Question

A few days ago I got a call from my old college friend whom I haven’t seen for a very long time. The topic, which was about all the good old times that we had changed to a touching story when he started talking about his father.

His father’s declining health made him stay at the hospital. Because of his illness, his father suffered from insomnia (失眠) and often talked to himself. My friend, who had not been able to sleep for a few days as he had to keep watching his father’s condition, became annoyed and told his father to keep silent and try to get some sleep. His father said that he really wanted to sleep well because he was very tired and told my friend to leave him alone in the hospital if he did not want to keep him company.

After his father finished talking, he fell unconscious (失去知覺). My friend was very sorry for speaking the ill words towards his father. My friend, whom I knew as a tough person, cried as a baby on the other end of the telephone. He said that from that moment on, he prayed every day, asking God to let his father wake up from his coma. He promised himself that whatever words came out from his father’s mouth after he regained his consciousness, he would gladly take them. His only hope for God was to give him a chance to rectify his past mistake.

Often, we complain when we have to accompany or watch over our parents for years, months, days, hours or even minutes. But do we realize that our parents keep us company and watch over us for as long as we (or they) live? From the day we were born to our adulthood, and even when deaths come to us, they are always at our side.

Imagine how sad our parents will be when they hear a seemingly innocent （天真無邪的）word of “no” come out from our mouths. We can make promises to ourselves that from now on there will be no more complaints that come out from our mouths when we have to watch over or accompany our parents. No more complaints come out from our mouths when we feel that our parents have treated us like little children. There are so many unlucky ones who have neither fathers nor mothers. They long to have the things that we most complain about, but never have them.

Actually, it takes only a second to think and light the lamp that will bring us to a place where peace is dwelling.

試題分析：這篇文章寫了作者一個(gè)朋友的爸爸生病住院了，但是他的爸爸老是自言自語，他的朋友因此睡不好，所以很煩他的爸爸，之后他的爸爸昏迷不醒了，朋友很是懊悔，每天祈禱爸爸早日清醒過來，他一定好好對他的爸爸。通過這件事，作者告訴我們趁現(xiàn)在還有機(jī)會(huì)一定要好好孝敬父母。

1.推斷題。根據(jù)第三段t from that moment on, he prayed every day, asking God to let his father wake up from his coma. He promised himself that whatever words came out from his father’s mouth after he regained his consciousness, he would gladly take them. His only hope for God was to give him a chance to rectify his past mistake.從那時(shí)開始，作者的朋友每天都在祈禱上帝讓他的爸爸從昏迷中醒來，如果他的爸爸能清醒過來，他保證，無論他的爸爸說什么，他都會(huì)很高興的聽著。由此，我們可推斷出作者朋友的心情是非常懊悔的。故選C

2.推斷題。由第三段His only hope for God was to give him a chance to rectify his past mistake.他只希望上帝給他一個(gè)彌補(bǔ)過錯(cuò)的機(jī)會(huì)�？芍�，rectify的意思是彌補(bǔ)，改正，故選A

3.主旨題。作者通過寫朋友的爸爸生病昏迷之后，朋友很懊悔之前對爸爸沒有耐心這件事，想告訴我們趁現(xiàn)在還有機(jī)會(huì)，要對父母好一些。故選B

考點(diǎn)：人生百味類議論文

點(diǎn)評：文章重在理解作者的感情基調(diào)，從全文來看，作者通過朋友的事例來表達(dá)我們要趁現(xiàn)在還有機(jī)會(huì)對父母親要更有耐心，更加的關(guān)懷這一主題，由此可見對于議論文的文章重在把握作者的感情色彩，答題時(shí)不斷提醒自己作者在講什么，作者的是在褒義還是在貶斥，這一點(diǎn)非常重要。
