1.Mothers and daughters go through so much-yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all?Perri Klass and her mother,Sheila Solomon Klass,both gifted professional writers,prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their decades of motherhood,daughterhood,and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重疊).
  Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother's:both have full-time careers; both have published books,articles,and stories; each has three children; they both love to read.They also love to travel-in fact,they often take trips together.But in truth,the harder they look at their lives,the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.
  A child of the Depression (大蕭條),Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls.Starting with her college education,she has fought for everything she's ever accomplished.Perri,on the other hand,grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s.For Sheila,wasting time or money is a crime,and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury,but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
  Each writing in her own unmistakable voice,Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains,the love and bitterness,the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.Perri admits that she can't sort out all the mess in the households,even though she knows it drives her mother crazy.Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working,admit long-hidden sorrows,and enjoy precious memories.
  Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together,Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty,humor,enthusiasm,and admiration for each other.A written account in two voices,Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet(二重奏) that produces a deep,strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.

55.Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother's?D
A.They both have gone through difficult times.
B.They have strong emotional ties with each other.
C.They have the same joys and pains,and love and bitterness.
D.They both have experiences as daughter,mother and writer.
56.The word"luxury"in Paragraph 3 meansC.
A.something rare but not pleasant                        
B.something that cannot be imagined
C.something expensive but not necessary              
D.something that can only be enjoyed by boys
57.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A
A.The content of the book.
B.The purpose of the book.
C.The influence of the book.
D.The writing style of the book.
58.How are women's lives explored in this book?D
A.In a musical form.
B.Through field research.
C.With unique writing skills.
D.From different points of view.

分析 這是一篇記敘文,一對母女合作寫了一本名叫"Every Mother Is a Daughter"的書.本文記敘了這對母女生活和寫作中的快樂以及不同的生活經(jīng)歷.

解答 55.D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.第二段開頭說,Perri驚訝地注意到,自己的生活幾乎就是母親生活的一面鏡子:她們都有自己的全職事業(yè),都出版了書籍、文章和小說,每個人都生了3個孩子,都喜歡看書,喜歡旅游.由此可知選D.
56.C  猜測詞義題.第三段說母親在Brooklyn成長,在經(jīng)濟大蕭條時代出生的孩子,父母都覺得讓女孩上學(xué)是luxury;后面提到對母親來說,浪費時間或者錢是犯罪,luxury是難以想象的,而女兒Perri偶爾享受一下小小的luxury.從這些信息看,luxury不是"令人不愉快的、難以想象的""只有男孩能夠享受的",而是"昂貴而非必要的東西".故選C.
57.A  主旨大意題.第四段提到,這對母女在書中描述把她們的生活連接到一起的那些快樂與痛苦,愛與恨,講到母女交流撫養(yǎng)孩子的想法,一起享受珍貴的記憶等.從該段內(nèi)容看,這是回顧這本書的內(nèi)容,而不是寫書的目的、書的影響或?qū)懽黠L(fēng)格.
58.D 推理判斷題.最后一段說,這本書是用兩個人的聲音在講述,好比二重奏;第四段說她們每個人都用自己的不會被弄混淆的聲音在輪流講述.從這些信息看,這本書的寫作風(fēng)格是母女從不同的角度探索女性生活,而不是"用音樂形式(誤解了二重奏的含義)、通過野外研究(Perri父親的工作)、獨特的寫作技巧(本文沒有談到她們的寫作技巧)".

點評 對于故事類文章閱讀,需要認(rèn)真分析文章,歸納主題,著重分析、概括、綜合的表述能力的考查,一定讓分析在文章中有依據(jù).

9.The Boy Made It!
One Sunday,Nicholas,a teenager,went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine.In the early afternoon,when he was planning to go home,a fierce snowstorm swept into the area.Unable to see far,he accidentally turned off the path.Before he knew it,Nicholas was lost,all alone!He didn't have food,water,a phone,or other supplies.He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was.He tried not to panic.He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV.It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing.There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put.The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow.If he didn't,his bodytemperature would get very low,which could quickly kill him.Using his skis,Nicholas built a snow cave.He gathered a hugemass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle.Then he piledbranches on top of himself,like a blanket,to stay as warm as hecould.
By that evening,Nicholas was really hungry.He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn't lose toomuch water.Not knowing how much longer he could last,Nicholasdid the only thing he could-he huddled (蜷縮) in his cave and slept.
The next day,Nicholas went out to look for help,but he couldn'tfind anyone.He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave,because without shelter,he could die that night.On Tuesday,Nicholas went out again to find help.He had walked for about a milewhen a volunteer searcher found him.After two days stuck in thesnow,Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV.He had often watched Grylls'survival show Man vs.Wild.That's where he learned the tips that saved his life.In each episode(一期節(jié)目) of Man vs.Wild,Grylls is abandoned in a wild area andhas to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas'amazing deeds,he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.
