Question

10．It seemed like there were quarrels every evening．My children were always fighting over something．They never agreed on who had last washed the dishes，or who had last picked the，TV program．I was tired of constantly being a judge．
One day，I thought over what my life was like before marriage．I recalled my high school days when the terms"Odd（奇數(shù)的）"day/and"Even"day meant something．My class schedule changed by turns between"O"days and"E"days．On O days I might attend Physics and Maths．And on E days I'd go to another elective class，such as First aid or Art．
So I explained our new system to the children．"Jolee，you were born first，"I said．"Is one an odd number or all even one？"
"It's odd，Mom．"
"And A1，you arrived second．Is two odd or even？"
"It's even，Mom．"
"Ok，so Jolee，from now on，every odd day is automatically your own special day．That means you get to pick what to watch，or which board game to play．Al，the same applies to you on even days．"
He thought about it a minute，then said，"But there are more odd days than even ones in some months．Jolee will get‘her day'two times in a row when a month ends in 31，and the next one begins with a one．"
"True，"I said，"but that also means she'11 be taking the smelly，disgusting rubbish out，washing the dishes，and doing other less-enjoyable things two more days in a row，and you won't．It's part of life's give-and-take．"
For the first few days after that，whenever one kid shouted，"Mom!"I'd just call out，"Whose day is it？"That settled it．Soon．the quarrelling ended．
Ah，the complete joy of peace and quiet！

Answer 1

分析 作者的兩個孩子經(jīng)常吵架，這令作者很厭煩．于是作者想了一個好主意：兩個孩子輪流"當權"，分別在奇數(shù)日和偶數(shù)日說了算，用這個辦法解決了兩個孩子在家里的爭吵．

解答 41．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容尤其是"It seemed like there were quarrels every evening．"和"I was tired of constantly being a judge．"兩句話可知，讓作者感到厭煩的是孩子們的爭吵，故選C．
42．C 推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段的"My class schedule changed by turns between"O"days and"E"days．"可知，作者的日程表每天都在變化，故選C． 
43．D 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文中的"Jolee，from now on，every odd day is automatically your own special day．That means you get to pick what to watch，or which board game to play．Al，the same applies to you on even days．"可知，作者的兩個孩子輪流"當權"，分別在奇數(shù)日和偶數(shù)日說了算，故選D．
44．A 詞義猜測題．結合劃線單詞give-and-take的上文可知，Jolee要付出很多勞動，做些不那么令人愉快的事情才能換來兩天的"特權"，這說明有付出才能有回報，因此用pay and reward付出和回報．其余選項success and failure成功和失敗，joy and pain苦與樂，work and rest工作和休息，都不符合上下文，故選A．
45．B 主旨大意題．文章主要記敘了作者想了一個聰明的辦法，用輪流當權的辦法解決了兩個孩子在家里的爭吵，最后一句"Soon．the quarrelling ended．"起了畫龍點睛的作用，故選B．

點評 本文是故事類閱讀，考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文中的相關句子，和題干進行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
