题目内容

DEAR AMY: Last year I got a full-time job as a baby-sitter for a wonderful family with two amazing kids. They have come to treat me as one of their own. But my boyfriend and I are attempting to save much more money for the life we want to build, including marriage, a house and kids. Much as I love my “babies,” I’m looking forward to beginning a challenging career in a big company. Should I tell the family that I am looking for a new job? I don’t want to find one that requires me to begin work immediately, leaving them without child care, but I also don’t want them to assume that I’m leaving right away.              
Up-in-the-Air Au Pair
DEAR AU PAIR: Whatever your arrangement, it is reasonable for them to expect you to be honest and to keep them in the loop. They see that you are making changes in your life, and surely they will also understand your desire to advance in a career. Tell them frankly and they should be happy to employ you as long as you are available.
Amy
DEAR AMY: I am a freshman in a high school. Last summer my best friend was diagnosed with skin cancer. It isn’t very serious, but she seems to be becoming more and more depressed. How can I help her be happy again?
Best Friend
DEAR FRIEND: Your best role is to prop up and encourage your friend when she seems down, and to be supportive and kind to her. You're doing a great job with that, and your friend is lucky to have you in her life.
Amy

试题分析:本文取材于报纸的生活解惑答疑栏目。文章属于记叙文。文章讲述了两个求助者的问题。
1.考查细节理解。根据文章第一段中的Much as I love my “babies,” I’m looking forward to beginning a challenging career in a big company. Should I tell the family that I am looking for a new job?可知,Au Pair是问题是:她应该不应该告诉那个家庭她在找新的工作。所以A正确。
2.考查推测短语的含义。根据it is reasonable for them to expect you to be honest可知,他们期望你是诚实的。又根据并列连词and可知,前后内容一致,她应该让那个家庭知道要发生的事情。所以选D。
3.考查推理判断。根据文章内容可知,这是生活答疑栏目,所以选C。Jobs找工作栏目; culture文化栏目; Entertainment娱乐栏目。这三项都不符合文意。
考点:考查记叙文的阅读。
