“How did you do it, Dad ? How have you   21   not to take a drink for almost 20 years? ”It took me almost 20 years to have the  22  to even ask my father this very  23 question.
When Dad first 24  drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles  25  he got into a situation that, in the past, would have started him drinking again.For a few years we were  26  to bring it up for fear that the drinking would begin again.
“I had this little  27  that I would recite to myself  28  four to five times a day ” was Dad’s  29 to my 18-year-old unasked question.“The  30  were an instant relief and constant reminder to me that things were never so  31  that I could not handle them,”Dad said.And then he  32  the poem with me.The poem’s simple, yet profound (深奥的) words  33  became part of my daily routine as well.
About a month after this talk with my father,I  34  a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of affirmations (断言) with one affirmation listed for each  35  of the year.
I 36  opened the book to the page of my birthday to see what words of wisdom this book had in store for me. 37  of disbelief and appreciation rolled down my face.There,on my birthday ,was the  38  poem that had helped my  39 for all these years! It is called The Sereniry Prayer.
God,give me the Serenity(平静)to accept the things I cannot change,the Courage to  40  the things I can,and the Wisdom to know the difference.

解析【小题1】由下文可知父亲已经设法戒掉了酒,故应用manage,表示“成功做到……”。
【小题1】句意“我”花了近20年的时间才有勇气去问父亲这个问题。第二段最后解释说,“我”一直害怕勾起他再次饮酒的欲望,故不敢提及该问题。
【小题1】根据常识可知,该问题纯粹是私人问题。
【小题1】从本段最后一句“害怕他再次喝酒”可知,这里是在描述父亲最初戒酒时我们的反应。
【小题1】每次当他遇到一种可能会让他再次饮酒的场合时,全家人就如坐针毡。此处every time引导一个时间状语从句,意为“每次”。
【小题1】担心(父亲)再次开始饮酒,故数年来我们一直不敢提及这件事。bring it up提及这件事o
【小题1】本题可以从倒数第二段的倒数第二句中得到暗示。
【小题1】从下文可知,父亲喜爱这首诗,每天至少背诵四到五遍。
【小题1】根据文章第一段及空后内容可知,这是父亲对文章开头“我”提出的问题的回答。
【小题1】本题可以从本段最后一句话中得到暗示。
【小题1】考查形容词词义辨析。语境:这些话不断提醒我事情从来不会困难到无法处理。tough坚硬的,结实的,棘手的,难解的。A.陌生的,生疏的,奇异的,奇怪的;B.不同的;C.简单的。
【小题1】考查动词与介词的搭配。share sth with sb.与某人分享……。本题易误选read,但其后介词应用to,即read sth.to sb.。
【小题1】从下文可知,“我”对该诗一见倾心,颇受其影响,故这些话语立即成为“我”日常生活的一部分。
【小题1】由空格后的a gift in the mail及birthday可知,此处说“我”收到一份礼物。
【小题1】由第五段第一句中“我”翻到“我”生日所在的那一页可知,该书是每天都有一个断言的。
【小题1】由上一段最后一句和本空后的内容“…to see what words of wisdom this book had in store for me”可知。此处表示“我”急忙打开这本书。
【小题1】此处指眼泪从脸上滚落下来。sweat汗水,不符合语境。
【小题1】考查形容词辨析。“我”生日那一页上的断言正是曾经帮助父亲戒酒的那首诗。exact恰好的。correct正确的;impossible不可能的;original起初的。
【小题1】根据上文内容可知,正是这首诗多年来一直在帮助父亲。
【小题1】上帝,给我平静之心来接受不能改变之事,给我勇气去改变我所能改变之事,给我智慧以了解其差异。

When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was badly crippled (跛脚), and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare, I would be ashamed of the unwanted attention. If ever noticed or bothered, he never let on.

It was difficult to walk together—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was how he got to work. He went to work sick, and even in bad weather. He almost never missed a day, and would make it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of pride for him.

When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, even with help... Such times my sister or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn, N.Y., on a child’s sleigh to the subway entrance. Once there, he would try to grasp handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice free. In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building, and he would not have to go outside again until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.  

When I think of it now, I am surprised at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to suffer from shame and disability. And I am also surprised at how he did it—without bitterness or complaint.

He never talked about himself as an object of pity, not did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.

Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.

He has been away for many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about my troubles, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.

How did the man treat his father when he was young?

A. He helped his father happily.

B. He never helped his father.

C. He helped his father, but not very happily.

D. He only helped his father take a walk after supper.

As a disabled man, his father____.

A. didn’t work very hard

B. didn’t go to work from time to time

C. hated those who had good fortune

D. was happy and satisfied, and never lost hope

What does the underlined word “reluctance” mean in the article? It means ____.

A. anger                     B. sadness            C. happiness                D. unwillingness

How did the father get to work usually?

A. By subway.              B. By bus.            C. By wheelchair.         D. By bike.
