　　(2016·太原市高三年级模拟考试一)As a young man，Al was a skilled artist，a potter (陶艺工人) with a wife and two fine sons.One night，his elder son developed a severe stomachache.Thinking it was only some common intestinal(肠道) disorder，neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously.But the boy died suddenly that night.

　　Knowing the death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation，he always felt he was guilty.To make matters worse，his wife left him a short time later，leaving him alone with his six­year­old younger son.The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could stand，and he turned to alcohol for help.In time Al became an alcoholic.

　　As the alcoholism progressed，Al began to lose everything he possessed—his land，house etc.Finally Al died alone in a small bar.Hearing of Al’s death，I thought，“What a totally wasted life！What a complete failure！”

　　As time went by，I began to revalue my earlier rough judgement.I knew Al’s now adult son，Ernie.He is one of the kindest，most caring and most loving men I have ever known.I saw the love between Ernie and his children，thinking that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.

　　I hadn’t heard Ernie talked much about his father.One day，I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person.Ernie said quietly，“As a child until I left home at 18，Al came into my room every night，gave me a kiss and said，‘I love you，son.’”

　　Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure.He had not left any material possessions behind.But he had been a kind loving father，and left behind his best love.

　　【文章大意】　本文是一篇记叙文。Al由于疏忽大意，失去了心爱的大儿子。妻子的离弃让他借酒消愁，但他每晚都会给小儿子一个吻，并对他说“儿子，我爱你”，小儿子最终成长为一个充满爱心的人，字里行间都表达了父亲对儿子真挚的爱。

　　5．Why did Al’s elder son die?

　　A．He drank too much alcohol.

　　B．He suffered from intestinal disorder.

　　C．He couldn’t bear the hurt and pain.

　　D．His parents didn’t take his illness seriously.

　　解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously.But the boy died suddenly that night.”可知，Al和妻子认为儿子只是普通的肠道疾病，所以就没有把这当回事，但儿子却突然去世了。

　　6．Which one of the following was the cause of Al’s addiction to alcohol?

　　A．His wife’s complaints.

　　B．The feeling of guilty.

　　C．His elder son’s illness.

　　D．Ernie’s kindness.

　　解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第二段可知，儿子的去世让Al非常内疚，后来妻子也离开了他。负罪感和伤痛让他难以忍受，所以他借酒消愁。

　　7．What can you learn from the passage?

　　A．The writer was a relative of Al’s.

　　B．The writer often went to help Al.

　　C．The writer misunderstood Al at first.

　　D．The writer thought badly of Al.

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第三段中的“What a totally wasted life！What a complete failure！”可知，“我”认为Al的一生是失败的；根据第四、五、六段可知，Al把小儿子养育成了一个善良、充满爱心、关心他人的人，至此“我”才意识到自己原来的认识是错误的。

　　8．What is the best title of the story?

　　A．Love You，Son

　　B．A Failed Father

　　C．Trust You，Father

　　D．A Wasted Life

　　解析：选A。标题概括题。本文主要讲述了Al由于大儿子的去世以及妻子的离开而终日借酒消愁，但他每晚都会给小儿子一个吻，并对他说“儿子，我爱你”，使得小儿子最终成长为一个充满爱心的人，字里行间都表达了父亲对儿子真挚的爱。A项概括了文章的主旨，适合作标题。
