Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona.He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children.As a child I loved him.He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was.Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor café.We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions.Gone was my father's critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules.Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day Dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood.Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment.After so many years, I'm at last seeing another side of my father.And in doing so, I'm delighted with my_new_friend.My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

試題分析:

【1】細(xì)節(jié)題。由第二段 “He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was” 可知,在“我”小時(shí)候,除非“我”成績(jī)?nèi)獳父親才會(huì)開(kāi)心,而如果“我”男朋友的父親不像他一樣成功,他也會(huì)不開(kāi)心,說(shuō)明父親對(duì)“我”期盼很高,D項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng),他大多數(shù)時(shí)間很沉默,B項(xiàng),他太自負(fù),C項(xiàng),他不愛(ài)自己的孩子,均未提及。故正確答案為D。

【2】推理判斷題。作者在第二段最后一句中說(shuō)到:“每當(dāng)周末我和他一同出去時(shí),我都要竭力想好要說(shuō)些什么,并時(shí)刻提防不要說(shuō)錯(cuò)!边x項(xiàng)A恰好反映了作者的心理狀態(tài)。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 從文章第三段第一句可以看出。

【4】推理判斷題。從第三段第三、四句“父親挑剔的神態(tài)和嚴(yán)厲的條條框框都不見(jiàn)了。我以前所熟悉的那個(gè)父親到哪兒去了?在你身邊的友善風(fēng)趣的人又是誰(shuí)呢?”不難看出,作者在前往Tucson看望父親時(shí),對(duì)父親的看法有了巨大的轉(zhuǎn)變,由過(guò)去的嚴(yán)厲苛刻變成了和藹可親。

【5】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)最后一段第三句“在這么多年之后,我終于認(rèn)識(shí)到了父親的另外一面;在這一過(guò)程中,我真為結(jié)識(shí)了我的這位新朋友而感到高興!辈浑y判斷出作者提到的這位新朋友就是父親本人。

【題目】How to become a better reader

Language and literacy(讀寫能力) are among humans’ greatest inventions. Evolving(演變) over the course of human history, languages are a reflection of our cultural and societal attitudes. Today, surrounded(包圍) by social media, television, movies, and, of course, books, the ability to read and write is important to expressing one’s feelings. Most humans acquire language in early childhood and speak fluently when they are about three years old, but our continued relationship with language gives shape and meaning to our lives. 1

(1) Take it slow. Many readers feel that they read too slowly, especially compared with others. 2 The best readers are flexible(靈活的) — slowing down when needed — and always have a dictionary at hand.

(2) Read aloud. When humans first began reading written words, it was unusual to read in silence. 3 Try listening to the author reading their own work — you’ll be surprised to find how clearly it comes through on the page.

(3) Write. Writing and reading go hand-in-hand: how and what you read affects how and what you write, and the best readers often make the best writers. But while much can be learned from close, repeated readings, there are many pleasures to language that can only be experienced through the practice of writing. 4

(4) Tell your friends. All of the literature is essentially communication from an individual’s inner voice to an audience. 5 It’s a good way to see the world from someone else’s eyes and, in the process, carefully examine your own reaction to what you’re reading.

A. But the truth is that the faster you read, the less likely you are to understand fully what you’re reading.

B. Can you remember the first piece of writing that transported you to another world?

C. There is something magical about sharing books with friends or a book club.

D. Try writing every day for a month, and you will never read the same again.

E. Reading out loud is one of the best ways to improve your reading ability.

F. Here are 4 ways to become a better reader.

G. In no time, you’ll be appreciating novels like fine wine.

【題目】閱讀理解。

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck,talent,and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.

However,to succeed in life,one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.And,in addition to that,in order to get really good at something,one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing.To become great at certain things,it’ll require even more time,time that most people won’t put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do ,it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success,you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent,but thinking that way does you no good,and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.

Whatever you do,if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,almost to the point of addiction,and over a long period of time.If you’re not willing to put in the time and work,don’t expect to receive any rewards.Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

【1】Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.

A.the reasons for success

B.the meaning of success

C.the standards of success

D.the importance of success

【2】In Paragraph 2,the underlined word that refers to ______.

A.being good at something

B.setting a practical goal

C.putting in more time

D.succeeding in life

【3】Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.

A.work makes one feel pain

B.one tends to enjoy his work

C.one gives up his work easily

D.it takes a lot of time to succeed

【4】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A.Successful people like to show their great skills.

B.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.

C.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.

D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.

【5】What is the main theme of the passage?

A.Having a goal is vital to success.

B. Being good is different from being great.

C.One cannot succeed without time and practice.

D.Luck,talent and family help to achieve success.

【題目】閱讀理解。

I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy (人生哲學(xué)): Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, don’t have it on their schedule, don’t know it is coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.

I can’t count the times I called my sister and said, “How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer (結(jié)結(jié)巴巴地說(shuō)), “I can’t. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known it yesterday, I had a late breakfast, and it looks like rain.” And my personal favorite response: It’s just Monday.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I’ve tried to be a little more flexible.

Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I’m going to” , “I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”

When anyone calls my “seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and you’re ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.

My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happily.

Now ... go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to not something on your SHOULD DO list.

【1】The example of the writer’s sister serves as ________.

A. an argument B. an introduction

C. a support D. a conclusion

【2】The writer thinks that the excuse “It’s just Monday.” is acceptable, because _______.

A. it is still likely that they can have lunch together some time later

B. it sounds most reasonable of all the excuses

C. it shows respect for the writer’s suggestion

D. it indicates the time when they can have lunch together

【3】The underlined word “contagious” in the fourth paragraph means “________” .

A. appropriate B. influential

C. practical D. evident

【4】What is the purpose of the writer by writing this passage?

A. To suggest how time flies in our life.

B. To persuade busy people to relax after work.

C. To advise people to keep their promise to ourselves.

D. To persuade readers to be flexible on their schedule for practical joy.
