I never saw my father home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a “night out with the boys”. He had no bobbies but just took care of his family.
For 22 years, since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday at 9:00 am. He was always interested in my life-how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my mother were in Australia, England or Florida.
Nine years ago when I bought me first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours a day for three days, painting my house. He would not allow me to pay someone to have it done. All he asked, was a glass of iced tea, and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him. But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.
Five years ago, my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set(秋千)for my daughter. Again, all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea, and talk to him, But again, I had laundry to do, and the house to clean.
The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1995, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before. I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.
The call came at 4:40 am. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida. I got on a plane immediately, and I vowed(发誓)that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him ad really get to know him.
I arrived in Florida at 1:00 am, but my father had passed away at 9:12 pm. This time it was he who did not have time to talk, or time to wait for me.
In the years since his death I have learnt much about my father, and even more about every single day.

解析

试题分析:这篇短文中作者给我们讲述了她的父亲,她父亲是一个很顾家的人,眼里只有他的家人。作者在短文中讲述了生活中的几件事情,从这些事情中我们可以看到,作者因为太忙,跟父亲没有太多的交流,当作者想要弥补时,父亲却离开了她。
小题1:细节理解题。根据短文第一段中I never saw my father home from work late or ill, nor did I ever see my father take a “night out with the boys”. He had no bobbies but just took care of his family.可知,作者的父亲从来没有下班回家晚过,也从来没有生过病,他没有爱好,心里只有他的家人。由此可知选D。
小题2:细节理解题。根据短文第三段中But I was too busy, for I had a law practice to run, and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush, or talk to my father.可知,作者买了新房刷漆的时候,她很忙,没有时间帮她的父亲刷房子,也没有时间和父亲聊天。故选B。
小题3:细节理解题。根据短文第五段中The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1995, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before可知,在1995年1月16日,作者的父亲像往常一样给她打电话,这一次他好像忘了他们以前讨论过的一些事。从这里我们可以知道,这一次打电话作者发现父亲跟以前有点不一样。故选A。
小题4:词义猜测题。根据划线短语所在的句子以及上下文的意思可知I vowed(发誓)that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him ad really get to know him.,当作者的父亲被送到医院的时候,作者赶紧坐飞机回家,她发誓这一次要把过去失去的时间补回来,好好的跟父亲聊一聊,更多的去了解父亲。因此这里的get to know 并不是认识父亲的意思,而是过去作者都没有时间和父亲聊天,对父亲她了解的很少。因此选B。
小题5:主旨大意题。这篇短文中作者给我们讲述了她的父亲,她父亲是一个很顾家的人,眼里只有他的家人。作者在短文中讲述了生活中的几件事情,从这些事情中我们可以看到,作者因为太忙,跟父亲没有太多的交流,当作者想要弥补时,父亲却离开了她。因此C选项父亲和我,这个题目最适合文章的意思,故选C。

As we all know, eating habits are different in different countries. The Chinese have a      . “Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat        at dinner.” Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their       about lunch and dinner are different.
Most Americans only give       a short time for lunch. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Talking about their day with all the family is a great way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.
Eating at restaurants is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh while     . Very often you can hear people talking and laughing       , and they are just having a good time. In America it is not like this. If someone is talking too loudly at table, the manager of the restaurant may       and ask them to be quiet. After dinner, it’s thought quite rude if you leave       you finish eating. You are expected to stay and        around the dinner table.
So if you want to be       , there’s an English saying, “When in Rome, do as Romans do.”

On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. “And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”
Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides (隐匿处) near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade (荫处) out of the wind and rain.
Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazines and newspapers. But a success rate of 1 in 20 is good.
小题1:Why did Leila lie under her car on the stomach?
A.Because she wanted to sleep.
B.Because she wanted to take photos but was afraid of the animals.
C.Because it’s easy to see the elephants.
D.Because it’s very comfortable.
小题2:How can photographers take good photos?
A.By making good preparation.
B.By going into the forest at night.
C.By walking around the holes.
D.By going to the nearest lake.
小题3:What can we know from the last sentence of the passage?
A.The successful rate of taking wildlife photos is 50% at most.
B.Photographers who take wildlife photos need more practice.
C.To take good wildlife photos is not difficult.
D.It’s hard to take good wildlife photos.

We always regard dogs as man’s best friends. But what about cats?
Cats can also do us a favor sometimes.
Here is a comparison of the two animals.
A Friend Helps You When You’re Sick.

Dogs
When Catherine lay down on the sofa, Pepe stared(盯) into her eyes and kept sniffing(嗅). After being pushed away, he suddenly jumped onto her chest. That’s when Catherine felt a pain that made her visit a doctor, and a fast-growing cancer was found. Months later, however, Pepe started staring and sniffing again. It seemed strange, but sure enough, Catherine’s cancer had spread.
Cats
Alana immediately finds a chair when Tee sits and stares directly into her face. That’s because Tee is warning her that she is about to faint(昏倒), which can happen as often as three times a day. But Alana won’t get hurt if she sits down. Not only does Tee warn Alana, but also her husband. Then the cat stays with Alana until she recovers.

Does this ever happen to you? Someone introduces you to a friend, you hear his or her name, and then two minutes later, you forget it. Or you go to the same restaurant every day and the owner always says “Hello” to you but you can never remember her name. If this happens, you are typical — actually most people have the problem remembering names.
Here are some ways that can help people remember names.
※ Repeat the person’s name loud at least three times while you talk together. For example, instead of saying “Nice to meet you.” say “Nice to meet you, Jack (for Sue or whatever the person’s name is).” Instead of saying “Where do you live?” you can say “Where do you live, Jack?”
※ Introduce the person by name to someone else right away.
※ Write the name down (with a little information about the person) as soon as possible.
There are other ways which may seem a little strange. However, try them.
※ Think of a story using the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack has a nice jacket.” Imagine Jack in a nice jacket.
※ Think of a rhyme(押韵)for the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack would look nice in black.” Imagine Jack wearing black clothes.
All these ways have one thing in common. You must pay attention to the people you meet. You can’t just meet someone, nod your head, say hello, and walk away. Remembering names takes work and practice.
根据短文内容,判断下列句子正误。正确的用“A”表示,不正确的用“B”表示。
小题1: Few people have problems remembering others’ names.
小题2:The word “typical” probably means “common”.
小题3: It may seem unusual to help remember a name by making up a story with it.
小题4:If you want to remember names easily, you must talk politely to the people you meet.
小题5: This passage mainly tells us how to get on well with others.

Traffic is becoming worse and worse in big cities. Heavy traffic has caused a lot of      to people’s life and work. For example, people have to get up      to go to work on time and come back very late when their work is     .
There are many causes (原因) for      problems, but the following may be the most important ones. One cause is the great increase (增长) in the         of private cars. Cars need more space but they      fewer people. When more and more cars appear, roads and streets become very     . It also causes air pollution. The other cause is that some people don’t care about traffic     . They cross the streets even when the traffic lights are still     . This may easily cause traffic accidents. But how can we      these problems? I think if we go out by bus or by bike more often, we’ll use cars less. It may be a helpful way.
