Question

15．I left baseball，not for physical reasons but because it was my season for change．So I decided to walk away and once I did，like the vast majority of players，I was lost．It would be the first time since I learned to swing a bat that I would spend an entire summer without ever putting on a uniform．Once you leaves the pitch it's no longer you against that fastball，it is you against yourself．
So you swim around trying to figure out what young，retired baseball players do with their lives．For me，the moment was completely without the guiding wisdom of my father，who could communicate with me with just a nod of his head，but he passed away two years ago．
Since my retirement，I have searched for the next passion．It is a discouraging journey，and many players never find that next love，even though they kept looking．
Of course my father could never be replaced．His passion was writing．He left behind a body of poetry that guides me now．
I didn't stay lost forever．I found something that I wasn't looking for：a voice through writing．Writing introduced me to people who were otherwise strangers and made them guests at my table．Only later did I understand that this would be a bridge to understanding my father in another way．A way that led me to connect to a passion I didn't realize we both shared．
After my first book was published，I realized that writing was passion and even therapy（療法），but now I also thought that maybe I'd found my next profession．
Thankfully，I always knew my father was proud of me．But despite living the dream of so many Americans and reaching its highest level，I have no doubt that he would be even prouder of what I am doing with my words．Words that I can leave for my son to read one day．
53．Why couldn't his father offer him any help at the moment？A
A．Because his father had been dead for two years．
B．Because his father was busy writing poems．
C．Because his father was away on business．
D．Because his father had a head injury two years ago．
54．How did the author get over the most difficult time in life？D
A．By swimming the entire summer．
B．By communicating with his father face to face．
C．By turning to his friend for help．
D．By reading his father's works and writing his own．
55．According to the passage，the author was most likely to become aB．

Answer 1

分析 本文作者主要介紹了父親對(duì)自己職業(yè)生涯的影響；文中講到：在作者離開棒球隊(duì)，工作找不到出路的時(shí)候，是他父親留下的詩(shī)集指引了他前進(jìn)的方向；使他發(fā)現(xiàn)了寫作對(duì)于他的意義，并決定將寫作作為他今后的職業(yè)．

解答 53．A   細(xì)節(jié)理解題   根據(jù)第二段中的"For me，the moment was completely without the guiding wisdom of my father，…，but he passed away two years ago"可知，作者的父親不能給他提供任何的幫助是因?yàn)楫?dāng)時(shí)他父親去世已經(jīng)有兩年了；故選A．
54．D     細(xì)節(jié)理解題   根據(jù)第四段中的"Of course my father could never be replaced…He left behind a body of poetry that guides me now．"可知，在作者離開棒球隊(duì)，找不到出路的時(shí)候，是他父親留下的詩(shī)集指引了他前進(jìn)的方向；故選D．
55．B     細(xì)節(jié)推理題   根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的"After my first book was published，I realized that writing was passion and even therapy（療法），but now I also thought that maybe I'd found my next profession．"可知，在作者的第一本書出版之后，他發(fā)現(xiàn)了寫作對(duì)于他的意義，并感覺自己已經(jīng)找到了下一份職業(yè)；故可推測(cè)出作者今后可能會(huì)成為作家；故選B．
56．C     內(nèi)容歸納題     通讀全文以及根據(jù)第五段"Only later did I understand that this would be a bridge to understanding my father in another way．"可知，由于作者很依賴并且也很崇拜自己的父親，在當(dāng)作者認(rèn)為寫作是以另一種方式理解他父親的橋梁之后，他便決定將寫作作為他今后的職業(yè)；故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做本題時(shí)，首先應(yīng)快速瀏覽全文，掌握文章大意，并且把握作者的寫作思路；其次結(jié)合問(wèn)題，可在文中相應(yīng)位置通過(guò)細(xì)節(jié)理解，或概括大意找出最恰當(dāng)?shù)拇鸢�；另外，平時(shí)需要豐富課外閱讀，擴(kuò)大自己的知識(shí)面．
