Ⅳ.阅读理解
I was quite angry with my professor last week when he gave us an assignment to “tell someone we love them”.It has to be someone we have never said those words to before or at least haven't shared those words with for a long time.
But as I began driving home my conscience(良心) started talking to me.It was telling me that I knew exactly who I needed to say “I love you” to.You see, five years ago, my father and I had a disagreement and really never settled it since that time.We avoided seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at family gatherings.
So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself I was going to tell my father I loved him.The next morning I was up bright and early.I could hardly sleep with excitement, nor did my wife.
At 9:00, I called my dad to see if I could come over after work.When he answered the phone, I just said, “Dad, can I come over after work tonight? I have something to tell you.” My dad responded with a_grumpy_face,_“Now what?” I assured him it wouldn't take long, so he finally agreed.
At 5:30, I was at my parents' house ringing the doorbell, praying that Dad would answer the door.Dad did answer the door.I didn't waste any time and took one step in the door and said, “Dad, I just came over to tell you that I love you.” His face softened and he began to cry.He reached out and hugged me and said, “I love you too, son.” Mom walked by with tears in her eyes.
Two days after that visit, my dad became unconscious(昏迷的).I don't know if he'll make it.What if I had waited to tell my dad? Maybe I will never get the chance again!
1.What problem did the author decide to solve?
A.His heavy office workload.
B.His hardlyfinished assignment.
C.His disagreement with his father.
D.His unpleasant family gatherings.
2.What does the underlined phrase “a_grumpy_face” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.Soft tone. B.Bad temper.
C.Good mood. D.Great despair.
3.How did the father feel when the author said “I love you” to him?
A.Confused. B.Shocked.
C.Moved. D.Indifferent.
4.Which sentence may be the best ending for the text?
A.So don't wait to do the things that you know ought to be done.
B.So don't believe there will be a problem without a solution.
C.So don't complain when your teacher gives you assignments.
D.So don't forget to visit your family even if you are very busy.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者很庆幸向父亲表达他的爱的故事。
1.C [解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“You see, five years ago, my father and I had a disagreement and really never settled it since that time.(你知道,五年前,我和父亲有过一次分歧,从那以后就一直没有解决。)”及第三段中的“So last Tuesday by the time I got home I had convinced myself I was going to tell my father I loved him.(所以上周二回到家时,我已经确信我会告诉我的父亲我爱他。)”可知,作者是想要解决他和父亲之间的分歧。故选C。
2.B [解析]词义猜测题。根据画线部分后文“I assured him it wouldn't take long, so he finally agreed.(我向他保证不会花很长时间,所以他最终同意了。)”可知,作者的父亲一开始是不同意的。由此推知,画线词组a grumpy face与Bad temper(脾气不好)意思接近。故选B。
3.C [解析]推理判断题。根据第五段中的“His face softened and he began to cry.(他的脸变得柔和起来,并开始哭泣。)”可推知,当作者告诉父亲“我爱你”的时候,作者的父亲很感动。故选C。
4.A [解析]推理判断题。根据故事情节以及最后一段中的“What if I had waited to tell my dad? Maybe I will never get the chance again! (如果我晚点告诉我爸呢?也许我再也没有机会了!)”可知,作者很庆幸自己当时没有犹豫,做了自己想做的事情。由此推知,“So don't wait to do the things that you know ought to be done.(不要犹豫去做那些你知道应该做的事情。)”符合作者的写作心境,适合作为文章的结尾。故选A。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过去异国他乡支教来改变人生的励志故事。
1.C [解析]根据空前的money in the bank for trips可推知,作者生活舒适,有出去旅游和款待他人的资金。treat作名词,意为“款待”。tip小费,窍门;reward奖赏,回报;fine罚款。
2.D [解析]根据语境可知,设空处的前后内容存在逻辑上的转折关系,故选D。thus因此;instead相反;otherwise否则;however然而。
3.B [解析]根据空后的loudly可推知,作者对之前所谓的美好生活并不满足,想生活得更加充满生气(brightly)。
4.C [解析]根据上文中的I was bored可知,作者厌倦了之前单调乏味的(grey)生活,希望生活更加丰富多彩一些,与上文中的make sharp memories相呼应。
5.D [解析]根据空前的But以及下文中的childhood shyness可推知,作者内心充满了恐惧。
6.B [解析]根据下文中的“even buying something in a shop caused me a great deal of __7__”和childhood shyness可推知,作者一直以来对自己都缺乏信心(confidence),与下文中的“And I tried everything,like reading books about confidence.”相呼应。
7.A [解析]根据设空后的even though I did get better as I got older可知,在孩童时期,去商店买东西都会给作者带来很多心理负担(stress)。
8.C [解析]根据空前的never可知,作者一直都没有克服(got over)自己孩童时期的害羞。
9.D [解析]根据句中的But可知,尽管作者尝试了很多方法,例如阅读有关(提升)自信的书籍,并采取了一些小的措施,但是都无济于事。
10.A [解析]根据设空前的So并结合句意可知,作者认为(figured)小的措施是不够的。
11.B [解析]去越南支教对于一向缺乏自信的作者来讲的确是跨出了不可思议的一大步。
12.C [解析]由下文中的the streets were unfamiliar和this very strange environment可知,作者身处异国他乡,对那里的食物感到陌生(strange)。
13.B [解析]throw at“朝……扔”。此处表示作者不知道自己是否能够应付在这个陌生环境中遇到的所有事情。
14.A [解析]根据上下文可推知,作者在越南支教期间增强了自信,与上文中的“And I tried everything,like reading books about confidence.”形成对比。
15.A [解析]由设空后的controlled my life和the selfdoubt可知,作者之前的生活被害怕(fear)控制,与上文中的that childhood shyness和afraid呼应。
