Question

【题目】I've always felt a bit sad for weekend fathers, who are divorced and must maintain a bond with their children through visits on the weekend．Not having the opportunity for a lot of quality time, they go in for quantity giving lots of gifts and taking the children on non stop outings．

But now I can understand．I'm a weekend mom．My child, Henry, is a dog．

Henry just returned to his father, Jack, after a happy stay with me．For ten days, I fed him the best food, canceled plans to stay home with him and let him sleep on the bed every night．

Jack and I broke up a year ago．But neither of us wanted to part with Henry, so we share him．Not surprisingly, Henry is a willing participant in our contest for his love．

Jack doesn't let Henry sleep on his bed, so that's where I can always gain big points．I feed Henry higher quality food．I am always replacing his expensive “thingy" ,a cotton knot he likes chewing on．It' s his favorite toy, and the only one he has is at my house．Score another one for me．

Jack now has a girlfriend, Lucy．At first she was afraid of dogs, which secretly delighted me．But that Henry, just trying to be polite（the way I taught him to be）,won her over．

If truth be told, as time passes, there has been a slight change in Henry' s behavior toward me．The worst was one day when Jack dropped him off for a two week stay．Henry and I were in the backyard playing as Jack was driving off．When he heard Jack's truck, he ran after it for two blocks until Jack had to stop and bring him back．

That hurt, especially since I had friends over at the time．In a rare conciliatory （安抚的） mood, Jack said to me, "You know, I' m his best friend, but you'll always be his mom．"

Whatever it takes, I plan to make sure it stays that way．

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】

【1】细节理解.根据第三段作者在十天里都给Henry最好的食物（“For ten days, I fed him the best food”）。因此在作者家，Henry享有高质量食品（“enjoys high-quality food”）。

【2】细节理解.根据倒数第三段Henry对作者态度稍微有转变（“…there has been a slight change in Henry' s behavior toward me”）。

最后一段这让作者很难受（“That hurt…”）。因此作者难受是由于Henry对作者态度稍微有转变（“Henry' s attitude to her has changed slightly”）。

【3】主旨大意.根据全文，这篇文章是关于作者离婚后，为了赢得Henry狗的喜爱而发生的趣事。因此本文主要和作者为赢取Henry狗的喜欢而付出的努力（“the writer' s efforts to win a dog's love”）有关。

【4】写作特点.根据全文，本文用拟人的手法把Henry狗比作作者的孩子，把为讨好Henry的喜欢而发生的趣事写得诙谐幽默。因此选humorous,幽默的。Painful,痛苦的，不符合本文整体上记叙趣事的基调。
