第十一组(建议用时：25分钟)阅读理解AOn Sundays my father always wore that dull gray apron(围裙)—the one with the race cars all over it. The tradition began after breakfast when Dad always announced: “Go ahead everyone.I’ll take care of the dishes！” With that my mother disppeared into the folds to the Sunday paper.Off came the suit coat he had worn to church that morning. Up went the shirtsleeves. On went apron.For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing ballads like “I Had a Hat When I Came In” and “Who Put the Chow in Mrs. Murphy’s Chowder？”I suppose it was strange for a boy’s father to wear an apron—even one with race cars, but I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition. It was the last Sunday in August. My father seemed in an expansive mood as we walked home from church together.“Tommy，” he said letting my name roll off his tongue. My mind raced ahead of his words：The birds and the bees? A new bike? A part­time job?“There comes a time in every boy’s life when he must take on responsibilities.”“Responsibilities？” I asked.“Yes. It’s time you took a greater role in the household.” Power tools? Boss my baby brothers?“Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle together.”“The dishes！”“Anything wrong with talking over the dishes, son？”I started to say something about a man’s job or women’s work, but I knew immediately that my protests would fall on deaf ears.I didn’t taste a bit of breakfast that morning. Dad seemed in a cheerful mood and was describing a wonderful baseball game he saw last night.Suddenly, everything grew quiet. My sister bagan to clear the table.My brother was finishing the last of the egg from his plate. And then that ancient family tradition that had filled so many Sunday mornings came to an end. My father announced: “Let’s go read the paper, Honey.”“Aren’t you doing the dishes？” My mother asked in puzzlement.“Your oldest son has generously offered to fill the position.”My brother and sister stopped cold. So this was what my life had come to. A dark angel set on my left shoulder and reminded me that I could hit a baseball farther than anyo ne in my class. I could bench­press my weight. Ask me to run through a rainstorm. Command me to ride the roller coaster backward. These things I would do. But I could never do those dishes. There was nothing left but to refuse.People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son. He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to storm out. He had loosened his tie and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt—ready to relax. In his right hand was the old apron.“I want you to have this, Tommy. It’ll keep your clothes from getting wet.”And before I could mount a protest, he had put the thing on me. “Thanks, Son. Your mother and I appreciate this.”With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the plastic. It had seen better days. I could see my dad reaching for the dishes. The dark angelflew off. Soon I was singing about Mrs. Murphy’s Chowder. The words came out of nowhere. And out of nowhere I knew the kind of man I wanted to be.1．From Paragraph 1, we can learn that ________．A．the family usually had breakfast after going to church on SundaysB．father was not very willing to wash dishes for the familyC．mother had no time to do the dishes on SundaysD．it was the family’s tradition that men were placed second to women2．What did the writer think of washing dishes at first?A．It’s natural for a man to wash dishes.B．Children need to help parents wash dishes.C．Parents should wash dishes more.D．Washing dishes was women’s work.3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The writer was asked to run through a rainstorm.B．The writer’s sister offered to wash dishes for him.C．The writer’s father could read his mind.D．T he writer’s mother was happy that he offered to wash dishes.4．Which of the following can best describe the writer’s father?A．Caring but stubborn.B．Generous but strict.C．Considerate and responsible.D．Humorous and creative.5．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________．A．the writer was unwilling to do what he was askedB．the writer understood his father at lastC．the writer was deeply moved by his father’s wordsD．the writer couldn’t help thinking of the good old days6．The writer wrote the passage in order to tell ________．A．how his father taught him what it means to be a manB．there is always a special chemistry between a father and a sonC．the generation gap is something easy to deal withD．what an ideal relationship between a father and a son is likeBTime spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book­lover or merely go there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower.Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dus t­jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book. You soon become absorbed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this.A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop，no assistant will approach you with the unavoidable greeting：“Can I help you，sir？”You needn’t buy anything you don’t want.In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the_assistant_should_retire_considerately_and_look_as_if_he_is_not_interested_in_selling_a_single_book.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say, ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best­selling novel and perhaps a book about brass­rubbing—something that had only uncertainly interested you up till then.This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it.This sort of thing can be very dangerous.Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.Book­sellers must be both long­suffering and tolerant. There is a story which well explains this. A medical student had to read a text­book which was far too expensive for him to b uy.He couldn’t obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in the bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go along to the shop and read a little of the book at a time.One day, however, he was dismayed to find the book missing from its usual place and was about to leave when he noticed the owner of the shop signaling to him. Expecting to be told off, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book, which was put away in a corner，“I put it there in case anyone was tempted to buy it，” he said, and left the student to continue his reading.7．You may spend too much time in a bookshop because ________．A．the dust­jackets are very attractiveB．you start reading one of the booksC．it is rainingD．you have to make sure you don’t buy a dull book as a present8．According to the text, in a good bookshop ________．A．nobody takes any notice of youB．the assistant greets you in a friendly wayC．your heart is contentedD．you feel that you are in a music shop9．It can be learned from the text that an assistant should offer you help ________．A．as soon as you have entered the shopB．just before you finish browsingC．only when you have finished readingD．when he leads you to a particular section10．The author implies that it is very easy to enter a bookshop and buy ________．A．a book on ancient coinsB．a best­selling novel on brass­rubbingC．a book that only vaguely interests youD．a book that unexpectedly fascinates you11．The textbook the medical student was interested in was tucked away in a corner ________．A．to prevent anyone from buying itB．because the medical student might take it awayC．in case the medical student was tempted to buy itD．because it was a rare and expensive book阅读理解A1．解析：选A。
