题目内容
7.Raised in a fatherless home,my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children.His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college.I had to ride the bus whenever I came home.Though the bus stopped about two miles from home,Dad never met me,even in sever weather.If I grumbled,he'd say in his loudest father-voice,"That's what your legs are for!"The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads.I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety.But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.
It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs.I longed for home.When the bus reached the stop,I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
A row of hedge(树篱)edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house.Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey,I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home.On that particular evening,the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge,moving toward the house.Upon closer observation,I realized it was the top of my father's head.Then I knew,each time I'd come home,he had stood behind the hedge,watching,until he knew I had arrived safely.I swallowed hard against the tears.He did care,after all.
On later visits,that spot of gray became my watchtower.I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery.Upon reaching home,I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair."So!My son,it's you!"he'd say,his face lengthening into pretended surprise.
I replied,"Yes,Dad,it's me.I'm home."

分析 文章大意:本文讲的是作者的父亲是一名无父的孩子,以前他从来不关心我们这些孩子,直到有一天作者发现他的父亲一直在一旁暗中保护他,他从车站到家里的那一段路一直是父亲陪伴着,而父亲从来没有向作者透漏过这个秘密.
解答 21.D 考查猜测词义.根据上一句话句意"即使在恶劣的天气,我也要走两英里的路从车站到家,爸爸从来不会去接我"以及选项的意思可知,作者很不情愿这样做,因此答案选D.
22.C 细节理解题.根据第二段的I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety.But that feeling was canceled one spring evening可知C选项意思与本句话相符.
