One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said, “Oh, that’s 10 ” and then went back to mop the floor.
“Don’t you ever 11?” I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She had no idea I was 12upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I 13her bow important it was to me.
At last I just blew up. “Mom, this has got to 14 . You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s 15than if fighting. Well, I’m sick of it.” This all came as a 16to her.

1.A。通过下文看,Jenny讲述了自己从忍气吞声到最终摆脱出来的过程。而在此过程中,她经历了从妥协到气愤以最后跟妈妈理论争得尊严的过程。因此,选“徘徊”最能说明这个过程。
2.D。break free“挣脱;获得心灵、精神上的解放”,符合最终Jenny争得自己尊严的结果。本题不能想当然凭搭配关系去选择答案。break out“战争、争吵、火灾等爆发”;break down“出故障”;break up“破裂、关系等中断”。
3.B。从后文看,这儿指的是我跟妈妈的“问题、矛盾”的出现。A项“关系”不符合逻辑,不能说我跟妈妈的关系是从某一天开始的。
4.C。when引导定语从句,修饰前面的名词day,作状语。
5.D。take此处意思是“接受,理解”,此处指我并未真正了解妈妈对她的讽刺口吻,仅仅是理解了她所说的话的字面意义。
6.C。talk back“还嘴,顶嘴”,此处指我决定忍气吞声,不跟妈妈顶嘴。
7.A。even if引导让步状语从句,当“即使”讲,此处意为:即使妈妈说的不对,也不去顶撞她。
8.B。此处指我总是不顶撞妈妈,妈妈说什么就是什么,因此用whatever“无论什么”,意即:你说什么都行。
9.B。此处指我总是不顶撞妈妈,但内心的怒气在聚集。
10.C。从下文我生气可知,此处指妈妈敷衍我的话,意为“好啊”,表现出妈妈对我的学业漠不关心。
11.A。care“关心,在乎”,此处我在内心里发问:妈妈关心过我吗?
12.C。even此处用来加强语气。进一步说明妈妈对我漠不关心,意为:她甚至不知道我生气了。
13.D。此处句子结构是虚拟语气,假如我告诉妈妈,她会明白学业对我来说有多么重要。
14.B。我最后终于爆发,对妈妈说:“这一切需要改变了。”我不能再忍气吞声了。
15.B。我在申诉:“我忍气吞声总比与你发生争执对大家来说更容易。”
16.A。表示妈妈没有预料到我会这么生气,而且向她申诉。surprise用作可数名词,当“令人吃惊的事情”讲。
17.B。表示我和妈妈的关系有了新的“开端”。start all over表示“重新开始”。
18.A。share ... with ... 与妈妈分享(交流)自己的感情,符合题意和搭配。
19.C。后面的介词是toward,因此只有选“态度”才符合题意。
20.D。我最后发表议论,“忍气吞声”,把自己的真实感情“隐藏”起来对健康不利。

  All of my childhood and early, adult life, my mom weighed over 220 pounds (one pound = 0.454 kilograms). I could feel the pain that my mom experienced with her fatness.

    I was never uncomfortable about my mother, but I think she was uncomfortable about herself, and that feeling was painful for all of us. And she began to lose weight.

     After more than twenty years of battling obesity(肥胖), my mother completed a forceful eighteen-month diet that left her ninety pounds lighter than before. A new woman was born! At age twenty-eight, I got a new mom! For the first time, I met the woman my mother truly was, the beautiful little lady under the fatness. It wasn’t so much her new body that was the surprise, but rather her new spirit.

    To celebrate her new size and to devote herself to dancing again, my mother joined a “Mrs. Forty-Plus” competition, where she would have to model, give a speech and provide a dance performance. She told our family that she did not care if she won — she simply had always wanted to perform on stage.

    She told each one of us, “I’m not doing it to win; I’m doing it to dance!”

    The competition was exciting! I prayed(祈祷) that my mom would win, but while watching her on stage I was simply overjoyed just by her effort. To me, she had already won. She posed to perfection, her speech brought tears to everyones eyes, and her performance was wonderful.

    That night, at age fifty-three, my mother was crowned (为......加冕) “Mrs. Forty-Plus”. She was the first person in our family to ever win such a title.

The first two paragraphs mainly show that the author’s mom was __________.

   A. experienced      B. painful      C. comfortable        D. fat

      A. 85 kilograms           B. 41 kilograms   

       C. 130 pounds         D. 90 pounds

In order to join in the “Mrs. Forty-Plus” Competition, the author’s mom has to do the following EXCEPT __________.

      A. providing a dance performance         

       B. telling a funny story about herself

       C. giving a speech to a large number of people

      D. wearing special clothes to show to people
