题目内容：

After Mom died, I began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading, “Drink your juice.” Such a gesture, I knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom“ Why doesn't Dad love me!” Mom frowned. “Who said he doesn't love you!” “Well, he never tells me,” I complained. “He never tells me either,” she said, smiling. “But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us.” Then Mom held me by the shoulders and asked, “Do you understand?’’ I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap（片）metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. I always hoped he'd ask me to help and then praise me for what I did. He never asked. His tasks were too dangerous for a young boy to attempt, and Mom was already worried enough that he'd hurt himself. Dad hand fed scrap steel into a device that chopped it as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn't feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. “Why don't you hire someone to do that for you?” Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. “Why don't you hire a cook? ”Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.

Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, “I love you, Dad.” From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.

答案解析：

母亲去世之后，我才渐渐懂得了父亲对我的爱。父亲并不是不爱我们，而是他表达爱的方式不一样罢了。

小题1:主旨大意题。文章介绍了父亲对我的爱，父亲并没有直接表达说明，但是他的言行已经表现出了深深的感情，是“无声的爱”。故选C。

小题2:细节理解题。由“Such a gesture, I knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. ”可知这杯果汁代表了父亲爱的手势。故选D。

小题3:推理判断题。文中当母亲问父亲为什么不顾一个人帮忙时，父亲说““Why don't you hire a cook? ”Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.”可见父亲更重视家人，想要节省开支。根据此选C。

小题4:推理判断题。由“Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, “I love you, Dad.” ”以及文章内容可知我后来渐渐懂得了父亲的爱的表达。故选B。
