Question

【題目】We lived in a quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash. Earlier my wife had asked me to the store for soft drinks. My teenage daughter Holly practiced her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck.

At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said ： “My heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won't last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won't last. "

After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted, ‘ Holly crashed your truck. ’

The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van. In her inexperience, she had confused the brake and the gas pedal. Holly was unhurt physically, but she was crying, “Dad, I'm sorry. I know how much you love this truck. ，" I held her in my arms as she cried.

Later a friend asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. She said, “That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad's car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me. “Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of that night. It was a deep wound on her soul.

I remembered how sad Holly was the night she crashed our truck, and how I comforted her. When Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property.

I repaired the van, but the dent in my truck is still there to-day. Every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life.

【解析】【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中My teenage daughter Holly practiced her driving, 可知我想讓她練練車技。B選項(xiàng)迷惑性較大，是說作者想給女兒一個教訓(xùn)不符合原文第一段內(nèi)容。C選項(xiàng)為主觀臆斷，沒有確鑿的依據(jù)。

【2】推理判斷題。解答本題可以運(yùn)用排除法。A根據(jù)第四段中 Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van. 可以推斷作者家中不僅僅有一輛車。B根據(jù)第二段信息可知，兒子也很喜歡這輛卡車，但沒有根據(jù)說他根本不喜歡開車。C是一個主觀臆斷的說法，帶有絕對性。

【3】 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中In her inexperience, she had confused the brake and the gas pedal. 可知。C 為作者朋友/小時候出事故的原因。B、D為錯誤判斷，原文中沒有支持的根據(jù)。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段中I held her in my arms as she cried. 和倒數(shù)第二段可知。C根據(jù)第四段Holly was unhurt physically. . . ! held her in my arms as she cried. 可以排除。D選項(xiàng)根據(jù)第五段可知，作者朋友的父親狠狠教訓(xùn)了她一次，而沒有把她趕出家門。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，尤其是作者對待女兒的方式和作者朋友的父親對待類似事件處理的方式對比可知。A、B、C作為題目，概括角度都很小。本文屬于記敘文，作者的中心意圖是說明“沒有什么比生命更重要”這個道理。
