My biggest frustration was trying to why he didn’t make choices that would him to be involved more fully in the lives of his grandchildren. Yet he each and every one of them. Every morning he asked my mother which of his grandbabies was going to that day. He had frequent visits from his collection of loving grandkids. Kids would have the place up instantly—toys everywhere, cushions off the couches and the TV channel to their station. Every visit was a kid invasion into his space. Interestingly, he was not at all bothered by the or chaos at all. He was never with them and he certainly never shouted at any child. Visits ended with and kisses.
I felt that relationship wasn’t good enough because he didn’t actually do anything my children. My dad didn’t read to the children, and certainly played a board game or did a puzzle with them. He didn’t take them out for or do any of the other things I saw active grandparents doing with their grandchildren. It made me sad that he was to get on with the kids.
A couple of weeks after his death, my 9-year-old daughter turned up in my bedroom at midnight to share a
of him done by herself. Included in the picture were several messages and —one for each day since he had died. The most striking one to me was“I loved EVERYTHING about you, Grandpa”.
Apparently, I was . All that time I thought he wasn’t doing anything with his grandchildren, but he was very actively doing the thing that was most to them. He loved them. And it was all they needed.

解析
试题分析：作者对父亲(作者的公公)埋怨颇多。主要埋怨他不同孙辈们一起玩耍。其实作者误解了父亲。
父亲去世后，她的孩子拿出他们所画的一幅画，画中写道“爷爷，我爱你的一切”深深震撼了她。其实父
亲所做的一切对她的孩子们是多么的重要。
小题1:B 父亲生病住院，按常理说：母亲应该花时间去照料(taking care of)父亲。其余三项“为……准
备，信任，盼望”都不符合语境。
小题2:C 在父亲生病，母亲照料父亲的情况下，毫无疑问家务事没有人做了，所以应该出现了“困难的
(difficult)情况”，而不至于出现了“危险的(dangerous)情况(如果这样推测就有点夸大其辞)”；其余两项 “个
人的，令人厌烦的” 结合下文的(frustrated令人沮丧的)应排除。
小题3:A由上下文可以推测这里讲的是结果(result)。结果造成整个一家人都陷入了令人沮丧的境地。其
余三项“解决的办法，奖励/报酬，复习/回顾”都不符合语境。
小题4:D本句比较长有两个空格，所以与下一题连起来考虑。根据下文的叙述，我们可以这样理解本句
话的意思：作者感到最头疼的是要尽力去理解父亲为什么就没有做出选择让自己更加充分地融入到孙辈们
的生活中去的呢(从下文可以看出，父亲是不去看望孩子们的而是孩子到他们的住处玩)。explain解释；
describe描述；accept接受。
小题5:B expect期望；allow让，允许；force强迫；persuade劝服。
小题6:C从“Yet”的转折语气中，我们可以推测“父亲还是爱每一个孩子的”。其余三项的意思分别为
“尊敬，忽视/不重视，责怪”不符合语境。
小题7:C每天早上父亲都会问母亲当天哪一个孩子来玩(访visit)。leave离开，留下；cry 哭泣；perform
表演。
小题8:B从下文可以看出：孩子们常常把房间弄得乱七八糟的(messed up)。set up建立，创立；given up
放弃；lit up 点亮。
小题9:B孩子们常常把房间弄得乱七八糟——到处是玩具和从沙发上拉下的沙发垫子，把电视频道调到
他们喜欢的台。introduced 介绍；switched 转换；pointed 指；check检查。
小题10:D与下文相匹配的词应该是“noise”。有趣的是，父亲对孩子的吵闹声或是叽叽喳喳声一点儿也
不感到厌烦。impression印象；alarm惊恐，警报，闹铃；expression表情，言语。
小题11:D从下文“父亲从来没有对任何孩子大喊大叫过一声”可以看出“父亲对孩子们是何等的耐心
(never impatient)”。careful小心谨慎；intelligent勤奋的，智力的；inconvenient不方便的。
小题12:D根据下文的“kisses”可以推测应该是“拥抱(hugs)”。tears眼泪水；quarrels 争吵；tricks戏
法，把戏，计谋，诀窍，骗局，恶作剧。
小题13:B do sth.with sb和某人一起做某事，在本文中我们可以理解为“与孩子们一起玩耍”。作者觉得
祖孙之间的关系还是不够好，因为父亲事实上就没有跟孩子们一起玩耍过。
小题14:C承上文的否定和下文的“or”，这里应该用否定词“never(没有)”。父亲没有读过书给孩子们听，
从来没有跟他们玩过桌面游戏，也没有跟他们猜过谜语。Frequently经常；always总是；occasionally偶尔。
小题15:A带孩子出去散步(walks)。books书；jokes玩笑；interests兴趣，利益。
小题16:C fail to do="cannot" do。hope to do希望做某事；offer to do 主动做某事；promise to do答应做某
事。令作者悲伤的是父亲没有与孩子们相处。
小题17:D下文(picture)有同义词复现，故选drawing(图画)。Dream梦想；plan计划；story故事。
小题18:A下文的““I loved EVERYTHING about you, Grandpa”就是“statement(文字陈述)”。 photos照
片；suggestions建议；problems问题。
小题19:C 很显然作者错怪了父亲，所以“我错(wrong)了”。 guilty负罪感，内疚的；rude粗鲁的；firm
坚定的。
小题20:B 父亲所做的事情对作者的孩子是多么的重要(important)。honest诚实的；normal正常的；equal
相等的，平等的。
核心考点
试题【My father died in December. He had spent the last several years in hospital, and】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
When we arrived at the hospital in Portsmouth, there were some doctors and nurses waiting for us and they immediately set to work on Freddie. I was hopelessly wishing everything would be alright, but Freddie had broken his skull in two places and blood clots were forming in his brain. He needed surgery(外科手术), and only a surgeon at another hospital in Bristol could do it. This meant another helicopter ride, but we couldn’t go with Freddie because there was no enough space. Simon and I drove the long 130 miles from our home in north Devon in silence. Neither of us dared say what we were thinking, “What if we get there and he’s dead?” “Is he going to be brain-damaged?”
Freddie was just coming out of surgery when we arrived. The surgeon said it had gone well. When I finally saw him, I hardly recognize my child—he was covered in tubes and there were wires coming out of his head.
On the third day, Simon went home to see our three girls and to pick up some clean clothes for us. While he was gone, the pressure in Freddie’s brain suddenly increased. He was taken into theater again and this time I fell apart. Luckily, the surgery managed to stabilize Freddie. After almost a week, Freddie was finally woken up. When he opened his eyes, he looked at me. He didn’t say anything, but I knew straight away that it was my old Freddie, and that he was going to be alright. Over the next two weeks, his recovery went well. After help with learning to swallow again and encouragement with speaking, he was soon playing with his Gruffalo cards and eating meals by himself.
I still don’t know how the accident happened, but we got some idea from our girls. Clearly Freddie and Minnie had been sitting on the window ledge, and Freddie must have opened it to look out and fallen 20 feet onto the ground below.
The guilt I feel is awful— for weeks I was full of “ if onlys”, and we put window locks everywhere. Six months later, although the accident seems a lifetime ago, it has changed me. I feel differently about life now. I’ve left my job to put my children first. I want to spend every minute with them.

CLAIM AL54323432–-STORM DAMAGE TO ROOF
I received a cheque for $623 dated 26 January in payment of my recent claim(索赔). However, I wish to tell you how upset I have been by the way your Claims Assessor, Mr. Michael Tan, handled this claim.
When Mr. Tan first called me, he specifically told me that he believed I had been overcharged, and he would expect to pay that price for work on a double garage, rather than a single garage like mine. Mr. Tan suggested that I neither use nor recommend this contractor again. He continued to tell me it was unlikely for me to receive full payment. Never during this conversation did he mention that the reason for not receiving full payment was because of the nature of my insurance policy.
Consequently, I wrote to Mr. Lance Ashe to complain about his pricing, stating that I was very upset thinking that he could have taken advantage by overcharging a 73-year-old woman. Mr. Ashe telephoned me immediately and explained his charges in detail. He later reported back to me that Mr. Tan explained that I would not receive full payment because of the type of policy I hold, which does not cover wear and tear. This was the first time this issue had been brought to my attention, so you can imagine my surprise.
When I received Mr. Tan’s letter of 2 February, this situation was explained. If this had been explained in the first place I would have accepted it and would not have questioned Mr. Ashe’s charges. Instead, by telling me initially that I had been overcharged for this work, he caused a great deal of upset, not only for me but also for Mr. Ashe.
I believed this claim was handled badly by Mr. Tan from the beginning. Therefore, a great deal of embarrassment has been caused over this issue.
I felt you should know how disappointed and upset I am. I trust you will look into this and ensure that such claims are handled more appropriately in the future.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Richard
小题1:The author writes this letter to ______.
| A．inform the manager of a payment |
| B．complain about a mishandled case |
| C．demand an apology from Mr. Watson |
| D．require the manager to fire Mr. Tan |
| A．Mr. Tan | B．Mrs. Richard | C．Mr. Ashe | D．Mr. Watson |
| A．her policy doesn’t cover some of the items |
| B．the contractor overcharged her for the work |
| C．Mr. Watson doesn’t take the matter seriously |
| D．she spent too much money fixing her garage |
| A．welfare organization | B．nursing house |
| C．local affairs office | D．insurance company |
My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we’d be gone an hour, then we should be gone one hour or less -- not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We couldn’t sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept - my mother actually had the courage to break the Child Labor Law. She made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace because she made our clothes herself, just to save money. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.
Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did, and miss school. Our marks in school had to live up to expectations. Our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would be satisfied with nothing less than ugly black marks.
As the years rolled by, first one and then the other of us was put to shame. We graduated from high school. With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a drop-out.
My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education. None of us have ever been arrested or divorced. Each of my brothers served his time in the service of this country. She forced us to grow up into God-fearing, educated, honest adults. I am now trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children call me mean. Why? Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world.
小题1:The author’s mother wanted her children to _________.
| A．do their best at school and be educated and respected citizens |
| B．be top students in school and graduate with honors |
| C．stop seeing her friends who pretended to be sick to skip classes |
| D．bring home colored report cards like her friends did |
| A．The author has a deep hatred for her mother. |
| B．The author’s mother set timetables for her children whenever they went out. |
| C．Some of the children weren’t able to go to college because of their mean mother. |
| D．As a parent, the author is following her mother’s example. |
| A．All the other kids at school studied better than the author. |
| B．The author worked hard and usually got good grades in studies. |
| C．Mother was punished for breaking the Labor Law. |
| D．The author’s family lived a miserable life. |

It’s been a long journey back for the brave girl, whose life was changed forever as she was on her surfboard 60 metres offshore at Binalong, Bay ,Tasmania.
Her cousin ,32-yeaf-old syb Mundy ,was surfing nearby, “Suddenly, everything went quiet ,”Hannah ,now15,recalls of the day she almost lost her life, “I look down into the water and noticed a dark shadow under my board I knew instantly it was a shark.”
As Syb watched in horror, the five-metre shark put hundreds of sharp teeth onto Hannah’s right leg,throwing her from her board, “I was attached to my leg-rope as the shark stared to pull me under the water”,She shakes, “I was lying on my back with one leg under the shark’s body and the other still in its jaws.”
Syb desperately punched (猛击)the shark’s nose and reached out to grab Hannah as the monster bit a huge chunk（大块）from the surfboard, “I was still attached to my board and was dragged back under the water again,”she says ,When she came up for air, Hannah dog paddled(爬泳)to Syb’s board and he dragged her from the water to lie on his back ,”We looked down and saw the shark circling beneath us,”Hannah says.
Hannah was rushed to the hospital by helicopter ,She needed more than 400 stitches(针)on her leg and spent two weeks in hospital.
Modest about her remarkable courage, Hannah owes her survival to Syb’s bravery and the fact that great whites,despite their reputation as man-eaters, typically don’t target humans ,After the attack ,Hannah earned the Sea Shepherd award for courage for speaking in defence of the shark “I was in his territory, she wasn’t in mine,”she smiles.
