Question

14．I left baseball，not for physical reasons but because it was my season for change．So I decided to walk away and once I did，like the vast majority of players，I was lost．It would be the first time since I learned to swing a bat that I would spend an entire summer without ever putting on a uniform．Once you leaves the place it's no longer you against that fastball，it is you against yourself．
So you swim around trying to figure out what young，retired baseball players do with their lives．For me，the moment was completely without the guiding wisdom of my father，who could communicate with me with just a nod of his head，but he passed away two years ago．
Since my retirement，I have searched for the next passion．It is a discouraging journey，and many players never find that next love，even though they kept looking．
Of course my father could never be replaced．His passion was writing．He left behind a body of poetry that guides me now．
I didn't stay lost forever．I found something that I wasn't looking for：a voice through writing．Writing introduced me to people who were otherwise strangers and made them guests at my table．Only later did I understand that this would be a bridge to understanding my father in another way．A way that led me to connect to a passion I didn't realize we both shared．
After my first book was published，I realized that writing was passion and even therapy，but now I also thought that maybe I'd found my next profession．
Thankfully，I always knew my father was proud of me．But despite living the dream of so many Americans and reaching its highest level，I have no doubt that he would be even prouder of what I am doing with my words，words that I can leave for my son to read one day．
66．Why couldn't the author's father offer him any help at the moment？A
A．Because his father had a head injury two years ago．
B．Because his father had been dead for two years．
C．Because his father was busy writing poems．
D．Because his father was away on business．
67．How did the author get over the most difficult time in life？D
A．By staying at home doing nothing．
B．By travelling around the entire summer．
C．By communicating with his father face to face．
D．By reading his father's works and writing his own．
68．According to the passage，the author was most likely to become aC．

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了在我放弃棒球的低谷时期我发现了父亲留下来的作品，开始创作自己的作品，这使他在找到人生的又一个激情也度过了人生中最困难的时期．

解答 66．A．细节理解题．根据文章第二段"For me，the moment was completely without the guiding wisdom of my father，who could communicate with me with just a nod of his head，but he passed away two years ago"可知父亲两年前就去世了，所以不能给作者提供帮助；故选A．
67．D．推理判断题．根据文章第五段"Writing introduced me to people who were otherwise strangers and made them guests at my table．Only later did I understand that this would be a bridge to understanding my father in another way"可知作者读了父亲的诗后，开始创作自己的作品，这使他度过了人生中最困难的时期；故选D．
68．C．推理判断题．根据文章倒数第二段的"After my first book was published…maybe I've found my next profession"可知作者最有可能成为一名作家；故选C．
69．D．推理判断题．根据文中倒数第三段"Only later did I understand that this would be a bridge to understanding my father in another way．"可知写作是另一种方式去了解他的父亲；故选D．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
