Ⅳ.阅读理解 My dad loved pennies，especially those with the elegant stalk(茎) of wheat curving around each side of the ONE CENT on the back. Those were the pennies he grew up with during the Depression(大萧条)． As a kid，I would go for walks with Dad，spying coins along the way—a penny here，a dime(一角硬币) there. Whenever I picked up a penny，he’d ask，“Is it a wheat？” It always thrilled him when we found one of those special coins produced between 1909 and 1958，the year of my birth. One gray Sunday morning in winter，not long after my father’s death in 2002，I was walking down Fifth Avenue，feeling bereft. I found myself in front of the church where Dad once worked. I was warmly shown in and led to a seat. Hearing Dad’s favorite “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God”，I burst into tears. We’d sung that at his funeral. After the service，I shook the pastor’s(牧师) hand and stepped onto the sidewalk—and there was a penny. I bent to pick it up，turned it over，and sure enough，it was a wheat. A 1944，a year my father was serving on a ship in the South Pacific. That_started_it. Suddenly wheat pennies began turning up on the sidewalks of New York everywhere. I got most of the important years: his birth year，my mom’s birth year，the year he graduated from college，the year he met my mom，the year they got married，the year my sister was born. But alas，no 1958 wheat penny—my year，the last year they were made. The next Sunday，after the service，I was walking up Fifth Avenue and spotted a penny in the middle of a crossing. Oh，no，it was a busy street；cabs were speeding by—should I risk it? I just had to get it. A wheat! But the penny was worn，and I couldn’t read the date. On arriving home，I took out my glasses and took it to the light. There was my birthday! I found 21 wheat pennies on the streets of Manhattan in the year after my father died，and I don’t think that’s a coincidence. 【文章大意】 父亲非常热爱硬币，特别是对那些带有麦穗图案的一分钱硬币更是情有独钟，这究竟是为什么呢？ 1．The writer’s father loved pennies with wheat because ________. A．when he first saw it，he began to love it B．when he saw the wheat，he thought of his time during the Depression C．when he was young，he had a lot of pennies with wheat D．when he was a child，he never got a coin with wheat 解析：考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句话可知B项正确。A项并没有说明原因；C项明显不正确；D项太绝对。 答案：B 2．The underlined word “bereft”(in Para.3) means ________. A．alone B．disappointed C．upset D．discouraged 解析：考查猜测词义。因为父亲刚刚去世，所以很难过。 答案：C 3．Which of the following statements about the author is NOT true? A．He was born in 1958. B．He went to church because of his father. C．He once worked in a church. D．He knew the church well. 解析：考查细节理解。根据第二段最后半句话，可排除A项；根据第三段前两句话，可排除B项；文中多次提到去教堂祈祷，自然作者对教堂很熟悉，排除D项。作者并非在教堂工作，所以C项为最佳答案。 答案：C 4．The underlined sentence (in Para.5) suggests ________. A．the author’s father began to serve on a ship B．the author picked up many wheat pennies since then C．the author began to love wheat pennies since then D．the author started to look for wheat pennies with 1958 解析：考查句意猜测。根据后文可知，就在父亲去世的这一年，作者经常在路边拾到带有麦穗的硬币，而且集全了所有重要纪念日的硬币，因此B项正确。 答案：B 5．The best title for the passage would probably be ________. A．Pennies from Heaven B．My father’s life story C．My father
