的人是安全的。故选D。
