Question

4．My father had always been an alert observer of human character．Within seconds of meeting someone，he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses．It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad's test．None did．Dad was always right-they didn't pass my test either．After Dad died，I wondered how I'd figure it out on my own．
That's when Jack arrived on the scene．He was different from any other guy I'd dated．He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother，discussing some composers．My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn't a turkey like the other guys I'd brought home．Jack passed my family's test．But what about Dad's？
Then came my mother's birthday．The day he was supposed to drive，I got a call．"Don't worry，"he said，"but I've been in an accident．I'm fine，but I need you to pick me up．"
When I got there，we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom．"How about gardenias？"Jack said，pointing at a beautiful white corsage．The florist put the corsage in a box．
The entire ride，Jack was unusually quiet．"Are you all right？"I asked．"I've been doing a lot of thinking，"he said．"I might be moving．"Moving？Then he added，"Moving in with you．"I nearly put the car on the sidewalk．"What？"I asked．"I think we should get married，"he said．He told me he'd planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant，but after the accident，he decided to do it right away．"Yes，"I whispered．We both sat stunned，tears running down our cheeks．I'd never known such a tender moment．If only Dad were here to give his final approval．
"Oh，let's just go inside．"Jack laughed．My mother opened the door．"Happy Birthday!"we shouted．Jack handed the box to her．She opened it up．Suddenly，her eyes were filled with tears．"Mom，what's wrong？"I asked．"I'm sorry，"she said，wiping her eyes．"This is only the second gardenia corsage I've ever received．I was given one years ago，long before you kids were born．""From who？"I asked．"Your father，"Mom said．"He gave me one right before we were engaged．"My eyes locked on Jack's as I blinked away tears．Dad's test？I knew Jack had passed．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述了爸爸是一個(gè)善于判斷別人性格的人，我的很多男朋友都沒有通過他的考查，在父親去世后，Jack通過做的一系列的事，感動(dòng)了家里人，母親認(rèn)為，Jack可以通過父親的考查．

解答 56．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第一段"My father had always been an alert  observer of human character．Within seconds of meeting someone，he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses．"可知，父親是個(gè)警覺的觀察員，擅長(zhǎng)判斷人的性格．故選B．
57．A． 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段"Jack passed my family's test．But what about Dad's？"可知，Jack通過了家人的考查．但是父親已經(jīng)去世了，父親那關(guān)暫時(shí)不知是否通過．故選A．
58．D．推理預(yù)測(cè)題．根據(jù)文章第五段"he said．He told me he'd planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant，but after the accident，he decided to do it right away．"可知，他計(jì)劃在飯店里向我求婚，"proposal"是求婚之意．故選D．
59．C．推理預(yù)測(cè)題．根據(jù)文章第五段"The entire ride，Jack was unusually quiet．"Are you all right？"I asked．"I've been doing a lot of thinking，"he said．"I might be moving．"Moving？Then he added，"Moving in with you．"I nearly put the car on the sidewalk．"What？""可知，這次的Jack表現(xiàn)得太過于平靜，顯得很不平常．我對(duì)他的表現(xiàn)和說的話很驚訝．故選C．
60．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章最后一段"I was given one years ago，long before you kids were born．""From who？"I asked．"Your father，"Mom said．"He gave me one right before we were engaged．"My eyes locked on Jack's as I blinked away（眨掉） tears．Dad's test？I knew Jack had passed．"可知，Jack送給我媽媽的禮物和爸爸送的禮物一樣，母親很感動(dòng)．故選A．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文考察故事類閱讀．文章一般描述的是某一件具體事情的發(fā)生發(fā)展或結(jié)局，有人物、時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)和事件．命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件的之間的關(guān)系、作者的態(tài)度及意圖、故事前因和后果的推測(cè)等方面著手，考查學(xué)生對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的辨認(rèn)能力以及推理判斷能力．閱讀這類材料時(shí)，同學(xué)們一定要根據(jù)主要情節(jié)掌握文章主旨大意，同時(shí)抓住每一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)，設(shè)身處地根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容揣摩作者的態(tài)度和意圖，根據(jù)情節(jié)展開想象，即使是碰到深層理解題也可迎刃而解．
