Passage 7(2014江苏苏州工业园区，C)

    “Another bad day at school?” my father asked as I came into the room.

    ^“ How could you tell? I didn’t shut the door heavily or any?thing,^” I replied.

    “I know moving to a new house has been hard on you.Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough ,” Papa said. “ What you must remember is that,with a lot of hard work and some time,you will make new friends."

    “You don't know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship.They won’t even give me a chance to pitch (投球) here. All I get to play is right field,and that's the worst!”

    Papa turned toward me.^“ Things will get better,I promise you. Let me ask you,do you know why you were named David Lorenzo?” “Yes,your name is David and grandfather's name is Lorenzo." “Very good”and what makes youi. grandfather so important?”

    “ He was the first in the family to come to this country ,” 1 an?swered.

    ^“ That is only partly correct. Your grandfather was a very great man.In Mexico,he had been a teacher.When he came to America he could only get manual labor.(体力劳动) jobs because he didn't speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here,but he did it. He never complained because he knew change could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that?” my father asked.

    I looked down at my feet,ashamed at my behavior. “No.That must have been hard,” I said sheepishly.

    ^“Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your tal?ent,they will accept you for who you are.I want you to always remem?ber what my father taught me,even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are ,” said Papa.

    All I could say was ,“ Okay. ” Then I asked ,“ What should I do now?”

Laughing,Papa said ,“How about pitching? You need some practice."

1. A推理判断题。根据开头的两句话“Another bad day at school?” my father asked as I came into the room. “ How could you tell? I didn't shut the door heavily or anything ,”I replied.可知，作者在学校过得不好，因 此他心情很差。故选A项。

2. C推理判断题。根据第五至十一段的内容可知，作者的爸爸想通 过讲述爷爷的故事告诉作者一些道理。故选C项。

3. D细节理解题。根据第九段第三、四句In Mexico,he had been a teacher.When he came to America he could only get manual labor (体力 劳动) jobs because he didn't speak the language.可知，当年爷爷在美国靠做体力活养活全家。故选D项。

4. B推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“What you must remember is that,with a lot of hard work and some time,you will make new friends. ”可知，爸爸教导作者要积极训练，适应新环境，结交新朋友。再根据倒数第二段 A1  I could say was,“Okay." Then I asked,“What should I do now?”可知，作者接受了爸爸的建议，即他会积极训练，适应新环 境，结交新朋友。故选B项。
