Question

【題目】 My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s (老年癡呆癥) last summer. Suddenly, it was difficult for me to accept that the roles were now changed — my mother became my child, and I became her mother. I became impatient, argued with her, once I even yelled at her. Gradually, I was used to this kind of life. Now I am able to deal with her and the situation better. I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience.

My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings. That is typical of Alzheimer’s patients. When I visit her, feeling hectic and tense, she reacts immediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous and negative. But when I appear cheerful and attentive, she is happy. This has taught me to pay more attention to my own feelings when I am with other people.

Through the illness my mother has developed a childlike tactlessness (不得體). Eating out in restaurants, for example, is a bit embarrassing when she shouts at the waiter that the food is so bad or talks about people at the next table in a loud voice. Of course I make sure that my mother doesn’t hurt anyone, but I’ve stopped complaining about others and have become more tolerant.

I have also learned that everything has special value. When my mother got sick I didn’t want to burden my two daughters with it. They are young and have enough going on with their education, and starting their careers. I felt that it was simply my job as my mother’s daughter. The most wonderful discovery I’ve made through my mother’s disease may be that my children not only offer to help me, but that they take care of my mother on their own actively. They visit her often, play cards with her, and look at photo albums together with her. It shows me that it’s all worth it.

【2】D

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。我的母親去年夏天得了老年癡呆癥。我在照顧母親的過程中自己也學(xué)到了很多東西：母親對我的情緒反應(yīng)很敏感，這教會了我在和別人在一起時(shí)要多注意自己的感受；母親表現(xiàn)出孩子氣，我學(xué)會不抱怨他人，多些寬容；我的孩子愿意主動(dòng)照顧我的母親，使我感覺很欣慰。

【1】詞義猜測題。由第二段My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings.及下文When I visit her, feeling hectic and tense, she reacts immediately, takes on my mood, and becomes nervous and negative.可知，母親對我的情緒反應(yīng)很敏感，母親變得緊張和消極是因?yàn)槲业木o張情緒。句中hectic與tense是兩個(gè)感情色彩相近的形容詞，tense意為“緊張的”，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)A. delighted高興的；B. touched受感動(dòng)的；C. surprised吃驚的；D. stressed有壓力的。故選D項(xiàng)。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段My mother reacts very sensitively to my feelings. That is typical of Alzheimer’s patients.可知，我母親對我的感情非常敏感。那是老年癡呆癥患者的典型特征。由此可知，對別人的情緒很敏感是老年癡呆癥患者的典型表現(xiàn)。故選D項(xiàng)。

【3】推理判斷題。由文章最后一段中The most wonderful discovery I’ve made through my mother’s disease may be that my children not only offer to help me, but that they take care of my mother on their own actively.可知，我在母親的疾病中最奇妙的發(fā)現(xiàn)可能是，我的孩子們不僅主動(dòng)幫助我，而且主動(dòng)照顧我的母親。由此可知，作者的女兒們非常體貼。故選B項(xiàng)。

【4】主旨大意題。由文章第一句My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s (老年癡呆癥) last summer.及下文的I have learned a lot of life lessons from the experience.可知，我的母親去年夏天得了老年癡呆癥。我在照顧母親的過程中自己也學(xué)到了很多東西，下文就具體介紹我學(xué)到了什么。第二段說明我學(xué)會了管理自己的情緒；第三段說明我學(xué)會了寬容；第四段說明我看到了孩子們主動(dòng)照顧母親，體會到一切都是值得的。因此這篇文章大意是我在照顧得了老年癡呆的母親時(shí)學(xué)到了什么。故選C項(xiàng)。

推理判斷題著重考查考生歸納概括、邏輯推理等綜合能力�？忌�要透過現(xiàn)象看本質(zhì)，領(lǐng)悟作者思想傾向、觀點(diǎn)、立場、語氣及態(tài)度等。要以原文內(nèi)容為前提，據(jù)作者的觀點(diǎn)理論（非考生觀點(diǎn)）客觀地對文中未明顯說明的現(xiàn)象或事例給予合理的邏輯推斷，做出一定解釋。如第3小題，問女兒們表現(xiàn)如何，通過對女兒們的描述，The most wonderful discovery I’ve made through my mother’s disease may be that my children not only offer to help me, but that they take care of my mother on their own actively.可知，我在母親的疾病中最奇妙的發(fā)現(xiàn)可能是，我的孩子們不僅主動(dòng)幫助我，而且主動(dòng)照顧我的母親。由此可知，作者的女兒們非常體貼。故選B項(xiàng)。
