Question

【題目】

Night after night, she came to make me comfortable in bed, even long after my childhood years. Following her daily habit, she'd bend down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead(額頭).

I don't remember when it first started annoying(使人惱怒的) me— her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt rough(粗糙的) against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, "Don't do that anymore —your hands are too rough!" She didn't say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that expression of her love.

Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mother's hands, missed her goodnight kiss on my forehead. Sometimes it seemed very close, sometimes far away. But always it existed, in the back of my mind.

Well, the years have passed, and I'm not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family. She's been our doctor, reaching for the medicine to calm a young girl's stomach or help with the boy's injured knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world... washes blue jeans more carefully than I can...

Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special days, I spend the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a hand run across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.

In my memory, for the thousandth time, I remembered the night my young voice complained, "Don't do that anymore — your hands are too rough!" Catching Mom's hand in hand, I cried out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she'd remember, as I did. But Mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten — and forgiven (原諒)— long ago.

That night, I fell asleep with a new understanding for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

【解析】

本文主要講述了小時候母親粗糙的手梳理我的頭發(fā)，由于我的不懂事竟然對著她吼，后來長大后，作者意識到就是這粗糙的手支撐著整個家庭。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。由文中“I don't remember when it first started annoying(使人惱怒的) me— her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt rough(粗糙的) against my young skin.”媽媽粗糙的手撥開我的頭發(fā)，讓我很惱怒，故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。由文中最后一段可知，媽媽一個吻之后，我就理解她的體貼的雙手，并且的我愧疚也消散了，故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。由文中“She's been our doctor, reaching for the medicine to calm a young girl's stomach or help with the boy's injured knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world... washes blue jeans more carefully than I can...”可知媽媽為我們療傷，做飯和洗衣服，沒有以一個吻結(jié)束這一天，故選D。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。Guilty內(nèi)疚的；gentle溫柔的；careless粗心的；silent安靜的。由文中 “I fell asleep with a new understanding for my gentle mother”可知，媽媽是溫柔的，故選B。

對于不是故事型的文章，同學(xué)們可以先泛讀全文，然后根據(jù)后面每個小題的問題找出答案所在的段落，一定要找到原句原段才是做題的關(guān)鍵。
