8．I had the meanest mother in the whole world．While other kids ate candy for breakfast，I had to have cereal，eggs or toast．While others had Cokes and candy for lunch，I had to eat a sandwich．As you can guess，my supper was different from the other kids too．But at least I wasn't alone in my sufferings．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 where we were going．The worst is yet to come．We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning．We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends．She made us work．We had to wash dishes，make beds，and learn to cook．We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day．
Through the years things didn't improve a bit．We could not lie in bed"sick"like our friends did and miss school．Our marks in school had to live up to expectations．Our friends'report cards had beautiful colors on them，black for passing，red for failing．My mother，being as different as she was，would be satisfied with nothing less than ugly black marks．
As the years rolled by，we graduated form high school．With our mother behind us，talking and demanding respect，none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dorp-out．We all attained higher education．None of us have ever been arrested or divorced．Each of my brothers served his time in the service of this country．She forced us to grow up into God-fearing，educated，honest adults．I am now trying to raise my three children．I am filled with pride when my children call me mean．Why？Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world．

分析 本文敘述了作者的母親比較吝嗇，她對作者兄妹幾個無論是學習和生活要求都非常嚴，與其他的家的孩子相比作者他們過得并不開心，可是現(xiàn)在作者已經(jīng)是三個孩子的母親，這時已經(jīng)理解了母親的用心．

解答 32-35：BCBD
32．B  推理判斷題 根據(jù)第一段While other kids ate candy for breakfast，I had to have cereal，eggs or toast．While others had Cokes and candy for lunch，I had to eat a sandwich．可知，作者是用實在的例子來證明自己的母親是一個非常吝嗇的人，故答案為B
33．C 推理判斷題 本文敘述了作者認為自己的母親比較吝嗇，根據(jù)實例可知其實她對作者兄妹幾個無論是學習和生活要求都非常嚴，故答案為C
34．B 細節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)My mother，being as different as she was，would be satisfied with nothing less than ugly black marks．可知，對于black marks媽媽是非常不滿意的，會很生氣，故答案為B
35．D 推理判斷題 根據(jù)最后兩句I am now trying to raise my three children．I am filled with pride when my children call me mean．Why？Because now I thank God every day for giving me the meanest mother in the whole world．可知，作者對于媽媽的良苦用心終于理解了，表達出了對母親的感激之情，故答案為D

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關系，對未說明的趨勢或結局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準確把握作者觀點．

17．A new U．S．government report says more than two million Americans fall ill each year with
drug-resistant bacterial infections（感染），and 23，000of them are dying as a result．The head of the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention[CDC]said that the number probably will grow．Officials warn that steps must be taken now to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotic（抗生素）drugs．
Without urgent action to stop that trend，warned Tom Frieden whose agency wrote the report，the miracle drugs to fight them won't be available in the future．
"If we are not careful，the medicine chest will be empty when we go there to look for a lifesaving antibiotic for someone with a deadly infection．But if we act now，we can preserve these medications while we continue to work on development of new medicines．"The report names a drug-resistant abuse of gonorrhea（淋�。瑆hich causes about one quarter of a million hospitalizations in the United States annually．Of the number at least 1 4，000result in death．
Drug resistance develops through the overuse and inappropriate use of anti-bacterial agents．These can be：doctors prescribing（開藥） them to patients who have viral infections that are not affected by medicine meant to fight bacteria；patients not taking all of their medicine as prescribed，so the bacteria making them sick are only weakened，not killed；antibiotic use in healthy farm animals to prevent illness and promote growth．Antibiotic remainders left in meat and animal products can then lead to drug resistance in humans．
To limit the spread of resistant infections，experts recommend wider use of routine
immunizations（預防），as well as hand-washing in hospitals and other health care facilities．Also，the report urges hand-washing by food handlers．
Michael Bell，deputy director of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion at CDC，said Patients also can play a role in preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics by asking health care providers a few simple questions．

29．What's the best title of the passage？C
A．Drug Resistance Developing Quickly in the US
B．Drug-Resistant Bacterial Infections Growing in the US
C．Actions for Preserving Anti-Bacterial Medications in the US
D．Preventions of Drug-resistant Bacterial Infections in the US
30．According to Frieden，we must take measures without delay to preserve effectiveness of antibiotics，orB．
A．we will have to develop better medicines in place of antibiotics
B．there may be no effective anti-bacterial drugs for use in the future
C．we can't find other medicines to cure serious illnesses in the future
D．more and more Americans will suffer from bacterial infections each year
31．Of those patients admitted to the hospital because of a drug-resistant abuse of gonorrhea annually，deaths add up toA．
A．a(chǎn)t least 5.6%  B．a(chǎn)bout 25%    C．a(chǎn)bout 1.4%    D．a(chǎn)t least 2.5%
32．One of the approaches through which drug resistance develops is thatA．
A．people eat the meat with Antibiotic remainder in animals
B．doctors prescribe less antibiotics than needed for patients
C．doctors prescribe much more antibiotic than needed for patients
D．patients don't take their ant-bacterial agents that doctors prescribe．

18．When I was about twelve，I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family．It was winter，and on that particular night，the wind was really blowing．As my mom and I headed towards the restaurant from our car，a girl about my age and her mother came up to us．They asked if we had any spare change．My mom immediately asked where they kept their things．They pointed to an old car in a parking across the street．The girl said there were six of them living in that car，which was the same size as my own family．
My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars．She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings（兄弟姐妹）．But she didn't come．
Later，I found out she had gone home and practically emptied our cupboards into a few bags．Then，she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family．I wasn't there when that part happened，but I can only imagine the joy it brought to their faces．
A few days later，when I actually found out about what she had done，I asked her why she helped those people．She told me that they were not lucky．I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change； she was the same age as me，yet we looked so different．
Here I stood，dressed in almost new clothes，headed to dine in a restaurant and then back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister．I remember thinking that the girl didn't have any food to eat and that she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people．After painting this picture in my mind，I understood why my mom had done what she did．I will never forget what she did that night，and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned．
33．Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph？A
A．The girl's family lived a hard life．
B．The author was happy to go to a restaurant．
C．The girl's family lived in an old house．
D．There were more members in the author's family than in the girl's．
34．How did the author feel when she knew what her mother had done？A
A．She should value what she had．
B．Her mother shouldn't help the strangers．
C．She must work hard to reward her mother．
D．She was unlucky to have such living conditions．
35．What is the best title of the passage？D
A．How to support the poor family          
B．A friend in need is a friend in deed
C．The hard life of a little girl's family       
D．A lesson in kindness from my mum．
