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 greatly improved 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 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自己叛逆時期所表現(xiàn)出的寬容，講述了父女關(guān)系的逐步改善，也表達(dá)了女兒對父親的感激之情，讓讀者也感受到了“父愛如山”這句話的含義。

1.C推理判斷題。A失望的；B緊張的；C內(nèi)疚的；D害怕的。從文章第四段while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.可知作者因為父親對她的寬容而內(nèi)心愧疚，答案選C。

2.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段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.可知Jenny和父親曾經(jīng)有段時期因為代溝而不能很好的了解彼此,故答案選D.

3.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文章第六段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.可知作者一時沒有認(rèn)出父親來是因為她沒有意識到父親竟然如此衰老，所以內(nèi)心涌出一種與往日不同的情感，答案選B。

4.C推理判斷題。文章開頭介紹了這封信的寫作時間是在父親節(jié)，當(dāng)作者挑選父親節(jié)賀卡時內(nèi)心的感受：it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.而且在文章末段作者又表達(dá)了對父愛的感激之情，由此判斷C選項正確。
