readinessto答案与题解A本题问的是:这篇文章的题目还可以是什么?A的意思是是什么构成了一个家。B纽特人的生活。C的意思是生活得很艰难。D的意思是家庭之处。根据文意，本文主要介绍了与家庭相关的信息。B不是主要内容。C未提到。D未提到。因此A是正确的答案。A本题问的是:家庭的定义是什么?根据第一段的第三句话:Untilrecently，themostcommonforminNorthAmericawasthenuclearfamily，consistingofamarriedcouplewiththeirminorchildren.可知A是正确的答案。A本题问的是:这篇文章最有可能出自哪里?A的意思是人类学。B的意思是生物。C的意思是数学。D的意思是地理。本文主要介绍了家庭，因此最有可能是人类学。所以AC本题问的是:第一段的信息主要以何种方式陈述的?者讲故事，而是通过描述共性而阐述出家庭的概念。因此C是正确的答案。B本题问的是:mobility的词意。Mobility是mobile的名词形式。根据文中第二段，家庭能件。因此B是正确的答案。间也有很多相似点。家庭结构良好地适应于流动性的恶劣的条件下，流动性能让一个第二TalesoftheTerribleItisnotthejoboffictionwriterstoyzeandinterprethistory.Yetbywritingaboutthepastinavividandcompellingmanner，storylerscanbringearliererastolifeandforcereaderstoconsiderthemseriously.Amongthosetakingonthetaskofrecountinghistoryaresomeblackwriterswhoattempttoexamineslaveryfromdifferentpointsofview.NobelPrize-winningauthorToniMorrisondealsspecificallywiththelegacyofslaveryinherbookBeloved.Themaincharacterinthisnovel，aformerslavecalledSethe，livesinOhiointheyearsfollowingtheCivilWar，butshecannotfreeherselffromherhorrificmemories.Throughaseriesofflashbacksandbitterreminiscences，thereaderlearnshowandwhySetheescdfromtheplantationshehadlivedon;thefateofherhusband，whoalsotriedtoesc;andfinally，whathappenedtothechildcalledBeloved.Morrison'sscenesoftortureandmurderarevividandstronglyconveythedesperationoftheslavesandthecrueltyoftheirowners.CharlesJohnson'sMiddlePassageapproachesslaveryfromadifferent，yetnolessviolent，vantagepoint.Hismaincharacter，RutherfprdCalhoun，isane'er-do-wellfreeblac

答案与题解D本题问的是:这篇文章主要讲什么?A的意思是制的原因。B的意思是20世纪的作家。C的意思是莫里森和写书的原因。D的意思是关于制的两本小说。本文主要介绍了莫里森和各自关于制的小说的主要内容，因此D是正确的答案。C本题问的是:“宠儿”的设置背景是什么?根据第二段的第二句话:afornierslaveB本题问的是:作者的感觉是什么?A的意思是每个人都应该读莫里森和的小说。B的意思是这些作品非常值得写但又很有性。C的意思是作家应当忽略种族问题。D的意思是如果没有学习过去，那么这些过去会重现。A，C，D原文没有体现，因此B是正确的答案。D本题问的是:作者强调两部作品的共同之处是什么?根据第三段的第一句话:yetnolessviolent可知两部作品都有对的描写。因此D是正确的答案。A本题问的是:appalling的意思是什么?根据第三段对运送非洲人去的描述可知，此状况必然是不好的，糟糕的。A的意思是糟糕的。B的意思是令人惊讶的。C的意思是的。D的意思是不现实的。因此根据文意，A是正确的答案。她以前是个，内战之后住在俄亥俄，但是她无法让自己从可怕的中解脱出来。通过一系列出来的丈夫运，以及最后发生在叫做宠儿的孩子身上的事情。莫里森对受折磨和遭谋杀的查尔斯•的小说《中途》从另一个不同的角度来描写制，但同样充满着。他的主人公叫做•卡尔霍恩，是一个游手好闲、的。他偷偷登上了一艘开往非洲贩第二TheOnlyWayIsThinkofamodemcityandtheimagethatcometomindistheskyline.Itisfullofgreatbuildings,pointinglikefingerstoheaven.Itistruethatsomecitiesdon'tpermitbuildingstogoaboveacertainheight.Butthesearecitiesconcernedwiththepast.Thethinganycitydoeswhenitwantstoltheworldthatithasarrivedistobuildskyscrrs.Whenpeoplegathertogetherincities,theycreateademandforland.Sincecitiesareplacesmoneyismade,thatdemandcanbemet.Andthebestwaytomakemoneyoutofcitylandistoputasmanypeopleaspossibleinaspacethatcoversthesmallestamountofground.ThatmeansbuildingThetechnologyexistedtodothisasearlyasthe19thcentury.Buttheheightofbuildingswaslimitedbyoneimportantfactor.Theyhadtobesmallenoughforpeopleonthetopfloorstoclimbstairs.Peoplecouldnotbeexpectedtoclimbamountainat
