题文

I never saw my father home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a “night out with the boys”. He had no bobbies but just took care of his family. For 22 years, since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday at 9:00 am. He was always interested in my life-how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia, England or Florida. Nine years ago when I bought me first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked, was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father. Five years ago, my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set（秋千）for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him, But again, I had laundry to do, and the house to clean. The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1995, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short. The call came at 4:40 am. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida. I got on a plane immediately, and I vowed（发誓）that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him ad really get to know him. I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me. In the years since his death I have learnt much about my father, and even more about every single day. 小题1: We know from the reading that the father_____.

答案

小题1:D 小题2:B 小题3:A 小题4:B 小题5:C

试题分析：这篇短文中作者给我们讲述了她的父亲，她父亲是一个很顾家的人，眼里只有他的家人。作者在短文中讲述了生活中的几件事情，从这些事情中我们可以看到，作者因为太忙，跟父亲没有太多的交流，当作者想要弥补时，父亲却离开了她。 小题1:细节理解题。根据短文第一段中I never saw my father home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a “night out with the boys”. He had no bobbies but just took care of his family.可知，作者的父亲从来没有下班回家晚过，也从来没有生过病，他没有爱好，心里只有他的家人。由此可知选D。 小题2:细节理解题。根据短文第三段中But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.可知，作者买了新房刷漆的时候，她很忙，没有时间帮她的父亲刷房子，也没有时间和父亲聊天。故选B。 小题3:细节理解题。根据短文第五段中The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1995, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before可知，在1995年1月16日，作者的父亲像往常一样给她打电话，这一次他好像忘了他们以前讨论过的一些事。从这里我们可以知道，这一次打电话作者发现父亲跟以前有点不一样。故选A。 小题4:词义猜测题。根据划线短语所在的句子以及上下文的意思可知I vowed（发誓）that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him ad really get to know him.，当作者的父亲被送到医院的时候，作者赶紧坐飞机回家，她发誓这一次要把过去失去的时间补回来，好好的跟父亲聊一聊，更多的去了解父亲。因此这里的get to know 并不是认识父亲的意思，而是过去作者都没有时间和父亲聊天，对父亲她了解的很少。因此选B。 小题5:主旨大意题。这篇短文中作者给我们讲述了她的父亲，她父亲是一个很顾家的人，眼里只有他的家人。作者在短文中讲述了生活中的几件事情，从这些事情中我们可以看到，作者因为太忙，跟父亲没有太多的交流，当作者想要弥补时，父亲却离开了她。因此C选项父亲和我，这个题目最适合文章的意思，故选C。
