Question

【題目】 Daddy wanted a boy. He was so disappointed when I was born. He never tried to hide his feelings from me. He had hoped a boy would help him with the farm and eventually（最終）step into his shoes, But a girl......

I tried to do everything just to please Daddy. I got up early to help with the housework. I went home straight as from school. But he didn't seem to be moved by that at all.

The year I turned thirteen was the 100th birthday of our town. The town council decided to hold a parade（游行）, and they wanted a young lady to lead the parade. The families in the area were asked to send pictures of their children. Every parent in the area hoped that their daughter would be chosen, every parent except Daddy.

Mommy sent in a picture of me without telling me. i was always so busy being the boy Daddy wanted, and I never considered having the chance to lead the parade So it was quite a surprise when the town council stopped by one evening to tell us I'd been chosen. Mommy was thrilled. As I expected, Daddy showed no interest in the matter.

The day of the big parade finally arrived. I was dressed in a beautiful white dress. At first I felt shy— I'd hardly ever worn dresses. But Soon I felt like a princess（公主）in a fairy tale.

As the parade passed down the main street of our town, I saw Mommy and Daddy standing on the side. Mommy was waving an American flag. But Daddy...... well, he was just smiling! As I passed him. I thought I saw tears in his eyes. At that moment, I knew I had finally gained his admiration（贊賞）—not as a replacement, but as the young lady I really was.

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中Daddy wanted a boy. 和He had hoped a boy would help him with the farm and eventually（最終）step into his shoes,可以知道父親想要個(gè)男孩，男孩可以幫助他打理農(nóng)場(chǎng)。C項(xiàng)表達(dá)符合此意。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中I tried to do everything just to please Daddy. 可知道作者試著做一切只是為了取悅爸爸。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Every parent in the area hoped that their daughter would be chosen, every parent except Daddy.和As I expected, Daddy showed no interest in the matter.可知他對(duì)它不感興趣，也不注意它。故選C。

【4】詞義猜測(cè)題。Surprised驚奇的；Excited興奮的，激動(dòng)的；Bored無(wú)聊的；Doubtful難以預(yù)測(cè)的。根據(jù)文中So it was quite a surprise when the town council stopped by one evening to tell us I'd been chosen. 可知我被選中時(shí)，這是一個(gè)相當(dāng)令人驚訝的事情。媽媽應(yīng)該是非常興奮的。故選B。

【5】最佳標(biāo)題題。You Are Always the Best你總是最好的；Every Girl Can Be a Princess每個(gè)女孩都可以成為公主；An Important Parade in Our Town我們鎮(zhèn)上的一次重要游行；Gain My Father's Love獲得我父親的愛(ài)。通讀全文，可知作者的父親期初由于想要個(gè)男孩，所以忽視了對(duì)她的愛(ài)，她做了很多努力都想讓父親認(rèn)可自己，經(jīng)過(guò)游行的事情后，父親認(rèn)可了女兒。D項(xiàng)符合主旨。故選D。
