2023年山东省日照市田家炳实验中学中考英语一模试卷
As my father walked into the room, my brother became nervous. He knew that he had done something ____1____ . From a distance I could see that he had opened my father’s new book and drawn all over the first page ____2____ a pencil. Now, staring at my father ____3____ , he and I both waited for his ____4____ .
My father picked up his much-loved book, looked at it ____5____ for quite a while, and then sat down, without saying a word. Books were ____6____ to him. He was a teacher and had several degrees. For him, books were knowledge, and yet he loved his children. What he ____7____ next was remarkable. Instead of punishing my brother, he sat down, took the pen from my brother’s hand, and then ____8____ in the book himself, alongside the drawings made by John: John’s work, 1959, age 2. You have made the book priceless, I’m very thankful to you for drawing in my book.
The years and the books came and went. Our family ____9____ what all families go through and perhaps a little bit more: success and failure, gain and loss, _____10_____ and tears. From time to time we would _____11_____ the book, look at the drawings, read my father’s words of _____12_____, and feel uplifted.
Now I know that through this simple act my father _____13_____ us how every bad event in life can have a positive side—if we are prepared to look at it from another angle—and how precious it is when our lives are touched by the _____14_____ of others. But he also taught us about what really _____15_____ in life: people, not objects: tolerance(容忍), not judgment; love, not anger.
