题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Eddie’s father used to say he’d spent so many years by the ocean, breathing seawater. Now, away from that ocean, in the hospital bed, his body began to look like a beached fish. His condition went from fair to stable and from stable to serious. Friends went from saying, “He’ll be home in a day,” to “He’ll be home in a week.” In his father’s absence, Eddie helped out at the pier (码头), working evenings after his taxi job.

When Eddie was a teenager, if he ever complained or seemed bored with the pier, his father would shout, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?” And later, when he’d suggested Eddie take a job there after high school, Eddie almost laughed, and his father again said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?” And before Eddie went to war, when he’d talked of marrying Marguerite and becoming an engineer, his father said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?”

And now, regardless of all that, here he was, at the pier, doing his father’s labor.

Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. It is not until much later, as the heart weakens, that children understand: their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit on top of the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives.

Finally, one night, at his mother’s urging, Eddie visited the hospital. He entered the room slowly. His father, who for years had refused to speak to Eddie, now lacked the strength to even try.

Don’t sweat it, kid,” the other workers told him. “Your old man will pull through. He’s the toughest man we’ve ever seen.”

When the news came that his father had died, Eddie felt the emptiest kind of anger, the kind that circles in its cage.

       In the weeks that followed, Eddie’s mother lived in a confused state. She spoke to her husband as if he were still there. She yelled at him to turn down the radio. She cooked enough food for two. One night, when Eddie offered to help with the dishes, she said, “Your father will put them away.” Eddie put a hand on her shoulder. “Ma,” he said, softly, “Dad’s gone.”

       “Gone where?”

67.In Paragraph four, the writer indicates that __________.

A. Children like moving away from their parents

B. Children often feel regretful because they leave their parents

C. Children wouldn’t have achieved so much without their parents’ support

D. Children can never understand how much their parents have devoted to them

68. The underlined sentence “Don’t sweat it” (Para. 6) probably means __________.

A. Don’t touch it                                  B. Don’t give it up

C. Don’t let him down                         D. Don’t worry about it

69.Which of the following shows the right order of the story?

a. Eddie’s father died.

b. Eddie married Marguerite.

c. Eddie worked as a taxi driver.

d. Eddie was bored with his father’s job.

A. dbca                   B. dcab                 C. bcda                 D. bacd

70.From the last paragraph, we learn that __________.

A. Eddie’s mother liked to listen to the radio

B. Eddie’s mother missed her husband so much that she was at a loss

C. Eddie and his wife lived in his mother’s apartment

D. Eddie often helped his mother wash the dishes

Tsunami(海啸)Death Toll to Rise Greatly

A senior UN official has described the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami as among the worst-ever natural disasters(灾难).The United Nations'top emergency(紧急事件)relief(救济)official, Jan Egeland, says the death toll from the December 26 tsunami may rise much higher as more information becomes available from the isolated(孤立的)western coast of Sumatra.Mr.Egeland says relief workers are now focusing on the western coast of northern Sumatra.He says they are just beginning to fully grasp the level of destruction caused by the earthquake and tsunami in that area.“The coast is low.It takes the full blast(冲击波)of the tsunami which was at its highest and many, many of these villages are gone ,”he said.“There is no trace(踪迹)left of them.They had hardly roads before.Now they have nothing.The death toll will grow highly on the west coast of Sumatra.What will be the final toll, we will never know.But we may be talking of tens of thousands of further deaths in this area.The town of Meulaboh, nearly 50,000 inhabitants(居民),has perhaps been the most destructed of any town anywhere, even much more than Banda Aceh.”Mr.Egeland describes reaching the isolated parts of Sumatra as a nightmare(噩梦).Mr.Egeland said international response to the disaster has been, in his words “greatly positive”.He said much of the aid is being directed at the water and sanitation sectors(卫生设备)in the worst-hit countries.
