Dear Daddy,

You’ve been gone for six years and I’ve had time to think. Now I’m ready to write this letter to you.

For a long time after Mom died, I thought I liked her more because I didn’t like your attitude and I thought that her softer side was more desirable. In my 15-year-old’s mind, I thought you could have stopped my mother from drinking herself to death. Instead, you were off playing tennis and working. Later, I realized that no one could make someone stop drinking. Support is important, but at the end of the day, it is a choice. You were just doing your best.

What I have learned is that I am much like you. You taught me self-confidence. I know if I am prepared to work hard enough for something, I will be successful. This is no small thing. What I’ve realized since you died is that you were always there for me. You fought to ensure that I got my place on the Quebec badminton team that I had earned. When I got divorced (離婚), you came up to see if I had what I needed to take are of the boys and you paid off my car.

You taught me not to spend money I don’t have. I’ve always kept to that rule. It has served me well. We always had a good home to live in, nice vacations, and everything we needed and most of what we wanted.

You were not a perfect parent and neither am I. My children are much more thankful than I ever was. I am thankful that I had you as my dad. I am still Daddy’s girl and I am proud of it.

66.We can know the writer’s father        .

  A.always put his family in first place       B.didn’t understand his daughter

  C.didn’t treat his daughter well            D.died six years ago

67.The writer now doesn’t think her father        .

  A.was a good husband or father

  B.had the right attitude towards her

  C.was responsible for her mother’s death

  D.did his best to prevent her mother from drinking

68.Which of the following things did the writer’s father teach her?

  a.self-confidence                       b.to love doing sports

  c.not to hate anybody                   d.to spend money properly

  A.abc               B.bd             C.cd             D.ad

69.What can we infer from the letter?

  A.The writer’s father cared about her very much.

  B.The writer didn’t have a good childhood.

  C.The writer’s children don’t love her.

  D.The writer now lives alone.

Ever since Jerusha started her college, she began to write letters. Through a series of letters, from freshman to senior in college, she shared her life and study with an unknown gentleman, who never wrote back. Here is the very first letter.

Dear Mr. Kind,
Here I am! I traveled yesterday for four hours in a train. It's a funny experience. I never rode in one before.
College is the biggest, most confusing place — I get lost whenever I leave my room. I will tell you more later when I'm feeling less puzzled. Now I want to write a letter first just to get me familiar to you.
It seems strange to be writing letters to somebody you don't know. It seems strange for me to be writing letters at all — I've never written more than three or four in my life, so please overlook it if they are not a model kind.
Before leaving yesterday morning, Mrs. Lippett and I had a very serious talk. She told me how to behave, especially towards the kind gentleman who is doing so much for me. I must take care to be very respectful.
I have been thinking of you a great deal this summer; having somebody take an interest in me after all these years makes me feel as though I had found a sort of family. It seems as though I belonged to somebody now, and it's a very comfortable feeling. I must say, however, that when I think about you, my imaqination has very little to work upon.
There are just three things that I know:
I .You are tall.
II .You are rich.
III. You hate girl.
I suppose I might call you Dear Mr. Girl-Hater. Only that's rather unpleasant to me. Or Dear Mr. Rich-Man, but that's unpleasant to you, as though money were the only important thing about you. Maybe you won't stay rich all your life; But at least you will stay tall all your life! So I decide to call you Dear Daddy-long-legs. I hope you won't mind. It's just a private pet name — we won't tell Mrs. Lippett.
The ten o'clock bell is going to ring in two minutes. Our day is divided by bells. We eat and sleep and study by bells. There it goes! Lights out. Good night.
You can see how strictly I obey rules due to my training in the John Grier Home.
Yours most respectfully,
Jerusha Abbott
【小題1】Which of the following is NOT the reason for Jerusha to write the letter to Mr.Kind?
A．To get her familiar to him.
B．To present her thankfulness to him.
C．To share her brand-new college life with him.
D．To apologize to him for not writing letters too often.
【小題2】If Mrs. Lippett learned that the writer calls the man she writes to Daddy-long-legs, she would probably        .
A．burst into laughterB．think it acceptable
C．criticize the writerD．inform the man
【小題3】By "when I think about you, my imagination has very little to work upon.", the writer intends to tell us that       .
A．the man she writes to is dull and boring
B．she is not familiar with the one she writes to
C．it is not interesting at all to write to a stranger

科目：高中英語 來源：20102011學(xué)年廣東省高二下學(xué)期期末英語綜合測試題（一） 題型：閱讀理解

Soon Tommy’s parents, who had recently separated, would arrive for a conference on his failing schoolwork and bad behavior. Neither parent knew that I had called the other.

    Tommy, an only child, had always been happy, cooperative and an excellent student. How could I convince his father and mother that his recent failing grades represented a broken-hearted child’s reaction to his parents’ separation and pending (即將發(fā)生的) divorce?

    Tommy’s mother entered and took one of the chairs. Soon the father arrived. Good! At least they were concerned enough to be here in time. They ignored each other.

    As I gave a detailed account of Tommy’s behavior and schoolwork, I prayed for the right words to bring these two together to help them see what they were doing to their son. But somehow the words wouldn’t come. Perhaps if they saw one of his dirty, carelessly done papers?

    I found a sheet in the back of his desk. Writing covered both sides: not the assignment, but a single sentence scribbled (潦草地寫) over and over.

    Silently I gave it to Tommy’s mother. She read it and then handed it to her husband. Then his face softened.

    At last he folded the paper carefully, placed it in his pocket, and reached for his wife’s hand. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled up at him. He helped her with her coat and they left together.

    In his own way God had given me the words to reunite that family. He had guided me to the sheet of yellow copy paper covered with the pain out pouring of a small boy’s troubled heart.

    The words are “Dear Mom…Dear Daddy… I love you…”

1.The author called Tommy’s parents in order to ________.

A. solve the couple’s problem

B. scold them for their divorce

C. help them realize their influence on Tommy

D. blame Tommy for his failing grades

2.This passage is most probably written by _________.

A. a teacher            B. a journalist         C. a lawyer         D. a doctor

3.How did Tommy’s parents feel after seeing the words?

A. Satisfied.           B. Troubled.            C. Depressed            D. Moved

4. We can learn from the passage that _______.

A. the author knew Tommy often wrote to his parents

B. the author said a lot to make Tommy’s parents reunite

C. Tommy hated his parents divorcing

D. Tommy was greatly influenced by his parents

5. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. A separate family                    B. Tommy’s essay

C. Never divorce                        D. A good teacher
