答案

小题1:A小题2:D小题3:B小题4:C

解析

文章回忆了作者的父亲为了养家糊口，积劳成疾，最后死于心脏病的故事，从中我们可以总结出一个道理：勇敢面对困难，不要屈服。小题1:推理题。根据第二段第一句Wave to daddy!" she'd shout. Four little hands would shoot into the air．说中的4个小手明连我在内一共有4个孩子，那么我最有可能有3个兄弟姐妹。故A正确。小题2:推理题。根据第三段2,3行That night, I looked at my father, covered in sweat and coal, and for the first time I knew why he was so often angry for no reason．可知父亲工作的时候，浑身大汗。那么应该是从事于体力活动。故D正确。小题3:推理题。根据第四段第2行At every station, he described the job and the danger．It was like listening to a foreign language．可知当父亲向我解释他的工作和所遇见的危险的时候，这些问题对我就像是外语。说明我不能理解父亲。故B正确。小题4:推理题。根据文章最后两行I gave her the hard hat Toby handed to me as I left, and this notes: " Whenever you feel something difficult, put this on, look in the mirror, and remember your roots．"说明我想用hat来鼓励我的女儿勇敢面对困难，不要屈服。故C正确。点评：答题前一定要读懂全文，弄清文章要表达的思想，注意前后段落之间的关系。答题中，一定要认真分析，进行推理。

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：

一、文章特点： 生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。二、解题技巧：针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
