14.Mothers and daughters go through so much-yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down to write a book together about it all?Perri Klass and her mother,Sheila Solomon Klass,both gifted professional writers,prove to be ideal co-writers as they examine their decades of motherhood,daughterhood,and the wonderful ways their lives have overlapped (重叠).
Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother's:both have full-time careers; both have published books,articles,and stories; each has three children; they both love to read.They also love to travel-in fact,they often take trips together.But in truth,the harder they look at their lives,the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.
A child of the Depression (大萧条),Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a   luxury  for girls.Starting with her college education,she has fought for everything she's ever accomplished.Perri,on the other hand,grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s.For Sheila,wasting time or money is a crime,and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury,but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
Each writing in her own unmistakable voice,Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains,the love and bitterness,the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.Perri admits that she can't sort out all the mess in the households,even though she knows it drives her mother crazy.Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working,admit long-hidden sorrows,and enjoy precious memories.
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together,Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty,humor,enthusiasm,and admiration for each other.A written account in two voices,Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep,strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.

48.Why does Perri think that her own life has mirrored her mother's?D
A.They both have gone through difficult times.
B.They have strong emotional ties with each other.
C.They have the same joys and pains,and love and bitterness.
D.They both have experiences as daughter,mother and writer.
49.The word"luxury"in Paragraph 3meansC.
A.something rare but not pleasant
B.something that cannot be imagined
C.something expensive but not necessary
D.something that can only be enjoyed by boys
50.What is Paragraph 4mainly about?A
A.The content of the book.
B.The purpose of the book.
C.The influence of the book.
D.The writing style of the book.

分析 本文是一篇科教类阅读,文章主要介绍了一对母女合作写了一本名叫"Every Mother Is a Daughter"的书.此外还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.

解答 DCA
48.D细节理解题.根据第二段Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother's:both have full-time careers; both have published books,articles,and stories; each has three children; they both love to read.They also love to travel-in fact,they often take trips together.可知Perri惊讶地注意到,自己的生活几乎就是母亲生活的一面镜子:她们都有自己的全职事业,都出版了书籍、文章和小说,每个人都生了3个孩子,都喜欢看书,喜欢旅游.由此可知,Perri与母亲的经历很相似.故选D.
49.C猜测词义题.根据第三段的内容可知,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".故选C.
50.A主旨大意题.根据第四段提到,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.故选A.

5.It was 1:30 a.m.Monday at London's Savoy Hotel and,with autograph books and cameras,a group of brighteyed tennis fans of all ages were waiting for just a glimpse of Maria Sharapova(莎拉波娃).
    The 17-year-old girl defeated champion Serena Williams(威廉姆斯) 6-1 6-4 in the Wimbledon(温网)final on Saturday in London to become the first Russian to win a single title at the championships.
    A silver lining to a depressing,rain-hit Wimbledon,she has raised heated passion.
    Nobody was complaining,though,for the 1.83-metre Sharapova has created a welcome wave of interest in tennis,something missing in recent years.
    Not even Anna Kournikova(库尔尼科娃)evoked(唤起) such passion when she broke on to the scene.To look good on court is one thing,but Sharapova can actually play the game too.Extremely well.
    She proved it over 13 days at the world's most prestigious tournament.Playing tennis of the highest quality throughout,the Russian's triumph not only lifted the tournament from fits of rain-induced depression but also salvaged(拯救;挽回) the season for the woman's tour.
    Sharapova was given no easy ride in the tournament,having to beat 1999 champion Lindsay Davenport(达文波特)in the semifinals and twice-champion Serena Williams for the title.Neither caused her much concern.
"I don't remember too much about the final,"Sharapova giggled."I was in my own place."
    She will find it increasingly hard to find any place to call her own from now on after advertisers identified her as the most marketable woman in sport.
    In Russia she is sensational news.She headlined the news bulletins and was telephoned by former Russian President Boris Yeltsin after her triumph.
   Sharapova will return to her adoptive Florida home knowing life will never be the same again.
    But the girl who arrived in the US aged seven with her father and just US$700 is determined not to let fame and riches detract from her number one love,tennis.
"I know things will start coming up and that many more things will want to get involved,but I want to keep my head cool and play tennis,"she said.

6.In Antarctica(南极),when spring comes,ice begins to melt,and the sun stays in the sky all night long.
In the brightly world,the large gray head of a Weddell seal (威德尔海豹) appears through a crack (裂缝) in the ice.The seal takes several deep breaths,and then she opens her mouth,turning her head from side to side.With her teeth,she gets rid of bits of ice.Seals are mammalOs(哺乳动物),and they need to breathe air,for which Weddell seals use their teeth to make sure their breathing holes stay open.
The seal makes the hole bigger,and when she can fit her large body through it,she jumps out onto the ice-she is getting ready to have a baby.On the ice shelf,the seal gives birth to a baby.The baby is about three feet long and is covered with thick fur that protects it from the cold wind.The baby drinks its mother's milk and grows quickly.With a few weeks,it is more than six feet long.Under the seal's skin is thick layer of fat called blubber,which keeps the seal warm in its frozen world.
When the baby seal is about two weeks old,it begins to dive with its mother.They slide through the breathing hole into the water below the ice,where the baby seal learns to swim,diving deeper and deeper.In order to stay underwater,it must learn to hold its breath and control its heart rate.
Below the ice,the sun shines brightly through the hole.Finding the opening to breathe is easy,but getting back onto the slippery ice can be difficult for a young seal.With practice and its mother's help,the baby seal soon feels at home both on the ice and under it.
The young seal spends more and more time below the ice,where it learns to hunt for food.When the young seal is about two months old,it will have to feed itself independently.When it becomes an adult,it will swim farther out in search of food,but it will always live on or under the ice.

A.the function of Weddell seals'teeth
B.the living conditions of Weddlel seals
C.how Weddell seals move under the ice
