2016版《卓越学案》高考英语(通用版)二轮复习第一部分专题一阅读理解第四讲专题针对训练Word版含答案

A(2015·吉林长春市第三次质检)Raised in a motherless home，my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children.His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college.I had to ride the bus whenever I came home.Though the bus stopped about two miles from home，Dad never met me，even in severe weather.If I grumbled，he’d say in his loudest father ­voice，“That’s what your legs are for！”The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads.I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety.But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs.I longed for home.When the bus reached the stop，I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedges (树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house.Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey，I always had a sense of relief to see the hedges because it meant that I was almost home.On that particular evening，the hedges had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedges，moving toward the house.Upon closer observation，I realized it was the top of my father’s head.Then I knew，each time I’d come home，he had stood behind the hedges，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely.I swallowed hard against the tears.He did care，after all.On later visits，that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery.Upon reaching home，I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair.“So，my son，it’s you！”he’d say，his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied，“Yes，Dad，it’s me.I’m home.”【解题导语】本文主要讲述了父亲从小对作者严格要求，从来不曾到车站接过他。

B(2016·河北衡水中学期中考试)My father had always been an alert observer of human character.Within seconds of meeting someone，he could sum up their strengths and weaknesses.It was always a challenge to see if any of my boyfriends could pass Dad’s test.None did.Dad was always right—they didn’t pass my test either.After Dad died，I wondered how I’d figure it out on my own.That’s when Jack arrived on the scene.He was different from any other guy I’d dated.He could sit for hours on the piano bench with my mother，discussing some composers.My brother Rick loudly announced that Jack wasn’t a turkey like the other guys I’d brought home.Jack passed my family’s test.But what about Dad’s?Then came my mother’s birthday.The day he was supposed to drive，I got a call.“Don’t worry，”he said，“but I’ve been in an accident.I’m fine，but I need you to pick me up.”When I got there，we rushed to a flower shop for something for Mom.“How about gardenias(栀子)？”Jack said，pointing at a beautiful white corsage(胸花)．The florist (花商) put the corsage in a box.The entire ride，Jack was unusually quiet.“Are you all right？”I asked.“I’ve been doing a lot of thinking，”he said.“I might be moving.”“Moving？”Then he added，“Moving in with you.”I nearly put the car on the sidewalk.“What？”I asked.“I think we should get married，”he said.He told me he’d planned his proposal in a fancy restaurant，but after the accident，he decided to do it right away.“Yes，”I whispered.We both sat stunned，tears running down our cheeks.I’d never known such a tender moment.If only Dad were here to give his final approval.“Oh，let’s just go inside，”Jack laughed.My mother opened the door.“Happy Birthday！”we shouted.Jack handed the box to her.She opened it up.Suddenly，her eyes were filled with tears.“Mom，what’s wrong？”I asked.“I’m sorry，”she said，wiping her eyes.“This is only the second gardenia corsage I’ve ever received.I was given one years ago，long before you kids were born.”“From whom？”I asked.“Your father，”Mom said.“He gave me one right before we were engaged.”My eyes locked on Jack’s as I blinked away tears.Dad’s test？I knew Jack had passed.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。
