解析
小题1:根据第5段I swam to Dad可以确定是C(swimming)，父亲精通航海术，却不会游泳。
小题2:根据下文，作者陪父亲一同去航海，而且还救了落水的父亲，可知作者在很小的时
候就学会了(learned)航海和游泳。
小题3:上次作者跟他父亲一起去航海，但却遇到了意外，作者好不容易才救起了落水的父
亲，当然是十分难忘(unforgettable)。
小题4:下文叙述了作者跟其父亲一起去航海的经历。根据Dad hadn’t sailed for years,可知作者在大学毕业回家后，邀请(invited)父亲一同前往，去航海。
小题5:根据下文When we were in the middle of the lake, a 42 wind came all of a sudden.可知，作者他们到了湖心，突然起风。自然出发的时候应该是风平浪静(calm)，也才能够去航
海。
小题6:尽管父亲多年没有航海，但在父亲的掌控中，一切都进展顺利(go well)。
小题7:根据下文，他们的船随风颠簸，到处乱撞(violently)，而且父亲还被卷落水中，可知
一定是狂风大作(strong)。
小题8:参考上一题。
小题9:想想当时，肯定他们是遇险了，在作者记忆中，父亲应该是能处理好一切的险情(danger)，但这一次，却害怕了。(也许是老了吧，呵呵。)
小题10:根据he shouted in a trembling voice，可知父亲是害怕了，手也不听使唤了，颤抖的声音在那向作者求救。但是此时此刻，作者的爸爸“吓呆”了，不知如何是好。此处freeze表示“惊呆；吓呆”。
小题11:根据本句中的“he shouted in a trembling voice”可知作者的爸爸很害怕，大喊“救命”。
小题12:在作者的记忆中，爸爸可以解决任何“问题”。fix表示“解决（问题）”。
小题13:因为作者相信爸爸能够解决任何问题，所以总是向他寻求力量和庇护。 tum to表示“求教于；求助于”。后三项分别表示“与……生活在一起；忍受”“与……争论””反对”，都不符合语境。
小题14:作者还没有来得及回答，一个水“浪”就打到了小船上。前三项分别表示“喷泉”“溪流”“淋浴；阵雨”，均与语境不符。
小题15:根据下文中的“We were thrown into the water…”可知尽管作者冲向舵柄，”但是“已经太迟了。
小题16:下一句提到作者和爸爸被抛进了水中，由此可知巨大的水墙“打翻”了小船。A项“耗尽；顺利通过（考试等）”，B项“不断涌向”，D项“举起”，均不符合语境。
小题17:上一句提到作者的爸爸在水中漫无目的地挣扎，下文讲到作者如何帮父亲摆脱险境，由此可知作者在那一刻强烈地感觉到要“保护”他。
小题18:作者“快速地”游到爸爸身边，帮他爬上了船壳。
小题19:第四段提到作者的爸爸用颤抖的声音向作者求救，由此可知此时他为自己当时表现出来的“恐惧”感到尴尬。
小题20:更重要的是，作者发现轮到自己去“照看”父亲了。look out for sb.表示“关照”。
核心考点
试题【My father brought home a sailboat when I was ten, and almost each Sunday in summ】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Over one million copies of the book have been sold since its release in 2007. Go Lala Go!, a movie adaptation of the novel set to hit cinemas next weekend, has stirred up even more interest in the story. The film stars Xu Jinglei and Stanley Huang, but fans seem to be more excited about seeing the story unfold on the big screen.
According to a recent sina.com survey, 45 percent of the 6,810 netizens polled said they have drawn career pointers from the novel. Other office novels, such as In and Out of the Loop, Win and Lose and Drowning and Floating, seem to have been received with similar interest.
“These books show me the life of white collars, and they teach me career rules and jargon that are not offered in class,” said Zhang Shanshan, a 22-year-old senior at Beijing Forestry University. Zhang says the competition, humor and office gossip in the book intrigued her. “I can’t wait to embark on my own career,” she said.
The popularity of office novels does not surprise Chen Ning, a senior career consultant at Zhaopin.com. “Novels about office fights and struggles satisfy the psychological demands of an ordinary office worker,” Chen said. “The leading characters face great pressure, fierce competition and an uncertain future. This is what really happens in many readers’ daily life.”
Li Ke, the author of Du Lala’s Promotion, has been stressing the significance of her fiction. “I want to provide real and useful common sense, knowledge and experience to office workers,” Li told the Qianjiang Evening News last year.
Recent graduates say they have found the basic work principles highlighted in the novel to be instructive. “If these books had been published five years earlier, I might have avoided some problems,” said Xu Jun, an HR manager at Guangqi Honda Automobile Company. “They often discuss basic office principles, which are relevant for staff working under the middle management level. They also help readers to see the importance of basic problem solving and organizational skills.”
But some veteran employees warn that the novels are not always realistic. They say this is especially true of the characters. “The protagonists appear to be unbeatable,” said Hou Zhendong, an HR manager at General Electric. “Du Lala’s team leader quit in an irresponsible way; her boss is inept; and the staff around her is either stupid or overly-sophisticated. Du stands out in emergencies and makes all the right decisions. The truth is, real-life colleagues are not that polarized（截然对立）,” Hou said. “You seldom get to negotiate your salary with a big boss. And, most of the time, you make wrong decisions far more than you make correct ones.”
The career principles in the books are also of limited use. “Most of the stories happen in Fortune 500 companies with a long history. Their cultures are well-established, and their rules are scientific,” Hou said. “But if you work for a small foreign company, or a local enterprise, some principles are useless.”
Liu Rui, a project manager at IBM, suggests fans of these books focus on the little bits of wisdom they provide. “The novels give rookies（新手） some inspiration,” he said. “They emphasize the importance of observation, practice and self-examination. These tips are precious and universally true.”
小题1:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
| A．Recent graduates can learn a lot of useful career principles from the novel. |
| B．The best novel shows readers how to be promoted in various companies. |
| C．The book Go Lala Go! Sells very well. |
| D．The movie adaptation of the novel will be a massive hit at the box-office in China. |
| A．Du Lala’s story reflects the true office life. |
| B．Go Lala Go! Enjoys more popularity than other office novels, such as In and Out of the Loop, Win and Lose and Drowning and Floating. |
| C．Some people argue that the story is a bit polarized. |
| D．Both rookies and veteran employees are fond of Go Lala Go!. |
| A．The Life of White Collars |
| B．The Hottest Career Coach |
| C．How to Promote in Company |
| D．Go Lala Go! — Office Life Not All Fairytale Drama |
One day when they were at school, I spent some time tidying their rooms. On their desks, in plain 6 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill(the other card was 7 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.” 8 arriving back, the children were 9 excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy 10 for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 11 asking them to play a certain violin 12 . Each day, thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas 13 ．
Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little 14 : “If you can finish your homework and go over your lessons before dinner, I’d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 15 of well-done jobs the day 16 .
17 I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its （贴条）. The bathroom mirror became the 18 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be 19 .
We all benefited from and 20 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication．

This seemed like a very __38__ process, but there’s always some __39__soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then __40__ that we find ways to __41__ people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever __42__ my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my__43__, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff __44__ of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies（同伴） and I decided to play a __45__ on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b. (畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious __46__. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one __47__ found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name __48__ on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still __49__. Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few __50__, I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it.” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a __51__ discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you __52__ your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it __53__ all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to __54__all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to __55__the past wrongdoings.

Foreign tourists are often confused(困惑的) in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
小题1:When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ______.
| A．describe the place carefully |
| B．show him a map of the place |
| C．tell him the names of the streets |
| D．refer to recognizable buildings and places |
| A．New York. | B．Los Angeles. | C．Kansas. | D．Iowa. |
| A．in order to save time | B．as a test |
| C．so as to be polite | D．for fun |
| A．It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences. |
| B．It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly. |
| C．People have similar understandings of politeness. |
| D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors. |
