Question

I’ve changed my mind. “ I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my dad back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to father for Christmas written after his schoolteacher’s father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched everyone’s heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father there too, either in your mind and heart. I find that my parents, who died years ago, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all my mother said was “ I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors, and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It’s a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword, and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

Answer 1

【小題1】A
【小題2】B
【小題3】D
【小題4】A
【小題5】D

解析試題分析：
【小題1】.A 通讀第一段可知，該段的作用是引起下文，把讀者帶入到作者想要討論的話題中。
【小題2】B 根據(jù)第二段最后一句The values of my parents still live on可知，作者之所以會夢到父母是因為體會到了父母的價值，這也是作者講述自己經(jīng)常夢到父母的主要原因。
【小題3】D 根據(jù)她母親的回復(fù)I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!可知，她的母親擔心她把時間過多放在了工作方面，沒有陪孩子的時間，因此是擔憂
【小題4】A 根據(jù)最后一段的live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure可知，人生的價值體現(xiàn)在給與我們有關(guān)的、我們所愛的人留下最美好，最珍貴的回憶。
【小題】D 根據(jù)詩句的內(nèi)容和第一段內(nèi)容可知，作者是想讓第一段所發(fā)生的悲劇時間不在發(fā)生，讓暴力和謀殺遠離社會。
