　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　A

　　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 Father­Daughter 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 16­year­old girl，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 it never had to end.

　　I love you，Dad.

　　Love，

　　Jenny

　　1．How did Jenny probably feel on the night she was sent home by the police?

　　A．Disappointed.

　　B．Nervous.

　　C．Guilty.

　　D．Frightened.

　　2．Why did Jenny feel strange when she saw her father last week?

　　A．She seldom saw him driving that huge car.

　　B．She had never realized his being old and weak.

　　C．She didn’t expect to meet with him there.

　　D．She had never seen him driving so slowly before.

　　3．Jenny wrote his father this letter to

　　.

　　A．tell him about their conflicts

　　B

　　Just finishing loading his car，my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen.“I guess filling my thermos(保温瓶) is all I have left to do，and then I’m off.” Down the drain went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.

　　With a nostalgic(怀旧的) look on his face，he softly said, “Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom.”The tone in his voice was so tender as he spoke of my mother，who is sadly no longer with us.

　　“Oh，honey，I know she’s watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face，”I responded，tears in my eyes.

　　One morning years ago when we were leaving，mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos.Mom then casually said，“Jerry，if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while，your coffee would stay hot for longer then.” With her simple suggestion，his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense，well，of course it would!

　　He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water.Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee.Mom smiled as Jerry did so.

　　Words of wisdom from a loving mother­in­law made an impact that will never be forgotten.She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son­in­law.

　　The lasting memories don’t necessarily come from major moments in life.Memories are often made during those small，ordinary moments.Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones.

　　4．Which word best describes the author’s feeling in Paragraph 3?

　　A．Confused.

　　B．Concerned.

　　C．Touched.

　　D．Interested.

　　5．The advice the mother gave Jerry was to

　　.

　　A．fill the thermos with a little coffee first

　　B．warm the thermos up before filling it with coffee

　　C．fill the thermos with coffee before with warm water

　　D．think of her whenever filling the thermos with coffee

　　6．The underlined part “don’t necessarily” is similar in meaning to “

　　”．

　　A．possibly but uncertainly

　　B．without any doubt

　　C．certainly and absolutely

　　D．out of the question

　　7．The message that the story intends to convey is

　　.

　　A．that lasting memories come from small things

　　B．how valuable a mother’s advice is to her children

　　C．what a wise woman the mother is to her son­in­law

　　D．why we should respect our parents and listen to them

　　Ⅱ.七选五
