Question

【題目】七選五
When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad's office. When he told me that he was laid off, I thought he was joking. Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker. He has prided himself on his career.（1）I guess I had taken his work for granted.
（2）For starters, he was home all the time. It meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. （3）He seemed down, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my spending money, which wasn't much. I also found a part-time job.
（4）He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it. One evening I asked if he needed help. “Only if it doesn't affect school,” he said. I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months.
（5）The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B. I can ask for help and take risks. What I have learned from my dad's understanding of business and his work ethic（信條）are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn. And they will be my principles for success.
A. Providing for our family has been his joy.
B. I made every effort to solve his problems.
C. I began to notice how losing his job had affected him.
D. My father's unemployment created many changes in our lives.
E. After months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction.
F. His courage and determination helped him to become successful in his new career.
G. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action influenced me a lot.

Answer 1

【答案】A；D；C；E；G
【解析】（1）推理題。父親作為家里的掉頂梁柱，養(yǎng)活家人是他的職責所在，我也把這一點當成理所當然的事情。根據上下文說明A項正確。
（2）推理題。根據下面兩句For starters, he was home all the time. It meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school.可知本段描述的是父親失業(yè)以后的家庭生活的變化。故D項符合上下文。
（3）推理題。根據下面三句He seemed down, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my spending money, which wasn't much. I also found a part-time job. 可知都是在描述失業(yè)以后，父親身上的變化，也就是說失業(yè)對爸爸的影響。故C項符合上下文。
（4）根據下一句He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business.可知父親開始自己做生意，不想在做員工而悲哀別人所解雇。故E項正確。
（5）推理題。根據接下來的兩句The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B.可知父親失業(yè)的經歷對我也產生了很大的影響。故G項符合上下文。故G正確。
