Question

【题目】 Facebook is a place where we share and celebrate memories with our friends and family. We post words and pictures honoring birthdays, anniversaries and weddings. We also show respect to the people we lost, and find sympathy and support among our friends.

Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, recently shared a moving post about her late husband, Dave Goldberg, on what would have been his 48th birthday.

“Today my family and friends and I mourn that he was taken away from us so suddenly and so young,” wrote Sandberg, 46, tagging Goldberg’s memorial page. “It has been a long 22 weeks, grappling moment to moment and day to day with the often overwhelming void (空虚) that his death has left in our lives.”

She shared photos of Goldberg—one from their wedding and the other of what appears to be him as a child. The Facebook manager went on to thank her family and friends for their ongoing support, and to praise her husband’s achievements as a father and CEO of the company Survey Monkey.

Sandberg said in a Facebook post back in June, in ceremony of the end of the first month for her husband’s death, “I was talking to a friend Phil about a father-child activity that Dave is not here to do. We came up with a plan to fill in for Dave. I cried to him, ‘ But I want Dave. He put his arm around me and said, ‘Option A is not available. So let’s just kick the shit out of option B.”

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述Facebook是一个我们与朋友和家人分享和庆祝回忆的地方。我们张贴文字和图片来纪念生日、纪念日和婚礼。Facebook的首席运营官Sheryl Sandberg最近分享了一篇感人的文章，讲的是她已故的丈夫Dave Goldberg，当时正值他48岁的生日。

【1】细节理解题。文中“Facebook is a place where we share and celebrate memories with our friends and family. ” Facebook是一个我们与朋友和家人分享和庆祝回忆的地方。同D选项“Facebook is a place where we exchange something we remember with people around us”

Facebook是我们与周围的人交流记忆的地方，意义一致，故选D项。

【2】词义猜测题。文中“Today my family and friends and I mourn that he was taken away from us so suddenly and so young,” wrote Sandberg, 46, tagging Goldberg’s memorial page. “It has been a long 22 weeks, grappling moment to moment and day to day with the often overwhelming void (空虚) that his death has left in our lives.” Sandberg，46岁，在Goldberg的纪念页面上写道:“今天，我的家人和朋友都为他这么突然这么年轻地离开了我们而感到悲伤。”“已经22周，我们时刻同他的死亡在我们的生活中留下的压倒性空虚进行斗争。”前半句在为Goldberg的离世感到悲伤，所以下文应该是同他死亡留下的空虚进行斗争，挣扎，同B选项struggling斗争，挣扎意义一致，因此选B项。故选B项。

【3】推理判断题。文中 “Sandberg said in a Facebook post back in June, in ceremony of the end of the first month for her husband’s death”今年6月，在她丈夫去世的第一个月底的仪式上，桑德伯格在Facebook上发帖说。可以推断Sandberg的丈夫是在5月份去世的，其他选项没有提及，因此选A项。

【4】推理判断题。文中“Option A is not available. So let’s just kick the shit out of option B.” A选项不存在，所以让我们尽可能用B选项吧。根据前文可知，因为Dave离世无法进行亲子活动，所以Phil的意思应该是找人来代替Dave，因此选D项。
