试题分析：文章大意：为让女儿练习车技，父亲让经验不足的女儿驾着他心爱的卡车去商店购物。女儿回家停车时误将油门当刹车，导致车撞到大货车上了。父亲的处理方式体现了，他对女儿的爱远胜于对他的任何财物的爱。
22.B 细节理解题。第三段In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal (油门).由于缺少经验，她把刹车和油门搞混了。
23.D 细节理解题。第四段When I got home, my dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.当我到家的时候，爸爸把我打倒在地，开始踢我。由此可知，由于她把她爸爸的车弄坏了，她爸爸对她使用了暴力。
24.D 细节理解题。第二段描写作者听到车撞到了这件事时的第一反应：My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved?，可以知道作者担心的是有人受伤了吗？有没撞到别的人？是这些担心而不是后悔派女儿去商店。可知A是错误的。第一段It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving,可知作者是想让女儿练练驾驶技术，而不是因为儿子太小，由此判断B是错误的。第三段最后一句可知，作者看到现场时 ，女儿在哭，他是把女儿抱在怀里。I held her in my arms as she cried.因此，C是错误的。根据第一段里作者对儿子说的话，\heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won't last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won't last.\以及作者在撞车现场的表现，可以知道，作者爱他女儿胜过爱他的车。因此，选D。
25.C 推理判断题。根据这一句前面的Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of the night.四十年以后，她仍然能感受到那一夜的痛，可以知道她父亲对她的伤害一直持续到现在，这是对她心灵的深深的伤害。题目中的imply暗示，表明，B选项是直接说的，不是暗示的，因此不能选，另两个明显有错。
26.A 主旨大意题。本文前面几段是讲车祸，最后一段揭示主题：作者对女儿的爱胜于其他一切财物。I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property. 考点：考查夹叙夹议类文章的阅读理解

People think being an artist must be a wonderful way to earn one's living. Of course, there are lots of great things about working for oneself, at home alone. What I really like is that nobody tells me what time to start in the morning, what to wear; or whether I can take the afternoon off and go to a football match.
But then, I have no one to chat with when I'm bored, no one to discuss last night's match with during the lunch-hour. Sure, I can spend the afternoon doing something I enjoy like swimming, walking the dog, or even sleeping, if I choose. But the work will still be there when I do finally get back home, and it's still got to be finished in time. Unfortunately, working at home means that people can always find me, whether I’m bored or not and once I’ve answered the doorbell, it's too late——my thoughts have been interrupted. No one would dream of calling if I worked in an office, but in an office I find myself making cups of coffee and listening to friends' troubles. As they talk, my ideas disappear and I feel increasingly stressed thinking of my work waiting to be done. 61. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
