Question

   Dad never tried to hug or kiss me when I was a child. And of course,he never said “ I love you" to me,eaher. But whenever I felt sad or lonely,dad was always there.

   When I was in high school,dad retired and set up a food stand on the street near my school. Every day when I finished school,my classmates and I would pass his food stand. But I really hated talking to dad in front of his food stand.

   One night,I couldn’t stand it any more and shouted, “Dad,could you stop selling your stupid noodles? I don't need a father who sells noodles on the street!” At that moment,dad was shocked. He tried to say something but didn't. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time that I had seen dad crying. My mom later told me dad sold noodles to save money for my college education. I was so foolish and even today I still feel guilty for that night.

   Time really flies. I finished college and then left my home. For the past ten years,whenever Fve visited home,dad was always there meeting me and seeing me off quietly at the railway station. Whenever he saw me off,he never tried to hug me. When I was away from home,dad never wrote or called me,but he always pushed my mom to call me. That's the way dad is,and that's how dad shows his love to me.

Answer 1

1. D 2. C 3. A 4. A 5. B

  父亲从没有拥抱或亲吻过儿子，但他用自己独有的方式 铸成了一座巍峨的高山，这座高山叫父爱。

1. D细节理解题。根据第二段的首句“When I was in high school,dad retired and set up a food stand on the street near my school. ”可知，在作者上高中的时候父亲退休 了，在离学校不远的街边摆起了食摊。

2. C推理判断题。上文提到了每天放学回家，作者与同学们都要路过父亲的面摊。但那时候作者真的很讨厌站 在他摊前和他说话，由此可推知，原因是作者不想同学 知道他有一个在大街上摆摊的父亲。

3. A词义猜测题。上文提到了作者怒斥父亲，要他不再去卖面条，他不需要一个只会在大街上卖面条的父亲！ 后来妈妈告诉他，父亲摆摊卖面条是在为他上大学攒 学费。由此可以推知本句意为：即使今天，我仍然为那 天晚上的所作所为而感到内疚。

4. A细节理解题。根据最后一段的“…but he always pushed my mom to call me. ”可知，肖作者远在他乡时， 父亲从来不会给他写信，也从来不给他打电话。但他 总是会催妈妈给作者打电话。

5. B主旨大意题。通读文章可知，作者的父亲虽然从没有拥抱或亲吻过儿子，但是却无时无刻地为儿子着想:摆 摊卖面条为他上大学攒学费；当他回老家时，父亲总会 默默地在火车站迎接他然后再送他；当作者远在他乡 时，父亲从来不会给他写信，也从来不给他打电话，但父亲总是会催妈妈给他打电话……故“无言的父爱”适 合做标题。
