4．Raised in a fatherless home，my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children．His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college．I had to ride the bus whenever I came home．Though the bus stopped about two miles from home，Dad never met me，even in sever weather．If I grumbled， he'd say in his loudest father-voice，"That's what your legs are for!"
The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads．I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety．But that feeling was canceled one spring evening．
It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs．I longed for home．When the bus reached the stop，I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home．
A row of hedge（樹籬）edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house．Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey，I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home．On that particular evening，the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge，moving toward the house．Upon closer observation，I realized it was the top of my father's head．Then I knew，each time I'd come home，he had stood behind the hedge，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely．I swallowed hard against the tears．He did care，after all．
On later visits，that spot of gray became my watchtower．I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery．Upon reaching home，I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair．"So!My son，it's you!"he'd say，his face lengthening into pretended surprise．
I replied，"Yes，Dad，it's me．I'm home．"

A．Accepted happily．
B．Explained clearly．
C．Agreed willingly．
D．Spoke unhappily．
22．What made the author feel upset wasC．

C．the feeling of being less than valued  
D．the loneliness of riding the bus home
23．The author's father watched behind the hedge becauseA．
A．he was concerned about his son's safety
B．he wanted to help his son build up courage
C．he didn't want to meet his son at the doorway
D．he didn't think his son was old enough to walk alone

A．My Father's Secret．
B．My College Life．
C．Terrible Journey Home．
D．Riding Bus Alone．

分析 這是一篇記敘文，在一個單親家庭中長大，我的父親是非常吝嗇向我們表達(dá)愛的，他的態(tài)度從不溫柔我成長到成年，去不論何時回家，我都不得不乘巴士，盡管車停的地方離家大約兩英里，爸爸從未接過我，即使是在惡劣的天氣下，本文以此展開，主要講述了裝作漠不關(guān)心的父親對我的關(guān)愛的故事．

解答 21．答案：D．詞義猜測題．考查考生根據(jù)語境猜測詞義的能力．由文章第1段最后一句父親的反應(yīng)""That's what your legs are for!""可推測出，作者是在抱怨．故選D．
22．答案：C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段中的I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety．可知，他感覺不受父親重視．故選C．
23．答案：A．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第四段最后兩句"Then I knew，each time I'd come home，he had stood behind the hedge，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely．I swallowed hard against the tears．He did care，after all．"中可推斷出，父親很在意我的安全．故選A．
24．答案：A．主旨大意題．從文章后半段中可知，作者發(fā)現(xiàn)了父親的秘密，體會到了父親的關(guān)愛．故選A．

點(diǎn)評 本文是一篇記敘文，題目涉及詞義猜測題，細(xì)節(jié)理解題，推理判斷題，主旨大意題，做題時應(yīng)結(jié)合文章上下文內(nèi)容并根據(jù)所給選項(xiàng)的含義進(jìn)行分析，從而得出正確答案．切記胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

13．A little girl whose parents had died lived with her grandmother and slept in an upstairs bedroom．
One night there was a fire in the house and the grandmother died while trying to rescue the child．The fire spread quickly，and the situation was terrible．
Neighbors called the fire department，then stood helplessly by，unable to enter the house because flames blocked all the entrances．The little girl appeared at an upstairs window，crying for help，just as word spread among the crowd that the firefighters would be delayed a few minutes because they were all at another fire．
Suddenly，a man appeared with a ladder，put it up against the side of the house and disappeared inside．When he reappeared，he had the little girl in his arms．He delivered the child to the waiting arms below，then disappeared into the night．
An investigation revealed that the child had no living relatives，and weeks later a meeting was held in the town hall to determine who would take the child into their home and bring her up．
A teacher said she would like to raise the child．She pointed out that she could ensure her a good education．A farmer offered her an upbringing（教養(yǎng)） on his farm．He pointed out that living on a farm was healthy and satisfying．Others spoke，giving their reasons why it was to the child's advantage to live with them．
Finally，the town's richest resident rose and said，"I can give this child all the advantages that you have mentioned here，plus money and everything that money can buy．"
Throughout all this，the child remained silent，her eyes on the floor．
"Does anyone else want to speak？"asked the meeting chairman．A man came forward from the back of the hall．He walked slowly and appeared to be in pain．
注意：
1．所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2．應(yīng)使用5個以上短文中標(biāo)有下劃線的關(guān)鍵詞語；
3．續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，每段的開頭語已為你寫好；
4．續(xù)寫完成后，請用下劃線標(biāo)出你所使用的關(guān)鍵詞語．
Paragraph 1：
When he got to the front of the room，he stood directly in front of the little girl and held out his arms．His hands and arms were terribly scarred．The little girl cried out，"This is the man who rescued me!"With a leap，she threw her arms around the man's neck．She buried her face in his shoulder and sobbed for a few moments．Then she looked up and smiled，stating happily she would live with him．
Paragraph 2：
When asked about her choice，the girl gave people the reasons firmly．She said in a low but determined voice，"I really desire to get a good education that will give me chances to live my dreams．Besides，I know that money means a lot to me since I have no relatives to rely on．But it's the man who saved my life when I was desperately facing a fire like that．Without him，I wouldn't be here，waiting for a new choice．I hope that I can do whatever I can to pay back his kindness．

11．My wife and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year．Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month．We were busy through those hot summer months，driving between visits．Our services were strictly held at the pet owner's home．It was almost too busy for the two of us，but we were making good money!

Then I went to neighbors for help．My wife arrived after ten minutes．The helpful neighbor and my wife led Hercules back into his pen （圈）．Then my husband and I took off to the hospital．
