Question

【題目】 When I was growing up, I was ashamed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled(跛的) and very short. And when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. If he was ever noticed or bothered, he never let on(流露).

It was difficult to coordinate our steps—his slow, mine impatient—and because of that, we didn't say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust(調(diào)整, 適應(yīng)) to you.”

He never talked about himself as an object of sympathy(同情), nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart", and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. I believe that is a proper standard by which we can judge people, even though I still don't know exactly what “a good heart" is.

Unable to engage in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way.

I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. When I played ball, he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that(確保) I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.” Those words were never said aloud.

He has been gone many years. I often wonder if he sensed my unwillingness during our walks. If so, I just want to tell him how sorry I was and how I regretted it.

Now I think of him when I complain about small affairs, when I am envious(羨慕的, 嫉妒的) of others’ good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart."

At such times, I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”

推理判斷題。根據(jù)“When I was growing up, I was ashamed to be seen with my father. He was severely crippled(跛的) and very short. And when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare.”句中談到了父親殘疾而且很矮，作者和父親走在一起時(shí)感到難為情，因此作者難為情的原因是不愿別人看到自己有一位丑陋的父親。選項(xiàng)C符合文意，故選C。

【2】

詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文中的句子“When I played ball, he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too.”句中談到了作者做什么，他的父親也跟著做什么。結(jié)合劃線詞前后句的意思，可推測(cè)全句的意思是：由于不能參加許多活動(dòng)，我父親仍然試圖以某種方式參與。結(jié)合所提供的詞，可知?jiǎng)澗�詞是“參與”的意思，與選項(xiàng)中的A同義。故選A。

【3】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中的句子“This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.”可知作者的父親十分認(rèn)可作者所做的事，由此推知他為作者感到自豪。故選A。

【4】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“Now I think of him when I complain about small affairs, when I am envious(羨慕的, 嫉妒的) of others’ good fortune, when I don't have a "good heart."”（談到作者以爸爸為榜樣）以及作者說的話“You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”（談到了要向爸爸學(xué)習(xí)）可知作者要按照爸爸的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，要做一個(gè)好人。故選A。
