Question

【题目】My 3-year-old son and I lived a very hard life because I had been out of work since two years ago. Being poor is a terrible feeling when your 3-year-old finishes his meal and says: “Can I have some more bread and jam （果酱） please, Mummy?” And you break down in tears, because you don’t know how to tell him that there is no more food. With ￡6, I went to the supermarket, picked up some food and started to cook at home. It was time for me to make a change and get back on my feet. I began to write a series of articles for the website named Hunger Hurt in July 2011.

A few months later, local food bank gave me some help-- with some free vegetables every month, which made my life a little easier. I began to write recipes（食谱）, posting them on my blog. To my surprise, families, students and those poor people told me how much it helped to see healthy recipes made from affordable supermarket vegetables.

My Life took unexpected turns. I was invited to give a speech on food , interviewed for an Oxfam report on food banks and asked to write a cookery book.

When I got the money from the book, for the first night in almost two years, I went to bed without worrying. Now, I have a well-paid job and a beautiful home, and I’ll never forget the days when I worked hard for a good life.

Which could be the best title?

A．what a loving mother

B．A lesson hard life teaches me

C．A mother’s dream job

D．Success lies in your own hands

Answer 1

【答案】D

【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲述的是一位妈妈努力奋斗，从而使自己和孩子的生活得到改变的励志故事。作者由于没有工作而和孩子过着艰苦的生活，后来作者通过写一些菜谱上传到博客上而使得自己的生活有所改观。

D 主旨大意题。根据对文章的整体理解，可以知道这篇文章主要讲述的是一位妈妈通过自己的努力改善生活的故事，故选择D最为恰当，意为成功掌握在自己手中。选项A说的是一位有爱心的妈妈，和文中大意不符，文章讲的是努力而不是爱心；选项B说的是艰苦生活教给我的，文章并未提及；选项C意为母亲梦想的工作，而文章并未提到这位妈妈的梦想职业。
