　　二、阅读理解

　　(2015·四川卷)

　　Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.

　　Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as ￡172,000 a year.

　　The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income ￡ 30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.

　　By analysing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most days, mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm.

　　To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part­time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part­time lawyer, at ￡ 48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”， with psychologist(心理学家) a close second.

　　It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 per cent making emotional (情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.

　　Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.

　　The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother's Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never­ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing (投入) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.

　　语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。在英国，按劳动量、劳动时间计算，一位母亲一年应该获得的收入应该比首相还多。母亲所作的牺牲很大，但也非常值得。

　　1．How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?

　　A. $30,000.

　　B. $142,000.

　　C. $172,000.

　　D. $202,000.

　　答案与解析　B　考查细节理解。由第二段中的“they would earn as much as ￡172,000 a year”和第三段中的“This would make their yearly income ￡ 30, 000 more than the Prime Minister earns”可知，首相一年的收入为￡172, 000－￡30, 000＝￡142,000。

　　2．The biggest challenge for most mothers is from ________.

　　A. emotional demand

　　B. low pay for work

　　C. heavy workload

　　D. lack of training

　　答案与解析　A　考查细节理解。由第六段“It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 per cent making emotional (情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood”可知，对大多数母亲来说，最大的挑战来自情感需求。

　　3．What is stressed in the last paragraph?

　　A. Mothers' importance shows in family all year long.

　　B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.

　　C. Mothers' devotion to children can hardly be calculated.

　　D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.

　　答案与解析　B　考查段落大意。由最后一段中的“can be never­ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing (投入) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent”可知，母亲所作的牺牲很大但非常值得。

　　4．What can we conclude from the study?

　　A. Mothers' working hours should be largely reduced.

　　B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.

　　C. Mothers' labour is of a higher value than it is realised.

　　D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.

　　答案与解析　C　考查推理判断。由第一段中的“But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year”可知，母亲的劳动有更高的价值。
