Question

【題目】If there's one thing I' ve learned from my years of being a kid, it' s that you have ZERO control over your own life.

Ever since school ended, I haven' t had anything I' ve needed to do or anywhere I' ve needed to be. As long as the air-conditioning(空調(diào)) was working and the TV remote had batteries in it, I was ready for a relaxing summer holiday.

But then, out of the blue, this happened - " Pack your bags. We' re going on a road trip ! " Mom said excitedly.

This isn't the first time Mom has sprung a trip on us without any warming. Last year on the first day of summer, she said we were going .to visit Aunt Loretta at the nursing home.

It wasn't exactly my idea of a fun way to kick off the summer. One time when we visited Aunt Loretta, her roommate grasped me and wouldn't let me go until someone gave her a chocolate cookie !

Mom kept talking about going to the nursing home for a whole day, which made me worry a lot. But at breakfast the next morning, she told us where we were really going - Disney World.

I was very happy, because I was really worried about spending the whole week at the nursing home. So was Dad.

But when my little brother, Danny, heard about the change he became very angry. Mom had talked up the Aunt Loretta trip so much that Danny was actually excited about going there.

We ended up putting off our tip to Disney so we could visit Aunt Loretta.

I tried to talk Mom into letting us do something normal, like going to a water park for the day, but she didn't want to hear it. She said that spending a lot of time together in the car would be a " bonding" experience for the whole family.

【解析】

試題分析：從小孩開始，我學(xué)到了一件事情：我沒法控制自己的生活。就像媽媽帶給我們的“旅行”讓我不能在家里舒服的過假期，不斷變化，最后也沒有去我想去玩的地方。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由“As long as the air-conditioning(空調(diào)) was working and the TV remote had batteries in it, I was ready for a relaxing summer holiday.”可知我更想能在家里舒服地看電視。所以選D。

【2】推理判斷題。文章3、4段描述了媽媽的“旅行”總是來得很突然，并且我很不樂意和她去這些地方。因此我對(duì)她的“旅行”是很無助的，感到?jīng)]什么希望的。所以選C。

【3】推理判斷題。由“She said that spending a lot of time together in the car would be a " bonding" experience for the whole family.”以及文章中關(guān)于媽媽的描述來看，是媽媽一直在拿主意去旅行的目的地，其他人包括我、爸爸和弟弟都只是對(duì)她產(chǎn)生影響，但最終決定之后我們只能聽她的。所以選B。

【4】主旨大意題。文章主要是向我們介紹了童年時(shí)期媽媽的“荒唐旅行”破壞我的完美假期的經(jīng)歷。所以選D。
