That39。s the future our foremothers fought for.”每個人都應(yīng)該很幸運，能夠決定自己穿什么，如何度過時間。這就是我們的祖先為之奮斗的未來，可知，作者認(rèn)為在日常生活中擁有選擇的自由是我們的祖先為之奮斗的未來。故選B。 （2）考查代詞指代。根據(jù)第十三段中的“If you were taking care of a family, waiting on your husband, you had no time to follow your dreams, unless you made that your dream.”如果你要照顧一個家庭，服侍你的丈夫，你就沒有時間去追求你的夢想，除非你把它當(dāng)成你的夢想，可知，that指代的其實是前面的內(nèi)容，也就是taking care of a family, waiting on your husband。故選C。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第十四段中的“A lot of women took that approach. We call it Stockholm Syndrome now.”很多女性采取了這種方式。我們現(xiàn)在稱之為Stockholm Syndrome，可知，我們現(xiàn)在把1950s很多女性接受了這個方式生活下去的這個現(xiàn)象稱作Stockholm Syndrome。根據(jù)上文可知，1950s很多女性的生活方式則是——照顧家庭、服侍丈夫、沒有時間去追求自己的夢想，這對女性來講是不公平的，故選A。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“I think it39。s important to remember that being a 1950s housewife was actually totally awful, and something our grandmothers and mothers fought against.”我認(rèn)為重要的是要記住，作為一個50年代的家庭主婦實際上是非常糟糕的，這是我們的祖母和母親所反對的?？芍?，作者認(rèn)為20世紀(jì)50年代家庭主婦的生活很糟糕。故選C。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段中的“Holte has the chance to live out her fantasy. Not every woman in America is so lucky.”霍爾特有機會實現(xiàn)她的夢想。不是每個美國女人都這么幸運?？赏浦?，在美國，并不是所有的女性都有機會追逐自己的夢想。故選B。 （6）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段“We still don39。t have pay equality and in many states, we still don39。t have autonomy over our own bodies. Poor women and women of color still lack the opportunities of their wealthy and white peers.”我們?nèi)匀粵]有薪酬平等，在許多州，我們?nèi)匀粵]有對自己身體的自主權(quán)。貧困婦女和有色人種婦女仍然缺乏與富裕和白人婦女同等的機會。由可知，作者寫這篇文章的主要目的是讓讀者注意到女性所面臨的情況，尤其是那些貧窮和有色人種的情況。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，代詞指代，詞義猜測和推理判斷四個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 Children should do housework. That39。s a controversial idea, though not everyone will admit it. A few parents will declare that their children are too busy for housework. Many more of us assign housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn39。t get done. That39。s a problem. For starters, housework is good for kids. Being a part of the routine work of running a household helps children develop an awareness of the needs of others, while at the same time contributing to their emotional wellbeing. One small study, done over a period of 25 years, found that the best predictor for young adults success in their mid20s was whether they participated in household tasks at age 3 or 4. Those early shared responsibilities extended to a sense of responsibility in other areas of their lives. But for all that their help matters, few kids are doing much around the house at all. In a survey of 1, 000 American adults, 75 percent said they believed regular housework made kids more responsible. Yet while 82 percent reported having had regular housework growing up, only 56 percent of those with children said they required them to do housework. Sports and homework are not getoutofhouseworkfree cards. The goal, after all, is to raise adults who can balance a caring role in their families and munities with whatever lifetime achievement goals they choose. Housework teaches that balance. What should you do when getting children to do housework? Accept no excuses. Don39。t worry if you must repeat yourself again and again. If you39。re spending more time getting the child to do this job than it would take to do it yourself, then you39。re doing it right. Can an allowance help? Maybe. But if you39。re trying to teach kids to share the responsibility of a home, paying them for routine housework is not the right message.（1）What is most parents39。 problem with children doing housework?

Many more of us assign housework, or say we believe in them, but the housework just doesn39。t get done.”一些父母會說他們的孩子太忙了，沒有時間做家務(wù)。我們中更多的人會分配家務(wù)，或說我們相信他們，但家務(wù)就是做不完。可知少數(shù)家長覺得
