【正文】 。 Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn39。t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are pared. Typically, the original message has changed. That39。s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen to improve on it, stamping(打上標(biāo)記) it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know. This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another。 and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.（1）According to the passage, what situation may passive learning occur in?

Two of our grandchildren were able to join us. Having precelebrated my Father39。s Day and it being on our minds, my wife asked this question only this morning: Do you remember anything about your father? While this subject had e up before, however, the question had not been put so bluntly(直率的). I answered No. My only memory is of the few photos outside. You see, my father died when I was only four years old. Many people have lost their father early in life and it is easy to feel somewhat sorry for having to deal with such a situation, especially when the death has occurred when you are at an early age. On reflection, I think I do not remember anything because he passed away when he was a member of the Royal Australian Air Force. He was a Corporal(下士) doing land based duties, however, a medical condition took his life. It was 1942. The 2nd World War was in full battle and Australia was being attacked. My Mum and I with my younger brother, were living with my grandparents and I can only imagine the emotional circumstances that existed in the household at that time. Probably not something that would leave a memory. What I would like to say at this time, as the question is often asked, What did you learn from your father? The thing I learnt from his passing, at the age of 28, is a love of life. What I do remember is growing up wondering if I would live to his age, and after I did, thinking each year the bonus(津貼) of life I had been blessed with when pared to my father. I have sometimes felt disappointment in not knowing my father but life has moved on. However, can I say to those who do have fathers, celebrate today with him and return him all the love and happiness he has given to you.（1）Why did the author answered No in Para 4? didn39。t want to talk about his father. father died when he was very young. was much disappointed in his father. was no photo of his father left.（2）What do we know about the author? is the only child of his parents. father died of a medical condition. remembered quite a lot about his father. lived with his parents during World War II.（3）The father39。s passing makes the author____. the love of his own life. to live longer than his father. very disappointed all the time. to get more bonus from life.（4）What is the author mainly talking about in this passage? father39。s life. Father39。s Day. fatherless childhood. father39。s influence.【答案】 （1）B（2）B（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，作者講述了父親的離世對自己的影響——讓他認(rèn)識到了自己生命中的愛。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的You see, my father died when I was only four years old.可知，作者回答說不記得關(guān)于父親的事情了是因為父親在作者很小的時候就離世了，故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的however, a medical condition took his life.
