题型:不详难度:来源:
An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.
Suddenly a crow(乌鸦)perched on the tree near their window.
The father asked his son, “What is this? ”
The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son the 2nd time, “What is this?”
The son said, “Father, I have just now told you It’s a crow’. ”
After a little while, the old father again asked his son the 3rd time, “What is this? ”  
“It’s a crow, a crow, a crow.” said the son loudly.
A little after, the father again asked his son the 4th time, “What is this?”
This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this?”
A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel annoyed; I rather felt affection for my innocent child. ”
小题1: In what tone did the son say to his Father “It’s a crow, a crow, a crow. ”?
A.impatientB.excited C.hurried D.surprised
小题2:Why did the Father ask the same question again and again?
A.Because he wanted to make his son angry.
B.Because he was too old to remember anything.
C.Because he couldn"t understand what his son said.
D.Because he wanted to see how patient his son would be.
小题3:How old was the old man when his son asked him 23 times “What is this”?
A.35 years old.B.38 years old.C.45 years old.D.80 years old.

A.A crow.B.Father"s love.C.An old dairy. D.An old man.

答案

小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:B
小题4:B
解析

试题分析:有一天老父亲看到靠窗子的树上落了一只鸟,就问了儿子3次:那树上是什么?,儿子很不耐烦。老父亲拿出了一本记录儿子成长的日记。上面记录了儿子3岁的时候问了相同的问题23次,而父亲每次都是很耐心告诉孩子:那是一只乌鸦。 
小题1:细节理解题。由““It’s a crow, a crow, a crow.” said the son loudly.”可知父亲问了3次让儿子很不耐烦。 impatient没有耐心的;excited 激动; hurried 匆忙; surprised惊讶的。故选A。
小题2:推理判断题。由最后一段可知父亲的日记记录了儿子3岁的时候问了相同的问题但是父亲没有生气,所以父亲想试试儿子的耐心。 故选D。
小题3:推理判断题。儿子今年45岁,日记中3岁,所以今年80岁的父亲42年前是38岁。 故选B。
小题4:主旨大意题。全文讲了相同的事情父亲和儿子不同的反应,表现的是父亲对儿子的爱。 故选B。

举一反三
The sun had gone behind a cloud. I was very tired and wanted nothing in the world so much as to be at home. At last I got to the gate of Hide Park. But this was worse than ever; there were buses there—high and terribly red cars, taxis and still more buses in an endless line. Everywhere there were people hurrying past or waiting to get into the buses, while I stood lost in the middle of them.
I was ready to cry. In despair, I crossed the street on to an “island”, where I found a policeman. I took my last bit of courage in both hands and said, “Please, sir, where is Addison Road?” He began to explain, but when he saw that I couldn’t understand he became helpless, too. “Are you French at school?” A few minutes later, he smiled and raised his hand.

I’ve often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist. It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.
My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.
The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn’t leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.
From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.
Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.
小题1:The writer went to Iceland to ______.
A.enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergs
B.take photos about the region for a book
C.collect materials for psychological research
D.challenge the high mountains there
小题2:During the trip in Iceland, those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT that ______.
A.they got lost in the mountain
B.they were short of food and fuel
C.they couldn’t see the surroundings clearly
D.they failed to get in touch with the rescue team
小题3:From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers ______.
A.were in despair before they were rescued
B.stayed in the hut for three days altogether
C.got sick because of going for ski outside
D.got rescued immediately the weather turned fine
小题4:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.
B.In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.
C.The travellers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.
D.Awful journeys may become life-changing events that inspire people.
