My father and I were both angry. “Never set foot in this house again!” shouted my father. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out to the street.
I walked aimlessly. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me I seemed to see my childhood from another space: happy.
But now ... I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because my dad is getting old. We have different ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions on me. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I walked in the streets. My heart was cold on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people in the streets, until I had only the street lights with me. When I finally reached the building where I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: “Is my father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me ”
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, my dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except my father’s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret. However, after an argument（争论）he has the habit of tucking me underneath the covers (掖被子) while I am sleeping.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. “Am I wrong ” I whispered, maybe ... With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that there wasn’t the iron door that I had imagined between us at all.
Love — it’s second to none.
( )48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A. The father didn’t like his son’s stamp collecting.
B. The son and his father needed communication.
C. The father opened the door for the son when he came back.
D. The boy fully understood why he and his father had different thinking.
( )49. Which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my home still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father’s kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
A. b, e, c, d, a B. b, e, d, c, a C. b, e, a, c, d D. b, e, c, a, d
( )50.What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage
A. The father treats his son in an unfair way. B. The father is neither kind nor rude to his son.
C. The father loves his son very much in fact. D. The father is always finding his son wrong.
( )51.This passage is mainly about________.
A. where the boy went B. why the boy left home
C. what made a father angry D. how the boy understood his father’s love
C
The Marches were a happy family. Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, and Merimee, as the March girls called their mother.
The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up;but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always.
The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. "Your husband is very ill," it said, "come at once." The girls tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever (猩红热) when she was taking care of a sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Merimee was back. When Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together.
Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety.
Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Mareches'. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn't live much longer to be with her family, and in the springtime she died.
News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became even more successful in her writing and got married to Professor Bhaer, and soon afterwards founded a school for boys.
And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to.
( )52. The members of the March family were
A. Father March, Mrs March and their four daughters
B. Father March, Mrs March and their five daughters
C. son and four daughters D. son and five daughters
( )53. Who was the most successful in career (事业) among the March girls
A. Jo. B. Beth. C. Amy. D. Meg.
( )54. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. The March Family. B. The March Parents.
C. The March Girls. D. The March Relatives.
( )55. It can be inferred from the passage that the March family had
A. both happiness and sadness B. wealthy neighbors
C. more girls than boys D. a lot of rich relatives
