17、tion的意思是“吸引我的注意力”，即当我长成少年，其他一些事情吸引了我的注意力。3B 根据第二段第二句话中的friends可知答案。4C devote.to是固定搭配，意思是“投入做某事”，即我为什么要花费整个星期日和他骑车啊。waste sth.on浪费在某事上。5A 当我表现出冷漠时，父亲也不吱声。keep silent保持沉默。6B in case意思是“以防(万一)”。当他计划自行车旅行的时候总会让我知道，万一我也想去。7A (be) in low spirits是固定短语，意思是“情绪低落”。由空后“我的两个朋友去看电影却没叫我”可知答案。8C 父亲进了我的房间。 9A 根据前面内
18、容可知，此处指父亲问我是否去骑车。10D 因为我情绪低落，因此父亲跟我说话时，我不耐烦地喊道(shouted)：“让我一个人待着。”11B 根据本段第一句话可知，这时候是早晨。12C 警查打电话通知(inform)我们，说父亲出了交通事帮。其他几项不合题意。convince表示“说服”；remind提醒；phone打电话，与前面的called重复。13A eventually最后；generally一般地；strictly严格地；broadly概括地。根据语意“几天后父亲才最终开口说话”可知，A项正确。14B 我轻轻地抓住父亲的手，害怕弄疼他。15D mean表示“指的是，意思是”，即作者向父
19、亲解释自己对父亲说“对不起”的原因。这句话的意思是：我指的是我那天(早上)对你说的话。16C 父亲的意思是“我记不得那天(早上)的事情了”。17D manage a smile的意思是“强作微笑”，符合语意。18B 我从来没有想到过让父亲将我单独留下。19D 语言有不可估量的力量。由下文.to choose our words可知答案。20C power在这里的意思是“权利”，即每个人都有权选择自己要说的话(作者打算以后更加注意自己说的话)。第五题: 阅读理解：AA child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to
