九年级英语单选题中等难度题查看答案及解析

My 11-year-old daughter has been offered an academic scholarship (奖学金) to a private school. It's only a small discount (折扣), but the scholarship means she is accepted by the school which my husband and I need to pay $ 20,000 a year for. Should we pay the private school cost, or choose free education instead?

It was really a hard decision for us to make. For me, I always wanted my children to go to a private school, like I did. Not because my family is rich, but because I believe that the best education is private. It took years for me to make peace with the fact that my two children attended our local public primary school. “They'll go to a private high school.” I told myself.

But the fact is that my eldest is now in her last year of primary school, and my husband and I will find our way to afford the private school. If so, I could increase my work hours. My law degree was supposed to be my ticket to a good job and a good pay, but that was just our wishes, not the fact.

During many sleepless nights, I felt troubled by the decision. Although I want the best for my daughter, I have my own dreams too. I can't give up everything for my baby girl. I explain that I want to be a positive (积极的) role model for my daughter, and an unhappy parent is a terrible strain on a family. I point out that even the best private school won’t protect my children from disappointment or hard work. And finally, it's decided.

Because I understand it's my family that shaped me instead of my great private school education. I can no longer remember the maths problems and what Shakespeare said which I once knew so perfectly. The lessons from my family, however, have turned out to be impossible to forget.

1.The scholarship her daughter has won means that ________.

A.she is good at sports B.the family is full of love

C.she is accepted by that private school D.they don’t have to pay for the school

2.The underlined word strain in Paragraph 3 means ________.

A.愤怒 B.安慰 C.负担 D.解脱

3.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.The writer had a good job with a good pay.

B.It took a long time for her to make the final decision.

C.Her two children attended their local private primary school.

D.The scholarship her daughter won could cover all of her school cost.

4.We can infer from the passage that ________.

A.the daughter will go to a public high school

B.private schools provide better education than public schools

C.the writer wanted her daughter to receive the best education

D.her daughter’s talent was wasted at the public primary school
