Question

【題目】Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.

When I got older and started going to school, we couldn't watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me, though, because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake cakes. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made tasted delicious.

At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch, even though I didn’t understand what she was doing, As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs, I felt like I had found complete pleasure.

At last, my parents decided that I could take care of myself, and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.

My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my favorite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life.

試題分析：本文屬于記敘文，講述了和奶奶一起的生活，表達了對奶奶的思念和感激之情。

【1】B 目的意圖題。作者在本文中詳細講述了和奶奶一起的生活，表達了對奶奶的思念和感激之情。通過文章最后一句She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life.可知他會永遠記住奶奶。說明B項正確。

【2】A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段最后一句The day she let me separate the eggs, I felt like I had found complete pleasure.

可知在幫助奶奶烘烤的時候，我逐漸發(fā)現(xiàn)了其中的樂趣，并對烘焙產(chǎn)生了興趣。故A項正確。

【3】D 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)后半句“...I would call my grandmother for advice.”我會打電話給奶奶求助。通常只有在遇見困難，個人無法解決的時候，我們才會向他人求助。故該詞應(yīng)該表示“困難”。故D項正確。
