19．Nine years ago，after Leo had died，people said to me．"I never knew he was your stepfather．"You see，I never called him that．At first，he was no one special in my life．Then he became my friend．In time，I felt he was also my father．
Leo married my mother when I was eleven．Two years later we moved into a house in a new suburban development，where we put down roots．At first our lawn was just a mud with wild grass，but Leo saw bright possibilities．"We'll plant trees there to give us shade as well as some flowers，"he said．And just these little touches made our house different from all the others．More important，a real family was forming．Leo was becoming a full-time parent，and I was learning what it meant to have a father．
Weekday mornings when the weather was bad，Leo often drove me to school．Having a father drop you off may have been something my classmates took for granted，but I always thought it was wonderful．Saturday mornings，we went to the hardware （計算機硬件） shop，then stepped into the five-and-ten，buying a sports magazine or something else．Some people might think that doing shopping together is nothing special，but I，who had ever before spent my childhood watching other families do their everyday activities，experienced them now with extreme delight．Looking back，I realized that Leo gave me what I needed most-the experience of doing ordinary things together as a family．
Soon after we moved to the suburbs，one of our new neighbors introduced herself to me．She had already met my mother and Leo．"You know，"she said，"you look just like your father．"I knew she was just making a conversation--but even so…"Thank you"，I said．Why tell her anything different？

解答 52-55．ACDB
52題答案：A考查語篇概括，作者主要是在回憶讓自己值得驕傲的繼父Leo，故作者寫作的目的是為了表露他擁有一位好繼父的自豪之情．因此本題答案為A選項．
53題答案：C考查詞義猜測，根據(jù)前面的Two years later we moved into a house in a new suburban development．（兩年后我們搬進了一個新的郊區(qū)發(fā)展地帶的房子里）可知那兒就是我們"安頓"下來的地方，故本題答案為C選項．
54題答案：D考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的Some people might think that doing shopping together is nothing special，but I，who had ever before spent my childhood watching other families do their everyday activities，experienced them now with extreme delight．有的人或許會覺得一起購物沒什么特別，但是對于在童年時曾經(jīng)看著別人家一起做日�；顒拥奈叶裕w驗它們時我極其開心．可知本題答案為D選項．
55題答案：B考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)前面的She had already met my mother and Leo．"You know，"she said，"you look just like your father．"I knew she was just making a conversation--but even so…"Thank you"她已經(jīng)見過了我的媽媽和繼父Leo，她說我很像我的父親（繼父）．我知道她只是在聊天，但是還是說了"謝謝"．可知作者明明知道鄰居為了談話而亂說自己像他的繼父，但是他卻不想把真相告訴她（一個可以睜著眼睛說瞎話的人，肯定也是一個喜歡在背后說長道短的人；作者如果把真相告訴她，那鄰居就會到處說是非）．故本題答案為B選項．
點評 本文是一篇人物故事類閱讀，題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對 性找出相關語句進行仔細分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案．
