Question

My father never wanted his children to know what he did for a living．Dad worked in Plant C．Lying beside lake Erie, it saw him in at sunrise and out at nightfall．Sometimes my mother would take my siblings （兄弟姐妹） and me to the public beach in our hometown of Ashtabula． she'd gather us round and point to the smokestacks, coughing clouds into the sky．
"Wave to daddy!" she'd shout. Four little hands would shoot into the air．I never knew what Dad did in Plant C, but during 34 years of hard work, he had surgery （手術） on his shoulder and hand．At 48, he had his first heart attack．He retired in 1993, right after the last kid graduated from college．But the damage was done．A few years later, the next heart attack killed him．
I saw my dad in Plant C only once, when I took dinner to him．That night, I looked at my father, covered in sweat and coal, and for the first time I knew why he was so often angry for no reason．
Recently my father' s friend, Toby Workman, walked me there．I knew my father never wanted me to see it．At every station, he described the job and the danger．It was like listening to a foreign language．I walked past many DANGER signs．Toby put his hand on my shoulder．"look," he said, "you need to understand something．Your dad was a maintenance mechanic．He worked the most dangerous job．If something broke, he fixed it．"
A few days later, my daughter graduated from college．I gave her the hard hat Toby handed to me as I left, and this notes: " Whenever you feel something difficult, put this on, look in the mirror, and remember your roots．"

試題分析：文章回憶了作者的父親為了養(yǎng)家糊口，積勞成疾，最后死于心臟病的故事，從中我們可以總結(jié)出一個道理：勇敢面對困難，不要屈服。
小題1:推理題。根據(jù)第二段第一句Wave to daddy!" she'd shout. Four little hands would shoot into the air．說中的4個小手明連我在內(nèi)一共有4個孩子，那么我最有可能有3個兄弟姐妹。故A正確。
小題2:推理題。根據(jù)第三段2,3行That night, I looked at my father, covered in sweat and coal, and for the first time I knew why he was so often angry for no reason．可知父親工作的時候，渾身大汗。那么應該是從事于體力活動。故D正確。
小題3:推理題。根據(jù)第四段第2行At every station, he described the job and the danger．It was like listening to a foreign language．可知當父親向我解釋他的工作和所遇見的危險的時候，這些問題對我就像是外語。說明我不能理解父親。故B正確。
小題4:推理題。根據(jù)文章最后兩行I gave her the hard hat Toby handed to me as I left, and this notes: " Whenever you feel something difficult, put this on, look in the mirror, and remember your roots．"說明我想用hat來鼓勵我的女兒勇敢面對困難，不要屈服。故C正確。
