10.It was the Year from Hell─the dog died,my marriage of 24years ended,and my house burned down.I had moved into a new rented house with my youngest son after my husband and I divorced.We'd been in the house just six weeks.I went to a dinner party one night,and as I drove home near,I saw smoke rising into the sky.I wondered whether it was my house.Then I turned the corner,and sure enough,it was my house.
My son and I stayed with a friend for a couple of nights.Then my friend Gail heard about the fire,called me up,and said,"Come and move into my house.I have seven bedrooms and five bathrooms─plenty of space for you and your son."Gail had three kids at home,but there was still plenty of room for me and my son,Sutton.Little did I know that her offer of a temporary place to stay would turn into a living arrangement that lasted two and a half years.
We were two single mothers.Gail and I spent the next couple of years sorting out a lot of things together.After we moved in,I soon began to look for a permanent place to live in.Gail said,"Please don't leave.I've never had so much freedom!"Having me in the house meant someone to help take care of her kids,someone to share cooking and gardening,and someone to share day-to-day life.She loved having me there,and I loved being there.So we stayed.
It was an important chapter in my life.We both needed time to heal from our divorces.It was a time of deeper insight and spiritual growth for both of us.Gail's generosity was more than anyone could expect from a friend.I am eternally grateful to have a friend like Gail.I'm also grateful for the lessons I learned from the fire and the other losses that came so suddenly,so fast.Much to my surprise,I found gratitude among the ashes.I was tested serious trial by fire.But,like a phoenix,I rose from the ashes strong and whole.I would not be the person I am today if not for that Year from Hell.

解答 31-35.CDBAB
31題答案:C細(xì)節(jié)題:根據(jù)第一段的句子:It was the Year from Hell-September 1993 to September 1994-the dog died,my marriage of 24 years ended,and my house burned down.(1993年的九月到1994年的九月是地獄之年--狗死了、我維持了24年的婚姻結(jié)束了、我的房子被燒毀了).可知作者將這段時(shí)間稱為是the Year from Hell,因?yàn)樗l(fā)生了很多不幸的事情,選C.
32題答案:D考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章第一句…the dog died,my marriage of 24years ended,and my house burned down.(狗死了、我24年的婚姻結(jié)束了、我的房子燒毀了).可知只有D選項(xiàng)沒有提及,故本題答案為D選項(xiàng)(注意A選項(xiàng)的家具包含在房子里).
33題答案:B細(xì)節(jié)題:根據(jù)第二段的句子:Gail and I had a lot in common.We had both been raised Catholic and our unconscious minds had been programmed the same way-we saw ourselves as good little Catholic girls who were gonna stay married forever.(Gail和我有很多共同點(diǎn),我們都是天主教而且我們潛在的意識被改變得一樣--我們把我們自己視作天主教永遠(yuǎn)都會(huì)保持婚姻).可知作者和Gail有同樣的信念,選B.
34題答案:A考查細(xì)節(jié)推理,根據(jù)最后一段中的It was a time of deeper insight and spiritual growth for both of us.(那對于我們兩個(gè)而言是一個(gè)領(lǐng)悟更深、精神成長的時(shí)期).可知本題答案為A選項(xiàng).
35題答案:B考查推理判斷,作者一年中經(jīng)歷了很多糟糕的事情,而且因?yàn)榉孔颖淮蠡馃龤Я硕鵁o處可居;后來得到朋友Gail的無私的幫助,從而安頓下來.根據(jù)最后一段的But,like a phoenix,I rose from the ashes strong and whole.(但是像鳳凰一樣,我又涅槃重生了)可知作者從經(jīng)歷中學(xué)到的是"上帝為你關(guān)了一扇門,必定為你開啟另一扇們(不要灰心,永遠(yuǎn)都會(huì)有路可走)",故本題答案為B選項(xiàng).
點(diǎn)評 本文是一篇科教類閱讀,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對 性找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案.
