Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
I remembered that when I was a little child, I used to look for Sunday of the week. Yes, I was so looking forward for an adventure.
Now, I still have a strong affinity for buses. I used to wonder where those gigantic buses finally stopped at. On sunshine Sundays, that's my adventure times. He took me to the bus stop. Time passed, while I was growing impatient, he was smiling, as he always does.
It was really not that easy to get on a bus as often as we do today. I was so worried that the bus driver would have missed us. I waved my hands so high with all my strength. I looked hopefully at him. He didn't move at all. He was still standing. It seemed that the late and infrequent coming of the bus wasn't any trouble to him at all.
He took my hand. We managed to find seats on the upper deck. I was so excited. Only sitting besides the windows made me happy. Looking at the rewinding buildings, streets and people through windows from a higher ground were so much fun. Then, he was sitting peacefully by me and whispered to me where the bus finally would stop, I was curious about what would be the next stop of our destination as much as what really means something to him.
That is me. I know now. I am all his cares. He wants me to be happy, as he always does. That's the strong bond between father and son. Childhood, naive (稚嫩) and precious, you showed me the world and the way I look at the world. I am so grateful for your presence in my life. Thanks, you are so wonderful!

2. In the second paragraph, what is the probably meaning of “affinity”？
A. Hate. B. Disappointment.
C. Liking. D. Confusion.
答案与解析　C　文间叙述了作者儿时，每到星期天，与父亲去“探险”的经受。从第三段中可知，其“探险”的经受都是通过bus承载的。每当坐公共汽车时，作者都可怕错过公共汽车。从第四段中可知，每次坐上公共汽车的上层时，作者很“excited”；并且“sitting besides the windows made me happy”。从以上内容可知，作者对待公共汽车有很强的“宠爱”，C项正确。
3. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A bus guide.
B. A student's diary.
C. An adventure story.
D. A transportation report.
答案与解析　B　通读文章可知，公共汽车承载着作者儿时的父爱和“探险”的乐趣。这篇文章最合适的出处应当是一篇日记。其他三项不合适。
