Thelessonofthediningtable【答案】（1）D（2）D（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者和哥哥在看望母亲期间帮助母亲清理餐桌上的资料（一向被她视为宝贝），只留下了极少的重要东西，烧掉了大部分无用的东西。受母亲清理餐桌的启示，作者回到家之后也对自己的东西进行归类清理，自此作者觉得生活更加简易了。（1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“helpmegothroughthese…Whenwehadsucceededinseparatingwheatfromchaff”从麦壳中分离出麦子即：挑出有用的，扔掉无用的，可知，母亲要求孩子们查看邮件并从这些邮件中挑出重要的邮件。故选D。（2）考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Mymotherledtheway,walkingintothediningroomthewayananimalmanagermightbewhileenteringacagewithtigersinit”可知，母亲就像动物管理员走进老虎笼中一样，那么谨慎的进入餐厅。故选D。（3）考查观点态度。根据最后一段中的“WhenIreturnedhome,inspiredbythevisittomymother,Isortedoutmyownaccumulatedpilesofpapers,soldorgaveawayhalfofmypossessions…”可知，作者受母亲清理餐桌行为动作的影响，回家之后也对自己的物品进行了归类清理。故可知，作者的态度是积极的。故选A。（4）考查主旨大意全文以餐桌清理为主线，讲述了在我们的生活中要把无用之物抛弃，以使我们生活更加简易，尤其是最后一段中的“Anditprovesthatasmallchangedoesmakeabigdifference可知，D项（有关餐桌的一课）可作本文的标题。故选D。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，观点态度和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。8．阅读理解
