Question

　　Mothers and daughters go through so much—yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all? Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their decades of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重疊).

　　Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s: both have full-time careers; both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both love to read. They also love to travel—in fact, they often take trips together. But in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.

　　A child of the Depression (大蕭條), Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls. Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished. Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s. For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.

　　Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together. Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork. Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the households, even though she knows it drives her mother crazy. Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.

　　Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other. A written account in two voices, Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.

　　55. Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother’s?

　　A. They both have gone through difficult times.

　　B. They have strong emotional ties with each other.

　　C. They have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness.

　　D. They both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer.

　　56. The word “l(fā)uxury” in Paragraph 3 means ______.

　　A. something rare but not pleasant

　　B. something that cannot be imagined

　　C. something expensive but not necessary

　　D. something that can only be enjoyed by boys

　　57. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

　　A. The content of the book.

　　B. The purpose of the book.

　　C. The influence of the book.

　　D. The writing style of the book.

　　58. How are women’s lives explored in this book?

　　A. In a musical form.

　　B. Through field research.

　　C. With unique writing skills.

Answer 1

【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，題材是美國(guó)作家· 希拉所羅門克拉斯(Sheila Solomon Klass)和佩里·克拉斯(Perri Klass)母女，通過(guò)類比母女的生活經(jīng)歷和創(chuàng)作內(nèi)容，可知Sheila Solomon Klass和 Perri Klass以不同視角展現(xiàn)了女性的生活。

段落	關(guān)鍵詞、句	大意推測(cè)
第一部分（Para. 1）	go through so much;  both gifted professional writers;  prove to be ideal co-writers;  the wonderful ways ... have overlapped;  examine their decades of motherhood, daughterhood	說(shuō)明對(duì)象及關(guān)系：兩個(gè)才女作家，希拉所羅門·克拉斯和佩里·克拉斯母女，當(dāng)她們一起審視在過(guò)去幾十年為人女，為人母，生活中有很多重疊的方面。
第二部分（Para. 2）	how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s;  both ... both ...  each... they both ... They also ...;  But in truth; the harder ... , the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.;	過(guò)渡段，承上啟下：針對(duì)第一段最后一句，列舉重疊之處，但最后筆鋒一轉(zhuǎn)，越努力地審視，越會(huì)承認(rèn)她們?cè)谏�存環(huán)境和本性方面有很大的不同。
第三部分（Para. 3）	A child of the Depression; considered education a luxury for girls;  has fought for everything;  grew up privileged ...the 1960s and 1970s;  wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable;  while;   the occasional small luxury;	類比生活環(huán)境：母親生活在大蕭條時(shí)期，當(dāng)時(shí)教育對(duì)女孩子來(lái)說(shuō)是奢侈的，浪費(fèi)時(shí)間、金錢對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)就是一種犯罪，奢侈品更不可能了，然而女兒是享有特權(quán)地生活在六七十年代的新澤西郊區(qū)，會(huì)偶爾享受一下小奢侈品。
第四部分（Para.4- 5）	in her own unmistakable voice;  take turns exploring;  the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect;  have…bonded them together;  the adventure of giving birth;  compare thoughts on…;  admit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories;　　tell their mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration; a duet	類比創(chuàng)作異同，得出結(jié)論：各有寫作風(fēng)格，書(shū)中描寫了她們生活的酸甜苦辣。她們?cè)谝黄鸨容^撫養(yǎng)孩子，工作的想法…… 兩種文風(fēng)，《每個(gè)媽媽都是女兒》是一部二重奏啊。

【解析】

55. D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。難度：適中。 定位在第一段Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their decades of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重疊).說(shuō)明Perri 和媽媽都是才華橫溢的職業(yè)女作家，是理想的合作作者，都為人女為人母。故D. They both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer.為正確答案。

干擾項(xiàng)排除：本題易誤A. They both have gone through difficult times.文章開(kāi)頭有Mothers and daughters go through so much.但是并沒(méi)有說(shuō)difficult times，選項(xiàng)A是對(duì)原文的誤解，故排除。選項(xiàng)B. They have strong emotional ties with each other. 和選項(xiàng)C. They have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness.可以看到文章第四段有Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together. 也就是說(shuō)母親雖然都經(jīng)歷了，但心聲感悟卻各有風(fēng)格。故排除B和C選項(xiàng)�！�

56. C。詞義猜測(cè)題。難度：較易。 根據(jù)提干luxury 和in Paragraph 3，可以定位到兩句話①A child of the Depression, Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls. ②For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes. 第一句話中說(shuō)Sheila生活在經(jīng)濟(jì)大蕭條時(shí)代，那時(shí)父母認(rèn)為女孩受教育是一種奢侈，luxury奢侈。第二句話通過(guò)while一個(gè)詞的對(duì)比，我們可以推測(cè)出：對(duì)Sheila來(lái)說(shuō)，浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，金錢對(duì)對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)就是一種犯罪，奢侈品更不可能了，然而女兒生活在六七十年代的新澤西郊區(qū)，會(huì)偶爾享受一下小奢侈品。由此可知luxury奢侈品，故C. something expensive but not necessary（使人愉快、舒服但非必需的東西）為正確答案。

干擾項(xiàng)排除：A. something rare but not pleasant 很罕見(jiàn)但又不令人愉快的東西，與luxury的意思相差甚遠(yuǎn)，故排除。B. something that cannot be imagined人們想象不出來(lái)的東西，故排除。D. something that can only be enjoyed by boys只供男孩子們享受的東西，本文從頭至尾一直是以母女為重心，故排除。

57. A。主旨大意題。難度：適中。 題干問(wèn)第四段主要講了什么？所以定位在第四段，主題句在：Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together. 所以主旨是在描述本書(shū)的內(nèi)容。故A. The content of the book.為正確選項(xiàng)。

干擾項(xiàng)排除：B. The purpose of the book.本書(shū)的寫作目的，文章只是類比了創(chuàng)作的異同，并沒(méi)有說(shuō)明寫作目的，故排除。C. The influence of the book.本書(shū)的影響。文章只是類比了母女生活環(huán)境的異同，并沒(méi)有說(shuō)明本書(shū)的影響，故排除。D. The writing style of the book.這個(gè)選項(xiàng)當(dāng)考生看到Each writing in her own unmistakable voice極易誤選，但主句側(cè)重的是寫作內(nèi)容，尤其第四段最后一句Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.強(qiáng)調(diào)得還是內(nèi)容，而不是寫作風(fēng)格，故排除。

58. D。推理判斷題。難度：較難。題干問(wèn)的是：這本書(shū)是怎樣探究女性生活的？定位在最后一段兩句話①Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other. ②A written account in two voices, Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep, strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.第一句話點(diǎn)明了separately and together從異同點(diǎn)出發(fā)，Perri and Sheila講述了母親與女兒的故事；第二句話：Every Mother Is a Daughter這本書(shū)中同時(shí)呈現(xiàn)了兩位女作家截然不同的寫作風(fēng)格，它像是一個(gè)二重奏，通過(guò)描述所有母親和女兒們都認(rèn)同的種種經(jīng)歷，它奏出了一個(gè)低沉卻強(qiáng)烈的聲音，這句話暗示：母女是從各自的角度探究女性生活的這一話題，故D. From different points of view.正確。

解題思路：要掌握閱讀理解中正確解項(xiàng)特征：反映中心的就是解！文章所列舉的一般都是用來(lái)說(shuō)明某一個(gè)中心的， 因此采用中心詞定位選項(xiàng)文中多次提到了兩種生活環(huán)境與本性的母女講述母女的故事，由關(guān)鍵詞句：A written account in two voices，duet可知選D項(xiàng)，省時(shí)又高效。推理判斷題較難，要求正確答案應(yīng)在原文的基礎(chǔ)上往前走一步，因此掌握方法與技巧相當(dāng)重要。

干擾項(xiàng)排除：A. In a musical form.整篇文章自始至終都沒(méi)有提到音樂(lè)形式，故排除。B. Through field research. 可以定位在第四段Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.說(shuō)明她的丈夫當(dāng)時(shí)正在特立尼達(dá)島進(jìn)行野外考察工作。答非所問(wèn)，故排除。C. With unique writing skills.用獨(dú)一無(wú)二的寫作技能，文章沒(méi)有提及寫作技能，故排除。

【難句學(xué)習(xí)】

1. Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, both gifted professional writers, prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their decades of motherhood, daughterhood, and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重疊).

翻譯：佩里·克拉斯和媽媽希拉所羅門·克拉斯，都是才華橫溢的職業(yè)女作家，在審視各自為人母，為人女的幾十年時(shí)光，以及她們生活中重疊的方方面面的時(shí)候，證明他們不愧為理想的合作作者。

分析：本句的主干是Perri Klass and her mother…prove to be ideal co-writers…。both gifted professional writers,，為Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, 的同位語(yǔ)。as 引導(dǎo)狀語(yǔ)從句。

2. But in truth, the harder they look at their lives, the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.

翻譯：但事實(shí)上，她們?cè)脚�力地審視她們的生活，越�?huì)承認(rèn)她們?cè)诳陀^環(huán)境和本性方面有很大的不同。

分析：本句運(yùn)用了特殊句式：the harder …, the more …。其中acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature是說(shuō)承認(rèn)她們?cè)诳陀^環(huán)境和本性上有很大的不同。

3. Starting with her college education, she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished.

翻譯：從她的大學(xué)教育開(kāi)始，她就努力奮斗要得到一切，而這些她都已經(jīng)實(shí)現(xiàn)了。

分析：本句的主干是…, she has fought for everything。前面Starting with her college education，是伴隨狀語(yǔ)，主句主語(yǔ)she與start是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)Starting with…。主句動(dòng)詞fought 的原形是fight, fight for為……而努力奮斗。 she’s ever accomplished也是省略了that的定語(yǔ)從句，還原為she’s ever accomplished everything。

4. For Sheila, wasting time or money is a crime, and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury, but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.

翻譯：對(duì)于希拉來(lái)說(shuō)，浪費(fèi)時(shí)間、浪費(fèi)金錢就是一種犯罪，奢侈品更不可能了；然而女兒佩會(huì)偶爾享受一下小奢侈品。她曾嘗試著勸服母親享受一下她喜歡的，甚至是最小的東西，但從來(lái)沒(méi)有成功過(guò)。

分析：本句是個(gè)長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的并列句…while…一個(gè)詞前后兩種不同的對(duì)比。…while前面是由and 連接兩個(gè)并列句，一個(gè)是動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)wasting time or money做主語(yǔ)，and之后是luxury 做主語(yǔ)；while…之后是 Perri 做主語(yǔ)，后面的連詞but 連接兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞enjoys 和has not been。be successful at doing成功做成某事兒，try to persuade sb. into sth.嘗試勸服某人去做某事，she likes是省略that的定語(yǔ)從句，修飾the tiniest thing最小的東西。

5. Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.

翻譯：Sheila描述了冒險(xiǎn)在特立尼達(dá)島的一個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)上產(chǎn)下Perri，當(dāng)時(shí)丈夫正在那里進(jìn)行野外考察工作。

分析：本句的主干是Sheila describes the adventure…。where her husband was doing research fieldwork是定語(yǔ)從句，修飾前面的in a tiny town in Trinidad。

6. Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other.

翻譯：深入觀察她們生活（包括分開(kāi)的和一起的），佩里和希拉帶著誠(chéng)實(shí)、幽默、熱情，和對(duì)彼此的欽佩，講述著母女兩人間的故事。

分析：本句的主干是Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story…。前面半句Looking deep into做伴隨狀語(yǔ)，Perri and Sheila與look into是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)；they have lived separately and together是省略that的定語(yǔ)從句，修飾前面的the lives，separately and together方式狀語(yǔ)修飾動(dòng)詞have lived；with honesty, humor, enthusiasm, and admiration for each other是with結(jié)構(gòu)：“with+ 名詞”。
