　　(2014·西寧市二模)

　　One night I was sitting in my room half­listening as my 15­year­old brother fought with my 12­year­old brother Kevin. I didn't pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.

　　About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked，“Hey Kevin, do you want to talk?”

　　No response. I tried again，“Why don't you come out of there?”

　　Again, no response.

　　So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of index cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you don't want to talk, we can write notes to each other. ”

　　An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of index cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevin's notes, tears came to my eyes. It said，“Nobody in this family cares about me. I'm not the youngest, and I'm not the oldest, and I'm not talented. Tommy thinks I'm stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he's better at basketball. And you're never around to even notice me. ”

　　Tears came to my eyes again as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and I'm sorry I don't always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”

　　There was no response for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of index cards, wrote on a torn­up paper cup，“Thanks.”

　　I wrote back “For what?” It returned to me with “Loving me” written on it. Since then, I try my best never to half­notice my family members anymore. Kevin and I have closer relationship now, and sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset we'll smile and say，“Write it on a paper cup.”

　　文章大意：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了家里兄弟間打架事件對(duì)作者的啟發(fā)。

　　1.Why did Kevin stay inside the bathroom alone crying?

　　A.Because he lost in the fight with Tommy.

　　B.Because the author didn't play cards with him.

　　C.Because he felt no love from the family members.

　　D.Because he hurt himself when rushing up the stairs.

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第六段第四句“It said，‘Nobody in this family cares about me.’”，并結(jié)合對(duì)本段的整體理解可推知，Kevin一個(gè)人待在廁所里哭是因?yàn)樗�認(rèn)為家里沒(méi)有人愛(ài)他，與第七段的內(nèi)容相呼應(yīng)。故選C項(xiàng)。

　　2.The underlined word “yucky” (Paragraph 6) most probably means “________”.

　　A.unpleasant　　　　　　 B.exciting

　　C.doubtful D.frightening

　　答案：A　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章第二段第一句“About 20 minutes later，as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom.”，并結(jié)合對(duì)第六段的整體理解可推知，Kevin一個(gè)人躲在廁所里哭是因?yàn)樗�認(rèn)為家里沒(méi)有人愛(ài)他，從而感到難過(guò)、不開(kāi)心、以致哭泣，所以只有選項(xiàng)A與畫線詞意思相近，意為“令人不快的”。故選A項(xiàng)。

　　3.What could be the reason that Kevin's Dad doesn't like him?

　　A.Kevin likes fighting with others.

　　B.Kevin is not good at playing basketball.

　　C.Kevin doesn't want to talk to others.

　　D.Kevin is not talented as his brother.

　　答案：B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第六段倒數(shù)第二句“Tommy thinks I'm stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he's better at basketball.”可知，本句中用了一個(gè)虛擬語(yǔ)氣，由此可推知，爸爸希望有另一個(gè)Kevin，是因?yàn)閷?shí)際上Kevin籃球打得不好，因此他的爸爸不喜歡他。故選B項(xiàng)。

　　4.What did the author learn from the incident?

　　A.It's hard to comfort young brothers at home.

　　B.It's dangerous to half­notice someone in the family.

　　C.It's important for family members to show their love.

　　D.The best way to communicate with family members is by writing.

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第七段第二、三句“You know Kevin, I really do love you and I'm sorry I don't always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”并結(jié)合最后一段第三句“Since then，I try my best never to half­notice my family members anymore.”可推知，作者從這次事件中意識(shí)到向家人顯示友愛(ài)是多么重要。故選C項(xiàng)。
