Question

C
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 hobbies but just take care of his family.
For 22 years, since I left home for college, my father called me every Sunday at 9:00am. He was interested in my life--how my family was doing. The calls even came when he and my mother in Australia, England or Florida.
Nine years ago when I bought my first house, my father, 67 years old, spent eight hours 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, 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(要洗的衣服) to do, and the house to clean. The morning on Sunday, January 16, 1996, my father telephoned me as usual, this time he had seemed to have forgotten something we had discussed the week before .I had to get to church, and I cut the conversation short.
The call came at 4:40 a.m. That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida. I got on a plane immediately, and I vowed (發(fā)誓)that when I arrived, I would make up for the lost time, and have a nice long talk with him and really get to know him. I arrived in Florida at 1:00 a.m. but my father had passed away at 9:12 p.m. 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 myself. As a father, he never asked me for anything but my time. Now he has all my attention, every single day.

【答案】
（1）D
（2）B
（3）B
（4）C
【解析】本文作者給我們講述了她的父親，他是一個很顧家的人，眼里只有他的家人。作者在短文中講述了淑華中的幾件事情。從這些事情中我們可以看到，作者因為太忙，跟父親沒有太多的交流，當作者想要彌補時，父親卻離開了她。
（1）D細節(jié)理解題。題意：當父親給她粉刷第一間房屋時，女兒怎樣？A. liked to paint houses喜歡粉刷房屋；B. had no friends around him身邊沒有朋友；C. was not healthy in his youth年輕時不健康；D. thought of his family as his all把家看成了他的一切。根據(jù)短文第一段中可知，作者父親從來沒有下班回家晚過，也從來沒有生過病，他是一個很顧家的人，眼里只有他的家人。由此可知選D。
（2）B 細節(jié)理解題。題意：當父親給她粉刷第一間房屋時，女兒怎樣？A. could only afford a glass of iced tea只買得起一杯冰茶；B. was too busy to talk to her father 太忙了而不能和父親說話； C. could do nothing but hold a paintbrush 除了拿著刷子什么也做不了；D. spent eight hours a day working with his father 花了八小時和父親一起勞動。根據(jù)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，作者買了新房刷漆的時候，她很忙，沒有時間幫她的父親刷房子，也沒有時間和父親聊天。故選B。
（3）B 詞義猜測題。題意：短文中有下劃線的短語“get to know him”最有可能的意思是什么？A. get him to know her使他認識她；B. know more about him 更多地了解他；C. get him to know himself讓他了解自己；D. make him well-known 使他出名。根據(jù)劃線短語所在的句子以及上下文的意思可知I vowed（發(fā)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.，當作者的父親被送到醫(yī)院的時候，作者趕緊坐飛機回家，她發(fā)誓這一次要把過去失去的時間補回來，好好的跟父親聊一聊，更多的去了解父親。因此這里的get to know 并不是認識父親的意思，而是過去作者都沒有時間和父親聊天，對父親她了解的很少。因此選B。
（4）C 主旨大意題。題意：短文最好的標題是什么？A. Painting Houses粉刷房屋；B. Daughter's Family女兒的家；C. Father and I父親和我；D. Father's phone calls父親的電話。本文作者通過講述了生活中的幾件事情，講述的是她和她的父親。故選C。
