Question

阅读理解 　　World leaders burdened with resolving conflicts(冲突)between nations have my sympathy．When my three children were young, most days it was hard keeping my house from becoming a war zone．And that was before breakfast． 　　It got worse as they grew older．Three years aw, Zack, then 16, couldn’t make it through a day without playing tricks on his sisters, Alex and Taryn, then 11 and 9． 　　My husband and I tried to be understanding of his adolescent moodiness(喜怒无常)．We begged, reasoned, punished, and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how his behavior was hurting our family．His response was a shrug and“I say it because it’s true．” 　　I even tried telling the girls to fight back．Bad idea．Now I had three kids at war．At wit’s end．I poured my heart out to my sister in an e-mail．She wrote back,“Don’t e-mail me．E-mail him．” 　　Our son was online every day, mailing and instant messaging his friends．So what if I was within shouting distance?Maybe he would actually hear me this way．There’d be no yelling or door slamming．Zack wouldn’t feel under attack．And with a few simple keystrokes, he could respond．Or not．Zack didn’t reply for days．When he finally did, his entire message was four measly(少得可怜的)words．I expected the worst, but then smiled when I read them：“You’re right．I’m sorry,”The kids still fought, of course, but Zack scaled back the abuse．Best of all, I now have an effective way to communicate with not one but three easily annoyed teens．I like that they don’t tune me out as much．They like not having to listen to me nag(指责，唠叨)．Or as Alex says,“You’re so much nicer online．” 　　All I know is that the house is quiet, but we’re talking, in fact, Taryn just instant-messaged me from upstairs．It’s time to take her to softball practice． (1) The purpose of this passage is to tell us ________． [　　] A． the value of being e-literate B． how to solve family problems C． the value of understanding between parents and children D． how to treat kids in a more sensible (2) By the first sentence of the passage, the author really means to be ________． [　　] A． serious B． sympathetic C． humorous D． inspiring (3) How did Zack react when the author first tried to stop his bad behavior?

Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．C;3．B;4．B;
解析：

(1)	主旨推断题．作者用各种办法都阻止说服不了儿子，但网上的交流却解决了问题，作者的意图显然是强调“网络交流”的价值．
(2)	推理判断题．作者开头说对忙于解决世界冲突的领导人深表同情，目的是用一种幽默的风格引出作者自己的问题，与整篇文章轻松幽默的笔调保持一致．
(3)	细节理解题．当作者试图用各种办法来阻止儿子的行为时，他“耸肩”，表明他一点都没有改变，而且反驳了作者．
(4)	概括理解题．概括文章倒数第二段内容可以得出答案：作者因为上网跟儿子进行心平气和的交流，儿子改变了自己的行为． 　　本文是一篇极有趣味的记叙文．作者的三个孩子总是发生争斗，而这一切大都是由于作者的儿子Zack故意欺负两个女儿所引起的．作者想方设法阻止儿子，但没有成功．最后作者发电子邮件向姐姐求助，姐姐让他给儿子发电子邮件，网上推心置腹的交流改变了儿子的态度．
