Question

I had the meanest mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have eggs and toast. Others had cokes and candy for lunch while I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids’. But at least I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace(丢脸) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother actually had the courage to break Child Labor Law. She made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, our friends’ report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. Using this as a background, I’m now trying to bring up my three children. I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.

试题分析：
小题1:B 推理题。通读全文可知妈妈在服装，食物，作息时间，学习成绩方面对我们的要求很高，很苛刻。故B正确。
小题2:C 细节题。根据第三段第一行The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning.说明早睡早起是我们最痛苦的事情，故C正确。
小题3:A 推理题。根据文章倒数2,3行My mother, however, would merely be content with black marks. None of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.和She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.说明A正确。
小题4:A 推理题。在本文中作者实际上是在赞扬自己的母亲是一个伟大的母亲，但是她用了一种很幽默的方式来表达自己的情感。故A正确。
小题5:D 推理题。根据文章倒数1,2行I’m filled with pride when my children think I am mean because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the world.说明我对母亲充满了感激，故D项中说我恨母亲说法是错误的。故D符合题目要求。
点评：在本文中作者实际上是在赞扬自己的母亲是一个伟大的母亲，但是她用了一种很幽默的方式来表达自己的情感。以推理题的考查为主，解推断题最主要的方法是根据词义关系推断具体细节。?
