2."Dad,"I say one day …..take a trip.Why don't you fly and meet me?"
My father had just retired…..His job filled his day,his thought,his life.While he woke up and took a warm shower,I screamed under a freezing waterfall Peru.While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch,I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drfting aimlessly,nothing to show for my 33years but a passport full of funny stamps.He wants me to settle down,but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks.We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
"What is our first stop?"asks my father.
"What time is it?"
"Still don't have a watch?"
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore.As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite ,his mouth and eyes open slowly,like those of little boy.
"Unbelievable,"he says,"How was this done?"
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and I ask myself,Would I ever devote my life to anything?
No directions,…I always used to hear those words in my father's voice.Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we're at Yellowstone National Park,where we have a picnic.
"Did you ever travel with your dad?I ask.
"Only once,"he says."I never spoke much with my father.We loved each other---but never said it.Whatever he could give me,he gave.">
The kast sebtebce----it's probably the same thing I's say about my father.And what I'd want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park,my father says,"I've never seen water so blue."I have,in several places of the world,I can keep traveling,I realize---and maybe a regular job won't be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip,I call my father.
"The photos from the trip are wonderful,"he says."We have got to take another trip like that sometime."
I tell him I've learn decided to settle down,and I'm wearing a watch.

分析 本文講述了一直工作穩(wěn)定的父親在退休之后跟著四處旅游的我一起出去游玩,在這次旅游里,我對自己之前的生活方式產(chǎn)生了懷疑,決定定居下來,為一個目標而努力.而父親在這次旅游里認識到外面的世界很精彩,也改變了他自己的生活態(tài)度.
解答 46.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第三段第一句My father sees me drifting aimlessly,nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps.可知父親認為我的生活是沒有目標的,除了一個貼滿很多郵票的護照以外沒有說明可以展示的.說明父親對我的生活方式很不滿意.故選C.
47.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章We stare up and I ask myself,Would I ever devote my life to anything?和No directions,no goasl I always used to hear those words in my father's voice.Now I hear them in my own.可知之前父親說我的生活里沒有指導沒有目標,之前的我經(jīng)常聽父親這樣對我說,而現(xiàn)在我聽見了自己的聲音.說明我對之前以前的生活方式產(chǎn)生了懷疑.認為自己的漂泊并沒有個自己留下有價值的東西.說明作者從此要為自己設立一個生活的目標了.這在文章最后一句也有了呼應.故選D.
48.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)We loved each other---but never said it.Whatever he could give me,he gave.可知我的爺爺很愛父親,但是他不善于表達.The kast sebtebce----it's probably the same thing I's say about my father.And what I'd want my child to say about me.我在想我也想讓自己的孩子這樣認為自己:Whatever he could give me,he gave.也就是說我從父親的話里慢慢理解了父母之愛的意義.故選B.
49.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后2行he says."We have got to take another trip like that sometime.和I tell him I've learn decided to settle down,and I'm wearing a watch.可知父親詢問我什么時候開始另外一次旅行,說明父親的生活方式發(fā)生了改變.而我說我想定居下來,說明我不想再和以前一樣沒有目標地生活.說明我的想法也發(fā)生了變化.故選D
50.C 主旨大意題.本文講述了一直工作穩(wěn)定的父親在退休之后跟著四處旅游的我一起出去游玩,在這次旅游里,我對自己之前的生活方式產(chǎn)生了懷疑,決定定居下來,為一個目標而努力.而父親在這次旅游里認識到外面的世界很精彩,也改變了他自己的態(tài)度.所以C項A Journey with Dad符合文章的中心思想.故選C.
