Question

Dear Dad ,

Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards . They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you . Yet as I selected and read , it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you .

You’ll soon be 84 years old , Dad , and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together . I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day but I’ve always been with you in my heart .

You know , Dad , there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap . You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other .

The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear（檔位）when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the 54 Chevy whether you liked it or not . The police officer who sent me home after you reported the Chevy stolen didn’t have much tolerance for a stubborn 16 year old , while you were so tolerant about it , Dad , and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life .

Our relationship picked up when I married a man you liked , and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left . Somewhere along the line , the generation gap disappeared . I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together , rather like a fine wine .

But the strangest thing happened last week . I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car . It didn’t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car . It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere . Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day .

I guess what I’m trying to say , Dad , is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today . Honoring a father on Father’s Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking . It’s about loving someone more than words can say , and it’s wishing that it never had to end .

I love you , Dad .

Love ,

Jenny

【解析】

試題分析: 本文是一封女兒在父親節(jié)之際寫(xiě)給八十四歲老父親的一封感人至深的信，在信中作者回憶了父親對(duì)自己叛逆時(shí)期所表現(xiàn)出的寬容，講述了父女關(guān)系的逐步改善，也表達(dá)了女兒對(duì)父親的感激之情，讓讀者也感受到了“父愛(ài)如山”這句話的含義。

1.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段提到Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards . They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you . Yet as I selected and read , it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you 今天我在商場(chǎng)的時(shí)候, 我讀了好長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的有關(guān)“父親節(jié)”的賀卡。那些卡片上面的文字很特別，也或多或少地表達(dá)出了我對(duì)您的感受。我挑選讀過(guò)一次后，又挑選讀了一遍，但那并不是一張賀卡所能表達(dá)出我想對(duì)您說(shuō)的話的，故選D 項(xiàng)。

2.A 根據(jù)第五段提到Our relationship picked up when I married a man you liked , and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left我嫁了一個(gè)您喜歡的女婿后，我們倆之間的關(guān)系才緩和了好多。后來(lái)，我們?yōu)榱撕煤玫厣鷤�(gè)孩子，就離開(kāi)了，我們之間的那些事情也就結(jié)束了，故選A項(xiàng)。

3.B 細(xì)節(jié)推斷題。根據(jù)第六段提到It didn’t immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car . It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere . Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day可是我并沒(méi)有立刻反映到那是爸爸您。因?yàn)槟莻�(gè)人開(kāi)著車(chē)，又在那部大車(chē)的車(chē)輪后面，就顯得他歲數(shù)很大，身體也很虛弱的樣子。可我卻感到不知道從哪里飛來(lái)的一記耳光似的重重地打在我的臉上，也許，那是我第一次“看見(jiàn)”您的年齡，也許，只有我自己看見(jiàn)罷了，故選B項(xiàng)。

4.C主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)兩段Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and it's wishing that never had to end. 可知作者寫(xiě)這封信的目的正是為了表示對(duì)爸爸的愛(ài)和感激。故B正確。
