7.Two years ago,the Funk family of suburban Chicago adopted a Chinese baby girl who had been abandoned on a sidewalk near a Yangzhou textile factory.
Last year,halfway across the United States,the Ramirez family of suburban Miami adopted a girl who had been abandoned a week later on the same spot.
Both families named their daughters Mia.It turns out,a first name and Chinese heritage aren't the only things the threeyearolds have in common.The girls'mothers-Holly Funk and Diana Ramirez-met on a website for parents who had gone through international adoptions.After a lot of emails comparing photographs and biographical details,DNA testing proved the families'suspicions:the girls are probably fraternal(親如手足的) twins.
"I was in shock,"said Ramirez,who lives with her husband Carlos in Pembroke Pines,F(xiàn)lorida."Well,now this is for real."
The Internet and Web groups revolving around international orphanages are increasingly being used to link adopted children with biological kin(親屬).The site that the Funks and Ramirezes used has a membership of 137people,with 15sets of twins and 7sets of siblings (兄弟,姐妹) whose relationships have been confirmed.
At a reunion Friday at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport,Mia Diamond Funk and Mia Hanying Ramirez shyly surveyed each other,and then reached for each other's hand.
DNA tests establish an 85percent probability that the girls are at least halfsisters.Scientists do not have a biological parent to test and reach a greater certainty,but given their ages and physical similarities,experts say it is likely they are fraternal twins.
Douglas and Holly Funk hope to bring their Mia to Miami in October.Both sets of parents say they are committed to staying in touch and often let the twins talk to each other on the phone.
12.Both the adopted girls shared a first nameD.
A.because they both came from China         
B.because of their physical similarities
C.because their US parents suspected they were twins  
D.for no good reason
13.Why did the girls'mothers meet on the Internet?B
A.To compare photographs of the two girls.
B.To find the girls'biological kin.
C.To test their suspicions.
D.To enjoy the joy of adopting children.
14.Experts are still not 100percent sure that the two girls are fraternal twins becauseC.
A.DNA tests are still not accurate enough    
B.the two girls were born in two different families
C.the DNA of a biological parent is still missing  
D.one girl was born a week later than the other
15.What Ramirez said in Paragraph 4suggests that sheB.
A.didn't believe what had happened     
B.was surprised at what had happened
C.didn't want to accept the fact        
D.was pleased with what they had done.

分析 本文介紹了一對雙胞胎姐妹通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)最終得以團(tuán)聚,其中收養(yǎng)她們的兩個(gè)母親在網(wǎng)上的交流起了非常關(guān)鍵的作用.

解答 12.D 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第一段"Both families named their daughters Mia.The girls'mothers-Holly Funk and Diana Ramirez-met on a website for parents who had gone through international adoptions.After a lot of emails comparing photographs and biographical details,DNA testing proved the families'suspicions:the girls are probably fraternal(親如手足的) twins."可知,兩位母親雖然都給女兒取了Mia這個(gè)名字,后來在網(wǎng)上交流時(shí)才發(fā)現(xiàn)兩個(gè)女孩長得很像,因此斷定兩個(gè)母親取名時(shí)是無意的,僅是一種巧合,故選D,沒有正當(dāng)理由.
13.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文章第五段中的"The Internet and Web groups revolving around international orphanages are increasingly being used to link adopted children with biological kin(親屬)."可知,國際孤兒院網(wǎng)絡(luò)以及網(wǎng)絡(luò)組織用以使被收養(yǎng)的孩子找到親屬,故選B.
14.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.文章倒數(shù)第二段"Scientists do not have a biological parent to test and reach a greater certainty,but given their ages and physical similarities,experts say it is likely they are fraternal twins."可知,科學(xué)家還沒有女孩親生父親或母親的DNA,因此不能作出確切的判斷,故選C.
15.B 推理判斷題. 根據(jù)第四段中""I was in shock,"said Ramirez,"Well,now this is for real.""可知,Ramirez一開始非常震驚,之后又說"好吧,現(xiàn)在這是真的了",Ramirez感到驚訝,但也接受了事實(shí),故選B.

點(diǎn)評 本文介紹了一對雙胞胎姐妹通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)最終得以團(tuán)聚,其中收養(yǎng)她們的兩個(gè)母親在網(wǎng)上的交流起了非常關(guān)鍵的作用.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地找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題,在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行合理正確的分析,切記胡亂猜測,做到有理有據(jù).
