Unit 2 Poems李仕才一、閱讀理解“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回聲). 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 dont 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 fathers.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didnt 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.

Maybe he didnt 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，作者的父親一向如此，可能是由于不知道如何表達(dá)自己，對作者吼叫后，他從來顯示出同情或后悔，他做過領(lǐng)導(dǎo)很長時間，指使別人做事情是他的第二天性。這都說明作者的父親可能習(xí)慣了對作者吼叫?！癙erhaps the father had been used to doing that.”符合語境。選擇D項。4.A 【解析】觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)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-its second to none.”可知，作者一開門，眼淚就流下來了。他突然意識到原來想象中的那扇鐵門根本就不存在，愛才是第一位的。這說明作者理解了父親的愛，他也愛他的父親?！癏e loved his father.”符合語境。選擇A項。二、教材與語法填空根據(jù)教材課文內(nèi)容，在空白處填入1個適當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way 1._ will give the reader a strong 2._ (impress).

And list poems have a flexible line length and give a rhythm to the poem. Another simple form of poem is the cinquain, which 6._ (be) made up of five lines and can convey strong 7._ (feel) in just a few words. Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry that is made up of 17 syllables. And of course there are Tang poems from China which you may enjoy 8._ particular.
