Question

【题目】 My name is Bill. I was born in Toronto, Canada. Life looked bright and was filled with hope for my parents and me. My mother and father got married in 1980, and I was born the next year.

As I grew into a man, my father gave me lots of advice and support. There were many things about his character that I admired, but like many young boys, I often thought that my father’s ideas were from the past and out of date.

I did well as a student and was the first person in my family to graduate from university. Then I became a doctor in a hospital, and most people would say that I have had a very successful life. But I know much of my success is because of the lessons that he passed on to me.

I often look in the mirror and smile. My dad gave me many gifts, including my now bald head and the friendly smile that I have. Thank you again, dad. I miss you.

【1】细节理解。根据文中“My mother and father got married in 1980, and I was born the next year.” 我父母1980年结婚，第二年我就出生了。可知Bill出生在1981年。故选B。

【2】词句猜测。根据上文“I often thought that my father’s ideas were from the past” 我常常认为我父亲的思想来自过去。可知下文中out of date的意思是“过时”，故选C。

【3】细节理解。doctor医生； teacher老师；writer作家；lawyer律师。根据文中“Then I became a doctor in a hospital”可知，Bill大学毕业后成为一名医生。故选A。

【4】细节理解。根据文中“I know much of my success is because of the lessons that he passed on to me.”可知，但我知道我的成功很大程度上是因为他给我的教导。故选D。
