Ⅱ.阅读理解
My dad is very unique because of his personality and lifetyle，For instance，he put his watch on his left hand，even though he's a lefty，and parking his car only in the garage is just his thing and doesn't change.
My father only wears suits during the week because it's something very professional and formal.He loves to teach what he knows，from teaching my mother，aunt，and sisters driving skills to teaching his kids vocabulary.Also，whenever he is asked to do something at work，whatever it is，he will always complete the task on time.
My mother buys most of his clothes，as he hates big crowds.In his house，children watch TV only after finishing all homework，which he believes is the best，because the child does his homework and still stays happy.
One of my father's main focuses in life is making sure his children grow up the fight way，like he did.He grew up with one sister in Chicago.As he got older，he got married to my mother who is three years younger than him.
My dad is an individual with numerous qualities.His personality is just very wonderful to live with.The manners he shows are so refined and probably much better than most people.I admire my father and want to be just like him when I grow up.
1．The author used examples in the first paragraph to show his father ________.
A．is a stubborn man
B．has only one garage
C．is a unique person
D．doesn't want any change
答案与解析：C　细节理解题。由本段的结构可以看出，For instance后所举的例子是为了论证第一句话所提出的观点，就是“My dad is very unique”。本题易。
2．Which of the following is NOT true about the author's father?
A．He is keen on shopping very much
B．He wants to look professional and formal
C．He takes good care of his children
D．He is always punctual for the work

C．got married at a very old age

答案与解析：D　推理判断题。由文章的叙述来看，父亲和孩子们以及妻子相处得都很好。A项没有提到；倒数第二段提到妈妈比爸爸小三岁，而不是他的妹妹比他小三岁，故排除B；倒数第二段中“got older”意思是长大，而不是变老，故排除C项。本题难。
4．We can infer from the text that ________.
A．parents could have a great influence on their kids
B．father is always the strictest person in a family
