As a kid, I loved watching him fill his pen with ink and write on the paper. “You know, typing on the computer is 91 , Jason,” he says. For my father, writing is a process of thinking, planning and creating, which all happen at once while he gently moves his pen on paper. All you can see is a(n) 92 movement. His pen moved across the paper, every line flowing smooth and even. I can sense his 93 through his pen — whether he is angry, anxious, hopeful, excited, lonely or worried. However, I would never have felt that if he had typed on the computer. When I was in the third grade, my father bought me a pen. The 94 of writing with it inspired me to write constantly. I even wrote stories with it. But as I grew up, like other kids of my generation, I looked for 95 and comfort, starting typing on the computer. My father, however, has always 96 to type. After moving to Canada, my writing 97 until finally I stopped. I felt 98 between languages and identities. I would stare at the blank screen all day, typing nothing because my mind stuck. “Put away the computer, Jason. Then, sit at a desk with a pen and write with patience. Reflect your feelings in your words. Don’t worry about making mistakes,” my father said. I promised him I would give it a try. The first day, I just wrote 99 and played with my pen. But the next day, I wrote a short story. I discovered the magic of pen on paper again. My father was right — it gives the soul to the 100 . Whenever I’m stuck, I grab a pen and start writing. 91．A．endless B．soulless C．aimless D．worthless 92．A．formal B．awkward C．steady D．adjustable 93．A．techniques B．emotions C．power D．effort 94．A．pressure B．fear C．joy D．pride 95．A．basis B．convenience C．tradition D．content 96．A．hesitated B．attempted C．afforded D．refused 97．A．reduced B．disappeared C．progressed D．enriched 98．A．relaxed B．scared C．trapped D．concerned 99．A．casually B．regularly C．nervously D．eagerly 100．A．actions B．options C．habits D．words 【答案】 91．B 92．C 93．B 94．C 95．B 96．D 97．A 98．C 99．A 100．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者父亲对写作和钢笔的热爱及对作者的影响。 91．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“你知道，在电脑上打字是没有灵魂的，杰森，”他说。A. endless无尽的；B. soulless没有灵魂的；C. aimless无目的的；D. worthless无价值的。根据后文“For my father, writing is a process of thinking, planning and creating, which all happen at once while he gently moves his pen on paper.”可知，父亲认为写作是思考、计划和创造的过程，而打字则没有这种灵魂。故选B。 92．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：你所能看到的只是一个稳定的动作。A. formal正式的；B. awkward笨拙的；C. steady稳定的；D. adjustable可调节的。根据后文“His pen moved across the paper, every line flowing smooth and even.”可知，父亲写字时笔在纸上移动，每行字都流畅而均匀，所以是一个稳定的动作。故选C。 93．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我能通过他的笔感受到他的情绪——无论是生气、焦虑、充满希望、兴奋、孤独还是担忧。A. techniques技巧；B. emotions情绪；C. power力量；D. effort努力。根据后文“whether he is angry, anxious, hopeful, excited, lonely or worried”可知，这里描述的是父亲的各种情绪。故选B。 94．考查名词词义辨析。句意：用钢笔写字的乐趣激励我不断地写。A. pressure压力；B. fear恐惧；C. joy乐趣；D. pride骄傲。根据后文“inspired me to write constantly”可知，父亲给作者的钢笔让他感受到了写字的乐趣，从而激励作者不断地写。故选C。 95．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但随着我长大，像我这一代的其他孩子一样，我开始在电脑上打字，寻求便利和舒适。A. basis基础；B. convenience便利；C. tradition传统；D. content内容。根据后文的“comfort”以及“starting typing on the computer”可知，与在纸上写字相比，在电脑上打字更方便和舒适，所以作者才开始在电脑上打字。故选B。 96．考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，我父亲一直拒绝打字。A. hesitated犹豫；B. attempted尝试；C. afforded买得起；D. refused拒绝。根据前文“However”以及后文父亲对作者说的“Put away the computer, Jason.
