Dear Dad,
Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father's Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.
You'll soon be 84 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together. I haven't always been with you on Father's Day but I've always been with you in my heart.
You know, Dad, there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.
The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear ( 檔位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the '54 Chevy whether you liked it or not. The police officer who sent me home, after you reported the Chevy stolen, didn't have much tolerance for a stub­born 16 year old, while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.
Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked, and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left. Somewhere along the line, the generation gap disappeared. I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together, rather like a fine wine.
But the strangest thing happened last week. I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car. It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car. It was rather like a slap in the face delivered from out of nowhere. Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.
I guess what I'm trying to say, Dad, is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today. Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking. It's about loving someone more than words can say, and it's wishing that never had to end.
I love you, Dad.
Love,
Jenny

試題分析：本文是一封女兒在父親節(jié)之際寫給八十四歲老父親的一封感人至深的信，在信中作者回憶了父親對自己叛逆時期所表現(xiàn)出的寬容，講述了父女關(guān)系的逐步改善，也表達了女兒對父親的感激之情，讓讀者也感受到了“父愛如山”這句話的含義。
小題1:C推理判斷題。A失望的；B緊張的；C內(nèi)疚的；D害怕的。從文章第四段while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.可知作者因為父親對她的寬容而內(nèi)心愧疚，答案選C。
小題2:D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap. You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.可知Jenny和父親曾經(jīng)有段時期因為代溝而不能很好的了解彼此,故答案選D.
小題3:B細節(jié)理解題.從文章第六段It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and fragile behind the wheel of that huge car.可知作者一時沒有認出父親來是因為她沒有意識到父親竟然如此衰老，所以內(nèi)心涌出一種與往日不同的情感，答案選B。
小題4:C推理判斷題。文章開頭介紹了這封信的寫作時間是在父親節(jié)，當作者挑選父親節(jié)賀卡時內(nèi)心的感受：it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.而且在文章末段作者又表達了對父愛的感激之情，由此判斷C選項正確。

Doctors are known to be terrible pilots.They don’t listen because they already know it all.I was lucky：Ⅰ became a pilot in 1970，almost ten years before I graduated from medical school.I didn’t realize then，but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon.I loved flying.As I flew bigger，faster planes，and in worse weather，I learned about crew resource management (機組資源管理)，or CRM，a new idea to make flying safer.It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result，regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980.Not long after that，an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather.The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready.The attending doctor was flying；I was safety pilot.He was so busy because of the bad turn，he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down.He was a better pilot－and my boss － so it felt unusual to speak up.But I had to：Our lives were in danger.I put aside my uneasiness and said，“We need to put the landing gear down now！” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM，and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up.It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite，the doctor doesn’t overreact，which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again.So when I’m in the operating room，I ask for ideas and help from others.Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up.But I hope that if I continue to encourage them，someday someone will keep me from “landing_gear_up”．
小題1:What does the author say about doctors in general?
A．They like flying by themselves.
B．They are unwilling to take advice.
C．They pretend to be good pilots.
D．They are quick learners of CRM.
小題2:The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when________.
A．he saved the plane by speaking up
B．he was in charge of a flying task
C．his boss landed the plane too late
D．his boss operated on a patient
小題3:In the last paragraph “l(fā)anding gear up” probably means ________.
A．following flying requirements
B．overreacting to different opinions
C．listening to what fellow doctors say
D．making a mistake that may cost lives
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．CRM：A New Way to Make Flying Safe
B．Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor
C．The Making of a Good Pilot
D．A Pilot­Tumed Doctor

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be        Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought，“What would I say when the other kids asked what I'd        ？” Just when I started to        that there would not be a Christmas that year，three women        at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of        that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school.

It was a feeling —the feeling I knew         that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live, when we saw an old worn-out dog stumbling (蹣跚) painfully up the road. We stopped, bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar with a phone number. I called but no one answered.
The dog was painfully thin. So Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog. After Julie came back, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food. Eventually we got her home.
After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. She was very old and got lost that morning. So, Tara was safely returned home.
Here is the truth of the story:
Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I wasn’t hearing anything that made that sound likely.
I was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell down. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.
We did help it. And here I am writing the story in my own home, in my own family.
In the song “Love Is Not a Fight” Warren Barfield talks about marriage. At one point he sings, “And if we try to leave, may God send angels (天使) to guard the door.”
Sometimes angels come disguised (偽裝) as dogs.

A．Too weak to walk.B．Thin and worn out.
C．Unable to eat food.D．Homeless but gentle.
小題2: We can infer from Paragraph 2 that         .
A．the dog didn’t go with the writer

C．Julie bought some food for the dog
D．the dog didn’t eat any of the food

B．a(chǎn)n old black dog appeared in front of them
C．Julie disagreed with the writer’s travel on business
