Question

Dar and I loved to dance. It was probably the first thing we did together, long before we would share our lives.

We grew up in a small Oregon mountain community where dances were held almost every Saturday night. Dar was seventeen and l was thirteen when we first danced. He was one of the best dancers on the floor, and so was I. We always jitterbugged. No slow dancing for us; nothing remotely romantic.

Our fathers would stand along the wall and watch. Every once in a while, Dar’s dad would smile a little and say, to no one in particular, but my dad could hear, “Boy, my kid can sure dance.” My dad never blinked an eye; he acted like he’d never heard. But a while later he would say, to no one in particular, “That girl of mine can sure dance.”

Our dancing together stopped for five years while Dar was in the South Pacific in World War II. When we met again, Dar was twenty-two, and l was eighteen. We began to date and dance again. We were as good together as we remembered, and this time we added slow dancing.

For us, life is a dance, a movement of rhythms, directions, stumbles, missteps, at times slow and precise, or fast and wild and joyous. We did all the steps.

Two nights before Dar died, the family were with us. We all ate dinner together, and Dar sat with us. He hadn’t been able to eat for several days. After dinner, I put on a Nat King Cole tape. Dar took me in his arms, weak as he was, and we danced and smiled. No tears for us. We were doing what we had loved to do for more than fifty years. It was our last dance---forever unforgettable. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于记叙文，Dar和我以舞蹈结缘，最后他也在舞蹈中去世。

1.A 细节理解题。根据第二段第一二句Dar was seventeen and l was thirteen when we first danced.可知我们第一次一起跳舞的时候，他17岁，我13岁，我们都是十几岁的时候。故A正确。

2.D 句意理解题。根据前句Dar’s dad would smile a little and say, to no one in particular, but my dad could hear, “Boy, my kid can sure dance.”可知Dar的父亲在炫耀Dar的舞跳得很好。而我的父亲对此并不认同，所以在本段最后我的父亲说“That girl of mine can sure dance.”所以划线句表示：我的父亲认为我跳得更好。故D项正确。

3.B 推理判断题。根据文章最后四句No tears for us. We were doing what we had loved to do for more than fifty years. It was our last dance---forever unforgettable. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.可知在最后一次舞蹈中，我们并没有流泪，因为我们在做我们真正喜欢做的事情。所以我的心情并不难过，应该使用褒义词形容我的心情。选项中只有B项“content”是一个褒义词。故B项正确。
