Leaving my grandmother was far more frighteningthan the move to New York City. There would be nomore special weekends at my grandmother 's house, the on-ly place I can remember feeling happy, safe and nourished (f#J). It was what I desired. In this new city, I felt ex-tremely alone and lost, and I missed my grandmother ter-ribly.

My grandmother knew just how I felt. And she knewthe cure. Every week, she would send me a card with a$ 20 bill, a recipe and a list of what to buy at the mar-ket. It kept us bonded, and her recipes filled my bodyand soul, I

【1】C

【2】B

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。作者小時(shí)候，爸爸很胖，每周都需要嘗試一種新的食物來(lái)減肥，全家人都不得不與爸爸一起“試吃”，為此作者對(duì)爸爸意見(jiàn)很大。后來(lái)隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)，作者對(duì)父親也有了更深的理解，在選擇職業(yè)時(shí)也選了營(yíng)養(yǎng)師這份工作。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段第一、二句“Over the years...I have come to realize...as much as by a deep pain.”可知，這些年來(lái)，作者逐漸理解了父親，意識(shí)到他苦苦地與自己的體重作斗爭(zhēng)，不是虛榮和自私，而是對(duì)于自己的體重感到深深的痛苦。由此可知，C項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與題意相符。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二、三段內(nèi)容可知，作者和家人一起搬到了曼哈頓，離開(kāi)了祖母還有她做的精致美食，以致作者非常想念祖母，特別渴望去她的家里品嘗美味佳肴。

故選B。

【3】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第四段畫(huà)線詞前后內(nèi)容可知，作者的祖母知道作者心中的想法，每周會(huì)給作者寄20美元，一個(gè)食譜還有一個(gè)購(gòu)物單。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可推知，畫(huà)線詞所在句子意思是作者的祖母知道解決的辦法。因此畫(huà)線詞的意思與選項(xiàng)中solution的詞義最為接近。故選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段最后一句“And in spite of growing up in such an unhealthy eating environment...I found a passion and a career as a nutrition consultant.”可知，盡管在一個(gè)如此不健康的飲食環(huán)境中成長(zhǎng)(也許正是因?yàn)檫@一點(diǎn))，作者長(zhǎng)大后成為了一個(gè)營(yíng)養(yǎng)咨詢師。由此可知，作者童年的經(jīng)歷給他留下了很深的印象，因此，作者后來(lái)成為一名營(yíng)養(yǎng)咨詢師。故選D。

做推理判斷題時(shí)要善于抓住某一段話中的關(guān)鍵信息，即某些關(guān)鍵詞或短語(yǔ)去分析、推理、判斷，利用逆向思維或正面推理，從而推斷出這句話所隱含的深層含義。本題第1小題，根據(jù)第五段第一、二句“Over the years...I have come to realize...as much as by a deep pain.”可知，這些年來(lái)，作者逐漸理解了父親，意識(shí)到他苦苦地與自己的體重作斗爭(zhēng)，不是虛榮和自私，而是對(duì)于自己的體重感到深深的痛苦。由此可知，C項(xiàng)內(nèi)容與題意相符。
