Question

When I was 18 years old, one morning, my father told me to drive him into a town, about 40 miles away. I had just learned to 36 ，so I agreed with pleasure. When we came to the town, something was wrong with the car. Then I took the car to a nearby garage to have it  37 and promised to pick Dad up at 4 pm. Because I had a few hours to spend, I decided to go to the  38 .However I became   39 interested in the film that I forgot the time. When the last film finished, it was 6 o’clock.

I was afraid Dad would be  40 and never let me drive again, so I drove back quickly to meet Dad and made an excuse(借口) 41 my being late. I’ll never forget the cry he gave me: “I’m disappointed that I feel you have to tell a lie to me, Jack. I’m angry, not with  42 but with myself. I have failed  43 I’ve brought up a son who can not even tell the truth to his own father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about  44 I have done wrong all these years.” 

Dad began  45 along the road. I begged(乞求)all the way, telling him how I drove behind him for 40 miles, at a speed of 5 miles an hour. It was the most unforgettable lesson. I have never told a lie to him ever since.

【解析】【主旨大意】文章講述了我十八歲時答應父親開車載他去城里，可是我卻看電影忘記時間，并且撒謊騙父親，父親很生氣，用懲罰自己的方式給我上了難忘的一課。

【解析】

1. 根據句意應是我剛學會開車，所以很高興的同意了。

2. 根據上句知“車出了毛病”，所以應是我去附近的車廠去修理它，其他不符題意。

3. 根據下文講到看電影，所以應是去了電影院。

4.根據復合句的結構可以看出考查固定句式結構so...that...。

5.根據文意我忘記接父親的時間，所以可以推測出害怕父親會“生氣”，故選B。

6.考查固定短語的用法，make a excuse for“為……找借口”。

7.根據句子結構可以看出考查的是not... but...“不是……而是……”， 根據句意應是“不是你為是我自己”，故選C。

8.根據上下句的關系“我很失敗，因為我養了一個不能對父親說出事實的兒子”，可以看出考查的是原因狀語從句。

9.根據句意應是“我要認真地想一下我哪兒做錯了”，故選A。

10.根據上文父親的話可知父親是要走著回家，選D。
