高考提能练(一)必修1Unit 1Friendship.阅读理解A (2021太原市高三年级模拟试题一)I sent a message to my sister at 12：30 pm during my lunch to ask her about my fathers progress.He was having his second knee surgery and my expectations were the same as the previous successful surgery.My brother picked me up from school and we headed for the hospital.When we arrived at the hospital，my first question was “How is he doing？” My father was connected to a breathing machine and his face was very swollen.I tried my best not to cry because I was supposed to interpret for him what was happening as the nurses did not speak Spanish.I had never seen my father this way.He looked so fragile and different from the strong man I knew.I asked him how he was feeling and he said he was fine.I returned to the lobby and I was in a state where I realized that my hero，best friend，and loved one in life was in a dangerous state and at that point anything could happen.I recalled what happened when I was a child.“Im going to the store”was always his words，and that was without doubt my cue to follow him.We would walk to the car，and sometimes if I was lucky，I got away with sitting in the front seat.We would arrive at the store and he always said “Get whatever you want and something for Ana”；Ana is my sister.My dad and I were best friends.He never showed preference with his children，but I just always happened to follow him.It was okay for me to cry when I wanted something because I was his youngest girl，he couldnt say no to me.All along my father had dedicated his life to giving us the best.Growing up does not necessarily mean that one must distance oneself from his parents because it is childish；it is time to take action and embrace the feelings because it is the right thing to do.Life presents us with signals to acknowledge and value what is the most important in life.语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。作者的父亲进行了第二次膝盖手术，她在医院里看到虚弱的父亲已不再是印象中那个强壮的人，于是意识到自己人生中的英雄、最好的朋友以及最爱的人正处于危险的境地，在那个时刻任何事都有可能发生。然后作者回想起小时候父亲陪伴自己成长的点点滴滴，并深刻地认识到：长大成人不一定意味着要疏远父母，而是要珍视和他们之间的感情。1How was the authors father when she arrived at the hospital?AHe was dangerously weak.BHe was worried about his life.CHe remained healthy and strong.DHe was unconscious and couldnt speak.A考查细节理解。根据第二段的内容，特别是“He looked so fragile and different from the strong man I knew”和尾句“I returned to the lobby.at that point anything could happen”可知，当作者赶到医院时，她的父亲很虚弱，正处于危险的状态，故A项正确。2How did the author feel after knowing her fathers situation?A.Sympathetic.
