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 ( 档位) 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

试题分析:本文是一封女儿在父亲节之际写给八十四岁老父亲的一封感人至深的信,在信中作者回忆了父亲对自己叛逆时期所表现出的宽容,讲述了父女关系的逐步改善,也表达了女儿对父亲的感激之情,让读者也感受到了“父爱如山”这句话的含义。
小题1:C推理判断题。A失望的;B紧张的;C内疚的;D害怕的。从文章第四段while you were so tolerant about it, Dad, and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life.可知作者因为父亲对她的宽容而内心愧疚,答案选C。
小题2:D细节理解题。根据文章第三段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和父亲曾经有段时期因为代沟而不能很好的了解彼此,故答案选D.
小题3:B细节理解题.从文章第六段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.可知作者一时没有认出父亲来是因为她没有意识到父亲竟然如此衰老,所以内心涌出一种与往日不同的情感,答案选B。
小题4:C推理判断题。文章开头介绍了这封信的写作时间是在父亲节,当作者挑选父亲节贺卡时内心的感受: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达了对父爱的感激之情,由此判断C选项正确。

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 (机组资源管理),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”.
小题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.
小题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
小题3:In the last paragraph “landing 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
小题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

She sobbed and thanked me with a hug. I just told her to       .
Then after I got on the bus that’s       the miracle of spreading       happened. I stepped up to pay the       and the bus driver said, “Mam, I saw what you just did and your fare is       me, even though technically we aren’t supposed to let you get on the bus without shoes.” he said with a wink.

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. I wasn't        .Somebody had thought        of me to bring me a gift. Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my        .

So I        a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿)at the Christmas party. For every child,we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys,clothes,and school supplies,       with a child's name. We wanted all of them to know they were        .Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts,I        them that they couldn't open their presents        every child had come forward. Finally the        they had been waiting for came as I called out,“One,two,three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages,their faces beamed and their bright smiles       up the room. The        in the room was obvious,and   wasn't just about toys. 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 (蹒跚) 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 (伪装) as dogs.
小题1:How was the dog when found?
A.Too weak to walk.B.Thin and worn out.
C.Unable to eat food.D.Homeless but gentle.
小题2: We can infer from Paragraph 2 that         .
A.the dog didn’t go with the writer
B.the writer had his own pet dog
C.Julie bought some food for the dog
D.the dog didn’t eat any of the food
小题3:The underlined part “our problem” in the passage refers to the fact that         .
A.the writer didn’t want to take Julie’s advice
B.an old black dog appeared in front of them
C.Julie disagreed with the writer’s travel on business
D.the couple had some trouble with their marriage
