Question

閱讀理解 　　World leaders burdened with resolving conflicts(沖突)between nations have my sympathy．When my three children were young, most days it was hard keeping my house from becoming a war zone．And that was before breakfast． 　　It got worse as they grew older．Three years aw, Zack, then 16, couldn’t make it through a day without playing tricks on his sisters, Alex and Taryn, then 11 and 9． 　　My husband and I tried to be understanding of his adolescent moodiness(喜怒無常)．We begged, reasoned, punished, and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how his behavior was hurting our family．His response was a shrug and“I say it because it’s true．” 　　I even tried telling the girls to fight back．Bad idea．Now I had three kids at war．At wit’s end．I poured my heart out to my sister in an e-mail．She wrote back,“Don’t e-mail me．E-mail him．” 　　Our son was online every day, mailing and instant messaging his friends．So what if I was within shouting distance?Maybe he would actually hear me this way．There’d be no yelling or door slamming．Zack wouldn’t feel under attack．And with a few simple keystrokes, he could respond．Or not．Zack didn’t reply for days．When he finally did, his entire message was four measly(少得可憐的)words．I expected the worst, but then smiled when I read them：“You’re right．I’m sorry,”The kids still fought, of course, but Zack scaled back the abuse．Best of all, I now have an effective way to communicate with not one but three easily annoyed teens．I like that they don’t tune me out as much．They like not having to listen to me nag(指責，嘮叨)．Or as Alex says,“You’re so much nicer online．” 　　All I know is that the house is quiet, but we’re talking, in fact, Taryn just instant-messaged me from upstairs．It’s time to take her to softball practice． (1) The purpose of this passage is to tell us ________． [　　] A． the value of being e-literate B． how to solve family problems C． the value of understanding between parents and children D． how to treat kids in a more sensible (2) By the first sentence of the passage, the author really means to be ________． [　　] A． serious B． sympathetic C． humorous D． inspiring (3) How did Zack react when the author first tried to stop his bad behavior?

Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．C;3．B;4．B;
解析：

(1)	主旨推斷題．作者用各種辦法都阻止說服不了兒子，但網上的交流卻解決了問題，作者的意圖顯然是強調“網絡交流”的價值．
(2)	推理判斷題．作者開頭說對忙于解決世界沖突的領導人深表同情，目的是用一種幽默的風格引出作者自己的問題，與整篇文章輕松幽默的筆調保持一致．
(3)	細節理解題．當作者試圖用各種辦法來阻止兒子的行為時，他“聳肩”，表明他一點都沒有改變，而且反駁了作者．
(4)	概括理解題．概括文章倒數第二段內容可以得出答案：作者因為上網跟兒子進行心平氣和的交流，兒子改變了自己的行為． 　　本文是一篇極有趣味的記敘文．作者的三個孩子總是發生爭斗，而這一切大都是由于作者的兒子Zack故意欺負兩個女兒所引起的．作者想方設法阻止兒子，但沒有成功．最后作者發電子郵件向姐姐求助，姐姐讓他給兒子發電子郵件，網上推心置腹的交流改變了兒子的態度．
