Question

B [2015 •長春普通高中三檢]

Raised in a motherless home, my father was extremely tight-fisted 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 severe 

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 walk?ing 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 cancelled 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 grey moving along the top of the hedge, moving towards 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 grey became my watchtow-er. 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.，，

Answer 1

B [文章大意]本文是一篇記敘文。作者開始時誤解了父親，一次偶然的機會使作者理解了父親，感受到了深深的父愛。

5. D詞義猜測題。上文都是對父親的抱怨，故此處應(yīng)是"不高興地說"，故選D。 accept happily高興地接受；explain clearly清楚地解釋；agree willingly心甘情愿地同意；speak unhappily不高興地說。

6.  C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段的"I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety."可知作者認為父親不關(guān)心自己的安全，因此作者感覺自己不被重視，故選C.

7. A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段的"Then I knew, each time I'd come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely."可知，父親擔心作者的安全。故選A。

8.A主旨大意題。文章字里行間都透露著父親對作者的關(guān)愛，作者由開始的不理解到發(fā)現(xiàn)父親的秘密，感受到了如山的父愛。故選A。
