Question

 “BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回聲)．It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side．

We were both in great anger．“Never set foot in this house again!” stormed Father．With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street．

The street lights were shining rather desolately(凄涼的)．I wandered aimlessly．

A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and harmonious．

But now… I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in our ways of thinking．He always imposes his opinions and codes of behavior on me．Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．

I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company．When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on．

In fact, it was nothing．Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．I can’t stand his outrageous(蠻橫的) words: “ I can throw you away, let alone these old papers．”

All the lights were off except father’s．

Dad was always like this．Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself．After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret．After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers．

This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．

The light was still on．“Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last, I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love – is second to none．

試題分析：文章大意：我與父親之間總是存在分歧，爭執(zhí)，終于忍不住離家出走。但看到一位中年男子抱著孩子時觸動了我的內心，不知不覺又走回到了樓下，樓上所有的燈都熄滅了，只有父親屋里的燈依然亮著……

1.B 細節(jié)題。排序，根據各內容發(fā)生的時間先后很容易排出順序，選B。

2.C 細節(jié)題。 根據文章句子A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and harmonious．所以C正確。

3.D 推斷題。根據He always imposes his opinions and codes of behavior on me．Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it．和After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret．可以推知父親已經習慣了朝著我大吼大叫，因此選D。

4.A 推斷題。根據句子After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers．和As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love – is second to none．可以推斷出父親其實是很愛我的，只是不知道如何表達。所以答案選擇A。
