“Dad,” I say one day, “Let’s take a trip. Why don’t you fly and meet me ”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
“What is our first stop ” asks my father.
“What time is it ”
“Still don’t have a watch ”
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy.
“Unbelievable.” he says. “How was this done ”
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and I ask myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything ” “No directions, no goals.” I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.
“Did you ever travel with your dad ” I ask.
“Only once,” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”
The last sentence—it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip, I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.

“Dad,” I say one day, “Let’s take a trip. Why don’t you fly and meet me ”
My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM. His job filled his day, his thought and his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower, I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch, I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drifting aimlessly, nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down, but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
“What is our first stop ” asks my father.
“What time is it ”
“Still don’t have a watch ”
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩), his mouth and eyes open slowly, like those of a little boy.
“Unbelievable.” he says. “How was this done ”
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and I ask myself, “Would I ever devote my life to anything ” “No directions, no goals.” I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we’re at Yellowstone National Park, where we have a picnic.
“Did you ever travel with your dad ” I ask.
“Only once,” he says. “I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave.”
The last sentence—it’s probably the same thing I’d say about my father. And what I’d want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park, my father says, “I’ve never seen water so blue.” I have, in several places of the world. I can keep traveling, I realize and maybe a regular job won’t be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip, I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful,” he says. “We have got to take another trip like that sometime.” I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch.
31. We can learn from Paragraph 2 and 3 that the father ________.
A. followed the fashion B. got bored with his job
C. was unhappy with the author’s lifestyle D. liked the author’s collection of stamps
32. What does the author realize at Mount Rushmore
A. His father is interested in sculpture. B. His father is as innocent as a little boy.

A. wants his children to learn from their grandfather B. comes to understand what parental love means
C. learns how to communicate with his father D. hopes to give whatever he can to his father
34. What could be inferred about the author and his father from the end of the story
A. The call solves their disagreements. B. The Swiss watch has drawn then closer.
C. They decide to learn photography together. D. They begin to change their attitudes to life.

A. Love Nature Love Life B. A Son Lost in Adventures
C. A Journey with Dad D. The Art of Travel

31.推理判断题。根据“My father sees me drifting aimlessly…”及“He wants me to settle down”可知，父亲认为作者的生活没有目标，33年来一事无成，希望他能安顿下来，故选C。
32.细节理解题。根据“No directions, no goals. I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice. Now I hear them in my own”可知，之前作者总是听父亲说他的生活没有目标，现在作者自己内心里也在对之前的生活方式产生怀疑，这让他意识到自己应该设定一个目标，故选D。
33.句意猜测题。从“I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other-but never said it. Whatever he could give me, he gave”可以看出，父亲和他的父亲是彼此深爱，但都不向对方表达，作者认识到自己和父亲也是这样的，作者开始理解父母的爱是什么了，故选B。
34.推理判断题。根据“We have got to take another trip like that sometime”以及“I tell him I’ve decided to settle down, and I’m wearing a watch”可知，不爱旅行的父亲爱上了旅行，不想安顿下来的儿子也要安顿下来了，他们都改变了对生活的态度，故选D。
