答案

[语篇解读]本文为记叙文,题材为个人经历类。作者讲述了成长过程中父亲对自己的影响。1.Sheshouldmakeherbed,doherhomeworkanddrinknoalcohol.Or:Makingherbed,doingherhomeworkanddrinkingnoalcohol.根据首段第一、二、三句中的Intheyearsofmygrowingup...HemadesureImademybedand

didmyhomework.Hewouldcallinadvancetomakesuretherewasnoalcoholattheparty.可知答

案。2.Igot/wascriticised/scolded.根据前面的...thinkingIwoulddefinitelybecriticised.和Asexpect-

ed的暗示可知答案。3.Heencouraged/comforted/inspiredher.根据第四段的内容可知答案。4.Theyarebothpassionateaboutactingandinterestedinpeople.根据尾段第二句Weareboth

passionateaboutacting,whichcomesfromusbeingsointerestedinpeople.可知答案。5.Heisagood/devoted/caring/lovingfatherbecausehewasstrictwithhisdaughterandencouraged

herwhenshewasintrouble.Or:Heisalwayssupportive/asourceofstrength.Wheneversheisintrouble,heisthereforher.可结合文中体现父亲品质的细节来表达。长难句原句:Wearebothpassionateaboutacting,whichcomesfromusbeingsointerestedin

people.分析:本句为复合句。主句为Wearebothpassionateaboutacting。bepassionateabout对……狂

热。which引导非限制性定语从句。comefrom源自;beinterestedin对……感兴趣。介词from后

接be动词的动名词形式,且动名词带有自己的逻辑主语(此处为宾格代词us)。译文:我们两个人都对表演极度热爱,这源自我们对人的兴趣。重点词汇inadvance预先,事先pursuev.追求,致力于competitiveadj.竞争的Passage2(2017天津春)

时“我”给他写了一封信,信中建议他把生活节奏放慢。可是爷爷的回信让“我”明白了人生
