Question

7．My dearest son and daughter，
    The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing （起诉） her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter．Let me just put this out there：the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a judge．
    There are two things about this case that seem to be disaster．
    First，it's natural for parents and children to argue．I can guarantee that we will disagree．One or both of you will，at some point，scream at the top of your lungs the various ways you hate me．And I won't always li ke you，either．But I will always love you and do everything I can to keep your best interests as my focus，even when I'm so angry．We are family．That means we are as much a part of one another as the flesh，blood and bones in our body．And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond．
Second，I'll be honest，no matter how far apart we are on your life choices，your father and I will most certainly pay everything we can for your higher education．But that doesn't mean you deserve it．To be clear，that is a privilege we happily extend （给予） to you-not a right you are born with．And you will have to work hard to earn that privilege．Growing up is hard work．
    If I do my job properly as your mother-and you do yours as my children-you would sooner get a job or two，and find a way to make your dreams come true than go to trial over what you think you have the right to．
 Love always，
  Mom

Answer 1

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一位妈妈写给她孩子的信，信中传达给孩子一方面她爱他们，会尽全力照顾他们；另一方面，孩子的教育是他们的优势，但是得靠自己的努力挣得，并非理所当然．

解答 21．B．推理判断题．根据文章第一段"The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing （起诉） her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter．"可知妈妈写信的目的是想让孩子从此案例中学到启示；故选B．
22．C．细节理解题．根据文章第三段第一句"And we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond．"可知，父母和孩子意见不一致是很正常的，从此段最后一句"we all should think about it very deeply instead of breaking that bond．"可知出现矛盾时．父母希望孩子不要破坏家庭成员之间的纽带；故选C．
23．C．推理判断题．根据倒数第二段"To be clear，that is a privilege we happily extend （给予） to you-not a right you are born with．"可看出，这个妈妈认为父母支付孩子的高等教育费用是父母乐意给予的荣幸，但是并非生来就有；故选C．

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
