Question

【题目】

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to make money in order to pay for my brother' s education and mine. They don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. For them, "I love you" is too difficult to say. Even sending flowers to each other on some special days is hardly ever seen.

One day, my mother was repairing a quilt(被子). I silently sat beside her and looked at her. "Mum, may I ask you a question?" I said.

"What?" she replied, still doing her work. "Is there love between you and Dads" I asked her in a very low voice. My mother stopped her work and looked at me in surprise. She didn't answer my question at once. Then, she bowed her head and continued to do her work.

I was afraid that I had hurt her feelings. I felt so embarrassed that I didn't know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words:

"Look at this thread(线). Sometimes it appears, but most of the time, it hides in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there."

I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road. My father had never been so gentle. The doctor had said my father would recover in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. All of us were worried about him. "Dad, how are you feeling now" I asked him one day. "Susan, don't worry about me." he said gently. "To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mum. I like this kind of life. Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

【解析】

文章大意：短文主要通过作者自己父母之间的爱情故事，告诉我们：爱不是体现在外面的一些肤浅的表达，真正的爱应该是在内在的，爱情让生活变得坚强和温暖。

【1】

细节理解题。根据文中For them, "I love you" is too difficult to say. Even sending flowers to each other on some special days is hardly ever seen. 可知他们几乎不表达对相互之间的爱，因此作者有时怀疑她父母之间是否有真爱，故答案为D。

【2】

词义猜测题。根据文中If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there. 可知如果生活是一床被子，那么爱应该是一条线。无论何时何地都看不到它，但它确实存在可猜测出，下划线单词所在的句意应为“这条线真地使被子结实和耐用”，所以下划线单词意为“耐用的、持久的”，故答案为C。

【3】

细节理解题。根据文中I couldn't understand her until the next spring.可知，作者并没有马上理解他妈妈的话，故A项错误；从文中作者父母的经历中可知道，两个相爱的人并不一定经常说“我爱你”，故B项错误；从文中作者父亲生病，母亲的细心照顾可知，作者的父母是相爱的，故C项错误；根据文中If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime, but it's really there.可知，爱就在那里，不管你说不说，故D项正确，故答案为D。

Love is inside, making life strong and warm.曾经我以为爱意味着鲜花、礼物和甜蜜的吻，但从这次经历中，我明白了爱只是我们生活中被子里的一根线，爱在里面，让生活变得坚强和温暖可知，本文主要讲述了爱不是体现在外面的一些肤浅的表达，真正的爱应该是在里面，让生活变得坚强和温暖，故答案为B。
