Question

【題目】Hearing what I said， my dad laughed kindly. I continued， “I owe your thanks， and I hope you realize how much you did for me as my dad.”

I could almost hear him smiling one the other end. I knew he was touched and felt a little shy. His voice sounded shaky.

“Well， we got you educated，” he said， laughing generously.

“You did more than that，” I said， “You did well.”

“You like your house now， and your life?” he asked quietly.

“Yeah， Dad， I’m happy. You don’t have to worry—things are going great for us.”

I told him I loved him and he told me he loved me and I hung up the phone. As I got ready for bed， I thought about what an amazing conversation we had.

Ten hours later， my mother called， waking me up. I could hardly understand what she was trying to say.

“Your father’s dead!” she cried. “I found him lying on the dinning room floor.”

Suddenly I was standing straight up beside my bed， holding the phone and sobbing .

I was a thousand miles away. All I could think about was how many hours， minutes and seconds it would take me to jump on a plane and get there. I thought about my mother sitting there alone with my father， and I couldn’t move fast enough.

The flight was long and painful. I had planned on going home to see my dad and mom in another month， and I cried aloud， thinking I was too late. Then I suddenly realized the incredible miracle of it all: I hadn’t been late at all. Actually， everything had been right on time.

試題分析：這篇文章講的是作者通過和父親通電話表達了對父親的感激之情，然而父親的不幸離世又給作者帶來了無限的悲痛。

【1】A推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中信息作者的媽媽在他們通話10小時后告訴作者其父親去世的消息，因為作者的媽媽發(fā)現(xiàn)他父親躺在餐廳的地板上，所以可以推斷是打完電話不久作者的父親去世，故選A。

【2】A推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中信息可以推斷出作者和父親在一次很愉快的通話后作者的父親去世，當時作者的父親應(yīng)該是很高興，所以選A。

【3】C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中信息 I was a thousand miles away.可知作者住在1000里地之外，故選C。

【4】A細節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)文中作者對其父親的評價“You did more than that，” I said， “You did well.”可知作者認為其父親做的非常好，故選A。
