岳阳市君山区2017高考英语暑假阅读理解技能编练【2015高考复习】阅读理解 “Ive changed my mind.I wanted to have a telescope，but now I want my dad back.” Lucien Lawrences letter to his father for Christmas written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate，must have touched everyones heart.Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldnt see the stars in the sky.When those whom we love depart from us，we cannot see the stars for a while.But Lucien，the stars are still there，and one day，when you are older and your tears have gone，you will see them again.And，in a strange way，I expect that you will find your father there，too，in your mind and heart.I find that my parents，who died years ago，still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive.I still live to please them and Im still surprised by their reactions.I remember that when I became a professor，I was so proud，or rather so pleased with myself that I couldnt wait to cable my parents.The reply was a long time in coming，but when it did，all my mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children！” I havent forgotten.The values of my parents still live on.It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors，and to lay down my life for those in my care？How many people would want me back for Christmas？Its a serious thought，one to give me pause.I pray silently，sometimes，in the dead of night，that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword，and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all，and sometimes comes suddenly.We must therefore plan to live forever，but live as if we will die tomorrow.We live on，Im sure，in the lives of those we love，and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure.If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true，there might be fewer knives on our streets today.【语篇解读】一个孩子在圣诞节对已经去世的父亲撕心裂肺的呼唤让人情不能已，潸然泪下。孩子，虽然亲人与我们两世相隔，可是他们永远活在我们心中，恍如昨天。虽然世人难免一死，但是如果大家互相关怀，没有了暴力和谋杀，世界岂不更加美好？1According to the whole text we can see that the first paragraph_.Aputs forward the subject of the textBshows the authors pity on the kidCrelates a kid wrote a letter to his fatherDmakes a clear statement of the author views解析文章结构题。第一段从一个孩子的一封信谈起，下文则动之以情，晓之以理，娓娓道来，委婉地纠正了孩子的观点，由此可知第一段在文中的作用是引出话题。答案A2In the second paragraph the author mainly wants to explain to us_.Ahow much he misses his parents nowBwhy his parents often appear in his dreamsCwhen Lucien will get over all his sadnessDhow proud he was when he succeeded in life解析段落大意题。作者在本段不惜笔墨，用自己的亲身体会倾诉了对父母的怀念之情以及父母对自己的深刻影响，再结合本段最后一句的内容可知B项正确。答案B3What feelings did the authors mother express in her reply?AProud.BHappy.CDisappointed.DWorried.解析推理判断题。作者因成为教授而非常自豪，无比高兴，迫不及待地想要把这个好消息告诉父母，可是母亲却委婉地提醒作者要多花点时间陪陪孩子，由此可推知，她很担心。答案D4In the authors opinion，the value of a persons life is_.Ato leave a precious memory to those he loves and cares forBto have a high sense of duty to the whole societyCto care for what others will remember and treasureDto share happiness and sadness with his family解析推理判断题。根据第三段第一句的内容以及最后一段后半部分的内容可推知，作者认为人生的价值在于给自己爱和在乎的人留下珍贵的回忆。答案A5What does the writer mean by mentioning the sentence taken from an old poem?ACall on criminals and murderers to lay down their guns.BAdvise parents to stay with their children safely at home.CSpend every day meaningfully while alive.DTry to keep violence and murder far away from society.解析推理判断题。诗歌的大意是“求你救我的灵魂脱离刀剑，救我的生命脱离犬类”，而且作者是在深夜中祈祷，再结合本段后半部分的内容可推知，作者引用该诗句意在让社会远离暴力和谋杀。答案D阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。 “Dr. Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?”The usual laughter followed, and people stirred to go. Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was. “I will answer your question.”Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter. And what he said went like this:“When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place. I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one, and, by scratching it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shinein deep holes and crevices（裂缝）and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find. I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a childs game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But lighttruth, understanding, knowledgeis there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it. I am a fragment（碎片）of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this worldinto the black places in the hearts of menand change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life.”1. On hearing the authors question, Dr. Papaderos_at first.
