2015贵阳市高考英语阅读理解和完形填空自选练习（4）答案（四月）【2015高考复习】阅读理解 “ive changed my mind.i wanted to have a telescope，but now i want my dad back.” lucien lawrences letter to his father for christmas written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate，must have touched everyones heart.lucien went on to say that without his father he couldnt see the stars in the sky.when those whom we love depart from us，we cannot see the stars for a while.but lucien，the stars are still there，and one day，when you are older and your tears have gone，you will see them again.and，in a strange way，i expect that you will find your father there，too，in your mind and heart.i find that my parents，who died years ago，still figure in many of my dreams and that i think of them perhaps more than i ever did when they were alive.i still live to please them and im still surprised by their reactions.i remember that when i became a professor，i was so proud，or rather so pleased with myself that i couldnt wait to cable my parents.the reply was a long time in coming，but when it did，all my mother said was “i hope this means that now you will have more time for the children！” i havent forgotten.the values of my parents still live on.it makes me pause and think about how i will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom i care.would i have been as ready as philip lawrence have been to face the aggressors，and to lay down my life for those in my care？how many people would want me back for christmas？its a serious thought，one to give me pause.i pray silently，sometimes，in the dead of night，that ancient cry of a poet “deliver my soul from the sword，and my darling from the power of the dog.” yet i know the death comes to us all，and sometimes comes suddenly.we must therefore plan to live forever，but live as if we will die tomorrow.we live on，im sure，in the lives of those we love，and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure.if more parents knew this in their hearts to be true，there might be fewer knives on our streets today.【语篇解读】一个孩子在圣诞节对已经去世的父亲撕心裂肺的呼唤让人情不能已，潸然泪下。孩子，虽然亲人与我们两世相隔，可是他们永远活在我们心中，恍如昨天。虽然世人难免一死，但是如果大家互相关怀，没有了暴力和谋杀，世界岂不更加美好？1according to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph_.aputs forward

biography, “is the founding father who winks at us.” by that, isaacson explains, he means franklin is the most humanand most modernof the men who shaped the american republic. we admire washington, jefferson and adams, but they remain creatures of the 18th century. the man we encounter in “benjamin franklin”funny, pragmatic and selfaware seems like one of us, or at least someone wed like to be.unlike washingtons cherry tree, franklins kite was real. his experiments with electricity made him one of the great scientists of his day. he was a middleclass businessman whose success as a printer and a journalist allowed him to retire at 42and he devoted the rest of his life to his country. he was diplomat who persuaded the french to back the american revolution and the author of the first great american autobiography. he was an excellent swimmer. there was almost nothing he couldnt do well, except write poetry. but what truly distinguished franklin was his talent of being great and human at the same time. he owned slaves as a younger man, but in his last years became an abolitionist(废奴主义者).when he fathered an illegitimate(私生的) son, he acknowledged his fatherhood and took the responsibility of raising the boy.he seems strange today in the joy he took in compiling and creating all those self- improvement maxims he published in poor richards almanac(年鉴) “early to bed, early to rise” and so on. generations of lazy boys could have been happier without that. but he was no hypocrite(伪君子). isaacson tells us franklin practiced what he preached, and often laughed at himself while he did so.by a happy accident, this is the second excellent biography of franklin to appear in two years, after edmund s.morgans inspiring “benjamin franklin.” 6. what type of literature does this passage belong to?a.research paper.b.book review.c. biography. d.short story.7. the underlined word “maxims” in paragraph 3 probably means_.a.proverbs b.standardsc.requests d.orders8. with the fact that franklin shouldered the responsibilities of raising his illegitimate son, the author wants to prove that_.a.franklin had made a big fortune in his business before he got devoted to politiesb.franklin might be the only parent to support the child at that timec.franklin was a great man who seems human to usd.franklin was improving his character when he got on in ages9. the underlined word “himself” in paragraph 3 refers to_.a.richards almanac b.walter isaacsonc.anyone of the readers. d.benjamin franklin10. in which part of a magazine can we most probably find this article?a.society and the arts. b.current affairs.c.business report. d.advertisement.【参考答案】610、bacda 【2015高考复习】完形填空armed with two overpacked suitcases，we arrived at the airport just in time for my
