题目内容
20.It was a snowy Friday.When I observed the snowflakes falling onto my car,I really began to wonder if I was going to make it on time.Of course I must,because I have no option.About two weeks ago,what my daughter Ellen had talked about was he Christmas concert to be held in her school and some rumors about it."Mom,Rachel was supposed to sing alone,but guess what happened?She's not!Linda will replace her to do it.""Mom,I get to stand next to Tyler in the whole concert!""Mom,you won't believe it,but I Lexie's whole family is coming to the concert,even from another state!"Making a long way out of state to see third graders sing Christmas carols seemed to be a pretty big deal for her.
When I sat in traffic,I thought about all the school events I had attended alone.Elllen never mentioned it,but I wondered how she felt about me being the only one whoever came to her events.My own family lived out of town,and her father and his family never quite managed to fit those things into their schedules.I wondered if it bothered her.
At eight o'clock the concert was scheduled to begin.With only a few minutes to spare,I found myself running:first,through the snow-drifted parking lot,then through the school passage.I entered the crowded hall and found a vacant seat near the front.From her place onstage,Ellen saw me run for the chair,and she smiled.I was close enough to hear the loud conversation of the children onstage.
"Look,Ellen,there is my uncle and my cousin.They came all the way from West Virginia.I can't believe my whole family is here!"Ellen smiled at Lexie and said,"My whole family is here,too!Look,there she is!"Ellen gave me a big smile.I saved back at her,never once noticing the melting snow dripping off my head.It suddenly occurred to me that while we tried to teach our children all about life,they actually taught us what life was all about.

分析 本文讲述了作者的女儿在音乐会开始前就表达了对音乐会的期待,也向作者暗示她的同学来了很多家庭成员去看.作者也联想到自己小时候总是一个人参加学校活动,所以特别能理解女儿的心情,因此冒雪也赶去学校,只为女儿不失望.同时也告诉读者,陪伴的重要性.
解答 24.答案A.细节理解题.根据文章第三段"I wondered how she felt about me being the only one whoever came to her events."可知,只有作者一人去参加了圣诞音乐会,又从"I wondered if it bothered her"和女儿在音乐前的讨论"Lexie's whole family is coming to the concert,even from another state!"可知,作者担心女儿会因家庭成员来的少而不安.故选A.
25.答案D.细节理解题.根据文章第三段大意可知,作者在下雪天去看女儿学校的音乐会,而且还担心女儿会不会因家庭成员来的少会失望,可见作者很重视女儿的学校活动,D项正确.AB项在文中并没有提到,C项从文章中"Look,Ellen,there is my uncle and my cousin.They came all the way from West Virginia"可见Ellen的同学并没有骗她.故选D.
26.答案C.推断预测题.通读最后两段,根据文章"At eight o'clock the concert was scheduled to begin.With only a few minutes to spare,I found myself running"可知,作者差点迟到这场音乐会,C项正确.ABD项均不符合文意.故选C.
27.答案B.主旨大意题.根据全文大意选择更恰当的题目.全文讲的是作者冒雪去看女儿学校的音乐会,联想到自己小时候,所以更理解女儿,只为了不让女儿失望.可排除CD项.A项"Understanding Is Everything"理解是一切.此题目太过广泛与笼统,全文主要是表达了陪伴的重要性.故选B.
