Question

【題目】My 3-year-old son and I lived a very hard life because I had been out of work since two years ago. Being poor is a terrible feeling when your 3-year-old finishes his meal and says: “Can I have some more bread and jam （果醬） please, Mummy?” And you break down in tears, because you don’t know how to tell him that there is no more food. With ￡6, I went to the supermarket, picked up some food and started to cook at home. It was time for me to make a change and get back on my feet. I began to write a series of articles for the website named Hunger Hurt in July 2011.

A few months later, local food bank gave me some help-- with some free vegetables every month, which made my life a little easier. I began to write recipes（食譜）, posting them on my blog. To my surprise, families, students and those poor people told me how much it helped to see healthy recipes made from affordable supermarket vegetables.

My Life took unexpected turns. I was invited to give a speech on food , interviewed for an Oxfam report on food banks and asked to write a cookery book.

When I got the money from the book, for the first night in almost two years, I went to bed without worrying. Now, I have a well-paid job and a beautiful home, and I’ll never forget the days when I worked hard for a good life.

試題分析：本文主要講述的是一位媽媽努力奮斗從而使自己和孩子的生活從此得到改觀的勵(lì)志故事。作者由于沒有工作而和孩子過著艱苦的生活，后來(lái)作者通過寫一些菜譜上傳到博客上而使得自己的生活有所改觀。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通過上文的“Can I have some more bread and jam （果醬） please, Mummy?” And you break down in tears, because you don’t know how to tell him that there is no more food. With ￡6, I went to the supermarket, picked up some food and started to cook at home.可知作者是因?yàn)楹⒆記]有吃飽而去超市購(gòu)物回家做給孩子吃，故選擇B，意為她要用便宜的方法喂飽自己和孩子。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的A few months later, local food bank gave me some help-- with some free vegetables every month, which made my life a little easier.可知food bank給作者提供了幫助，一些免費(fèi)的蔬菜，由此可知food bank主要是給有需要的人提供食物。故選擇B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的To my surprise, families, students and those poor people told me how much it helped to see healthy recipes made from affordable supermarket vegetables.可知，作者上傳菜譜后，引起很多人的關(guān)注，故選擇A，意為受到關(guān)注。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)對(duì)文章的整體理解，可以知道這篇文章主要講述的是一位媽媽通過自己的努力改善生活的理智故事，故選擇D最為恰當(dāng)，意為成功掌握在自己手中。選項(xiàng)A說(shuō)的是一位有愛心的媽媽，和文中大意不符，文章講的是努力而不是愛心；選項(xiàng)B說(shuō)的是艱苦生活教給我的，文章并未提及；選項(xiàng)C意為母親夢(mèng)想的工作，而文章并未提到這位媽媽的夢(mèng)想職業(yè)。
