Question

My dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement. But we knew he loved us. He just had his own way of showing it.

When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers(野营者)at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived. Each family had their own campsite with water and electric, and you basically parked your camper there from May to October. Most “seasonals” visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional week-long stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys.

We kids paired up(结对)with our little boyfriends or girlfriends, and we’d hold hands as we walked around the campground. We’d play ping-pong, have some snacks, and sing songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You’d see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you’re a teen—a three-week relationship is a really long time.

So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common. They’d all received the Evil Eye.

The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me. It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser(激光)beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys’ brains.

“You will not put your hands on my daughter. You will not kiss my daughter. You will not even whisper sweet things into my daughter’s ear. ”

I remember one night in particular walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick “See you later. ”

Yes, that’s the Evil Eye: best way ever to keep wandering teen boys’ hands away from your daughter.

2.A

3.B

4.C

【解析】深沉的父爱不必用言语表达, 那令人望而生畏的眼神诠释着父亲对女儿的挚爱。

1.选D。推理判断题。结合文章最后三段的内容可推知, 父亲的眼神对女儿有保护作用。

2.2】选A。词义猜测题。下一句提到作者父亲的目光是在警告男孩, 由此可推测其含义是“给……招惹麻烦”。

3.3】选B。细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句的内容可知他们当时结交了很多朋友, 故B项正确。由第二段第三句可知他们并不是每周末都去野营, 故A项错误; 由第三段第三、四句话可知他们经常更换朋友, 故C项错误; 由倒数第二段中的“dropped my hand like a hot potato”可知那个男孩儿害怕the Evil Eye, 故D项错误。

4.4】选C。推理判断题。根据第二段开头部分的时间状语When I was a teen可知本文是作者对过去的回忆, 再结合最后一段推知作者现在已经是成年人, 已经开始理解父亲的爱。再由第六段的内容可知作者当时是一个小女孩, 故选C项。
