二、阅读理解
(2015·安徽卷)
When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This
lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.
Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.
Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elizabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.”
Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.
语篇解读 本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了女主人Helene An在五个女儿幼时，对她们进行家庭团结观的培养，为她们日后的成功打下了坚实的信念基础。本文揭示了团结就是力量的道理。
1．Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ________.
A. the strength of family unity
B. the difficulty of growing up
C. the advantage of chopsticks
D. the best way of giving a lesson
答案与解析 A 考查细节理解。由文章第一段中的“she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks”可知，绑在一起的筷子显示了家庭团结的力量。
2．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ________.
A. started a business in 1975
B. left Vietnam without much money
C. bought a restaurant in San Francisco
D. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles
答案与解析 B 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段中的“when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money”可知，答案是B项。
3．What can we infer about the An daughters?
A. They did not finish their college education.
B. They could not bear to work in the family business.
C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.
D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.
答案与解析 C 考查推理判断。A项与文中事实“the girls all graduated from college”不符；B项“孩子们不能忍受在家族企业中工作”与她们都在为家族企业工作的事实不符。D项“她们被家庭成员间的分歧所困”，而文中事实是“Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful”。C项由文中的“Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity”推理可知。
4．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Run a Corporation
B. Strength Comes from Peace
C. How to Achieve a Big Dream
D. Family Unity Builds Success
答案与解析 D 考查标题判断。由第一段中绑在一起的筷子预示着家庭团结的力量开始一直到最后一段，文章都在讲述一个主题——家庭的团结造就了成功。
