Question

FFather was a hardworking man who delivered bread as a living to support his wife and three children. He spent all his evenings after work attending classes，hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better. paid job. Except. for Sundays, Father hardly ate a meal together with his family. He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best that money could buy.
Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. Though he often longed to spend more time with his family, he weighed his contribution to his family above everything else.
The day came when the examination results were announced. To his joy, Father passed, and with distinctions too! Soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely.
Like a dream come true, Father could now afford to provide his family with life’s little luxuries like nice clothing，fine food and vacation abroad.
However, the family still did not get to see Father for most of the week. He continued to work very hard, hoping to be promoted to the position of manager. In fact, to make himself a worthily candidate for the promotion, he took another course in an open university.
Again, whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. Though he often longed to spend more time with his family, he weighed his contribution to his family above everything else.
Father’s hard work paid off and he was promoted. Happily, he decided to hire a maid to relieve his wife from her domestic tasks. He also felt that their three-room flat was no longer big enough. It would be nice for his family to be able to enjoy the facilities and comfort of a condominium.  Having experienced the rewards of his hard work many times before, Father resolved to further his studies and work at being promoted again. The family still did not get to see much of him. In fact, sometimes Father had to work on Sundays entertaining clients.
 Over again, whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. Though he often longed to spend more time with his family, he weighed his contribution to his family above everything else.
As expected, Father's hard work paid off again and he bought a beautiful condominium overlooking the coast of Singapore. On the first Sunday evening at their new home, Father declared to his family that he decided not to take any more courses or pursue any more promotions. From then on he was going to devote more time to
his family, and it was a promise.
Father did not wake up the next day.

解析試題分析：本文是一篇記敘文。作者用客觀敘事的樸實(shí)手法描述了一位父親勤勞工作、刻苦學(xué)習(xí)，最后卻無法家人一起共享他這么做的成果。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best that money could buy.可知應(yīng)選C。
【小題2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, 可知他無法和家人一起度過快樂的時光，故選A。
【小題3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)我們的常識判斷，當(dāng)家人看到這種情況后，后悔當(dāng)初沒有勸告他不要這樣拼命地工作而不管身體，故選B。
【小題4】文章結(jié)構(gòu)題。學(xué)生對文章修辭運(yùn)用方面的理解，斜體段落重復(fù)出現(xiàn)是為了襯托出最后一句中隱含的意思，故選D。
考點(diǎn)：日常生活類短文閱讀。
點(diǎn)評：推理判斷題需要考生正確的閱讀短文對語篇有個整體的把握。會根據(jù)語句之間的邏輯關(guān)系、段內(nèi)的語義關(guān)系及篇章的語義關(guān)系，從段落、篇章的角度理解文章的主旨、作者的觀點(diǎn)和態(tài)度。做此類試題要善于抓住某一段話中的關(guān)鍵信息，即某些關(guān)鍵詞或短語去分析、推理、判斷，利用逆向思維或正面推理，從而推斷出這句話所隱含的深層含義。
