4.It was Saturday morning.I heard loud noises of moving furniture in thenext room.I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of hisown.I remember my own feelings when I was 13.I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy (私人空間)when he was sharing a room with his younger brother,Robot.He said,"Mum,can I have a room of my own?I could use Jeff's.He won't mind."
It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest.But would he mind?The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks.As close as we were,though,the time came when Jeff needed a doorbetween Us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family.I no longer could or should know everything about him.
It turned out that getting Jeff permission was easy.He said,"Of course,Mum,it would be selfish of me to hold on to it"Then his vcce softened,"Mum,I won't be living at home again-you know that."Behind his glasses,his eyes were lit with all the love.There were no door closed here-they had all opened up again.
As John and I were cleaning the room,I fixed my eyes on Jeff's things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever.I looked at the room and,in my heart,I let it go.To hold on would be,as Jeff said,seifish.Now it was time for John,shouldering through the door,his eyes bright with promise of indepenence,to disappear behind the door,It was time for letting go to happen again.

分析 文章主要講了隨著孩子大學(xué)畢業(yè),要離開父母獨立生活.作為責(zé)任心很強的父母,我們努力培養(yǎng)孩子們的獨立性.可是一旦他們有了獨立性,當(dāng)你站在關(guān)上的門外邊看著光禿禿的門板時,心里總是有那么一點不安.但是我們還是接受了這個事實-至少可以說我們這么做了.養(yǎng)育兒女實際上就是一個逐步撒手放手的過程.
解答 24.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第一段中的"I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own…I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy (私人空間) when he was sharing a room with his younger brother,Robot"可知,John渴望得到自己的一個房間.故B選項正確.
25.C.句意理解題.由第二段中的"As close as we were,though,the time came when Jeff needed a door between us.His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family.I no longer could-or should-know everything about him"可知,作者意識到自己的孩子長大了.他的生活空間已經(jīng)超出了家庭的范圍.作者不應(yīng)該再過問孩子所有的事情了.故可推知,孩子有自己的隱私權(quán).故C選項正確.
26.C.推理判斷題.由文章可知,作者不舍得孩子搬出去獨立,但作者同時明白不讓孩子獨立是一種自私的表現(xiàn),故面對孩子們的獨立,作者的心情非常的復(fù)雜.C選項切題.
27.D.推理判斷題.由第二段中的"The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks"可知,作者非常懷念和孩子在一起的日子,所以在孩子要搬出去,獨立生活時,作者非常的不舍.故D選項正確.
點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
