Question

Mom is usually home on Sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and I was all alone in the house. I was mad at Mom for divorcing Dad.

I kept looking at the telephone until I couldn’t stand it any longer. I picked up the receiver and dialed Dad’s number over in Bakersfield. I even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance. “You promised to phone me this week but you didn’t,” I said, feeling I had to talk to him.

“Take it easy, kid,” he said. “I just didn’t get around to it. I was going to call this evening. The week isn’t over yet.”

I thought about that.

“Something on your mind?” he asked.

“I hoped you would call, so I waited and waited.” Then I was sorry I said it.

“There was heavy snow in the morning,” he said, “I had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time.”

I know putting chains on eight big wheels in the snow is no fun．I felt a little better, as long as we were talking. “How is Bandit?” I asked.

There was a funny silence. For a minute I thought the line was dead. Then I knew something must have happened to my dog.

“Well, kid—”, he began. “My name is Leigh!” I almost yelled. “I’m not just some kid you met on the street!”

“Keep your shirt on, Leigh,” he said. “When I had to stop along with some other truckers to put on chains, I left Bandit out of the cab, I thought he would get back … I have sent out a call to CB radio, but I didn’t get an answer yet.” I was about to say I understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part. I heard a boy’s voice say, “Hey, Bill, Mom wants to know when we’re going out to get the pizza?”

【解析】

試題分析：這是一篇講述一個離異家庭的孩子對父愛渴望的故事。 Leigh的父母離異，他跟媽媽住在一起。和往常周日不同的是，媽媽外出參加一個盛大的高爾夫球賽。因為思念父親，Leigh給父親打了一個長途電話。Leigh責(zé)備父親不遵守承諾打電話給他，父親解釋說很忙，并打算晚上打電話的，沒有不守信用。在通話中，Leigh得知，他的狗狗死掉了，令他更難過的是，父親已經(jīng)再婚，有了另一個家庭。

1.細節(jié)理解題。I even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance. 我甚至記得，首先需要撥1，因為這是長途電話。故選C。

2.題。 “My name is Leigh!” I almost yelled. “I’m not just some kid you met on the street!”“我叫Leigh!”我?guī)缀醮蠛��！拔也恢皇悄阍诮稚吓龅降哪切┖⒆�！”在預(yù)感到自己的狗死掉后，我情緒有點失控。父親開導(dǎo)我，首先就是讓我冷靜下來。故選B。

3.題。 “How is Bandit?” I asked.There was a funny silence. For a minute I thought the line was dead. Then I knew something must have happened to my dog.我問：“Bandit好嗎？”有一陣沉默。一瞬間，我想到了死亡。然后，我知道我的狗出事了。從“my dog”可知，Bandit是Leigh的狗狗。選B。

4.。I was about to say I understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part. I heard a boy’s voice say, “Hey, Bill, Mom wants to know when we’re going out to get the pizza?”我正準備說自己明白時，真正最壞的事情出現(xiàn)了。電話那頭，我聽到了一個男孩的聲音，說，“比爾，媽媽想知道我們什么時候去吃披薩？“可以判斷，對Leigh來說，最壞的事情是父親再婚了。故選A。
