【篇章导读】我父亲因帮助在交通事故中受伤的人没能按时参加商业会谈，导致公司遭受了损失，但是他不后悔。

父亲助人为乐的精神并没有改变，如果同样的事情发生，他还是会去帮助别人的。

【答案解析】

1.D。

细节理解题。

第四段中信息Theunexpectedthinghappenedwhenmyfathertriedtogoawayforthe8o’clockmeeting.事故了生在早上。

2.B。

词义理解题。

第三段中信息Noonewashelpingtheman.Theywerepassingbyintheircarstolookathimandthendrivingon.可知apathy是“冷漠，漠不关心”的意思。

3.A。

细节理解题。

第四段中信息Ifthestrangerdied,myfathermightbethoughttobethemurderer.Hewasfeelingverynervousbecausehedidn’tknowwhatwasgoingtohappentothestranger.可知答案。

4.Ｂ。

推理判断题。

根据最后一段信息Thatmorningmyfather’sabsence（缺席）fromthetradetalkcausedalargeloss,buthetoldmehedidn’tregret.可知如果同样的事情发生，他还是会去帮助别人的。

【难句分析】

1.Myfathertookhimtothenearesthospital,fearingthatthestrangercoulddiebecausehewaslosingsomuchblood.该句为主从复合句，句中becausehewaslosingsomuchblood为原因状语从句，fearingthatthestrangercoulddie为现在分词做状语。

句意：

我的父亲带他到附近的医院，担心陌生人会死亡，因为失去那么多的血。

2.Hefelthappybecausehehadsavedaperson,butatthesametimehefeltnervousbecauseifthestrangerhaddied,hewouldhavebeeninbigtrouble.该句为主从复合句，句中but连接表示转折的两个分句，以第一个分句中because引导原因状语从句，第二个分句中because引导另一个原因状语从句，该从句中ifthestrangerhaddied为条件状语从句。

句意：

他感到高兴，因为他曾救过一个人，但同时他感到紧张，因为如果这个陌生人都死了，他就麻烦了。
