Week 9TuesdayTask 1:阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。(2012浙江,D)As a young boy,I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad.He was a rural mail carrier,and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him.Driving through the countryside was always an adventure:There were animals to see,people to visit,and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop,and Dad did.In the spring,Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens,and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.On Dads final day of work,it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service.“Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route,”he used to say,“and a story at every one.”One lady had no mailbox,so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind.Once inside,he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail.One note left in a mailbox read,“Nat,take these eggs to Marian;shes baking a cake and doesnt have any eggs.”Mailboxes might be buried in the snow,or broken,or lying on the ground,but the mail was always delivered.On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate.A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps,so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox;Dad paid for the stamps.One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank.Once,the amount came to $32,000.A dozen years ago,when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dads death,the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories.I thought I knew them all,but that wasnt the case.As I drove home,I noticed two lamp poles,one on each side of the street.When my dad was around,those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground.One box was painted green,and the other was red,and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering:SANTA CLAUS,NORTH POLE.For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house.Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps.There,at the door,stood Frank Townsend,Dads postmaster and great friend for many years.So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes.“What are we going to do about the letters this Christmas?”he asked.“The letters?”“I guess you never knew.”“Knew what?”“Remember,when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa in those green and red boxes on Main Street?It was your dad who answered all those letters every year.”I just sat there with tears in my eyes.It wasnt hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one.I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood,and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.For me,just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了父亲是一个邮递员,他关爱他人,有着崇高的职业精神。1It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as_Agreat chances to help other peopleBhappy occasions to play with baby chickensCexciting experiences with a lot of funDgood opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies答案C逻辑推理题。根据文章第一段Driving through the countryside was always an adventure:There were.可推断和父亲一起旅行是非常有趣的经历。2The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that_ADad had a strong sense of dutyBDad was an honest and reliable manCDad had a strong sense of honorDDad was a kind and generous man答案B逻辑推理题。根据文章第四段One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank.
