Question

“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.

We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed Father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.

The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.

A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.

But now... I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and codes of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.

I wandered in the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.

I thought to myself: "Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"

In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his outrageous (蛮横的) words: "I can't throw you away, let alone these old papers?"

All the lights were off except Father's.

Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up (悄悄来到) in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers.

This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.

The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love---is second to none.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇文章主要讲了我和爸爸发生争吵后，我赌气跑出家门来到街上，直到街上没有人。夜深了，只有爸爸还亮着灯。我想起爸爸对我的好。我打开家门，眼泪流了下来。我意识到爱是第一的。

1.1】B推理判断题。从文章中得知我是先伤心地跑到街上去（b），然后漫无目的地在街上走（e），接着我到我住的地方，看到家里的灯还亮着（c），再想起爸爸对我的好(d)，最后我打开门走进房子(a)。故选B。

2.2】C细节理解题。根据A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space：happy and carefree.句意：一个年轻的爸爸怀里抱着一个小孩从我身边走过。我感到我从另一面看到我的童年：快乐、无忧。故选C。

3.3】D 推理判断题。根据He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．句意：他当领导太久了，告诉每个人做什么已经成为他的第二天性。由此可知爸爸常对孩子吼是因为爸爸习惯这么做。故选D。
