Question

【題目】When my son was about five or six, I traveled a lot on business. I worried all the time about what the absence might mean to him. I knew how important it was for a boy to have his father near. When I was small, the times I loved most were the special moments I shared with my father. I cherished these special moments and, to this day, hold those memories dear. I decided to create those kinds of special times for my son.

In one of my letters home, I promised my son that I would teach him how to fly a kite and that we could go to a nearby beach and fly it as high as it would go. Through my travels I would pick up things for our kite adventure and send them to him. In my trip to Japan, I found the most beautiful blue silk with gold threads（線(xiàn)）woven through it. Perfect kite materials! I sent it home with a picture book that would serve as a weight.

When I got home at night, I found him sleeping sound, surrounded by all the items I had sent him for our kite. For the next week, we started to work on our masterpiece. We had our time together in the garage, after dinner. Finally, it was finished. The blue silk made it so beautiful. He was obviously eager to fly it soon. “We’ll fly it tomorrow, right, Dad?” “Yes, if the weather is right,” I explained that we needed wind to lift the kite off the ground. I was afraid that it might rain. “We’ll fly it because I’m going to pray with all my heart for the best kite weather.” He was right. I will never underestimate（低估）the power of a child’s prayer any more.

My son is a dad now, with children of his own. Though we are both busy, we still try to make time for each other. The other day, we met for coffee. While paying for our coffee, his wallet dropped on the ground and something fell out. Suddenly, a flood of memories washed over us as he put back his treasure into wallet—the blue silk with gold threads woven through it.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

試題這是一篇記敘文。作者回憶了與兒子度過(guò)的美好時(shí)光。盡管經(jīng)常出差，但是作者仍舊努力找出時(shí)間來(lái)與兒子在一起。直到兒子也成為一個(gè)父親，兒子也非常珍惜這些與父親在一起的日子。

【1】詞句猜測(cè)題。由上文“When I was small, the times I loved most were the special moments I shared with my father.”可知，作者小時(shí)候最喜歡的是與自己的父親一起度過(guò)的日子，因此推斷作者非常珍惜這些回憶，畫(huà)線(xiàn)詞cherish的意思是“珍惜”，與value意義相近。故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。由第一段的“I worried all the time about what the absence might mean to him. I knew how important it was for a boy to have his father near.”可知，作者一直擔(dān)心缺席兒子的成長(zhǎng)。知道一個(gè)男孩有他父親在身邊是多么重要。因此推斷作者認(rèn)為花費(fèi)一些時(shí)光與孩子在一起對(duì)于孩子們來(lái)說(shuō)是最重要的。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的“In my trip to Japan, I found the most beautiful blue silk with gold threads（線(xiàn)）woven through it. Perfect kite materials! I sent it home with a picture book that would serve as a weight.”可知，作者在旅行途中，發(fā)現(xiàn)了一種完美的風(fēng)箏材料——藍(lán)色的帶金絲的絲綢，于是買(mǎi)下了它連同一本圖畫(huà)書(shū)寄回了家。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。最后一段講述盡管兒子也做了父親，但是父子倆仍舊努力騰出時(shí)間相聚，偶然地一次作者發(fā)現(xiàn)兒子把小時(shí)候自己為他買(mǎi)的藍(lán)色絲綢珍藏在錢(qián)包里，因此推斷最后這一段作者想要表達(dá)的是父親的愛(ài)是非常寶貴的。故選D。
