Ⅳ.完形填空
There are two questions my dad asks every time he calls:"Is there anything I can do for you?" and "How's the car?" I guess he asks what he can do for me because his dad was never really there for him, and he's __1__ to provide me with the support he __2__. During my youth, in fact, he was so supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who cared less. __3__, my dad would forever be there, __4__ me on in every game I played.
His other question - How's the car? - used to strike me as a __5__ of longdistance dollars. What I now __6__ is that it is not really about the car. It's a father's __7__ of asking his daughter how she is doing. The advantage is that if there's something __8__ with the car, he knows what to do about it, __9__ if you're having problems about marriage, he might have to act Mom on the __10__.
At age thirty I rent a car without __11__ my dad's help or advice. I'm sure he was hurt rather than __12__. Though a daughter's independence is __13__ of a job well done by a father, it still implies the job is done. Many fathers are __14__ to retire. Even when my dad was overworked, he'd __15__ jump on a plane if I said I needed help. His __16__ question "Is there anything I can do for you?" __17__ that he wishes there was still something he could __18__. It's interesting: even though we're tied by blood and I love him to matter what, he __19__ seems to need a concrete function to feel he has a __20__ in my life.
语篇解读:父亲对"我"的关怀无微不至,在照顾"我"这件事上不愿退休,尽管"我"已长大成人,但他仍然寻找机会高兴地为"我"做所需要的一切。
1.A.forced B.inspired
C.forbidden D.determined
解析:选D 根据上文"because his dad was never really there for him"及下文父亲对作者的疼爱可知,父亲缺少祖父的疼爱,所以他决心把自己所缺少的这种爱提供给作者。be determined to do sth.意为"决心做某事",符合语境。故选D。force意为"被迫;强迫";inspire意为"鼓舞;激励";forbid意为"禁止"。
2.A.lacked B.discovered
C.hated D.earned
