A

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 was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. 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. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up 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 café. 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 person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day my 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 in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

1.Why did the author feel bitter about her father when she was a young adult?

A.He was silent most of the time.

B.He was too proud of himself.

C.He did not love his children.

D.He expected too much of her.

2.When the author went out with her father on weekends, she would feel ______.

A.nervous

B.sorry

C.tired

D.safe

3.What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?

A.More critical.

B.More talkative.

C.Gentle and friendly.

D.Strict and hard-working.

4.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to ______.

A. the author’s son                                      B. the author’s father

B. the friend of the author’s father                D. the café owner

 

【答案】

1.D

2.A

3.C

4.B

【解析】

1.從第二段可知:我在學(xué)習(xí)中得不到A,他不高興,與父親不如他成功的男孩子交往,他也不高興。由此可見:他對(duì)我的期望過高。

2.根據(jù)第二段最后一句可知:無論周末什么時(shí)候和他出去,我得努力想出些東西來說,感覺到受到監(jiān)視一樣。故應(yīng)是感到緊張。

3.從第三段中可以看出:父親與我一起散步,購物,吃飯,笑談我兒子的可笑的面部表情,挑剔的眼淚和嚴(yán)厲的規(guī)則都不復(fù)存在;在第四段中,又進(jìn)一步談到我與父親相處變得容易了。故C項(xiàng)正確。

4.父親與以往判若兩人,變得不再嚴(yán)厲,是出乎意料之外的,故變成了我的新朋友。
