解析:
这是一道细节推断题。第一段 As a single parent,I tried to do my best to talk to him,but the more I tried,the more he pulled away.说明自从父亲去世后,Karl变得沉默寡言。 这是一道细节推断题。根据第三段的内容可判断出这位母亲的话语深深打动了“校长”。 这是一道猜义题。最后一段 Karl's next report showed a marked improvement in his grades.Finally,he even made the honor roll说明 Karl取得了很大进步,他甚至被列人到学校最好的学生名单。 这是一道主旨题。这篇短文讲述了一位母亲想方设法使自己的孩子摆脱失去父亲的痛苦,说明母爱在青少年的生活中起到了重要的作用。 |
