1.It was Saturday.As always,it was a busy one,for"Six days shall you labor and all your work"was taken seriously back then.Outside,F(xiàn)ather and Mr.Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood.Inside their own houses,Mother and Mrs.Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.
Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites.Now,even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets,they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(線).It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.
My mother looked at the sitting room,its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping.Again she cast a look toward the window."Come on,girls!Let's take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute."
On the way we met Mrs.Patric,laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong,together with her girls.
There never was such a day for flying kites!We played all our fresh string into the boys'kites and they went up higher and higher.We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites.Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back,watching it dancing up and down in the wind,and finally bringing it down to earth,just for the joy of sending it up again.
Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us.Our mothers took their turn,laughing like schoolgirls.I think we were all beside ourselves.Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies."Perhaps it's like this in the kingdom of heaven,"I thought confusedly.
It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the housed.I suppose we had some sort of supper.I suppose there must have been surface tidying-up,for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough.The strange thing was,we didn't mention that day afterward.I felt a little embarrassed.Surely none of the others had been as excited as I.I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep"the things that cannot be and yet they are."
The years went on,then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment,trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to"go park,see duck."
"I can't go!"I said."I have this and this to do,and when I'm through I'll be too tired to walk that far."
My mother,who was visiting us,looked up from the peas she was shelling."It's a wonderful day,"she offered,"really warm,yet there's a fine breeze.Do you remember that day we flew kites?"
I stopped in my dash between stove and sink.The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories."Come on,"I told my little girl."You're right,it's too good a day to miss."
Another decade passed.We were in the aftermath(余波) of a great war.All evening we had been asking our returned soldier,the youngest Patrick Boy,about his experiences as a prisoner of war.He had talked freely,but now for a long time he had been silent.What was he thinking of---what dark and horrible things?
"Say!"A smile sipped out from his lips."Do you remember---no,of course you wouldn't.It probably didn't make the impression on you as it did on me."
I hardly dared speak."Remember what?"
"I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp (戰(zhàn)俘營(yíng)),when things weren't too good.Do you remember the day we flew the kites?"

分析 這是一篇溫馨的回憶記敘文.本文通過(guò)回顧兒時(shí)放風(fēng)箏的經(jīng)歷,講述了童年的美好回憶對(duì)成年生活的深刻影響.我在小時(shí)候一次放風(fēng)箏的經(jīng)歷中體驗(yàn)到了快樂(lè),雖然是春季大掃除忙碌的時(shí)候,但是幾個(gè)男生放風(fēng)箏的動(dòng)作引起了男人和婦女們的注意,他們紛紛停止手中的活,來(lái)享受這片刻的自由和寧?kù)o.當(dāng)我回到家,卻以為大家都忘記了這次放風(fēng)箏的美好回憶而感到尷尬.多年之后我發(fā)現(xiàn),其實(shí)這么美好的回憶不僅我記住了,別人也記住了這么美好的回憶.
解答 56.答案C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.第一段的文章開(kāi)頭說(shuō):"It was Saturday.As always,it was a busy one,for‘Six days shall you labor and do all your work'. Mother and Mrs.Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning."星期六是像往常一樣忙碌的一天,母親和帕特里克太太在從事春季大掃除.第二段又說(shuō)母親招呼女孩們一起看男生放風(fēng)箏,而帕特里克太太也去了.所以她為在最忙的時(shí)候沒(méi)做大掃除而內(nèi)疚,故答案選C.
57.答案B.推理判斷題.解答此題聯(lián)系后文"parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies"可以看出大人小孩放風(fēng)箏的時(shí)候都很high,幾近瘋狂.故答案選B.
58.答案D.推理判斷題.如果只看完第六段就做此題的話,很容易誤選C,因?yàn)榇硕沃写笕诵『⑼娴煤墀偅芏鄬W(xué)生很容易先入為主,想當(dāng)然地表達(dá)"父母應(yīng)該多陪孩子"的思想.但是我們看第七段,"The strange thing was,we didn't mention that day afterward I felt a little embarrassed.Surely none of the of the others had been as excited as I."作者認(rèn)為,只有他一個(gè)人還記得當(dāng)初那個(gè)放風(fēng)箏的美好時(shí)刻,而其他人都忘記了,所以答案選D.
59.答案B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文意可知:當(dāng)我的三歲的小女孩跟我說(shuō)去公園看鴨子的時(shí)候,我說(shuō)我有很多事情要做而拒絕了.但是母親的一句話Do you remember that day we flew kites?"讓我打開(kāi)了記憶的匣子,想起了那個(gè)放風(fēng)箏的時(shí)候."Come on,"I told my little girl."You're right,it's too good a day to miss."然后跟我的女孩說(shuō):"你說(shuō)的對(duì)極了,這是一個(gè)值得紀(jì)念的日子.故最后我答應(yīng)我的女兒去公園是因?yàn)槲蚁肫鹆宋曳棚L(fēng)箏的那個(gè)時(shí)光.故答案選B.
60.答案A.推理判斷題.作者覺(jué)得只有自己還封存著那個(gè)美好的回憶,自己是孤單的,但是這個(gè)從戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)回來(lái)的男孩,卻也是靠著那個(gè)美好的回憶在戰(zhàn)俘營(yíng)中生存了下來(lái),所以答案選A---作者不是一個(gè)人在珍惜那段記憶.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇故事類(lèi)閱讀.本文通過(guò)回顧兒時(shí)放風(fēng)箏的經(jīng)歷,講述了童年的美好回憶對(duì)成年生活的深刻影響.?dāng)⑹鲆患卤赜衅淠康,或闡明某一觀點(diǎn),或贊美某種品德,或抨擊某種陋習(xí),這就要求我們?cè)陂喿x時(shí),通過(guò)對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的理解,把握作者的態(tài)度. 要有章有據(jù)地進(jìn)行解題判斷,切忌脫離文章,架空分析,一定讓分析在文章中有依據(jù).
