Question

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s 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 struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

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

试题分析：本文叙述了作者在小的时候由于父亲的严厉苛刻，心里记恨父亲，父亲在搬了新家几年后作者去看望父亲，发现他与以前大不一样了，变得和蔼可亲，不再让作者感到紧张了，最后两个人成了好朋友。

1.这是细节理解题。根据He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. 可知作者小时候怀恨爸爸是因为对她很严厉、很苛刻，故选D。

2.这是推理判断题。根据Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.可知每次和父亲一起出去度周末，她都非常紧张，故选A。

3.这是推理判断题。根据文中第三段和第四段的描述可知，作者的父亲其实是温和友善的，后来作者感到和父亲成了朋友，故选C。

4.这是细节理解题。作者感到和父亲成了新朋友，故选B。
