Question

【題目】閱讀理解。

Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin，New York Knicks star；but I，watching him，saw someone else.That was my elder brother，Bob，who is athletic and energetic. He could never sit still when he was in second grade；he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.And sure enough，he grew up to be a starting player for an NCAA championship lacrosse (長曲棍球) team.He was a Nikeendorsed marathoner，too，and reached the top of Mt.Everest，unguided，in his 50s.

And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons，but that wasn’t until he was in his 20s.When Bob was in his glory days，our Shanghaineseborn parents were bent on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it：I can remember my father working through math books with him，lesson by lesson，at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor，though；and neither did I．It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.

Bob today could be the fittest 58yearold on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35；he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And，like Jeremy Lin，he’s charming.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building，and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.

And yet my parents did not cheer for him.What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics，like Jeremy Lin’s mother？What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate？It’s hard not to wonder.

And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things？Amy Chua，the tiger mother，recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word.How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular，GieMing Lin，encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?

試題分析：

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章一、二兩段內(nèi)容可知，鮑勃20多歲時在體育方面的表現(xiàn)很優(yōu)秀，由此可推知，鮑勃最輝煌的時期應(yīng)是他在體育運動中展現(xiàn)他的特長時。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的第三、四、五句內(nèi)容可知，鮑勃積極、樂觀，故A項當選。

【3】正誤判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段內(nèi)容可知，鮑勃曾經(jīng)在體育方面的表現(xiàn)非常優(yōu)秀，多次獲獎，若能堅持下去，他也許會成為一名體育明星，故B項正確。

【4】推理判斷題。在文章最后兩段中，作者用反問句暗示出家長應(yīng)該給孩子正確的教育，而不是強迫他們做這做那。
