题型:不详难度:来源:
All her life,my mother wanted busy children.It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy. You could turn your back for a moment in my mother’s house,leave a half-written letter on the dining room table,a magazine open on the chair,and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged,”as she explained. My wife,one of her first visits to my mother’s house,placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink.When she returned,she found the packet had been removed.Confused(疑惑的),she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits,only to return to find that her drink had disappeared.Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks,so as not to make water rings on the end tables.Now she knows better. These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family.We were all inclined to(有……的倾向) forgetfulness,and it was common for one of us,upon returning from the bathroom,to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly.“Do you remember what I was doing?”was a question frequently asked,but rarely answered. Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows,and my brother does the cleaning in his house,perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet.I try not to think about it too much,but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week. We have all become busy persons. 小题1:Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?A.She enjoyed removing others’ drinks. | B.She became more and more forgetful. | C.She preferred to do everything by herself. | D.She wanted to keep her house in good order. | 小题2:My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother’s house because _______.A.she had already finished them | B.my mother had taken them away | C.she forgot where she had left them | D.someone in my family was holding them | 小题3:The underlined part in the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister _______.A.is happy to clean windows | B.loves to clean used windows | C.is fond of clean used windows | D.likes clean windows as my mother did | 小题4:This passage mainly tells us that _______.A.my mother often made us confused | B.my family members had a poor memory | C.my mother helped us to form a good habit | D.my wife was surprised when she visited my mother |

答案
小题1:D 小题2:B 小题3:D 小题4:C |
解析
小题1:这是一道推断题。根据第一段“It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.”可知(母亲)希望她的房子整天保持清洁有序。 小题2:这是一道推理题。根据第二段可知如果你把读了一半的书放在椅子上走开,母亲会把书放回原位,所以“我妻子”找不到饼干是母亲把它拿走放回去了。 小题3:这是一道推理题。根据后面半句“and my brother does the cleaning in his house.”可以推断出这句话是说我妹妹在妈妈的影响下也开始喜欢干净明亮的窗户了。 小题4:这是一道主旨题。本文主要讲述了母亲喜欢干净整洁,在她的影响下,我们全家都养成了这个好习惯。 |

A week ago, I read When Money Talks, Listen! by Rich Ezzo. It took only about an hour to read, and that included one trip to the coffee maker and about 10 distractions (分心)from Alex, our cat, who thinks he is the center of the universe. When I first received a copy, I thought it was a get-rich-quick type of publication. There is nothing wrong with that kind of book, but my mind just doesn’t chase after dreams of wealth. I figure that if God ever wants me to be rich, he knows where to find my purse. When I began reading When Money Talks, Listen!, I was overjoyed to find that Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry either. He, too, is hungry for things far more important than money. I absolutely love this e-book. Why did I wait a week to write the review ? simple. I wanted to see if the impact it had on me could keep up. After reading the last word of the e-book, I totally agreed with the subtitle(副标题)which promised to forever change the way we thought about money. I had so many thoughts running around my mind that I had to install a stop light to stop some while others made their way into the picture. I had a mental traffic jam, which only goes to show how slow the traffic usually is. It has been a week and the impact is the same. I guarantee this is an e-book you’ll want to read. I urge you to visit the author’s website, MysterMoney. Com, and to download the e-book. You won’t regret it. 小题1:What’s the purpose of the passage?A.to strongly recommend an e-book | B.to show the author’s attitude to money | C.to introduce the general idea of an e-book | D.to tell us Rich Ezzo isn’t money hungry | 小题2:The author didn’t write the review right after reading because _____.A.he was too excited to write anything | B.he was not sure whether he liked the book | C.he had to wait for Rich Ezzo’s permission | D.he wondered if this book had a long influence on him | 小题3:Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.The author had known Rich Ezzo before | B.The author hasn’t dreamed of getting rich instantly | C.The author always prefers e-books to paper books | D.The author likes the get-rich type of publication |
