Question

But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I' m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn't wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven' t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑釁者)，and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It's a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword (劍), and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I'm sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.

本文主要講了我對父母的懷念。并敘述了我成為教授這一事后父母的反應(yīng)。要我們珍惜身邊的親人
1.C 此題考查學(xué)生的判斷理解能力。第一段就是文章的一個引子。從孩子的信引出作者的思考。故選C
2.B此題考查學(xué)生的概括能力。作者的父母雖然去世多年，但他們在“我“心中的地位甚至比他們活著的時候還要高、第二段最后一句話是本段的總結(jié)：The values of my parents still live on故選B
3.A 此題考查學(xué)生對作者觀點的理解能力。答案在第三段It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.母親的話使我思考我死后如何還能活在我的孩子以及我關(guān)心的人的心中的問題。故選A
4.D 此題考查學(xué)生的判斷理解能力。文章第二段講述了作者成為教授之后非常興奮，急于把這一消息告知父母。但他們的反應(yīng)卻出乎作者意料。母親只是說“這下你該有空陪陪孩子了吧“我們可以很容易地排除AB，作者本來以為他的父母會感到高興和驕傲，但文中用了轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but.disappointed“感到失望”在這里沒有道理。母親為作者只顧自己的前程，不關(guān)心孩子而擔(dān)心。故選D
