Question

【題目】

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money in order to pay for my brother' s education and mine. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. For them, "I love you" is too difficult to say. Even sending flowers to each other on some special days is hardly ever seen.

One day, my mother was repairing a quilt(被子). I silently sat beside her and looked at her. "Mum, may I ask you a question?" I said.

"What?" she replied, still doing her work. "Is there love between you and Dads" I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and looked at me in surprise. She didn't answer my question at once. Then, she bowed her head and continued to do her work.

I was afraid that I had hurt her feelings. I felt so embarrassed that I didn't know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:

"Look at this thread(線). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time, it hides in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there."

I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. The doctor had said my father would recover in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. All of us were worried about him. "Dad, how are you feeling now" I asked him one day. "Susan, don't worry about me." he said gently. "To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life. Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】

文章大意：短文主要通過作者自己父母之間的愛情故事，告訴我們：愛不是體現(xiàn)在外面的一些膚淺的表達(dá)，真正的愛應(yīng)該是在內(nèi)在的，愛情讓生活變得堅(jiān)強(qiáng)和溫暖。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中For them, "I love you" is too difficult to say. Even sending flowers to each other on some special days is hardly ever seen. 可知他們幾乎不表達(dá)對相互之間的愛，因此作者有時懷疑她父母之間是否有真愛，故答案為D。

【2】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文中If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. 可知如果生活是一床被子，那么愛應(yīng)該是一條線。無論何時何地都看不到它，但它確實(shí)存在可猜測出，下劃線單詞所在的句意應(yīng)為“這條線真地使被子結(jié)實(shí)和耐用”，所以下劃線單詞意為“耐用的、持久的”，故答案為C。

【3】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中I couldn't understand her until the next spring.可知，作者并沒有馬上理解他媽媽的話，故A項(xiàng)錯誤；從文中作者父母的經(jīng)歷中可知道，兩個相愛的人并不一定經(jīng)常說“我愛你”，故B項(xiàng)錯誤；從文中作者父親生病，母親的細(xì)心照顧可知，作者的父母是相愛的，故C項(xiàng)錯誤；根據(jù)文中If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there.可知，愛就在那里，不管你說不說，故D項(xiàng)正確，故答案為D。

【4】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)文中Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.曾經(jīng)我以為愛意味著鮮花、禮物和甜蜜的吻，但從這次經(jīng)歷中，我明白了愛只是我們生活中被子里的一根線，愛在里面，讓生活變得堅(jiān)強(qiáng)和溫暖可知，本文主要講述了愛不是體現(xiàn)在外面的一些膚淺的表達(dá)，真正的愛應(yīng)該是在里面，讓生活變得堅(jiān)強(qiáng)和溫暖，故答案為B。
