【答案】4.D5.C6.D7.B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。
文章讲述了作者的父亲虽然出身穷苦人家很早就辍学了,但重视学习和教育,要求家人们每天在晚饭时分享今日所学的知识,这一习惯对作者影响深远。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。
根据第一段第一句“Papa,asasonofadirt-poorfarmer,leftschoolearlyandwenttoworkinafactory,foreducationwasfortherichthen.”可知,作者的父亲早早辍学就是因为家中贫穷,那时的教育只有富人才能享受得起。
故选D项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。
根据第二段划线词所在句"Wewouldtalkaboutthenewsoftheday;nomatterhowinsignificant,itwasnevertakenlightly.M可知,每天作者一家人会谈论今日见闻,不论有多么不值一提,都会被认真对待,显然这里的it指代的就是thenewsoftheday„故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。
根据最后一段中“TheywereimpartingwhatPapahadknownallalong一thevalueofcontinuallearning.Histechniquehasservedmewellallmylife.”可知,作者父亲传递的坚持学习的思想,让作者在自己的教室生涯乃至一生中都受益匪浅,可见作者对父亲的教育理念是心存感激的。
故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。
根据第一段最后一句"Hewasdeterminedthatnoneofhischildrenwouldbedeniedaneducation."禾口第二段第一句"Thus,Papainsistedthatwelearnatleastonenewthingeachday.”可知,作者的父亲决心让自己的孩子接受教育,并且坚持终身学习的理念,B选项“一个坚持让子女接受教育的父亲”符合文意。
故选B项。
【点睛】词义猜测题是阅读理解中常见的一种题型,要求考生准确理解文中某些关键单词或词组的含义,包括对超纲词义的推断以及熟词生义的猜测,需要通过上下文得出其在特定场合的含义。
猜测词义的方法一般有以下几种:
1.通过构词法(派生、合成、转化)猜测。
2.通过已有的同义词或反义词猜测,即在上下文找出该生词的其他表示方法,由此推断其含义。
3.通过同位语猜测。
4.通过解释性的词语,如thatis,thatistosay,inotherwords等,以及标点符号,如破折号、括号等引出的对该词的解释性词、句猜测。
5.通过具体语境中体现出来的某种关系,如因果关系、转折关系等进行猜测。
第2小题的指代猜测就是结合语境在前句中找出对应的指代对象,由此作出了判断。
