My teenage son Karl became withdraw after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent(缺席) 95 times from classes and has six falling grades for the year. At this rate he would never graduate(毕业), I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged(乞求) him. Nothing worked. One night o felt so powerless that I got down on my knees(膝盖) and pleaded(恳求) for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope(绳子). I’m giving the whole thing up to you.” I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands. “For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up. Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll .In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.” 小题1: Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “withdrawn”?A.Quiet and lonely. | B.Relaxed and excited. | C.Active and lively. | D.Happy and easy-going. | 小题2:When the mother said “It’s out of my hands” to the headmaster, she meant that she ______.A.didn’t know what to do about her son | B.would drive her son away from the house | C.had no money to support the family | D.would have to hang up | 小题3:Who was it that telephoned Karl’s mother that day?A.The headmaster | B.The school adviser | C.Karl himself | D.The passage doesn’t tell us | 小题4:From the passage we can learn that ______.A.children in single-parent families always have mental problems | B.mother’s love plays an important role in teenagers’ life | C.parents should give their children everything that they need | D.school education still works well without the support from parents |

试题分析:短文大意:卡尔在他父亲去世后变得孤僻。他的母亲竭尽所能帮助他但都无效。有一天卡尔冒充校长给他母亲打电话,就是这一次谈话才改变了卡尔。告诉人们母亲的爱在孩子的生活中起着多么重要的作用。 小题1:词义猜测题。根据文章首句My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died。(我儿子卡尔在他爸去世后变得很孤僻)可推知withdrawn的意思为安静的、孤独的,所以选A。 小题2:细节理解题。根据第二段中I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked.(我爱我的儿子,但我只是不知道该怎么做。我想尽办法想让卡尔回到学校,但都不凑效)可知“It’s out of my hands”意为不知道该对她儿子做什么,所以选A. 小题3:细节理解题。根据文中he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me”可知那天给卡尔母亲打电话的就是卡尔本人,所以选C. 小题4:推理判断题。通过本文我们可以想象母亲的爱在孩子的生活中起着多么重要的作用,所以选B. |
