【正文】 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(shí)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(shí)際上是非常糟糕的，這是我們的祖母和母親所反對的。可知，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(jī)會實(shí)現(xiàn)她的夢想。不是每個美國女人都這么幸運(yùn)?？赏浦诿绹?，并不是所有的女性都有機(jī)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(jī)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(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)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。7．閱讀理解 You probably know the basics of how paratives(比較級) and superlatives(最高級) work in the English language. When paring something, you often add an er to the end of the parative adjective. The general rule is that onesyllable(音節(jié)) words get the suffix(后綴), and polysyllabic words get more or most. That is, unless the twosyllable word ends in a y。 if that39。s the case, you will add the suffixes and change the y to an i. But what about the word fun? This simple adjective only has one syllable, so you39。d think you39。d add suffixes on it to create superlatives. But if you were to say I think Magic Kingdom is a funner park than Epcot. or Disney World was the funnest vacation ever! you might get some strange looks. It doesn39。t sound quite right. But…why? Fun is one syllable, so why do we choose more fun as the parative—especially considering that the similar word funny, which has more syllables than fun, uses the suffixes with no problem? Well, the problem es from the fact that the word fun was not originally an adjective. Until the early 19th century, it was mostly just a noun, and it gained its meaning as amusement in the 18th century. But as early as the 1800s, people began using it as an adjective, the way we39。d describe a fun time or a fun place today. Basically, language is still developing. Grammarians have mostly e around to the use of fun as an adjective (though some dictionaries still call it informal). There was (and remains) an agreement of Fine, you can use ‘fun39。 as an adjective…but, like, it39。s not really one, so it can39。t follow the rules of real adjectives. So they also agree that the answer to is funner a word? is yes. If you want to consider fun, as an adjective, then funner is indeed a word, as is funnest. But this doesn39。t mean that more fun and most fun are incorrect, though。 in fact, in formal writing, you39。ll probably still want to use those instead of funner and funnest. The English language is chockfull of uncertain grammar rules。 there39。s no need to insist that a word breaks the mon rules of language just because we didn39。t used to use it in a way we do now.（1）How do paratives and superlatives work in the English language?

But as early as the 1800s, people began using it as an adjective, the way we39。d describe a fun time or ‘a(chǎn) fun place“today.”直到19世紀(jì)早期，它還只是一個名詞，到了18世紀(jì)才有了娛樂的含義。但早在19世紀(jì)，人們就開始把它用作形容詞，我們今天用它來形容有趣的時間或有趣的地方?？芍^去的人們不習(xí)慣使用funner或funnest，部分原因是這個詞最初用作名詞。故選C。 （3）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“But what about the word fun? This simple adjective only has one syllable, so you39。d think you39。d add suffixes on it to create superlatives.”但是樂趣這個詞呢?這個簡單的形容詞只有一個音節(jié)，所以你會認(rèn)為你應(yīng)該在它上面加上后綴來創(chuàng)造最高級。以及倒數(shù)第二段中的“So they also agree that the answer to is funner a word? is yes.”所以他們對funner是一個詞嗎?的說法是肯定的。本文主要內(nèi)容都是圍繞著fun的比較級和最高級變化規(guī)則展開論述，故A選項(xiàng)funner是一個詞嗎？符合文章主旨。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇文化知識類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 A study of 3,884 students from primary schools to colleges found that examinations made percent of primary students anxious, and more than 40 percent of high school children were out of sorts (身體不適)because of stress and anxiety. Moreover, 75 percent of the high school respondents admitted that they had problems talking to their parents and more than 55 percent of them found it hard to associate with other people, according to the study. It is not difficult to conclude that our children are not happy. Today39。s kids are ing home from school weighed down with backpacks full of books and worksheets. They are spending hours at desk at night
