Question

【題目】I've always felt a bit sad for weekend fathers, who are divorced and must maintain a bond with their children through visits on the weekend．Not having the opportunity for a lot of quality time, they go in for quantity giving lots of gifts and taking the children on non stop outings．

But now I can understand．I'm a weekend mom．My child, Henry, is a dog．

Henry just returned to his father, Jack, after a happy stay with me．For ten days, I fed him the best food, canceled plans to stay home with him and let him sleep on the bed every night．

Jack and I broke up a year ago．But neither of us wanted to part with Henry, so we share him．Not surprisingly, Henry is a willing participant in our contest for his love．

Jack doesn't let Henry sleep on his bed, so that's where I can always gain big points．I feed Henry higher quality food．I am always replacing his expensive “thingy" ,a cotton knot he likes chewing on．It' s his favorite toy, and the only one he has is at my house．Score another one for me．

Jack now has a girlfriend, Lucy．At first she was afraid of dogs, which secretly delighted me．But that Henry, just trying to be polite（the way I taught him to be）,won her over．

If truth be told, as time passes, there has been a slight change in Henry' s behavior toward me．The worst was one day when Jack dropped him off for a two week stay．Henry and I were in the backyard playing as Jack was driving off．When he heard Jack's truck, he ran after it for two blocks until Jack had to stop and bring him back．

That hurt, especially since I had friends over at the time．In a rare conciliatory （安撫的） mood, Jack said to me, "You know, I' m his best friend, but you'll always be his mom．"

Whatever it takes, I plan to make sure it stays that way．

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解.根據(jù)第三段作者在十天里都給Henry最好的食物（“For ten days, I fed him the best food”）。因此在作者家，Henry享有高質(zhì)量食品（“enjoys high-quality food”）。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段Henry對作者態(tài)度稍微有轉(zhuǎn)變（“…there has been a slight change in Henry' s behavior toward me”）。

最后一段這讓作者很難受（“That hurt…”）。因此作者難受是由于Henry對作者態(tài)度稍微有轉(zhuǎn)變（“Henry' s attitude to her has changed slightly”）。

【3】主旨大意.根據(jù)全文，這篇文章是關(guān)于作者離婚后，為了贏得Henry狗的喜愛而發(fā)生的趣事。因此本文主要和作者為贏取Henry狗的喜歡而付出的努力（“the writer' s efforts to win a dog's love”）有關(guān)。

【4】寫作特點(diǎn).根據(jù)全文，本文用擬人的手法把Henry狗比作作者的孩子，把為討好Henry的喜歡而發(fā)生的趣事寫得詼諧幽默。因此選humorous,幽默的。Painful,痛苦的，不符合本文整體上記敘趣事的基調(diào)。
