As I walked on，there were fewer and fewer people in the streets，until I had only the street lights to keep me company.When I finally reached the highrise apartment block in which I lived，I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself：“Is my father waiting for me，or is he still angry with me？”In fact，it was nothing.Perhaps，my dad was throwing away some of his old stamps.Perhaps he thought they were useless.I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except my fathers.Dad was always like this.Maybe he didnt know how to express himself.After shouting at me，he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.This was how he always was.He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on.“Am I wrong？” I whispered，maybe.With the key in my hand，I was as nervous as I had ever been.At last，I decided to open the door.As soon as I opened the door，tears ran down my cheeks.I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all.Loveits second to none.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，作者和爸爸吵架离家后，爸爸一直为深夜未归的作者亮着灯，最后作者意识到爱是第一位的。5Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AThe author fully understood why he and his father had different thinking.BThe author and his father lacked communication.CThe authors father didnt approve of his stamp collecting.DThe authors father opened the door for him when he came back.解析细节理解题。根据第五段中的“We are just like two people coming from two different worlds.It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.”可知，作者和爸爸之间像是有一扇从未打开的铁门，由此可见他们之间缺少沟通，故B项正确。答案B6According to the author，why did his father often shout at him?APerhaps the father was getting older and older.BPerhaps the father had been used to doing that.CPerhaps the son had already grown up.DPerhaps they never agreed with each other.解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“This was how he always was.He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.”可知，告诉别人做什么已经成了一直当领导的爸爸的第二天性，由此可见，爸爸已经习惯了对他大喊大叫，故B项正确。答案B7What did the author mean by the
