Question

My dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement. But we knew he loved us. He just had his own way of showing it.

When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers(野營者)at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived. Each family had their own campsite with water and electric, and you basically parked your camper there from May to October. Most “seasonals” visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional week-long stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys.

We kids paired up(結對)with our little boyfriends or girlfriends, and we’d hold hands as we walked around the campground. We’d play ping-pong, have some snacks, and sing songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You’d see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you’re a teen—a three-week relationship is a really long time.

So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common. They’d all received the Evil Eye.

The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me. It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser(激光)beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys’ brains.

“You will not put your hands on my daughter. You will not kiss my daughter. You will not even whisper sweet things into my daughter’s ear. ”

I remember one night in particular walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick “See you later. ”

Yes, that’s the Evil Eye: best way ever to keep wandering teen boys’ hands away from your daughter.

Answer 1

1.D

2.A

3.B

4.C

【解析】深沉的父愛不必用言語表達, 那令人望而生畏的眼神詮釋著父親對女兒的摯愛。

1.選D。推理判斷題。結合文章最后三段的內容可推知, 父親的眼神對女兒有保護作用。

2.2】選A。詞義猜測題。下一句提到作者父親的目光是在警告男孩, 由此可推測其含義是“給……招惹麻煩”。

3.3】選B。細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段最后兩句的內容可知他們當時結交了很多朋友, 故B項正確。由第二段第三句可知他們并不是每周末都去野營, 故A項錯誤; 由第三段第三、四句話可知他們經常更換朋友, 故C項錯誤; 由倒數(shù)第二段中的“dropped my hand like a hot potato”可知那個男孩兒害怕the Evil Eye, 故D項錯誤。

4.4】選C。推理判斷題。根據第二段開頭部分的時間狀語When I was a teen可知本文是作者對過去的回憶, 再結合最后一段推知作者現(xiàn)在已經是成年人, 已經開始理解父親的愛。再由第六段的內容可知作者當時是一個小女孩, 故選C項。
