I grew up in a community called Estepona. I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him into a 31 village called Mijas, on condition that I took the car in to be 32 at a nearby garage. I readily accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas, and 33 to pick him up at 4 pm, then dropped off the car at the 34 . With several hours to spare. I went to a theater. 35 , when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two hours late!

I knew Day would be angry if he 36 I’d been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth. When I 37 there I apologized for being late, and told him I’d 38 as quickly as I could, but that the car had needed some major repairs. I’ll never forget the 39 he gave me. “I’m disappointed you 40 you have to lie to me, Jason.” Dad looked at me again. “When you didn’t 41 . I called the garage to ask if there were any 42 , and they told me you hadn’t yet picked up the car. ” I felt 43 as I weakly told him the real reason. A 44 passed through Dad as he listened attentively. “I’m angry with 45 . I realize I’ve failed as a father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about 46 I’ve gone wrong all these years.” “But Day, it’s 18 miles!” My protests and apologies were 47 . Dad walked home that day. I drove behind him, 48 him all the way, but he walked silently.

【解析】

试题分析：

1. C。由文中的But Dad, it’s 18 miles可知距离远，且其他三项均未在原文中有所提示，故选C。

2.. D。service意为“修理、维修（机器）”，文意指把车送去检修。

3.. D。promise意为“承诺、答应”，“我”向父亲承诺下午4点来接他。

4.. C。根据上下文中父亲让“我”开车送他去Mijas，然后把车开去修车厂可知这里选C。

5.. A。however意为“然而”，由上下文的内容可知此处表示转折，故选A。

6.. B。find out意为“发现、查明”，句意：我想若是父亲知道我是一直在看电影，他会生气的。

7. D。由下文说晚了两小时，可知“我”是要急忙赶去，故选D。

8.. D。start意为“开始”，leave意为“离开”，不符文章意思，故排除，arrive仅指到达的瞬间动作，也排除。

9.. C。look意为“眼神”，由下文父亲再次看着“我”可知上父亲的眼神让“我”难以忘记。

10. D。feel意为“觉得、认为”，文意：我对你认为不得不对我说谎感到很失望。

11.. A。turn up 意为“出现、露面”，父亲等了很久，“我”却仍未出现。

12.. B。problem意为“问题、难题”，父亲是在担心出了什么问题。

13. A。ashamed意为“惭愧的”，frightened意为“害怕的”，nervous意为“紧张的”，surprised意为“吃惊的”，“我”对父亲说了谎，后来告诉他真相时自然会感到惭愧。

15.. B。根据后句I realize I’ve failed as a father可知父亲是对自己感到生气，故选B。

16. A。where指在哪里，原文中指父亲要反省自己在哪些地方错了。

17.. B。meaningless意为“无意义的”，useless意为“无用的”，helpless意为“无助的”，worthless意为“无价值的”，父亲已下决心，我所做的也就变得毫无意义。

18. C。ask意为“要求”，persuade意为“劝说”，beg意为“乞求”，follow意为“跟随”，C项最符合文意，“我”犯了错，想求父亲上车。

19.. A。相对于emotional(情感上的)的是physical(身体上)，由父亲采取步行回家的方式可知他还遭受了身体上的痛苦。

20.. C。also意为“也……”，这件事是“我”最痛苦的经历，也是“我最成功的教训”。

考点：考查夹叙夹议类完型

点评：本文讲述了我和父亲之间的一次情感上的交流，这是我最痛苦的经历也是我最成功的经历。答题前一定要读懂全文，弄清文章要表达的思想，注意前后段落之间的关系。答题中，一定要认真分析，注意选项与上下文的关系，与前后单词的关系。对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成，因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来。答完后再通读一篇文章，看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺，语意连贯。

I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had   36 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was   37  and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could   38  afford a dream.
My dream was to be a   39 .When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball. I was also   40 : my high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who   41 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular   42 with him changed my life forever.
It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer   43 . This meant a chance for my first income—cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the   44 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to   45  at it.
Then I realized I would have to   46  summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was   47  about this.
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as   48 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your   49 days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”
I stood before him with my head   50 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth   51  his disappointment in me.
“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded.
“$ 3．25 an hour,” I replied.
“Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a   52 ?” he asked.
That   53 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to   54  that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the   55 of my dreams.

I grew up poor — living with six brothers, three sisters and my mother. We had little money, but plenty of love and   36 . I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still   37   a dream.
My dream was   38 . By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour baseball and   39   anything that moved on the field. I was also   40 : my high school coach was John, who not only   41   me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. He   42   me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念). One particular incident with coach John changed my life forever.
A friend   43   me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — money for a new bike, new clothes and the   44   of savings for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to   45   up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldn’t be playing.
When I told John, he was as   46   as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said, “Your   47   days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head   48 , trying to think of the words that would   49   to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his   50   in me.
“Well,” he asked, “is $3.5 an hour the   51   of a dream?”
That simple question made   52   to me the difference between   53   something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself in sports that summer and   54   the year I was chosen by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and   55   a $ 20,000 contract（合同）. Later, I bought my mother the house of my dream!

I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language — the way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all — all the Englishes I grew up with.

Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions (认识) of the limited English speaker.

I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly, her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
