题文

I grew up with a fat dad—450 pounds at his heaviest.Every week he would try a new diet，and my family ended up eating whatever strange food he was trying at that moment.After my third­grade year，my dad landed a life­changing job in Manhattan.My mom，my little sister and I had to move away from our hometown，Chicago，and leave my grandmother and her beautiful food behind.Leaving my grandmother was far more frightening than the move to New York City.There would be no more special weekends at my grandmother’s hou，the only place I can remember feeling happy，safe and nourished (有营养的)．It was what I desired.In this new city，I felt extremely alone and lost，and I misd my grandmother terribly.My grandmother knew just how I felt—And she knew the cure.Every week，she would nd me a card with a $20 bill，a recipe and a list of what to buy at the market.It kept us bonded，and her recipes filled my body and soul.Over the years，I have grown to better understand my father’s struggles with weight and the toll (代价) it took on him and tho who love him.I have come to realize he was driven not by vanity (自负) or lfishness as much as by a deep pain.And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment (or perhaps becau of it)，as an adult I found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant.Today，my father weighs 220 pounds and is a vegan (素食者)．How he got there is a story I hope to share in the coming weeks.More importantly，food is no longer a barrier that keeps us apart，but a bridge that keep us connected.There is nothing my dad enjoys more than talking with me about dietary theories and his weight­loss victories.And now I am the one regularly nding recipe cards to my father’s hou，just as my grandmother did for me. 小题1:What kind of person was actually the author’s father?A．He was a man of vanity and lfishness.B．He didn’t like to eat with his family.C．He was more painful than lfish.D．He forced his family to eat what he liked.小题2:The author desired to go to his grandmother’s________.A．to e his fatherB．for tasty food C．for pocket moneyD．to avoid his family小题3:The underlined word “cure” in Paragraph 4 is the nearest in meaning to “________”．A．solution B．concernC．operationD．situation小题4:The author became a nutrition consultant mainly becau________.A．his father often talked with him about dietary theoriesB．he was determined to change his own daily habitsC．he wanted to study the recipes his grandmother had given himD．his childhood experiences gave him too deep an impression小题5:What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph?A．He often quarreled with his father about foodB．His father will tell him his story in the following weeksC．The most he talks about with his father is nourishment D．He often nds recipe cards to his grandmother in return 题型：未知难度：其他题型

解析

语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。作者小时候，爸爸很胖，每周都需要尝试一种新的食物来减肥，全家人都不得不与爸爸一起“试吃”，为此作者对爸爸意见很大。后来随着年龄的增长，作者对父亲也有了更深的理解，在选择职业时也选了营养师这份工作。小题1:解析：  推理判断题。根据第五段第一、二句“Over the years...I have come to realize...as much as by a deep pain.”可知，这些年来，作者逐渐理解了父亲，意识到他苦苦地与自己的体重作斗争，不是虚荣和自私，而是对于自己的体重感到深深的痛苦。由此可知，C项内容与题意相符。答案： C小题2:解析： 细节理解题。根据第二、三段内容可知，作者和家人一起搬到了曼哈顿，离开了祖母还有她做的精致美食，以致作者非常想念祖母，特别渴望去她的家里品尝美味佳肴。答案： B小题3:解析： 词义猜测题。根据第四段画线词前后内容可知，作者的祖母知道作者心中的想法，每周会给作者寄20美元，一个食谱还有一个购物单。结合选项可推知，画线词所在句子意思是作者的祖母知道解决的办法。因此画线词的意思与选项中solution的词义最为接近。答案： A小题4:解析： 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy  eating  environment...I  found  a  passion  and  a  career  as  a nutrition consultant.”可知，尽管在一个如此不健康的饮食环境中成长(也许正是因为这一点)，作者长大后成为了一个营养咨询师。由此可知，作者童年的经历给他留下了很深的印象，因此，作者后来成为一名营养咨询师。答案： D小题5:解析： 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第四句“There is nothing my dad enjoys more than talking with me about dietary theories and his weight­loss victories”可知，作者和父亲谈论最多的应该是食品方面的内容。答案： C

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“I grew up with a fat.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
