【主題語境解讀】
本文屬于“人與社會(huì)”范疇。主題群:社會(huì)服務(wù)與人際溝通。子主題:和諧家庭與社區(qū)生活。本文是一篇記敘文,主要講述了作者生命中的偶像——他的父親為了這個(gè)家無私奉獻(xiàn)的故事。
An idol is someone who we respect or love. However, unlike many of my classmates, my idol is not a film star, a famous writer or a sportsman. He is neither a world leader nor an important person from history. My idol is my dad.
Most people believe that a man should go out and work. However, when I was only a five?year?old boy, I was seriously ill and needed attention all the time. My mother and father both worked and my grandparents lived far away. This was a big problem. My dad knew how much my mum loved her job, so he stopped working to stay at home and look after me. Many men in this situation would want their wives to stay with the child, but my dad always thinks about others before himself. This made me start to respect him.
My dad later took a job and worked at night. He chose the job so that he would only be out of the house when I was sleeping. Since then, my dad has helped and supported me in everything I do. I remember when I was learning to ride a bike. My dad ran behind me and held the back of the bicycle so that I would not fall. I felt so safe because I knew he was near. I did not notice when he stopped holding me. Soon, I was able to ride by myself.
My family is not rich, and we do not own a big house or an expensive car. My dad has showed me that something is more important than money. My dad gives me his time. Although he now works hard every day and is often very busy, he always makes time to stay with me. He helps me with my homework, and plays games with me at weekends. We make and fly our own kites, go for walks in the countryside, and even cook together. He taught me that I can achieve anything if I really work hard on it.
My dad is my idol because he showed me the most important things in life.

【解題思路點(diǎn)撥】
1.根據(jù)“However, when I was only a five?year?old boy, I was seriously ill and needed attention all the time.”可知,當(dāng)作者還是一個(gè)5歲的男孩時(shí),他病得很重,一直需要照顧。故填He was seriously ill and needed attention all the time.
2.根據(jù)“He chose the job so that he would only be out of the house when I was sleeping.”可知,爸爸選擇這份工作是為了只在作者睡覺的時(shí)候才出門。故填Because he would only be out of the house when the writer was sleeping.
3.根據(jù)“My family is not rich, and we do not own a big house or an expensive car. My dad has showed me that something is more important than money. My dad gives me his time. Although he now works hard every day and is often very busy, he always makes time to stay with me.”可知,爸爸告訴作者,有些東西比金錢更重要。爸爸給了作者他的時(shí)間。雖然他現(xiàn)在每天都很努力,而且經(jīng)常很忙,但他總是抽出時(shí)間和作者在一起。可知家人和與家人在一起的時(shí)間比金錢更重要。故填Family. / Time with family. / The company of the family. / Love for the family.
4.開放性問題,言之有理即可。
參考答案:My idol is my mother. Because she is calm, wise and helpful. When I do something wrong, she never gets angry with me. She always helps me and gives me suggestions. I learnt a lot from her.
