Question

【題目】 It was Mother’s Day, but I knew there would be no celebration for me. I was a mother of a very active two-year-old and my husband was a Captain of a Navy ship. That morning I had been up early and had already taken several phone calls from both Navy wives and other people needing to be comforted. After one phone call, I leaned back in my chair, and said, “Dear God, I am hustling to be a blessing to others, but what about me? Is there anything for me today?”

At that very moment the telephone rang. It was the voice of a little girl who said, “Miss Stephanie I’ve been thinking of you!” It took my breath away! I had known this girl from another city, but at that moment it was to me the voice of God! I greatly valued the thoughtfulness of the little one and her family who knew my husband was out. But even greater than their kindness, I felt deeply touched by the timing of the call and felt that precious voice spoke to me of God’s great love for me.

There have been many Mother’s Days since that one, but none so special, so deeply moving, so tenderly comforting. I will never forget the feel of knowing how loved I was, and that I would never be forgotten.

In the United States and elsewhere, Mother’s Day has become synonymous（與…同義）with lots of human expectations. If we’re not careful, the fulfillment of these clichés can become a false standard for feeling loved, and a heavy burden on our family. When I think of that Mother’s Day long ago, tears come to my eyes, but not out of sadness. I rejoice（慶幸）in the profound love and caring I felt and still feel to this day. This experience helps me see that love hugs everyone, and that makes my heart sing for us all!

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】B

【解析】

本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。主要講了作者在母親節(jié)當(dāng)天接到了幾個(gè)海軍妻子和其他需要安慰的人打來(lái)的電話，就在她失望之時(shí)，她接到了一個(gè)認(rèn)識(shí)的女孩的電話，女孩的話讓作者很受感動(dòng)，讓作者覺(jué)得這個(gè)母親節(jié)非常令人難忘。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的…taken several phone calls from both Navy wives and other people needing to be comforted…. I leaned back in my chair, and said, “Dear God, I am hustling to be a blessing to others, but what about me? （…已經(jīng)接了幾個(gè)海軍妻子和其他需要安慰的人打來(lái)的電話�！�…我靠在椅背上說(shuō):“親愛(ài)的上帝，我一直在努力成為別人的福音，但我自己呢?……）可知，從作者靠在椅背上說(shuō)的那些話顯得很無(wú)助很失望，故判斷出作者在母親節(jié)安慰了別人以后感覺(jué)很失望。故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的I rejoice（慶幸）in the profound love and caring I felt and still feel to this day.（我為我所感受到的深沉的愛(ài)和關(guān)懷而高興，這種感覺(jué)一直持續(xù)到今天。）可知，我們能從最后一段得出的結(jié)論是很久以前的母親節(jié)對(duì)這位作家的生活產(chǎn)生了積極的影響。故選D。

【3】主旨大意題。通讀全文以及第一段的It was Mother’s Day開(kāi)篇提到“這是一個(gè)母親節(jié)”，作者在母親節(jié)當(dāng)天接到了幾個(gè)海軍妻子和其他需要安慰的人打來(lái)的電話，就在她失望之時(shí)，她接到了一個(gè)認(rèn)識(shí)的女孩的電話，女孩的話讓作者很受感動(dòng)，讓作者覺(jué)得這個(gè)母親節(jié)非常令人難忘，由此可知，“一個(gè)難忘的母親節(jié)”可以做為本篇文章的標(biāo)題。故選B。
