Unit 4 Pygmalion (60分钟81分) Part A 一、阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2分,满分16分) A Dear Dad, Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Father’s Day cards.They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you.Yet as I selected and read,it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you. You’ll soon be 84 years old,Dad,and you and I will have had 55 Father’s Days together.I haven’t always been with you on Father’s Day but I’ve always been with you in my heart. You know,Dad,there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap.You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other. The Father-Daughter Duel shifted into high gear (档位) when you taught me to drive the old Dodge and I decided I would drive the 54 Chevy whether you liked it or not.The police officer who sent me home,after you reported the Chevy stolen,didn’t have much tolerance for a stubborn 16-year-old girl,while you were so tolerant about it,Dad,and I think that was probably what made it the worst night of my life. Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked,and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left.Somewhere along the line,the generation gap disappeared.I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together,rather like a fine wine. |
