His attitude didnt 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，hed say in his loudest father-voice，“Thats what your legs are for！”The walk didnt 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 didnt 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 hedge(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 hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening，the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge，moving toward the house. Upon closer observation，I realized it was the top of my fathers head. Then I knew，each time Id come home，he had stood behind the hedge，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，its you！”hed say，his face lengthening into pretended surprise.I replied，“Yes，Dad，its me.Im home.”4. What does the underlined word“grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Agreed willingly.B. Explained clearly.C. Spoke unhappily.D. Accepted happily.5. What made the author feel upset was A. the tiredness after long hours in labsB. the feeling of being less than valuedC. the fear of seeing something movingD. the loneliness of riding the bus home6. The authors father watched behind the hedge because_A. he was concerned about his sons safetyB. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he didnt want to meet his son at the doorwayD. he didnt think his son was old enough to walk alone7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Riding Bus Alone.B. My College Life.C. Terrible Journey Home.D. My Fathers Secret.【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位严厉的父亲的秘密躲在树篱后偷偷地关心着儿子的安全。【4题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Dad never met me，even in severe weather.”可知，即使在恶劣的天气里，父亲也从没有接过我，在糟糕的天气里，心情自然会变差，因此作者是不高兴地说话，由此可知画线词词义为“不高兴地说”，故C项正确。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I also felt less than valued that my father didnt seem concerned about my safety.”可知，让作者感到难过的是他觉得父亲不重视自己，故B项正确。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Then I knew，each time Id come home，he had stood behind the hedge，watching，until he knew I had arrived safely.”可知，父亲躲在树篱后是因为他关心儿子的安全，故A项正确。【7题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述了一位严厉的父亲躲在树篱后偷偷地关心着儿子的安全的故事，倒数第二段中的“I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery.”中的secret是一种委婉的说法，寓意父亲对自己的爱，故D项正确。【点睛】本篇第4题主旨大意题难度较大，抓住文章的情感主线（父亲的爱）是关键，通读全文可知，文章讲述了一位严厉的父亲躲在树篱后偷偷地关心着儿子的安全的故事，倒数第二段中的“I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery.”中的secret是一种委婉的说法，寓意父亲对自己的爱，故D项（父亲的秘密）最能反映出文章主题父亲的爱。CWorld Book Day falls on April 23rd every year，but do you know that it is also Shakespeare Day? Everybody may have heard of Shakespeare，but do you know how many plays he wrote?Shakespeares plays have three kinds：tragedies，comedies and histories.

In Antony and Cleopatra，Cleopatra becomes Antonys girlfriend and Antony becomes so crazy about her that he loses control of the army. Cleopatra kills herself in the end and Antony kills himself too.Shakespeares plays can he very difficult sometimes.

But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. Thats why he created Lampbrella，a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.“Once，I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.”he said.The Latuphrella is a standard一looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a builtin electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor，theres also a 3600motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyones using the Lamphrella. After three minutes of not being used，the canopy is closed.According to the designer，the Larnpbrella would move at a relatively low speed，so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides，it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground，it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take the L.amphrella into production，Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department，and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.12. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lamphrella?A. To protect people from the rain.B. To check the weather forecast.C. To predict a heavy rain.D. To remind people to take an umbrella.13. What do we know from Belyaevs words in Paragraph 2?A. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.B. Street lamps are protected by canopies.C. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.D. His creation was inspired by an experience.14. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella?A. Its moving speed.B. Its appearance.C. Its safety.D. Its installation.15. What can he inferred from the last paragraph?A. The designer will open a company to promote his product.B. The designer is confident that his creation is practical.C. The Lamphrella could be put into immediate production.D. The Lampbrella would he put on show in Moscow.【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种的新发明，这种发明可以让你即使在下雨天没带雨衣或者雨伞的时候也不必害怕被淋湿。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Belyaev doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. Thats why he created Lampbrella，a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.”可知，Belyaev发明Lamphrella的目的是避免没带雨具的人淋雨，故A项正确。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia.”及Belyaev的话可知，他发明的灵感来自于在俄罗斯的街头看到人们淋雨这个经历，故D项正确。【14题详解】主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“not to cause harm to the pedestrians”，“protect from possible lighting strike”及“it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians”等信息可知，本段主要介绍了Lamphrella的安全性，故C项正确。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter”可知，设计者Belyaev坚持认为，这一发明可以安装在任何一条有很多人走，但没有遮阳篷提供庇护的街道上，由此可知，设计者认为这一发明很有实用价值，故B项正确。【点睛】推理判断题的难度在于要根据文章已知信息进行合乎逻辑的推断，切不可凭借主观臆断，例如本篇第4题，抓住Belyaev对这项发明的态度是关键，观点态度通常是由think，insist,believe等词引出的，根据最后一段中的“and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter”可知，设计者Belyaev坚持认为，这一发明可以安装在任何一条有很多人走，但没有遮阳篷提供庇护的街道上，由此可知，设计者认为这一发明很有实用价值。第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Change is scary._16_It can go hand in hand with the fear that we might hurt someone else if we think about ourselves.
