13—17 CCBBB
13. 答案是C。从“Her gentle directions have worked miracles... we are a well-organized team of 27 father-daughter dance pairs.”和“ The relative success of this Big Waltz comes as a huge relief to the mothers…”可知27对父女表演的华尔兹是比较成功的。
14. 答案是C。 “Generally, deb balls belong to the upper class, and that is decidedly not us.”告诉我们deb balls是属于上流社会的，而作者来自并非真正富裕的上流社会，所以他会把参加deb balls说成是个mystery。
15. 答案是B。作者把华尔兹与数学相提并论的原因在于“some people never get it”，有人怎么都学不会的原因即是缺乏天分，所以B项正确。
16. 答案是B。从文章的字里行间我们可以看出作为父亲的作者对deb balls并不是十分感兴趣，认为这是属于上流社会的活动，“Anyway, they won't let the dads eat dinner till we "present" the girls”，调侃的语气中也可以看出他对此活动的倦迨，特别是文章开头父女的对话“"Daddy, you OK?" she asks. "Never better," I lie.”，作者并不十分喜欢这样的活动。但文章结尾写到“She hugged my shoulder and giggled happily, making it all - the waltz lessons, the rental tux, the 14 years of coaching softball - worth every awful-wonderful moment.”，作者从女儿的快乐中感到为女儿成长的过程付出的一切都是值得的。
17. 答案是B。挑选选错误项。作者并没有对女孩们的成就表达出任何赞赏。而且像 “One girl hopes to grow food on Mars.”，也都不属于什么成就，因此选B项。另外，作者对华尔兹的描写浓墨重彩，华尔兹的成功表演让所有女孩的妈妈大舒一口气，以及从舞会前的华尔兹培训都可以看出华尔兹表演是deb balls的重头戏。妈妈们“have been planning this ceremony for six years”可见deb balls对有女孩的家庭来讲的确是件大事。
