Question

On my way home I knocked into a stranger as he passed by. “Oh. I'm terribly sorry,” I said. “That’s all right. Please excuse me too; I wasn't even 26____ you. I wish I didn’t hurt you.”

We were very 27   . We said good-bye and went on our way.

But at home we often  28 our loved ones in a different way.

Later that day, while I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very quietly. When I turned, I nearly  29 her down. “Move out of the way.” I shouted. She walked away, tears (眼淚) in her eyes.

While I lay awake in bed, I realized how  30  I’d spoken. So I decided to get up to say sorry to my daughter. On the way to her bedroom, to my surprise, I found some  31 by the door of the kitchen. At that time my tears began to fall. I quietly went and got down on my knees by her  32 . She woke up and put her arms around my neck when I kissed her. Then I asked, “Did you pick these flowers for me?”

She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I picked them  33 they're pretty like you. I knew you’d like them. I stood quietly in order to give you a surprise.” “Oh dear, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn’t have shouted at you.”

“ That’s okay. Mom. I  34  you anyway.”

I suddenly realized what a clever way it is to explain the word   35   like this: (F) ather (A) nd (M) other, (I) (L) ove (Y) ou!

Answer 1

【主旨大意】本文通過“我”在路上撞到一個陌生人而相互道歉的事，引申到“我”在家撞到女兒，卻態(tài)度粗魯而感到內(nèi)疚去跟女兒道歉的故事，從而引出對家的含義不同的詮釋。

26. D  根據(jù)句意可知，應(yīng)該是注意到某人，故答案為D。

27. C  根據(jù)前面可以判斷相互道歉，應(yīng)該是“我們”之間有禮貌。

28. B  應(yīng)該是以不同的方式對待我們家里愛的人。

29. C  句意：當(dāng)我轉(zhuǎn)身的時候，幾乎撞到了她。故選C。

30. B  結(jié)合上文可知，“我”意識到我的態(tài)度很粗魯。

31. C  根據(jù)下文“Did you pick these flowers for me?”可知應(yīng)該選C。

32. A  從后句中“She woke up”可知，“女兒”已經(jīng)睡覺了，故答案為A。

33. D  由句意可以推知，前后句是因果關(guān)系，故答案為D。

34. A  從前句可以應(yīng)該是愛她的媽媽。

35. C  通過“(F) ather (A) nd (M) other, (I) (L) ove (Y) ou!”可知應(yīng)該選C。
