Question

17．The Albinas married when Mr．Albina was 30，and they spent the early marriage in Argentina．Then they decided to move to Chile，which meant they had to cross the Andes Mountains．They and their 20s sons made the difficult two-week journey on horses．One night there was a terrible snow storm in the mountains，during which Mrs Albina gave birth to triplets （三胞胎），a boy and two girls．
    Mrs Albina now has 30 more girls，including the twins who are 15 months old．The oldest Albina children are in their 30s and 40s．They are on their own now，but 18 of the kids still live with their parents in a two-room house．The house has electricity but no toilet or running water．Clearly，the Albinas don't have enough money and food for the big family．Why，then，do they continue to have children？
The Albinas do not use birth control because it is against their religion．They can let other people take care of their kids，but Mrs Albina doesn't allow it．"When we were babies，"she said，"our mother left us at an orphanage and never returned．Then a couple adopted my brothers，and I was left behind．I was heartbroken．I promised that when I became a mother I would never give my children away．"
     So the Albina family continues to grow．They have so many kids that they run out of names and have to give some children the same name．There are three Susannas，three Miriams，two Estrellas，and two Soledades．
     Will the family stop at 53 kids？Mr Albina is 77，and Mrs Albina is 59．"I am getting old，"she said with a smile，"and I would like God to think of me and consider my age．But if God sends more children to me，yes，there will be more．"

Answer 1

分析 本文作者主要介绍了一个拥有众多子女的大家庭．由于Albinas夫妇认为如果采取节育措施，会有违他们的宗教信仰，因此到目前为止，他们共生育了53个子女，虽然其中大部分都已经独立生活了，但仍有18个孩子和他们生活在一起；由于Albina 太太在童年时有被母亲遗弃的经历，所以尽管生活很艰难，她也不愿意把孩子送给别人去抚养．最后，Albinas太太表示，如果上帝还会给她更多的孩子，她也会欣然接受的．

解答 答案：DACD
31．D   细节推理题   根据第一段"They and their 20s sons made…"，以及第二段"Mrs Albina now has 30 more girls，…but 18 of the kids still live with their parents in a two-room house．"可知：Albina 夫妇有20个儿子，30多个女儿，…但仍然还有18个孩子和他们住在一个仅有两个房间的家里．因此这里表达的是大多数孩子都独立了，故选D
32．A   细节推理题：根据第三段的"When we were babies，"she said，"our mother left us at an orphanage and never returned．"可知当Mrs Albina小的时候，她被母亲遗弃在了孤儿院；因此她的童年是不幸的，故选 A 
33．C   细节推理计算题：根据第一段"The Albinas married when Mr．Albina was 30，"以及最后一段"Mr Albina is 77，and Mrs Albina is 59．"可知由于Albina夫妇结婚时，Mr Albina 30岁；而现在Mr Albina 77岁，Mrs Albina59岁，他们的年龄相差18岁；所以可推算Mrs Albina当时应是12岁，故选C
34．D  细节理解题：根据最后一段"I am getting old，"she said with a smile，"and I would like God to think of me and consider my age．But if God sends more children to me，yes，there will be more．"句意："我的年龄越来越大了，"Albina太太微笑着说，"我希望上帝能想到我，考虑到我的年龄，但如果上帝给我更多的孩子，是的，就会有更多的孩子．"由此可知，她对继续生孩子的态度是顺其自然，故选 D
