【解析】这是一篇记叙文,一对母女合作写了一本名叫“Every Mother Is a Daughter”的书。本文记叙了这对母女生活和写作中的快乐以及不同的生活经历。

1.

2.2】解析:选C。猜测词义题。第三段说母亲在Brooklyn成长,父母都觉得让女孩上学是luxury;后面提到对母亲来说,浪费时间或者钱是犯罪,luxury是难以想象的,而女儿Perri偶尔享受一下小小的luxury。从这些信息看,luxury不是令人不愉快的”“难以想象的”“只有男孩能够享受的,而是昂贵而非必要的东西

3.3】解析:选A。主旨大意题。第四段提到,这对母女在书中描述把她们的生活连接到一起的那些快乐与痛苦,爱与恨,讲到母女交流抚养孩子的想法,一起享受珍贵的记忆等。从该段内容看,这是回顾这本书的内容,而不是写书的目的、书的影响或写作风格。

4.4】解析:选D。推理判断题。最后一段说,这本书是用两个人的声音在讲述,好比二重奏;第四段说她们每个人都用自己的不会被弄混淆的声音在轮流讲述。从这些信息看,这本书的写作风格是母女从不同的角度探索女性生活,而不是用音乐形式(误解了二重奏的含义)”“通过野外研究(Perri父亲的工作)”“独特的写作技巧(本文没有谈到她们的写作技巧)”
