阅读理解 In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. A father rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.After the shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: “No matter what happened, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his promise to his son.Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging.Other parents tried to pull him off the ruins, saying: “It’s too late! They’re all dead! You can’t help!” He replied, “Are you going to help me now?” The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins saying, “Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Go home.” This loving, caring American father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”The police came and said, “You’re, anxious and it’s over. Go home. We’ll handle it!” He replied, “Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.Courageously he went on alone. He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then, in the 38th hour, he heard his son’s voice. He screamed his son’s name, “ARMAND!” He heard back, “Dad! It’s me, Dad! You promised no matter what happened, you would always be there for me! You did it, Dad!” “What’s going on in there? How is it?” the father asked.“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. ”“Come out, boy!”“No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, because I know you’ll get me!

It’s me, Dad! You promised no matter what happened, you would always be there for me! You did it, Dad!” “What’s going on in there? How is it?” the father asked.根据文章最后一段Let the other kids out first, because I know you’ll get me! 从他的回答可知他很镇定和乐观也很坚强，故A正确。4.B 推理题。根据本句“It’s too late! They’re all dead!这里的they指在地震中北埋掉的孩子，故B正确。5.C 推理题。文章中的这个父亲正是因为对儿子的爱与诺言才会坚持去就孩子。儿子也正是因为相信父亲的爱才会坚持到底，克服困难。故C与文章的主题相一致。考点：考查故事类短文点评：本文讲述了一个地震中父亲就孩子的实例，来说明爱的力量。主要考查推理题，要求考生根据文章细节，准确定位，仔细判断，
