题目分析:文章大意:本文是妈妈写给女儿的一封信。作者回忆了自己小时候的经历,以及给女儿取名字的由来。
小题1:D考查细节理解。根据文章第一段You, little daughter, are the link to our female line, the legacy of other woman’s pain and sacrifice 31 years ago.可知对作者来说1990年6月6日这一天是一个特别的日子,是因为她的母系得到了很好的传承。故D正确。
小题2:B考查推理判断。根据文章第二、三段作者的叙述可知作者母亲迫于无奈,不得不把她送到孤儿院。从作者描写的语气可以判断出对于她的被送走,她是痛苦的但又理解的。故B正确。
小题3:D考查句意理解。根据文章第五段中In a family of blue-eyed blonds, though.和Whether from jealousy or someone who looked so different都可以判断出作者在那些孩子中看起来与其他人不同。故D正确。
小题4:A考查推理判断。根据文章第五段,尤其最后Lacking a mirror image in the mother who raised me, I had to seek my identity as a woman on my own. The Asian American community has helped me regain my double identity.可以判断作者过去经历了一次身份危机。故A正确。
小题5:C考查推理判断。根据文章第五、六、七段可知,作者自身经历了身份危机。因此,妈妈给女儿取名“少明”是为了让她女儿避免她小时候的困扰。故C正确。
小题6:B考查句意理解。此句的字面含义为“你的过去比我更完整”。根据此句后句and each day I cradle you in your babyhood, generously giving you the loving care I lacked for my first two years.可以判断妈妈意味着她将给予更多的慈母般的爱和归属感。故B正确。
