and daughters go through so muchyet 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 cowriters 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 mothers: both have fulltime careers; both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children; they both love to read. they also love to travelin 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 shes ever accomplished. perri, on the other hand, grew up privileged in 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 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 cant 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 longhidden sorrows, and enjoy precious memories.looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together, perri and sheila tell their motherdaughter 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.文章大意：本文讲述的是一对母女一起生活，一起写作，一起分享对方的点点滴滴，其乐融融，和谐相处的故事。5why does perri think that her own life has mirrored her mothers?athey both have gone through difficult times.bthey have strong emotional ties with each other.cthey have the same joys and pains, and love and bitterness.dthey both have experiences as daughter, mother and writer.答案：d细节理解题，由文章both have fulltime careers; both have published books, articles, and stories; each has three children可以看出，d项正确。6the word “luxury” in paragraph 3 means _.asomething rare but not pleasantbsomething that cannot be imaginedcsomething expensive but not necessarydsomething that can only be enjoyed by boys答案：c词义猜测题，luxury的本意是：奢侈品，豪华品，是很昂贵的东西，但不一定是必需品，因此答案c正确。7what is paragraph 4 mainly about?athe content of the book. bthe purpose of the book.cthe influence of the book. dthe writing style of the book.答案：a推理判断题，此段主要讲述母女二人的具体生活细节，因此反应在书中，应是本书的内容，因此选a。8how are womens lives explored in this book?ain a musical form. bthrough field research.cwith unique writing skills. dfrom different points of view.答案：d推理判断题，由最后一段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，此处的voices，sound指的是不同的声音、观点，因此答案d合适。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。(2013湖北，c)weve reached a strangesome would say unusualpoint. while fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the world health organization (who), more people now die from being overweight, or say, from being extremely fat, than from being underweight. its the good life thats more likely to kill us these days.worse, nearly 18 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight. whats going on?we really dont have many excuses for our weight problems. the dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by publichealth campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting throughup to a point.in the 1970s, finland, for example, had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause. not any more. a publichealth campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades.maybe that explains why the percentage of people in finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005, and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body. that has become a sort of fashion. no wonder it ranks as the worlds most bodyconscious country.we know what we should be doing to lose weightbut actually doing it is another matter. by far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise. more than half of us admit we lack willpower.others blame good food. they say: its just too inviting and it makes them overeat. still others lay the blame on the americans, complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much americanstyle fast food.some also blame their parentstheir genes. but unfortunately, the parents are wronged because theyre normal in shape, or rather slim.its a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. parents are eager to see their kids shape up. do as i saynot as i do.文章大意：本文讲述的是世界上的人们，因为生活变好，而导致的肥胖问题已经成为一个日益严峻的问题，本文深刻剖析了引起肥胖的各种原因，警醒人们要以健康为重。9what is the “strange” point mentioned in the first sentence?athe good life is a greater risk than the bad life.bstarvation is taking more peoples lives in the world.cwho report shows peoples unawareness of food safety.doverweight issue remains unresolved despite whos efforts.答案：a推理判断题，第一段主要讲述人们在为了消除世界饥饿问题而大伤脑筋之时，过度肥胖却是另外一个更令人头痛的事情，甚至比饥饿问题更加严峻，因此选a。10why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight?aa lot of effective diet pills are available.bbody image has nothing to do with good food.cthey have been made fully aware of its dangers.dthere are too many overweight people in the world.答案：c细节理解题，根据文章the dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by publichealth campaigns可知，此事已经深入人心。11the example of finland is used to illustrate _.athe cause of heart diseasebthe fashion of body shapingcthe effectiveness of a campaigndthe history of a bodyconscious country答案：c细节理解题，根据文章的not any more. a publichealth campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades可知，这场运动使得这个问题的解决起了很大的作用，因此选c。12which would be the best title for the passage?aactions or excuses? boverweight or underweight?cwho in a dilemma dno longer dying of hunger答案：a整体理解题，本文主要论述了人们对于肥胖的各种借口和理由，却没有意识到我们应该采取行动去解决这个问题，由its a similar story around the world, although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight. parents are eager to see their
