20.Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson,Arizona.He moved there a few years ago,and I couldn't wait to see his new house and meet his friends.
     My earliest memories of my father are a tall,handsome,successful man devoted to his work and his family,but uncomfortable with his children.As a child I loved him.He seemed unhappy with me if I didn't get A's in my exams and unhappy with my friends if their fathers were not as"successful"as he was.Whenever I went out with him on weekends,I used to try hard to think out things to say,feeling on guard.
     On the first day of my visit,we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe.We walked along that afternoon,did some shopping,ate on the street table,and laughed over my son's funny facial expressions.Gone was my father's critical(挑剔的) air and strict rules.Who was this friendly and interesting person now?What had made him so critical before?
     The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood.Although our times together became easier over the years,I never felt closer to him at that moment.After so many years,I'm at last seeing another side of my father.And I'm happy to be with my new friend.My dad,in his new home in Arizona,is back to me from where he was.

分析 文章講述作者過去一直以為爸爸是個嚴(yán)厲、苛刻的人,和他相處時,總是感到懼怕和緊張,但是在到了Tucson,和爸爸接觸之后才看到爸爸友善的一面.

解答 31.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段中的"He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A?s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as?successful?as he was."可知,作者小時候懷恨爸爸是因為爸爸對她要求很高.故選C.
32.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段中"Whenever I went out with him on weekends,I used to struggle to think up things to say,feeling on guard."可知每次和父親一起外出度周末,她都非常緊張.故選D.
33.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第三段和第四段的描述可知,作者的爸爸其實也很溫和、友善.從第三段結(jié)尾的幾個反問句可以知道.第四段中作者感到和爸爸成了朋友.故選B.
34.B 推理判斷題.文中的new friend指的是作者的爸爸.作者以前一直以為爸爸是個嚴(yán)厲、苛刻的人,和他相處時,總是感到懼怕和緊張,但是在到了Tucson,和爸爸接觸之后才看到爸爸友善的一面,所以作者感到她有了一個新朋友,故選B.

點評 本文是一篇記敘文文章.做題時要在理解好文意的基礎(chǔ)上,與題目有機的結(jié)合,從文章中找到相關(guān)細(xì)節(jié)性的句子與選項細(xì)細(xì)比對,進行選擇或推理判斷,選出符合文章內(nèi)容的正確選項.做題注意靈活,有時可采用排除法或直選法確定出最終答案.

learn a foreign language like English.We all know that it is difficult to learn everything in the classroom,for example,the ways English people are speaking and writing today.Reading helps us.
"Reading makes a full man (Bacon,1957).Books,magazines,newspapers and other kinds of reading materials can help us to know more about the outside world and perfect us.Therefore,it is necessary for us to spend time reading every day.

12.Most people think zoos are safe for animals,where struggles such as difficulty in finding food and avoiding natural enemies don't exist.Without such problems,animals in zoos should live to an old age.But that may not be true for the largest land animals on earth.Scientists have known that elephants in zoos often suffer from poor health.They develop diseases and behaviour changes.Sometimes,they even become unable to have babies.
   To learn more about how elephants are affected,a team of international scientists compared the life spans of elephants born in zoos with those living outdoors in their native lands.Zoos keep detailed records of all the animals,such as birth dates,illnesses,weight and death.These records made it possible for the researchers to analyse 40years of data on 800African and Asian elephants in zoos across Europe.The team found that female African elephants born in zoos lived an average of 16.9years while those in the wild lived an average of 56years.Scientists don't yet know why wild elephants seem to be so much better than their zooraised elephants.Georgia Mason,a biologist who led the study,thinks stress and obesity(肥胖) may be to blame.Zoo elephants don't get the same kind of exercise they would in the wild,and most are fat.
   Another finding from the study showed that Asian elephants born in zoos were more likely to die early than Asian elephants caught in the wild and brought to zoos.Mason suggests stress in the mothers in zoos might cause them to have babies that are less likely to survive.

29.Most people think that animals in the zoosA.
A.live longer than those in the wild
B.often struggle with each other
C.will often fight with their enemies
D.have difficulty in finding food
30.The scientists carried out a research so that they could knowD.
A.how long the elephants live
B.how the elephants can be fed
C.how the elephants should be kept
D.how the elephants are affected
31.In order to let the elephants in the zoos live longer,people shouldA.
A.get them to exercise as in the wild
B.give them a good diet
C.try to keep as quiet as possible
D.keep their living place clean.
