Question

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new house in Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I wanted very much to see his new place and meet his friends.

In my earliest memories my father was a tall, handsome and successful man. He loved his work and family, but was uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I was afraid of him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s in my study 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 try hard to think up things to say to protect myself.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny talks. My father’s critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules were gone. He seemed so friendly and interesting to be with us.

The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me many 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 happy with my new friend. My dad, in this new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文介绍了作者和她最小的儿子上周去Arizona看望她的父亲。作者回忆了从前的父亲，对她是多么的严格。作为孩子她爱父亲，作为学生或年轻的成年人，她怕父亲。来到父亲住处之后，通过两天的交往，她理解了父亲，最后看到了父亲的另一面，有了父亲这样的“新朋友”很高兴。

1.straight A’s in my study and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. ”可知如果我在学习中不获得全A或者假如我男朋友的父亲不像他一样成功，他好像就不高兴，说明父亲对作者的期望值太高，故选B。

2.straight A’s in my study”的句意：如果我在学习中不获得全A，他好像就不高兴。A代表优秀，故选A。

3.

4.

5.my new friend.”可知许多年之后，作者终于看到了父亲的另一面，而且对自己的新朋友感到满意，此处新朋友指作者的父亲，故选B。
