Question

Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.

   Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.  

   The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention(注意). 

   Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.

   The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（應(yīng)得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.

試題分析：

【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了“媽媽和我”的這個(gè)活動(dòng)組織，文章強(qiáng)調(diào)每個(gè)孩子都應(yīng)該和父母單獨(dú)相處一段時(shí)間。這樣可以讓孩子得到更好的關(guān)愛。

1.B考查文章的主旨和要義。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的內(nèi)容The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（應(yīng)得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.可知，“媽媽和我”的活動(dòng)即媽媽和孩子單獨(dú)在一起有很多好處，文章3、4段也具體談到這個(gè)問題，最后一段進(jìn)行總結(jié)。故選B。

2.B考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章第三段中的When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions.可知，當(dāng)她回來時(shí)，很多孩子問她許多問題，這表明她們很好奇。故選B。

3.A考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak.可知，在我們的活動(dòng)中，口吃的兒子也不口吃了。說明說話沒有問題了。故選A。

4.C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章最后一句Every child deserves（應(yīng)得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.可知，每個(gè)孩子都值得和自己的父母單獨(dú)相處一段時(shí)間。故選C。
