Question

【题目】We lived in a quiet neighborhood. One evening I heard a loud crash. Earlier my wife had asked me to the store for soft drinks. My teenage daughter Holly practiced her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck.

At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said ： “My heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won't last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won't last. "

After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted, ‘ Holly crashed your truck. ’

The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van. In her inexperience, she had confused the brake and the gas pedal. Holly was unhurt physically, but she was crying, “Dad, I'm sorry. I know how much you love this truck. ，" I held her in my arms as she cried.

Later a friend asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. She said, “That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad's car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me. “Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of that night. It was a deep wound on her soul.

I remembered how sad Holly was the night she crashed our truck, and how I comforted her. When Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property.

I repaired the van, but the dent in my truck is still there to-day. Every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life.

Answer 1

【答案】【1】 D

【2】 D

【3】 A

【4】 B

【5】 D

【解析】【1】推理判断题。根据第一段中My teenage daughter Holly practiced her driving, 可知我想让她练练车技。B选项迷惑性较大，是说作者想给女儿一个教训不符合原文第一段内容。C选项为主观臆断，没有确凿的依据。

【2】推理判断题。解答本题可以运用排除法。A根据第四段中 Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van. 可以推断作者家中不仅仅有一辆车。B根据第二段信息可知，儿子也很喜欢这辆卡车，但没有根据说他根本不喜欢开车。C是一个主观臆断的说法，带有绝对性。

【3】 推理判断题。根据第四段中In her inexperience, she had confused the brake and the gas pedal. 可知。C 为作者朋友/小时候出事故的原因。B、D为错误判断，原文中没有支持的根据。

【4】推理判断题。根据文章第四段中I held her in my arms as she cried. 和倒数第二段可知。C根据第四段Holly was unhurt physically. . . ! held her in my arms as she cried. 可以排除。D选项根据第五段可知，作者朋友的父亲狠狠教训了她一次，而没有把她赶出家门。

【5】主旨大意题。根据文章内容，尤其是作者对待女儿的方式和作者朋友的父亲对待类似事件处理的方式对比可知。A、B、C作为题目，概括角度都很小。本文属于记叙文，作者的中心意图是说明“没有什么比生命更重要”这个道理。
