Question

【題目】My mother is a kind and gentle woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher she works diligently (勤奮地) and efficiently. As a mother, she takes good care of us and gives us every comfort. I have an elder brother. He and I both love her dearly, as she loves us.

My mother has been teaching maths at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to the school early in the morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. She loves her students and cares for them. She treats them with patience and teaches them well. For her excellent qualities and very good teaching results, she is always praised and respected by both her students and colleagues alike. And she has been chosen or elected as a model teacher several times.

My mother is a thrifty and industrious (勤勞的)woman. She never buys expensive or beautiful dresses for herself; she goes occasionally to buy some inexpensive and high-quality clothes for us. She never goes to big restaurants to enjoy expensive meals. She only eats a cheap meal outside when she is too busy. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints. As soon as she comes back from school, she sets about doing housework; sweeping the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. Besides, she prepares nice dishes for us to eat. She seems to be on the go all the time. As she has been very busy working hard every day, she looks older than she really is. Her face is wrinkled, and her hair has turned silver white. But she looks

as cheerful and happy as ever.

Often she says to us, “Work while you work, and play while you play.” What a good piece of advice this is! I never forget it and always keep it in my mind. This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my action.

找出主題句，抓住文章主線和關(guān)鍵詞語，歸納文章中心。要注意不是所有的段落都有主題句，有時(shí)主題句暗含在句中。閱讀這樣的文章，就需要自己根據(jù)文章的細(xì)節(jié)來分析，概括出段落的主題，從而推導(dǎo)出文章的主旨。分析的方法是：先弄清該段落主要講了哪幾方面的內(nèi)容，這些內(nèi)容在邏輯上有什么聯(lián)系，然后加以歸納形成主題。

【3】Ａ

推理判斷題。根據(jù)本文的內(nèi)容可知，作者的母親是一個(gè)認(rèn)真工作，勤儉持家，她認(rèn)真地做好該做的一切。由此可知她所說的“Work while you work, and play while you play.”就是工作時(shí)要好好工作玩樂時(shí)可以好好玩樂。分析此句知，就是要認(rèn)真對(duì)待你所做的一切，故選A項(xiàng)。

【4】Ｄ

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后“As she has been very busy working hard every day, she looks older than she really is. Her face is wrinkled, and her hair has turned silver white.”可知因?yàn)閶寢屆刻於己苊�，她看上去比�?shí)際年齡大。分析選項(xiàng)可知D項(xiàng)符合題意。故選D項(xiàng)。

【1】Ｂ

　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“. For her excellent qualities and very good teaching results, she is always praised and respected by both her students and colleagues alike” 因?yàn)樗�的�?yōu)秀品質(zhì)和良好的教學(xué)效果，她總是受到學(xué)生和同事的贊揚(yáng)和尊敬。由此可知B項(xiàng)符合題意。

【2】Ｃ

【解題剖析】此題屬于主旨大意中的（2）一一主旨類。答案需要看第三段的第一句找主題句。

【答案定位】第三段的第一句“My mother is a thrifty and industrious (勤勞的)woman.”是本段的主題句。本段以此為主旨展開的來說明作者母親的這個(gè)特點(diǎn)。因此A、B和D是對(duì)這一主旨的說明。
