Summer is slipping away from m

【题目】Summer is slipping away from me. Some days, it makes me want to cry. Other days, I feel a n of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst. Tonight, all five of us were in the family room doing our own things.

At this moment, my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy. He has a tooth on the way and although it’s such a tiny thing, it’s causing so much grief. I’m holding him a lot and I’m not going to lie. I live for his afternoon nap(小睡) so I’m able to actually get dresd and u the restroom.

The big E is starting school soon. The other day, I found mylf a bit depresd about the end of summer and the beginning of another school year. I looked out of our front window with eyes that were heavy and a bit teary. Then, I suddenly realized just how silly this end of summer depression of mine is. I can't change time. But, I can change my emotions and my thoughts. I decided not to spend my final days of summer vacation walking around with a sad face. I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind mylf that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.

This week we plan on meeting teachers. I'm taking my girl to have her nails done before her first day of kindergarten. We want to bake a few dozen cookies. We'll take our evening walks as usual and stay up late. And last but not least, I’ll get school clothes ready, I’ll pack lunches and write lunch notes, we’ll read “The Kissing Hand,” like we normally do, and I’ll tuck(掖好被子) my third grader and kindergartener in their little beds before the big first day.

Thank you summer, you’ve been warm and wonderful, you’ve been sweet and sticky, you’ve been refreshing and exactly what we need. And your sunts have been amazing, so thank you.

本文为记叙文。文章以个人情感的变化为主线，叙述了作者在暑假即将结束时与孩子的日常生活。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段中Some days, it makes me want to cry. Other days, I feel a n of expectation within me just thinking about fall that makes me want to burst.可知，作者有时想哭，有时感到充满期待。故D选项正确。

【2】细节理解题。根据第三段中I decided to hug the last few days of summer and remind mylf that before I know it, we will be back in our school routine and all will go well.可知，作者说提醒自己马上要回到开学后的日常生活，所以要拥抱最后的假期，即珍惜剩余假期。故C选项正确。

【3】细节理解题。A项中“作者喜欢读小说”，原文没提；根据第二段中my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy可知，孩子给作者带来麻烦的同时又给作者带来快乐。而且作者有3个孩子(一个婴儿，一个上幼儿园，一个三年级)，排除C选项。根据第二段中I’m able to actually get dresd可知，作者可以打扮，故排除D选项。根据第四段中We'll take our evening walks as usual可知，作者经常在晚上散步。故B选项正确。

细节事实理解题主要考查考生对文章中某一些特定细节或文章的重要事实的理解能力。它一般包括直接理解题和语义理解题两种。直接理解题的答案与原文直接挂钩，从阅读材料中可以找到。此外，在阅读中可以使用定位法与跳读法解决细节理解题。定位法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息直接从原文中找到相应的句子(即定位)，然后进行比较和分析(尤其要注意一些同义转换)，从而找出正确答案。跳读法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息跳读原文，并找到相关的句子(有时可能是几个句子)或段落，然后进行分析和推理等，从而找出正确答案。

以本文第3小题为例，A选项中“作者喜欢读小说”，原文没提；根据第四段中We’ll take our evening walks as usual可知，B选项“经常晚上散步”正确；根据第二段中my littlest kid is my number one trouble and my number one joy可知，孩子给作者带来麻烦的同时又给作者带来快乐，而且作者有3个孩子(一个婴儿，一个上幼儿园，一个三年级)，从而排除C选项“作者有两个烦人的孩子”；再根据第二段中I’m able to actually get dresd可知，作者可以打扮，故排除D选项“作者没有时间打扮”。由此可得出正确答案。
