Question

【題目】 My dad was a son of a poor farmer and had to leave school early and worked in a factory. Education was for the rich at that time. So the world became his school He read everything he could get, listen to the town elders and learned about the words outside his tiny town. He usually said. "Though were born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. " He decided that none of his children would refuse an education.

So Dad asked us to learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, we all followed the request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned.

“ Felecia,” he 'd say, "tell me what you learned today. "

“I learned that the population of Nepal is..."

“The population of Nepal. Hmm, well…" he'd say. “Get the map and let’s see where Nepal is. "And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.

This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least six such facts.

As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together and taking part in one another’s education. And by listening to us and giving us a sense(尊嚴(yán)) , Dad no doubt influenced us most.

Later, I studied with some famous educators. They taught what I had learnt from Dad---the value of continual learning. And this has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been was though I can never tell whether knowing the population of Nepal might be really useful.

【解析】

這篇短文中作者介紹了他的父親對(duì)他的影響，他的父親沒(méi)有受過(guò)太多學(xué)校的教育，所以他對(duì)自己孩子們的教育特別重視，他要求孩子們每天都要學(xué)習(xí)一件新東西。長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的這種堅(jiān)持對(duì)作者受益終生。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文開頭My dad was a son of a poor farmer and had to leave school early and worked in a factory. Education was for the rich at that time.可知，作者的爸爸出生在一個(gè)貧窮的農(nóng)民家庭，很早就輟學(xué)工作了。由此可知他的父親很早就輟學(xué)的原因是家庭貧困，故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段So the world became his school He read everything he could get, listen to the town elders and learned about the words outside his tiny town.可知，作者的父親離開學(xué)校后，這個(gè)世界就成了他的學(xué)校，他讀他能讀到的所有書、聽鎮(zhèn)上的長(zhǎng)者說(shuō)話、了解小鎮(zhèn)以外的消息。由此可知應(yīng)選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned以及最后Later, I studied with some famous educators. They taught what I had learnt from Dad---the value of continual learning可知，每天晚上晚餐時(shí)間分享他們所學(xué)習(xí)到的東西，后來(lái)作者知道了這是不斷學(xué)習(xí)的價(jià)值。由此可知應(yīng)選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文意和短文第七段中And by listening to us and giving us a sense(尊嚴(yán)) , Dad no doubt influenced us most.可知，作者認(rèn)為他的父親對(duì)他們?cè)诮逃�方面的影響很大。故�?yīng)選B。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第六段This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least six such facts可知，在晚餐時(shí)，家里的每個(gè)人都要分享他們所學(xué)到的東西。故應(yīng)選C。
