In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things come to represent, in fact, what I call __21__and love.I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming tool. But he did __22__the water. Any kind of__23__ride seemed to give him pleasure. __24__he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being __25__the water, moving through it, __26__it all around me. I was not a strong __27__, or one who learned to swim early, for I had my__28__. But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and __29__those summer days with my father, who __30__ come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the __31__person not in swimsuit.After swimming, I would go __32__ his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me __33__anything I found in his top desk drawer. Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk __34__ he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his _35__. But my father always __36__and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s __37__.” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get__38__ an ice cream…A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood,; the rest is __39__.” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memori es, but __40__, in that childhood, look at us.21．A. . desire B. joy C. anger D. worryB。

分析：此题有两个突破口，第一个是“and”这个并列连接词，后面是“ love”，所以排除C和D，再结合文章开头和下文，文章开头说“在我的记忆深处，我与父亲一起做的许多事情现在仍然记忆犹新。

下文说父亲曾经在游泳池看儿子游泳，游泳之后，儿子去父亲的办公室玩自己喜欢玩的东西。

对作者来说当然是快乐的回忆。

所以只能选B。

I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming tool. But he did __22__the water.22．A. . a, void B. refuse C. praise D. loveD。

分析：根据下文“A. ny kind of __23__ride seemed to give him pleasure.”和“ he loved to fish”，当然是选love。

A. ny kind of __23__ride seemed to give him pleasure.23．A. . boat B. bus C. train D. bikeA. 。

分析：与水有关的当然是乘船。

__24__he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.24．A. . But B. Then C. A. nd D. StillC。

分析：此题考查连词。

上一句提到乘船给他乐趣，后面提到喜欢钓鱼，所以是递进关系。

But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being __25__the water, moving through it,__26__it all around me.25．A. . on B. off C. by D. inD。

分析：此题考查介词。

根据“moving through it”，而“it”指的是水，所以选D。

26．A. having B. leaving C. making D. gettingA. 。

分析：此题考查非谓语动词和几个相关动词的用法。

说实话，此题难度较大。

考生会误选B或D。

I was not a strong __27__, or one who learned to swim early, for I had my __28__.27．A . swimmer B. rider C. walker D. runnerA. 。

分析：下文提到游泳，所以选A.28．A. hopes B. faiths C. rights D. fearsD。

分析：前文提到作者没有很早学游泳，而且根据常理小孩子应该是害怕。

But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and __29__those summer days with my father, who __30__ come by on a break.29．A. . spending B. saving C. wasting D. ruiningA.：此句的意思是我喜欢在离父亲办公室很近的那个游泳池游泳，与父亲一起度过夏日。

其它几个动词意思不符。

30．A. shouldB. wouldC. had toD. ought toB。

此处“would”表示过去常常做某事。

“should”意为“应该”，“had to”不得不，“ought to”应该。

I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the __31__person not in swimsuit. 31．A. . next B. only C. other D. lastB。

分析：根据常识，在游泳池的人一般都是穿着泳装，而我父亲没有穿，所以选“only”。

A. fter swimming, I would go __32__ his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me__33__anything I found in his top desk drawer.32．A. away from B. out of C. by D. insideD。

分析：游泳结束后，作者到父亲的办公室玩。

33．A. put up B. break down C. play with D. work outC。

分析：“put up”意为张贴，搭建，为某人提供食宿；“break down”机器出故障，身体垮掉，感情失去控制，分解。

“ work out ”计算出，想出。

“play with” 与…玩。

小孩子从抽屉里找可以找到的东西，当然是用来玩。

34．A. the moment B. the first time C. while D. beforeC。

分析：此题考查对语境的理解和从属连词的用法。

“the moment”意为“一…就” ，“the first time” 第一次，“while” 在此处意为“而，然而”，表示转折对比。

35. A. fishing net B. office things C. wooden chair D. lab equipmentB。

分析：此题考查对语境的理解。

上文提到作者在父亲的办公室从抽屉里找东西玩，所以选B。

36. A. stood up B. set out C. showed up D. turned outC。

分析：此题考查动词短语的区别。

“stood up”意为站起来，“set out ”出发, 开始, 陈列, 宣布, 移植, 陈述，“turned out”结果是，被证明是。

只有“showed up”出现，才符合语境。

37. A. . fine B. strange C. terrible D. funnyA. 。

分析：“Oh, no, it’s fine .”指的是没关系的，父亲允许儿子玩办公室的东西。

Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get __38__ an ice cream…38. A. the student B. the assistant C. myself D. himselfC。

分析：此处当然是让儿子给自己买冰激凌吃。

A. poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood,; the rest is __39__.”39. A. memory B. wealth C. experience D. practiceA. 。
