　　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 (重叠).

　　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 (大萧条), 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抯 ever accomplished. Perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged ain 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 at 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.

　　1. 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.

　　2. The underlined word “luxury” 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

　　3. 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.

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

　　A. In a musical form.

　　B. Through field research.

　　C. With unique writing skills.

　　D. From different points of view.

　　答案与解析

　　【文章大意】

　　本篇文章记录了一对经历相似的母女，她们都经历了女儿、母亲的阶段，又都是成功的作家。相同的天赋，相同的感觉，成就了一对母女作家二重奏。

　　1. 答案

　　D

　　解析

　　细节理解题。由第二段的第一句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.可知，珀莉认为她和她母亲有很多相似的经历，故选D项。

　　2. 答案

　　解析

　　词义猜测题。由文章第三段第一句A child of the Depression, Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls.中的经济大萧条这个时间背景可推知，对于女孩子来讲接受教育被认为是昂贵而没必要的；由本段最后对希拉和珀莉消费观念的对比也可推知C项正确。

　　3. 答案

　　A

　　解析

　　段落大意题。由第四段第一句Each writing in her own unmistakable voice, Perri and Sheila take turns at exploring the joys and pains, the love and bitterness, the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.及最后一句Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working, admit long-hidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.可知，本段是她们所写的书的内容，故选A项。

　　4. 答案

　　D

　　解析

　　推理判断题。由文章最后一段第一句话Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together ...可知，该书是母女二人从不同的观点来探索女性的生活。

　　The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis’s Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack抯 dare. They liked campi,ng, but not near this swamp.

　　?So”, Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name? ”

　　?Are you sure you want to hear it? It’s a scary story,” warned Jack.

　　?Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn’t have chosen this place!”

　　?Ok, but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale.

　　?Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different — it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.

　　“‘You are clearing too much land’, warned one old man. ‘The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’

　　“‘Silly fool,’ said Dennis to himself. ‘If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I’ll become wealthier. He’s just jealous!’”

　　“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”

　　“What happened?” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.

　　“The land hit back — just as the old man warned,” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”

　　“What a stupid story,” laughed Tom. “Plants can’t ...” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom’s face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.

　　1. The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closed in meaning to “________”.

　　A. courage

　　B. assistance

　　C. instruction

　　D. challenge

　　2. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?

　　A. To frighten them.

　　B. To satisfy their curiosity.

　　C. To warn them of the danger of the place.

　　D. To persuade them to camp in the swamp.

　　3. Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?

　　A. The old man envied him.

　　B. The old man was foolish

　　C. He was too busy to listen to others.

　　D. He was greedy for more crops.

　　4. Why did Tom scream and faint?

　　A. He saw Dennis’s shadow.

　　B. He was scared by a plant.

　　C. His friends played a joke on him.

　　D. The weather became extremely cold.

　　5. What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?

　　A. Grasp all, lose all.

　　B. No sweat, no sweet.

　　C. It is no use crying over spilt milk.

　　D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

　　答案与解析

　　Yesterday I had an argument with my best friend and I felt such angry that I just

　　so

　　wanted to be lonely. I am the kind of person who is not shy about showing real

　　alone

　　feelings. Thus, the fact that I was on a very busy street did not stop me crying my eye

　　eyes

　　out for an hour. I thought that people would not care anyway so I didn’t feel that this would affect everyone. To my surprise, this was not ∧case. I was shocking

　　to

　　anyone

　　the

　　shocked

　　realize that people around me approached me and ask

　　me what had happened.

　　asked

　　They offered tissues but tried to make me smile. I felt very grateful for have met

　　and

　　having

　　people that would go out of their way to ensure that if a stranger was all right.

　　第1处：such改为so。such后跟名词，而 so后跟形容词或副词。

　　第2处：lonely改为alone。此处用alone表示“单独的；独自的”。而lonely则表示“孤独的；寂寞的”。

　　第3处：eye改为eyes。cry one’s eyes out为固定搭配，意为“痛哭”。

　　第4处：everyone改为anyone。在否定句及疑问句中用any及其合成词。

　　第5处：在case前加the。This/That is/was not the case意为“情况并非如此”。

　　第6处：shocking改为shocked。shocked指人，而shocking指物或事情。

　　第7处：ask改为asked。此处用一般过去时，与前面句子时态一致。

　　第8处：but改为and。前后句为并列关系。

　　第9处：have改为having。介词后跟V-ing形式作宾语。

　　第10处：去掉that后的if。ensure等于make sure，后跟that引导的宾语从句。
