I knew I would not see an actual person named Ellie’s at Ellie’s Eatery because, like most new restaurants these days, Ellie’s is a robo-restaurant.
When I walked in, a cute little manager robot appeared, looking rather like a toaster with lively blue eyes. It showed me to a nice table in the back. The menu monitor popped out of my table and showed me pictures of my dining options. I tapped my choices and clicked OK, and the screen slid back down.
I watched as full plates rode the conveyer belts that moved along each aisle (过道) of tables. In just a few minutes, my appetizer stopped at my table, and I took it from the belt. Later, I placed my empty plate back on the conveyer belt, and it was taken away into the kitchen to be cleaned.
I watched the little toaster showing customers to tables while I ate my main course. The food was tasty, but I was starting to feel annoyed because dealing with robots always makes me feel inhuman. Pretty soon, I wanted to talk to someone real, even if it was just a few sentences.
So when my dessert arrived, I took action. I dropped my plate on the floor with a satisfying crash. I was so happy when I saw the manager toaster’s shining red eyes — at last, a real live person would arrive!
But instead, a crew of two robots quickly appeared. A robot broom rushed over and started to sweep the piece of the broken plate into a robot garbage can. They finished and moved back into the kitchen. My plan to get a little reality into Ellie’s Eatery failed sadly. I hope the restaurant trend ends soon. I want to deal with people again!
4. What happened right after the author finished the first dish?
A. Two robots cleaned up the dish.
B. The manager robot’s eyes blinked red.
C. The robot manager showed the main course.
D. The empty plate was sent back to the kitchen by the belt.
5. Why did the author break a plate?
A To try to get human service.
B. To attract attention from the robots.
C. To show that the food did not taste good.
D. To put an end to the robo-restaurant trend.
6. How did the author feel at the end of the story?
A. Hopeful. B. Guilty. C. Shocked. D. Disappointed.
7. Where is the text most likely from?
A. Science fiction. B. Children’s literature.
C. A restaurant review. D. A science report.
C
Imagine if it were easy for everyone to get to the seashore, to smell the sea winds and to feel seawater on their skin. Wouldn’t it be great if people with walking difficulty could also get closer to the ocean to enjoy the thrill of a sunset, watching the sun’s rays light up the waves? The good news is that things are moving in the right direction!
In a CDC study, around 14% of adults in the US report a mobility disability, defined as serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs. This can make vacation planning a challenge and put some destinations off-limits. But technology companies like Mobi-mat are making a day at the beach for people with limited mobility a reality.
Mobi-mat has developed some exciting innovations like non-slip roll-out accessibility mats(垫子). These function like red carpets at movie premieres(首映), taking people with special needs right to the seashore. They are made of a fine nylon material that is designed for people who use wheelchairs or may otherwise need a firmer surface to cross the sand.
More cities are working to make enjoyment of the beach much more wide-ranging in other creative ways based on regional conditions. The town of Jupiter in Florida has opened up access to its beaches to people who have trouble going up and down stairs via three new wide wooden walkovers. The Miami Herald recently reported on the upcoming construction of a wheelchair-accessible beachfront observation platform, and upgraded park with adaptive playground and exercise equipment for people with disabilities in Miami Beach.
Inspired by creative innovation, forward-looking policymakers and companies, and the shared demands of disabled people who are calling for better access to beautiful beach locations, it seems that many more people of all abilities will be able to head to the beach.
8. What is the good news mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. The seashore becomes the hottest destination.
B. The ocean environment changes for the better.
C. Beaches are more accessible to the disabled.
D. Approaching the sea benefits disabled people.
9. What can we learn about the mat from Mobi-mat?
A. It offers a firm surface. B. It originates from movies.
C. It replaces wheelchairs. D. It functions beneath the sand.
10. What can be inferred about the measures in Jupiter and Miami?
A. They’re well behind schedule.
B. They center on ocean protection.
C. They need to be more creative.
D They’re tailored to local conditions.
11. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a friendly move.
B. To recommend a treatment.
C. To advertise beautiful beaches.
D To report findings of a study.
D
Sea life near Turkey is being threatened by a layer of brown foam on the ocean s surface.
The actual name for the foam is mucilage (黏液). Scientists first noticed and described mucilage in 2007, when it was found near Turkey. Then, it was also found in other parts of the Aegean Sea, near Greece.
This year’s outbreak of mucilage is the worst ever recorded. It’s been developing for seven months and is now covering large parts of the Sea of Marmara. The Sea of Marmara is an “inland sea”, surrounded by land belonging to Turkey, and connected to the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea.
There are many different kinds of algae (海藻), and it’s natural and normal for algae to grow in the ocean or in other bodies of water. But when there is lots of food for the algae, and other conditions are just right, there can be “an algae bloom” which results in algae growing quickly and in huge numbers And in very bad situations, mucilage is the result.
There are two main causes for the present outbreak of mucilage. One is the heavy pollution sewage, fertilizers, and other chemicals- flowing into the Sea of Marmara. The second cause is higher water temperatures because of climate change.
The mucilage causes problems in lots of different ways. For one thing, by covering the ocean’s surface, it stops sunlight from reaching all the sea life below. “This mucilage is now covering the sea surface like a tent canvas,” says Muharrem Balci, who teaches biology at Istanbul University. Because there is so much algae, it takes up lots of oxygen from the seawater. That means that there’s very little oxygen left for the other sea creatures that depend on it. The BBC reports that divers in the area are seeing large numbers of dying fish. After a while, the mucilage falls to the bottom of the ocean, where it covers the sea floor threatening to poison creatures that live there, like crabs and mussels. This year, the mucilage has been found as deep as 30 meters below the surface.
12. What do we know about mucilage?
A. It generally doesn’t last long.
B. It had never existed before 2007.
C. It is mainly formed in inland seas.
D. It was first noticed near Turkey.
13. What does the underlined part “an algae bloom” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A good harvest of algae. B. The increasing use of algae.
C. The explosive growth of algae. D. A continuing popularity of algae.
14. What can be inferred about mucilage from the last paragraph?
A. It can greatly threaten sea life.
B. It has drawn attention worldwide.
C. It will lead to food shortages for humans.
D. It benefits some sea creatures but harms others.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. New kinds of algae are found in Turkey
B. Turkey’s coastal waters are covered with mucilage
C. Marmara has seen an increase in water temperatures
D. Endangered sea creatures in Marmara have been protected

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
What my father wore embarrassed me! I wanted him to dress like a doctor or lawyer, but he always dressed like my father, getting up before dawn every day to make breakfast for my mother and me.
We lived in South Texas, where my father worked as a repairman. He often wore a pair of jeans and a shirt, keeping his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket. His boots were those with steel toes that made them difficult to pull off his feet, which I sometimes helped him with when he returned from repairing cars — his job that also shamed me.
I blamed the way he dressed. I felt that my classmates laughed at me because they’d seen him mowing lawns (修剪草坪) in cut-off jeans and black boots. My classmates’ families paid men to beautify their lawns, while their fathers travelled in the bay wearing lemon-yellow sweaters and expensive shoes.
He preferred clothes that allowed him the freedom to move under cars. So even when taking part in a school trip with me, he was dressed in his repairman’s suit. On the school bus to the campsite, all students on the bus happily chatted with their parents except me, who lowered the head, avoiding spotting my classmates’ mocking glance (讥笑的眼光) or hearing their jokes, which I thought was about nothing else but what my father wore.
I regretted telling my parents the school trip, and I was very angry why my mother had no spare time while my father happened to have a vacation. But my father failed to read my mind. He was very happy, whistling a tune along the way.
Though my father didn’t sense my bad mood the school bus seemed as sad as I was. It drove more and more slowly and finally it stopped on the roadside. The driver got out to check the bus but found nothing wrong. Students and parents on the bus began to whisper about what was happening, worried that the delay might spoil the journey.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
When others were complaining, my father stood up.

The school bus restarted and everyone cheered.

I knew I would not see an actual person named Ellie’s at Ellie’s Eatery because, like most new restaurants these days, Ellie’s is a robo-restaurant.
When I walked in, a cute little manager robot appeared, looking rather like a toaster with lively blue eyes. It showed me to a nice table in the back. The menu monitor popped out of my table and showed me pictures of my dining options. I tapped my choices and clicked OK, and the screen slid back down.
I watched as full plates rode the conveyer belts that moved along each aisle (过道) of tables. In just a few minutes, my appetizer stopped at my table, and I took it from the belt. Later, I placed my empty plate back on the conveyer belt, and it was taken away into the kitchen to be cleaned.
I watched the little toaster showing customers to tables while I ate my main course. The food was tasty, but I was starting to feel annoyed because dealing with robots always makes me feel inhuman. Pretty soon, I wanted to talk to someone real, even if it was just a few sentences.
So when my dessert arrived, I took action. I dropped my plate on the floor with a satisfying crash. I was so happy when I saw the manager toaster’s shining red eyes — at last, a real live person would arrive!
But instead, a crew of two robots quickly appeared. A robot broom rushed over and started to sweep the piece of the broken plate into a robot garbage can. They finished and moved back into the kitchen. My plan to get a little reality into Ellie’s Eatery failed sadly. I hope the restaurant trend ends soon. I want to deal with people again!
4. What happened right after the author finished the first dish?
A. Two robots cleaned up the dish.
B. The manager robot’s eyes blinked red.
C. The robot manager showed the main course.
D. The empty plate was sent back to the kitchen by the belt.
5. Why did the author break a plate?
A. To try to get human service.
B. To attract attention from the robots.
C. To show that the food did not taste good.
D. To put an end to the robo-restaurant trend.
6. How did the author feel at the end of the story?
A. Hopeful. B. Guilty. C. Shocked. D. Disappointed.
7. Where is the text most likely from?
A. Science fiction. B. Children’s literature.

Imagine if it were easy for everyone to get to the seashore, to smell the sea winds and to feel seawater on their skin. Wouldn’t it be great if people with walking difficulty could also get closer to the ocean to enjoy the thrill of a sunset, watching the sun’s rays light up the waves? The good news is that things are moving in the right direction!
In a CDC study, around 14% of adults in the US report a mobility disability, defined as serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs. This can make vacation planning a challenge and put some destinations off-limits. But technology companies like Mobi-mat are making a day at the beach for people with limited mobility a reality.
Mobi-mat has developed some exciting innovations like non-slip roll-out accessibility mats(垫子). These function like red carpets at movie premieres(首映), taking people with special needs right to the seashore. They are made of a fine nylon material that is designed for people who use wheelchairs or may otherwise need a firmer surface to cross the sand.
More cities are working to make enjoyment of the beach much more wide-ranging in other creative ways based on regional conditions. The town of Jupiter in Florida has opened up access to its beaches to people who have trouble going up and down stairs via three new wide wooden walkovers. The Miami Herald recently reported on the upcoming construction of a wheelchair-accessible beachfront observation platform, and upgraded park with adaptive playground and exercise equipment for people with disabilities in Miami Beach.
Inspired by creative innovation, forward-looking policymakers and companies, and the shared demands of disabled people who are calling for better access to beautiful beach locations, it seems that many more people of all abilities will be able to head to the beach.
8. What is the good news mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. The seashore becomes the hottest destination.
B. The ocean environment changes for the better.
C. Beaches are more accessible to the disabled.
D. Approaching the sea benefits disabled people.
9. What can we learn about the mat from Mobi-mat?
A. It offers a firm surface. B. It originates from movies.
C. It replaces wheelchairs. D. It functions beneath the sand.
10. What can be inferred about the measures in Jupiter and Miami?
A. They’re well behind schedule.
B. They center on ocean protection.
C. They need to be more creative.
D. They’re tailored to local conditions.
11. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a friendly move.
B. To recommend a treatment.
C. To advertise beautiful beaches.
D. To report findings of a study.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. A

Sea life near Turkey is being threatened by a layer of brown foam on the ocean s surface.
The actual name for the foam is mucilage (黏液). Scientists first noticed and described mucilage in 2007, when it was found near Turkey. Then, it was also found in other parts of the Aegean Sea, near Greece.
This year’s outbreak of mucilage is the worst ever recorded. It’s been developing for seven months and is now covering large parts of the Sea of Marmara. The Sea of Marmara is an “inland sea”, surrounded by land belonging to Turkey, and connected to the Aegean Sea and the Black Sea.
There are many different kinds of algae (海藻), and it’s natural and normal for algae to grow in the ocean or in other bodies of water. But when there is lots of food for the algae, and other conditions are just right, there can be “an algae bloom” which results in algae growing quickly and in huge numbers And in very bad situations, mucilage is the result.
There are two main causes for the present outbreak of mucilage. One is the heavy pollution sewage, fertilizers, and other chemicals- flowing into the Sea of Marmara. The second cause is higher water temperatures because of climate change.
The mucilage causes problems in lots of different ways. For one thing, by covering the ocean’s surface, it stops sunlight from reaching all the sea life below. “This mucilage is now covering the sea surface like a tent canvas,” says Muharrem Balci, who teaches biology at Istanbul University. Because there is so much algae, it takes up lots of oxygen from the seawater. That means that there’s very little oxygen left for the other sea creatures that depend on it. The BBC reports that divers in the area are seeing large numbers of dying fish. After a while, the mucilage falls to the bottom of the ocean, where it covers the sea floor threatening to poison creatures that live there, like crabs and mussels. This year, the mucilage has been found as deep as 30 meters below the surface.
12. What do we know about mucilage?
A. It generally doesn’t last long.
B. It had never existed before 2007.
C. It is mainly formed in inland seas.
D. It was first noticed near Turkey.
13. What does the underlined part “an algae bloom” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A good harvest of algae. B. The increasing use of algae.
C. The explosive growth of algae. D. A continuing popularity of algae.
14. What can be inferred about mucilage from the last paragraph?
A. It can greatly threaten sea life.
B. It has drawn attention worldwide.
C. It will lead to food shortages for humans.
D. It benefits some sea creatures but harms others.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A New kinds of algae are found in Turkey
B. Turkey’s coastal waters are covered with mucilage
C. Marmara has seen an increase in water temperatures
D. Endangered sea creatures in Marmara have been protected
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。由于污染和全球气候变暖的缘故,马尔马拉海的海藻大量繁殖,形成了很多的海洋黏液。文章主要介绍了粘液产生和爆发的原因,以及带来的严重危害等。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Scientists first noticed and described mucilage in 2007, when it was found near Turkey(科学家们第一次注意到并描述粘液是在2007年,当时它在土耳其附近被发现。)”可知,这种黏液最初是在土耳其附近被发现的(It was first noticed near Turkey.)。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段画线词后的“which results in algae growing quickly and in huge numbers(导致藻类大量快速生长)”可知,当海藻的养分充足,其它条件也正合适时,海藻会大量繁殖,过度生长(The explosive growth of algae.)。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一二句“The mucilage causes problems in lots of different ways.For one thing, by covering the ocean’s surface, it stops sunlight from reaching all the sea life below.(黏液在很多方面都造成了问题。首先,它覆盖了海洋表面,阻止阳光照射到下面所有的海洋生物。)”以及 第二句“That means that there’s very little oxygen left for the other sea creatures that depend on it.(这意味着其他依赖氧气生存的海洋生物所剩的氧气非常少。)”可知,这种海洋黏液对海洋生物的危害极大(It can greatly threaten sea life.)。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一句“Sea life near Turkey is being threatened by a layer of brown foam on the ocean s surface.(土耳其附近的海洋生物正受到海面上一层棕色泡沫的威胁。)”结合全文,可知本文主要报道了土耳其海域海藻大量繁殖,形成了很多海洋黏液,给海洋生物造成了威胁,所以B项Turkey’s coastal waters are covered with mucilage(土耳其的沿海水域覆盖着粘液)作为标题最合适。故选B项。

Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe, _____17_____. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.
The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings: in pure science—a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning: in applied science—a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.
_____18_____ The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankind. The application of and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. _____19_____ Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the rain of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.

【分析】本文是说明文,文章介绍了在21 世纪,科学有了很大的进步。科学研究极大地开阔了我们的视野,给人类带来了更大的好处。但另一方面科学的创造力也被用来损害人类。
16题详解】
此题线索是词汇复现。该段首句提到“The twentieth century saw greater changes…”,该段的主题是关于本世纪的种种变化;选项F意思为:许多事情导致了变化,但在我看来,最重要的是科学的进步。选项F是顺承上文的话题,其中the changes与上文中多次出现的changes是词汇复现。故选F项。
【17题详解】
此题线索是代词指代和并列句式。选项G意思为:它使我们对生命本质及其不断发展有了更好的理解。选项G中“It has brought us a better understanding of …”与上一句中的“It has given us a deeper knowledge of…”是句式并列,其中it都是指代该段首句中的Scientific research in physics and biology。故选G项。
【18题详解】
此题线索是逻辑。文章第二段首句提到“科学研究使我们扩大视野”,第三段首句提到“科学研究活动将给人类带来更大的好处”;第四段空后一句提到“科学的创新被用来损害人类”,该段话题与文章上两段的话题出现转折;选项B意思为:然而,不幸的是,事情还有另一面。选项B中however表示话题出现转折,是承上启下。 故选B项。
【19题详解】
该段话题是科学创新被利用来损害人类。选项A意思为:我们已经在核武器的问题上看到了这种情况。空前一句提到“发展和生产大规模毁灭性武器对人类的继续生存造成了危险”,选项A是顺承上一句的话题,以核武器为例进一步说明上一句的内容。故选A项。
【20题详解】
此题线索是词汇重现。选项E意思为:以上对人类活动——科学应用的仅仅一部分的简要回顾似乎证明了莎士比亚所说的。选项E中“what Shakespeare said”即是上一句中“William Shakespeare said”的复现。故选E项。
【点睛】七选五做题技巧
1. 重点阅读上下句
因为正确选项必定会与上下句之间语义衔接、逻辑通顺,解题时大多只看上句,或只看下句,就可基本确定答案。
如第4小题, 空前一句提到“发展和生产大规模毁灭性武器对人类的继续生存造成了危险”,选项A是顺承上一句的话题,以核武器为例进一步说明上一句的内容。重点阅读上下文是确定选项的一个重要方法。
2. 词语复现显神功
上下文与主题相关的词语通常会以原词、同义词、近义词、同根词或同范畴词等形式在上下文中重复出现。
如第1小题此题线索是词汇复现。选项F中the changes与上文中多次出现的changes是词汇复现,从而推断出选项。
值得注意的是,有的题利用词语复现解题十分管用,但这并不意味着凡与上句或下句有复现词的选项就一定是正确选项,只是正确的可能性更大,在解题过程中需重点考虑或优选考虑而已。是否为正确答案,还得将含复现词的选项代入原文,看该选项与上下文是否真的衔接,只有上下衔接紧密的才是正确选项。
3. 代词亦管用
七选五就是考查上下文之间的衔接,而代词是语篇衔接的重要手段之一,故解题中要善于利用这一衔接手段。
如第2小题,选项G中“It has brought us a better understanding of …”与上一句中的“It has given us a deeper knowledge of…”是句式并列,其中it都是指代该段首句中的Scientific research in physics and biology,可以帮助确定选项。
4.逻辑很重要
阅读时,注意句与句之间、段与段之间的总分、转折、因果、并列、递进、解释等逻辑关系,是确定选项的重要方法。
如第3小题,文章第二段首句提到“科学研究使我们扩大视野”,第三段提到首句提到“科学研究活动将给人类带来更大的好处”;第四段空后一句提到“科学的创新被用来损害人类”。阅读文章第二、三、四段后,会发现段与段之间话题出现转折,从而可以确定选项。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
What my father wore embarrassed me! I wanted him to dress like a doctor or lawyer, but he always dressed like my father, getting up before dawn every day to make breakfast for my mother and me.
We lived in South Texas, where my father worked as a repairman. He often wore a pair of jeans and a shirt, keeping his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket. His boots were those with steel toes that made them difficult to pull off his feet, which I sometimes helped him with when he returned from repairing cars — his job that also shamed me.
I blamed the way he dressed. I felt that my classmates laughed at me because they’d seen him mowing lawns (修剪草坪) in cut-off jeans and black boots. My classmates’ families paid men to beautify their lawns, while their fathers travelled in the bay wearing lemon-yellow sweaters and expensive shoes.
He preferred clothes that allowed him the freedom to move under cars. So even when taking part in a school trip with me, he was dressed in his repairman’s suit. On the school bus to the campsite, all students on the bus happily chatted with their parents except me, who lowered the head, avoiding spotting my classmates’ mocking glance (讥笑的眼光) or hearing their jokes, which I thought was about nothing else but what my father wore.
I regretted telling my parents the school trip, and I was very angry why my mother had no spare time while my father happened to have a vacation. But my father failed to read my mind. He was very happy, whistling a tune along the way.
Though my father didn’t sense my bad mood, the school bus seemed as sad as I was. It drove more and more slowly and finally it stopped on the roadside. The driver got out to check the bus but found nothing wrong. Students and parents on the bus began to whisper about what was happening, worried that the delay might spoil the journey.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。
When others were complaining, my father stood up.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The school bus restarted and everyone cheered.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When others were complaining, my father stood up. Dressed in his repairman’s suit, he had jumped off the school bus without hesitation before I could stop him. “Another chance to be laughed at.” I thought to myself. He examined the bus carefully, using his pencils, glasses and wrenches (扳手) in his breast pocket. It was quite a long time before he was back on the bus again, his hands smeared with oil but a broad smile on his face. He told the driver that there was something was wrong with the engine, but now it was ok.
The school bus restarted and everyone cheered. All the parents thumbed up to show their appreciation and those who once mocked me even smiled at me with admiration. I hugged my father tightly for a minute. Only then did I feel proud though he still wore those plain clothes. I finally understood one can’t be judged by what he or she wears. I no longer envy others having a father dressed smartly. I love my father, who teaches the profound truth: It is one’s character, not what one wears that really matters.
【解析】
【导语】本文以作者对父亲态度的转变为线索展开,讲述了作者觉得父亲的穿着总让他感到很尴尬,甚至后悔告诉父母学校旅行的事,因为父亲在学校旅行时依旧穿着让我觉得受尽嘲笑的修理工的衣服,但我父亲没能读懂我的心思,他非常高兴,一路上吹着口哨。途中校车出了故障,多亏了我修理工的父亲这一切才得到解决,这一切让我重新认识到我们评判一个人时不能仅仅看他的衣着,更重要的是他的品行。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“当别人在抱怨时,我父亲站了起来。”可知,第一段可描写父亲修理车的过程以及我和车上其他人的反应。
②由第二段首句内容“校车重新启动,每个人都欢呼起来。”可知,第二段可描写父亲将车修理以后其他人的反应以及我对父亲的态度的转变以及我的感悟。
2.续写线索:父亲主动站出来修车——其他人的反应、我的反应——车修好——其他人对父亲的赞赏——我态度的转变——我的感悟。
