Question

“Dad,” I say one day …..take a trip. Why don’t you fly and meet me?”
My father had just reired……….. His job filled his day, his thought, his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drfting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
“ What is our first stop?” asks my father.
“What time is it?”
“Still don’t have a watch?”
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of little boy.
“Unbelievable,” he says, “How was this done?”
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and I ask myself, Would I ever devote my life to anything?
No directions, …… I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.
“Did you ever travel with your dad? I ask.
“Only once,” he says. “ I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other---but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”>
The kast sebtebce----it’s probably the same thing I’s say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world, I can keep traveling, I realize--- and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip, I call my father.
“The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says.” We have got to take another trip like that sometime.
I tell him I’ve learn decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.

【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。敘述了作者的父親在退休前一直忙于工作，沒有時間走出去旅行，而兒子平時整天我所事事。在兒子的請求下，父子兩個進行了一次旅行，通過這次旅行兩人都改變了對人生的觀點。
小題1:C. 考查細節(jié)理解。我們從2、3段能夠了解到關(guān)于父親的什么。根據(jù)My father sees me driffing aimlessly,nothing to show for my 33 years.可知父親對作者的生活方式不滿，故選C。
小題2:D. 考查判斷推理。作者在Mount Rushmore意識到什么？根據(jù)I realize—and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.可以推知作者意識到自己應(yīng)該有自己的人生目標了，故選D。
小題3:B. 考查句意理解。從劃線的句子我們看到作者的什么情況。根據(jù)劃線的句子的內(nèi)容可知作者想說的關(guān)于父親的話，和作者的孩子說的關(guān)于作者的話內(nèi)容是一樣的�？芍�這里指的是作者慢慢地理解了父母對孩子的愛。故選B。
小題4:D. 考查判斷推理。從故事的結(jié)尾可以推出作者和父親怎樣了。根據(jù)最后的幾句父親和作者的話，父親要改變以前的做法，想要在將來的某個時候繼續(xù)旅行，作者決定安頓下來，不再無所事事，所以可推出他們通過這次旅行都改變了各自的人生觀點，故選D。
小題5:C. 考查文章標題。這篇文章的標題是什么？根據(jù)短文的內(nèi)容可知主要敘述的是作者和父親的一次旅行經(jīng)歷。故選C。選項A愛自然、愛生活，這個標題太大，不符合原文；選項B，只提到了兒子的探險，有點片面，故排除B；選項D旅行藝術(shù)，短文中沒有提到這方面的內(nèi)容，故排除D。
