Question

【題目】Children often suffer pain and insecurity when their parents separate.When my ex-husband and I split up after 10 years of marriage,our daughter was 5 years old and my son only 3.We decided to consult a psychologist about the best way to explain this new situation to the children.

She shared with us this special story about a land turtle and a sea turtle,which we then used to help them better comprehend.

Once upon a time,a land turtle (Mommy) met a sea turtle (Daddy) close to a beautiful shore.Soon they fell deeply in love and decided to get married.For a time,they continued to live at the water's edge so that Mommy could sit on the sand and keep dry and warm,while Daddy sat in the shallow water to keep cool.A few years later two baby turtles arrived (you both!).They were very special indeed and looked a little like each of their parents.

But as the years went by,Daddy sea turtle started spending more and more time in the ocean as he traveled deeper and deeper to look for pearls.Mommy land turtle also started wandering up into the sands to hunt for food in the woods.Little by little,Daddy and Mommy turtle started to drift further and further apart.Finally one day,Mommy and Daddy turtle decided they didn't want to live together anymore.The little turtles continued to spend time with each of their parents.They made lots of friends with all the fish,dolphins and whales in the ocean and also many friends with the rabbits,deer,and foxes in the woods.In fact they grew up to be a new kind of turtle that could live both in the ocean and on the land.

Over the years,this tale of the land and sea turtle has helped my children cope with and accept the fact that my marriage to their father was over.They know that we once loved each other very much and they were born out of true love.

【解析】試題分析：本文是一篇記敘文。講述作者和丈夫離婚時(shí)，不知道如何向孩子解釋，一個(gè)咨詢師給他們講述了一個(gè)陸龜和海龜?shù)墓适拢�這個(gè)故事幫助孩子順利地接受了父母離婚這個(gè)事實(shí)。

【1】詞句猜測(cè)題。由畫線句和上文A few years later two baby turtles arrived (you both!).They were very special indeed and looked a little like each of their parents.可知，幾年以后，兩只小龜出生了，他們是特別的看起來有點(diǎn)像他們的父母。因此可知，they指兩只小龜。故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段首句Children often suffer pain and insecurity when their parents separate.可知，當(dāng)父母離婚時(shí)，他們的孩子經(jīng)常會(huì)感到痛苦和沒有安全感。故選B。

【3】詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文But as the years went by,Daddy sea turtle started spending more and more time in the ocean as he traveled deeper and deeper to look for pearls.Mommy land turtle also started wandering up into the sands to hunt for food in the woods.可知，隨著時(shí)間的推移，海龜爸爸越來越多的去海洋里覓食，陸龜媽媽也開始去樹林里尋找食物，因此推斷逐漸地海龜爸爸和陸龜媽媽開始分開的越來越遠(yuǎn)。所以drift apart的意思是：分離；分開。與B項(xiàng)意義相近。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。本文通過講述海龜爸爸和陸龜媽媽的故事，闡述了如何幫助孩子接受并適應(yīng)爸爸媽媽離婚的事實(shí)，因此推斷應(yīng)屬于育兒方面的知識(shí)，故應(yīng)刊登在育兒欄目。故選C。
