Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight As and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as "successful" as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him than at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. Why did the speaker feel bitter about her father as a young adult?
31. How would the speaker feel when she went out with her father on weekends?
32. What does the speaker think of her father after her visit to Tucson?
选项
A、He was silent most of the time.
B、He was too proud of himself.
C、He did not love his children.
D、He expected too much of her.
答案
D
解析
问题询问当说话者青少年时为什么憎恨她的父亲。短文中提到,除非我的成绩是全A,我男朋友的父亲和父亲一样成功,我的父亲才高兴(seemed unhappy with me unless...),由此可见父亲对说话者的期望太高,故答案为[D]。
