【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,关于父子情的,着重讲述了作者在一次航海中救起落水的父亲的故事。
36. C根据第5段I swam to Dad可以确定是C(swimming),父亲精通航海术,却不会游泳。
37. D根据下文,作者陪父亲一同去航海,而且还救了落水的父亲,可知作者在很小的时候就学会了(learned)航海和游泳。
38. B上次作者跟他父亲一起去航海,但却遇到了意外,作者好不容易才救起了落水的父亲,当然是十分难忘(unforgettable)。
39. C下文叙述了作者跟其父亲一起去航海的经历。根据Dad hadn’t sailed for years,可知作者在大学毕业回家后,邀请(invited)父亲一同前往,去航海。
40. A根据下文When we were in the middle of the lake, a 42 wind came all of a sudden.可知,作者他们到了湖心,突然起风。自然出发的时候应该是风平浪静(calm),也才能够去航海。
41. B尽管父亲多年没有航海,但在父亲的掌控中,一切都进展顺利(go well)。
42. A根据下文,他们的船随风颠簸,到处乱撞(violently),而且父亲还被卷落水中,可知一定是狂风大作(strong)。
43. D参考上一题。
44. A想想当时,肯定他们是遇险了,在作者记忆中,父亲应该是能处理好一切的险情(danger),但这一次,却害怕了。(也许是老了吧,呵呵。)
45. C根据he shouted in a trembling voice,可知父亲是害怕了,手也不听使唤了,颤抖的声音在那向作者求救。
46. B父亲害怕了,自己不能处理这一切了,当然是向作者求救(Help),希望作者帮他一把。
47. A参考44,父亲应该是能够处理好一切的问题。
48. A在作者记忆中,父亲一直是作者的偶像,是一位随时向他寻求力量和保护的英雄。turn to sb. for sth.向某人求助什么的。
49. D根据下文Anther huge wall of water,可知在作者还没反应过来,一个巨浪(wave)拍打过来。
50. D作者扑过去抓舵柄,却是迟了一步。
51. C紧接着,又是一个巨浪,将船掀翻(turned over)。根据下文,两人都落水了,当然是船翻了呀。
52. B父亲在水中无助的挣扎,作者当然应该去保护(protective)他,拯救他。这个时候,不应该为父亲不会游泳而感到羞愧(ashamed),更不能害怕(afraid)呀,不然,大家都乱了,那不玩完了呀。
53. B此时父亲正在水中挣扎,当然是飞快(quickly)的向父亲游了过去,慢了(slowly),就晚啦。注意当时的作者是大学毕业了,也是一大小伙子了,父亲遇险,应该紧急施救,不能彷徨无助(helplessly),认为一切都无望的(hopelessly)。
54. C刚刚救起的父亲,当然还心有余悸(fear),注意作者的安慰“It’s all right, Dad. We are safe now,”强调一个safe,让父亲不要害怕啦。
55. D以前是作者指望(counted on)父亲,现在作者已经长大成人,当然应该反过来照顾(look out for)父亲了。
【评析】今年的完型在选材上仍然走温情叙事路线,一篇讲述父子情的记叙文,题目设置以实词为主、虚词为辅。严格遵守首行不设空的高考命题要求。要在完型拿下高分,考生需保持思维的一贯性及注重前后文联系。切记不能像做单选一样,做一道扔一道。现在的完型已经不考语法,大大增加了上下文推理出题的比例。如此次的开篇第36题,要读到第5段I swam to Dad才能确定是C,swimming。攻克完形填空,考生如果想节省时间并保证正确率,那建议读文章两遍。仅读一次不易拿下高分,读三遍过于消耗时间。
When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said.“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

I first went to Harrow in the summer term. The school had the biggest swimming pool I had ever seen. It was a good joke to come up behind a naked boy, and push him into the pool. I made quite a habit of this with boys of my own size or less.
One day I saw a boy wrapped in a towel on the side of the pool. He was no bigger than I was, so I thought him a fair game. Coming secretly behind, I pushed him in, holding on to his towel so that it would not get wet, I was surprised to see an angry face come out from the water, and a being of great strength masking its way by face strokes (猛力地划)to the shore. I fled, but in vain. He overtook me, seized me violently, and threw me into the deepest part of the pool. I soon climbed out on the other side, and found myself surrounded by a crowd of younger boys.” Do you know what you have done?” they said, “It’s Amery; he is in Grade Six. He is champion at gym; he has got his football honor.”
I was frightened and felt ashamed. How could I tell his position when be was wrapped in a bath towel and so small.” He didn’t seem pleased at all, so I added in a most brilliant word,” My father, who is a great man, is also small.” At this be laughed, and after some general words about my rude behavior and how I had better be careful in the future, signified the incident was closed.
