I stood there listening to my father shout at top of his voice. The look on his face said that one of us had done something wrong.“Which one of you did this?”We all looked down at the step. There was child’s handwriting in chalk there. I was very frightened. I hope no one could see it. Would he guess it was me? I was so scared. When he asked me, I lied, “Not me, dad.” The other denied(否认) it as well. Of course, we all knew that one of us must have done it. But as the youngest and smallest of the three, I just couldn’t find courage to tell the truth.To find out who had written on the step, Father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. “I want each of you to write exactly what you see on the step.” I tried my best to write the words differently. I didn’t want dad to be able to tell it was me.He gathered up our paper and looked at them. “Since none of you will say yes, then I will punish you all.” I stood there and said nothing. The last thing I wanted was for Dad to punish me!“I did it.” My sister walked forward and said she had done something she hadn’t. she was punished for a month.We didn’t talk about that day for many years. Not until we were all older and I knew it was safe to finally tell my dad it was really me. I always felt sorry because of it. That was the last time I let anyone take the blame for me. I told myself, “One must see to what he or she has done.”小题1: The writer’s father was _____________ when he saw the handwriting in chalk on the step.

Answer 1

小题1:C 小题2:B 小题3:D 小题4:D

小题1:．细节理解题。根据文中“I stood there listening to my father shout at top of his voice. The look on his face said that one of us had done something wrong.”，可知“父亲”在高声的喊，说明他正在生气，故选C。 小题2:．词义推测题。根据文章大意可知作者的姐姐替他承担了责任，而受罚，作者一直深感愧疚。推测是“承担责任”，故选B。 小题3:．细节理解题。根据文中父亲说的“Since none of you will say yes, then I will punish you all.”可知姐姐父亲惩罚所有的人，独自承担责任。故选D。 小题4:．全文理解题。根据文中“Not until we were all older and I knew it was safe to finally tell my dad it was really me.”可知当时没有人告诉“父亲”真相。故选D。
