Question

B

Dear Daddy ，

I just want to say Happy Father's Day and also Happy Birthday* since to?day is also your birthday.

I want to tell you something that I probably never told you before. First of all, I know you had always been the type of American father that didn't show lots of love. You were a little harder on your boys, then you were your girls. But in fact we know you always spoiled us girls.

I know that I didn't visit you as often as 1 should have and I didn't call you either, and for this I am truly sorry. I should have spent more time with you and we could have a good long talk, because I did truly enjoy the talks that we had. You were also one of those people that were always fun to be around and could always make us laugh. I enjoyed the time we spent together and al?though I probably never told you before, but I did appreciate everything you ever did for me.

Mum, my sister and I went to see you this morning and spent some time with you. We couldn't let your birthday and Father's Day go by without pay?ing you a visit. We placed some flowers on your headstone(墓碑)and someone had left a flag on there as well. Probably it's one of my brothers. 1 kept think?ing about that February windy day back in 1992 when we laid you in the ground and how I just wanted to scream, "Don't put my daddy in the ground; it's dark down there.，，

Daddy, I hope that you are still smiling up in heaven the way I remember you when you were alive. I shall see you again soon. 1 will keep it. Happy Birthday and Happy Father's Day. I love you and always will.

Yours ， Jane

Answer 1

 [文章大意]這是一封女兒寫給已故父親的信，信中充滿

了女兒對父親的思念之情。

4.    D細節理解題。根據文章第一段的"I〗ust want to say Happy Father's Day and also Happy Birthday, since today is also your birthday."可知，Jane父親的生日和父親節恰巧在同一天。

5.  B推理判斷題。文章第二段最后兩句的意思是：你對男孩們總是更加嚴苛，之后就是你的女孩們。但實際上，我們都知道.你總是嬌慣我們這些女孩們。根據"You were a little harder on your boys.""可知,you were your girls是you were a little harder on your girls的省略形式。這里的boys和girls分別指Jane的兄弟和姐妹。

6.    B推理判斷題。根據文章第二段的"First of all, 1 know yen！…didn't show lots of love."及第三段的內容可知，父親深愛著自己的孩子們。

7.    C推理判斷題。根據文章第四段中的"在墓碑前放鮮花"，到Jane想起安葬父親的那一天等情節的描述，我們可以感受到Jane非常思念她的父親。

8.    B 推理判斷題。在最后一段中，"1 shall see you again soon."是Jane對父親的承諾，緊接著說"I will keep it.", I will keep the promise..
