Unit 4 Earthquakes
**阅读理解。

“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.
We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.
All the lights were off except father’s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any pity or any moments of regret.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love----it’s second to none.
1.Which is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. I ran out into the street angrily.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I recalled my happy childhood.
e. I began to walk about in the street without any aim.
A. e, b, d, c, a
B. b, e, d, c, a
C. b, e, c, d, a
D. e, b, c, a, d
2.According to the author, why did his father often shout at him?
A. Perhaps the father was getting older and older.
B. Perhaps the son had already grown up.
C. Perhaps they never agreed with each other.
D. Perhaps the father had been used to doing that.
3.What did the author mean by the underlined sentence “My heart was frozen on this hot summer night”?
A. He felt lonely because there were so few people on the street.
B. He felt uncomfortable because it was a very hot night.
C. He didn’t know where to go at all.
D. He had a bad cold on such a hot day.
4.What was the author’s attitude towards his father at the end of the story?
A. He loved his father.
B. He was worried about his father.
C. He was afraid of his father.
D. He was dissatisfied with his father.
【文章大意】因思维不同和观点迥异，父子俩仿佛是来自两个不同世界的人，两个人心里隔着一道铁门。

最终，作者被父亲逐出了家门。

作者负气跑到街上，游荡到半夜，无处可去。

直到半夜，作者注意到自己家里的灯还亮，回家开门后，发现父亲还在等着自己……作者禁不住热泪盈眶，终于理解了“父爱如山”的道理。

2.D 【解析】推理判断题。

根据倒数第二、三段中的“Dad was always like this. Maybe he
didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any pity or any moments of regret.”和“This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.”可知，作者的父亲一向如此，可能是由于不知道如何表达自己，对作者吼叫后，他从来显示出同情或后悔，他做过领导很长时间，指使别人做事情是他的第二天性。

这都说明作者的父亲可能习惯了对作者吼叫。

“Perhaps the father had been used to doing that.”符合语境。

选择D项。

4.A 【解析】观点态度题。

根据最后一段中的“As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down
my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love----it’s second to none.”可知，作者一开门，眼泪就流下来了。

他突然意识到原来想象中的那扇铁门根本就不存在，爱才是第一位的。

这说明作者理解了父亲的爱，他也爱他的父亲。

“He loved his father.”符合语境。

选择A 项。
