2．解析：这里是指 “我” 被走廊里人们的各种声音吵醒，因此用sounds，指 “任何

用耳朵能听到的声音”。voice指 “嗓音，尤指说话声、唱歌声”，不能概括走廊里

所有的声音；noise指 “噪音”；accent指 “口音”。

答案：A

承诺，也因此有了不少感悟。

leave sth.+adj.使某物处于……状态

keep sb.from sth.保护某人免受……

in time to do sth.来得及干某事

more than不只是……

5．解析：细节理解题。根据文章第六段In 1900，the most common jobs were farm laborer

and domestic servant-education not needed.可以判断，domestic servant是不需要有文

化的。

答案：D

4．解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段But in many modern families判断，这里与前句是对

比关系，再根据下文the children may fail to recognize the importance of school life...可

以判断这里讲述的是让小孩儿认识到学校生活的重要性，由此可以推知offspring与

children同义。

答案：C

3．解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句Otherwise，it is likely that the dropout rate will

continue to not drop，but only worsen.可以判断，professionals有可能帮助抑制失学率

的上升。

答案：C

2．解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段，作者认为学校并没有正式的计划来激发学生的

学习兴趣，并让学生认为学习是必要的；它们只是期望学生能认识到学习的重要性，

而不去教给他们如何相信学习是必要的，可知A正确。

答案：A

1．解析：推理判断题。the dropout rate isn’t dropping的含义是 “失学率没有下降”，

再根据第一句 “不到一半的九年级学生能够毕业” 可知，仍有多数学生不能毕业。

答案：C

[解题导语] 最近的研究表明，超过一半的九年级的学生中途辍学。导致这种局面的原

因是多方面的，是学校的责任还是家庭的影响？我们又将如何激发学生的学习兴趣呢？

[长难句解读] 1.But in many modern families，the children may fail to recognize the

importance of school life just because these families may actually tell the children that school

is not important.

句中含有一个because引导的原因状语从句，从句中又含有一个that引导的宾语从句。

2．The students should discover that most jobs that lack education and diploma requirements

will be ripe for automation.

句中第一个that引导从句作discover的宾语，第二个that引导定语从句修饰jobs。
