阅读理解,阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

  On Sundays my father always wore that dull gray apron-the one with the race cars all over it.The ritual began after breakfast when Dad always announced: "Go ahead everyone.I'll take care of the dishes! " With that my mother disappeared into the folds of the Sunday paper.Off came the suit coat he had worn to church that morning.Up went the shirtsleeves.On went that apron.For the next hour Dad did the dishes, singing ballads like "I Had a Hat When I Came In" and "Who Put the Chow in Mrs.Murphy's Chowder? "

  I suppose it was strange for a boy's father to wear an apron-even one with race cars-but I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition.It was the last Sunday in August.My father seemed in an expansive mood as we walked home from church together.

  "Tommy, " he said letting my name roll off his tongue.My mind raced ahead of his words: The birds and the bees? A new bike? A part-time job?

  "There comes a time in every boy's life when he must take on responsibilities." This was important.I might even get to back the car out of the driveway.

  "Responsibilities? " I asked.

  "Yes.It's time you took a greater role in the household." Power tools? Boss my baby brother?

  "Starting today, I want you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle together."

  "The dishes! ? "

  "Anything wrong with taking over the dishes, son? "

  I started to say something about a man's job or woman's work, but I knew immediately that my protests would fall on deaf ears.

  I didn't taste a bit of breakfast that morning.Dad seemed in a cheerful mood and was describing a wonderful baseball game he saw last night.

  Suddenly, everything grew quiet.My sister began to clear the table.My brother was finishing the last of the egg from his plate.And then that ancient family ritual(程序、仪式)that had filled so many Sunday mornings came to an end.My father announced: "Let's go read the paper, Hon."

  "Aren't you doing the dishes? " my mother asked in puzzlement.

  "Your oldest son has generously offered to fill the position."

  My brother and sister stopped cold.So this was what my life had come to.A dark angel sat on my left shoulder and reminded me that I could hit a baseball farther than anyone in my class.I could bench-press my weight.Ask me to run through a rainstorm.Command me to ride the roller coaster – backward.These things I would do.But I could never do those dishes.There was nothing left but to refuse.

  People often say there is a special chemistry between a father and a son.He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to storm out.He had loosened his tie and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt-ready to relax.In his right hand was the old apron.

  "I want you to have this, Tommy.It'll keep your clothes from getting wet." And before I could mount a protest, he had put the thing on me."Thanks, Son.Your mother and I appreciate this."

  With that he disappeared into the Sunday paper.I looked down at the plastic.It had seen better days.I could see my dad reaching for the dishes.The dark angel flew off.Soon I was singing about Mrs.Murphy's chowder.The words came out of nowhere.And out of nowhere I knew the kind of man I wanted to be.

科目:高中英语 来源:2013-2014学年福建省高三上学期11月学段考试英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解

 

It’s common to hear the honking of horns in New York. Whoever tries every day to get more than a few minutes of sleep in the city will tell you that he could do nothing about it! Honking of horns is just one of their most widely enjoyed pastimes.

But Aaron, a Japanese website developer has had enough of it. Once, the 31-year-old man approached the open window to wait for the driver to finish honking, delivered a polite "excuse me" and then yelled " Ho-o-o-o-onk!", which suggests fierce anger in Japan. Then he threw three eggs from the window of his apartment on to a passing car honking loudly below when his patience was worn out. Instead of apologizing to him, the driver threatened to kill him angrily. So, nobly, Aaron turned to non-violence. He started writing anti-honking haiku verses, a form of Japanese poetry, and submitted them to local newspapers:

Oh .forget Enron;

The problem around here is;

All the damn honking

(Enron: a major American company that recently caused a scandal by going bankrupt be­cause of corrupt(腐败) mismanagement)

"Then this kind of chain reaction started happening," Aaron says. "All these other haiku star­ted appearing that I haven't written." Aaron’ s community is now covered in anti - hon­king poetry, written by all walks of life, ranging from scary environmental activist types to violent revolutionaries:

Patience slowly fades;

Residents store up their eggs;

That day is coming soon.

It’s no surprise that Aaron has started a website — www. honku. org — and now people from across the country send him news of their own anti - honking activities. It seems that poetry can change the world after all. Then, just recently, anti-anti- honking haiku started to appear, taped up by locals who thought Aaron should stop worrying about honking and start wor­rying about starving children, say, or war in the  Middle East instead. Aaron has an answer for that. "Stop me if this is too tenuous(不靠谱的) ," he says," but they talk about the violence in the Middle East like it' s a force of nature, like it' s beyond our control. But actually it's kind of like the honking - the violence is man -made. If we can figure out how to stop honking on the streets, I think we could learn some things that we could use on a large scale. "

1.The first paragraph of the passage is intended to tell us that_______.

A. New Yorkers have formed a habit of honking while driving

B. most New Yorkers enjoy sleeping late in the morning

C. honking noise has influenced people's life in New York

D. New Yorkers enjoy listening to the honking of horns

2.What is Aaron’s final response to the frequent honking of horns?

A. Pretended to ignore it.

B. Screamed at the driver.

C. Acted in a peaceful way.

D. Complained to the government.

3.According to the passage, most New Yorkers think Aaron's response is ___.

A. pointless

B. abnormal

C. sensitive

D. acceptable

4.Faced with the criticism of his anti-honking campaign, Aaron notes that___.

A. fierce violence in the Middle East is more of an issue worthy of concern

B. finding the solution to anti - honking is as meaningful as that to starvation

C. big issues are beyond our control while small ones are under our control

D. if not handled properly, honking may cause serious problems like starvation
