Question

Many people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments, and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.

As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.

Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.

【解析】

试题分析：本文作者描述了自己伟大的父亲，他教作者一些做人的道理，如“要急别人所需，帮助别人，但是一定不要被别人利用”，他不断的推动着作者超越别人，这让作者总是很突出。另外，他很幽默，体贴，善解人意......字里行间作者表达了自己对父亲的钦佩和感激之情。

1.主旨大意题。根据第一段的最后一句But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.在我一生所有认识的人中，我最佩服的是我的父亲。本文主要讲述了作者对父亲的感激之情，因此B项作为本文标题最合适。

2.推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话He is a very reserved man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.，C选项中的sociable“友善的，好交际的”和文中的reserved“保守的，冷淡的”的相反的含义，所以用sociable描述作者的父亲是不恰当的；文中也没有信息显示作者的父亲很博学。故选C

3.词义猜测题。根据这个词后面的内容so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people.，因此在我们那群人中，我可以突出地完成工作。A项符合题意，即父亲让我超越别人。其他几项不合题意。

4.推理判断题。由第二段第二句话While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around.，当我长大了，我常常因为看见那些没有父亲或没有象父亲那样的人陪伴的朋友和邻居而难过。C项正确，即她同情没有父亲的孩子。
