Like all other mothers who have small children, I, too, have to steal time

题文

Like all other mothers who have small children, I, too, have to steal time-from my own children at home and from the children who know me as their teacher-just to put a few words down on paper. Many times I’ve wanted to write for mylf, for other women, for my parents, for my husband, and especially for my children. I would have liked to leave a legacy (遗产) of words explaining what it has meant to have twins. One reason that there is not a great deal written about being a mother of a new baby is that there is ldom a moment to think of anything el but the baby’s needs. With twins, I did not have a spare hand to write with. Before my twins were born, my days were long and I had nothing to write about. After the twins’ birth I did have something to write about, but I found mylf facing not a pen and paper but milk bottles. Some nights, friends would visit. They would leave at 11 p.m., heading for bed, and for us the night was only just beginning. With twins, there is really no night. Each feeding lasts a long time. At 1:00 a.m., each of them would begin crying from hunger. At 4:00am, when I finally put them down, I felt exhausted. Two years have pasd since then and we’ve managed to live through it all. My days are still very full and even now there isn’t one evening when I put the twins down for the night that I don’t have a break. At last a little time for mylf.小题1:When did the writer have time but she didn’t feel like writing anything?A．Before the birth of her twins.B．When she faced bottles of milk.C．After her friends visited her home.D．When she had to think about the babies’ needs.小题2:What does the writer mainly write about?A．Her role as a wife.

答案

小题1:A小题1:C小题1:B小题1:A小题1:B

解析

小题1:A 细节题。文章第三段提到Before my twins were born, my days were long and I had nothing to write about,故选择A小题1:C 主旨大意题。作者主要的写作内容在第一段就有提到，Like all other mothers who have small children,所以她主要是写作为母亲的生活,故选择C小题1:B 原因题。作者夜晚刚刚开始的原因在第四段有提到With twins, there is really no night,所以原因是要照顾孩子,故选择B小题1:A 询问这篇文章可能的来源,首先可以确定这篇文章是非盈利性的,并且不是正式的文体,所以最有可能是一片博客日志,故选择A小题1:B 主旨大意题。从作者对于孩子的关心可以了解作者将孩子放在自己前面，故选择B

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“Like all other mothe.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
