Question

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new house in Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I wanted very much to see his new place and meet his friends.

In my earliest memories my father was a tall, handsome and successful man. He loved his work and family, but was uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I was afraid of him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s in my study and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to try hard to think up things to say to protect myself.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny talks. My father’s critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules were gone. He seemed so friendly and interesting to be with us.

The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me many stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m happy with my new friend. My dad, in this new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文介紹了作者和她最小的兒子上周去Arizona看望她的父親。作者回憶了從前的父親，對(duì)她是多么的嚴(yán)格。作為孩子她愛(ài)父親，作為學(xué)生或年輕的成年人，她怕父親。來(lái)到父親住處之后，通過(guò)兩天的交往，她理解了父親，最后看到了父親的另一面，有了父親這樣的“新朋友”很高興。

1.straight A’s in my study and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. ”可知如果我在學(xué)習(xí)中不獲得全A或者假如我男朋友的父親不像他一樣成功，他好像就不高興，說(shuō)明父親對(duì)作者的期望值太高，故選B。

2.straight A’s in my study”的句意：如果我在學(xué)習(xí)中不獲得全A，他好像就不高興。A代表優(yōu)秀，故選A。

3.

4.

5.my new friend.”可知許多年之后，作者終于看到了父親的另一面，而且對(duì)自己的新朋友感到滿意，此處新朋友指作者的父親，故選B。

考點(diǎn)：故事類閱讀。
