第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列四篇文章，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

I grew up in San Pedro. My Dad was a big fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family.

When the weather was bad he would drive me to school in his old truck, which was older than he was. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch (喷出) a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!

I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, "No, Dad. "It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, “Dad, I'm too old for a goodbye kiss." My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear up. Then he turned and said, "You are a big boy, a man. I won't kiss you anymore. "

It wasn’t long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back. His boat was found adrift with its nets half in and half out. He must have gotten into a strong wind and was trying to save the nets and the boats.

Now how I wish to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek. I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.
