Question

    As we approach Father’s Day, Let’s be real about it.

Everyone needs a father to be born, but not everyone can have a father while growing up.

Some fathers are too busy; others get divorced, disappear or die.

But almost everyone should have a father image—someone who lives up to what a father should be.

A father image is a role model—someone you want to be like. He fills you with the memories that never leaves you when you grow up.

My father image was Harold, who was in his twenties when I was10 years old. I was a foster child (收养的孩子) and lived in his home with his mother.

He had dark, curly hair and always wore a beautiful suit, a shirt and a tie. What made him my role model was that he knew my darkest secrets—even stuff my real father didn't know—and he told me things no other person would tell a little boy.

Harold dressed the store windows at Gertz Department Store in Jamaiva, N. Y., and every time I went to visit him he gave me a quarter.

I wanted to be exactly like him. I even walked like him. He always called me “Kiddo”, a name I call people I like to this day.

My friends had role models like Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehring, Joe Lewis and other sports figures. I chose Harold, because he was a real person and he chose to be my mentor (指导者).

Harold, as you may have guessed, is now in Heaven ( Where else would he be?), but I think about him a lot. And whenever I have a problem, I ask myself, “What would Harold do?”

That is the reason a father role model is so important to a boy or a girl, It's a learning experience for everyone.

I guess the reason why I am writing all this is that I think there should be a Father's Day when everyone honors the person who has a lifelong impact(影响) on him. I believe every child needs just one to change his life－Happy Father's Day

【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。父亲节将近，作者认为即使没有父亲陪伴的小孩心中也有一个父亲的形象，他就是榜样，是长大后想要成为的人。Harold扮演了作者小时候心中父亲的形象，他了解作者并成为了作者的指导者。作者长大后依旧很怀念他，作者认为，只要我们记得影响我们终身的人就应该有父亲节。每个小孩也需要这么一个人改变他的人生---父亲节快乐！

1.细节理解题。由文中的“My friends had role models like Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehring, Joe Lewis and other sports figures. I chose Harold, because he was a real person and he chose to be my mentor (指导者).”可知，虽然很多朋友的行为榜样是运动明星，但是他的行为榜样是Harold，真实的人。所以作者并不是认为父亲形象应该是运动明星。所以选项C描述不正确。故选C。

2.推理判断题。由第十段中的“My friends had role models like Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehring, Joe Lewis and other sports figures.（我朋友的行为榜样有Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehring, Joe Lewis和其他一些运动明星）”可知，Joe DiMaggio可能是一名运动明星。故选B。

3.细节理解题。文中“Harold, as you may have guessed, is now in Heaven ( Where else would he be?)”中，in the Heaven是指Harold去世了，因为Heaven不是真实存在的地方。故选C。

4.推理判断题。从文中的“I wanted to be exactly like him. I even walked like him.（我想变成和他一样的人。我甚至像他一样走路）”、“I think about him a lot（我很想他）”以及“And whenever I have a problem, I ask myself, “What would Harold do?”（我遇到问题时，我就问自己，要是Harold会怎么做？）”可知，作者对Harold是崇拜、欣赏之情，是积极的态度。A. Love.爱；B. Respect.尊敬；C. Miss.想念；D. Hate讨厌。而选项D是一个消极的负面词汇。故选D。
