Amy returned to her small apartment at midnight, tired. Her worst fears raced through her mind. Would the court tell her she couldn’t care for her family anymore? Would the kids go through the sadness once more of being split up and sent away? She was so young, almost a child herself, and yet Amy knew everything depended on her. At that moment, she wondered if she would ever find the strength to see it through.
From earliest childhood, Amy took care of her younger brothers. Jan, their mother, only added to the family disorder and confusion because of her drug addict. Sometimes they lived in apartments, sometimes in shelters.
One afternoon Amy was called to the high school, where a social worker was waiting for her. “We’re going to have to put you guys in foster(收養(yǎng)) care.” the social worker said. “No! Don’t spilt us up!” the girl cried out. “Can’t you just leave it the way it is?” The social worker shook his head. Amy’s voice then rose like the howl of a lion protecting her babies: “Why can’t I take them? I take care of them all the time anyway.” The social worker hesitated, and then said, “Maybe. Once you’re 18, you could apply to become their relative caretaker. Then you’d be their foster mother until we find a home where all of you can be together.” “I’ll do it,” Amy said.
One month later, Amy was named guardian of her brothers for a six-month trial period. It was a remarkable victory for an 18-year-old girl. Her brothers didn’t make her task any easier in the months ahead. However,Amy’s efforts were rewarded when the court allowed her to continue as guardian. Amy’s relief at remaining the kids’ guardian was at risk of being taken away by the pressure she always
felt to measure up. Social workers still looked regularly over her shoulder and asked the boys shameful
questions: “Does she feed you? Does she ever try to harm you?” Then one day a visiting social worker
came over. “We’d like to get the boys adopted into homes,” she said. Sensing that the family was about to be split apart yet again, Amy replied, “Fine, then. Call it adoption if you want, but they’re not going anywhere.” To her surprise, the social worker took her remark seriously. She explained that if Amy were to adopt the boys, they would become like any other family.
That night at dinner Amy told the boys about the idea. “Cool!” Joey said. He threw a piece of corn at Adam. His brother flicked it back, and pretty soon corn was flying. Amy rolled her eyes. They didn’t have far to go to be like any other family. As the proceedings(程序)ended, Amy thanked everyone. “No,” the judge responded, “Thank you. You saved three kids. Not many family members would do what you’re doing, especially for this many children. I’m very proud of you.” 
On a lazy spring day, in a modest suburban neighborhood, Amy stood in front of a neatly kept one-story house. She watched her brothers playing basketball, and heard the playful bark of their dog, Tahoe. The young lady had made good on her promise: they had rented a home, a real home, and the boys had gotten their dog. Amy continues to raise her family alone, but has begun taking courses in business management at a nearby community college. Eventually, she hopes to become a child psychologist.
【小題1】 Which of the following best describes Amy?

A.Crazy and toughB.Firm and stubborn
C.Enthusiastic and generous D.Abnormal and aggressive.
【小題2】From Paragraph 3, we can learn that __________.
A.The social worker gave in to Amy.
B.The social worker tried to adopt Amy’s brothers.

【小題3】By saying “They didn’t have far to go to be like any other family”, the writer means________.
A.they will live in the same area as other families
B.they made a deep impression on the neighborhood
C.Amy is able to take good care of the family
D.Amy and her brothers would be already just like a family
【小題4】The best title for this text would be___________. 
A.Standing On Two FeetB.Growing Up Alone
C.A Lifelong FightD.A Teen Hero
【小題5】What does  the underlined word guardian in paragraph 4 mean?
A.保護者B.監(jiān)護人C.收養(yǎng)人D.引導人


【小題1】B
【小題2】A
【小題3】D
【小題4】D
【小題5】B

解析試題分析:。本文主要講述的是當Amy她的母親不能照顧他們,她勇敢的承擔起照顧弟弟的責任,之間經過了多種曲折,但是她堅持自己的想法,一直讓這個家庭保持完整。
【小題1】.B 推理題。根據(jù)文章內容可知當她的母親不能照顧他們,她勇敢的承擔起照顧弟弟的責任,這說明她很堅定。在有別的家庭要收養(yǎng)她的弟弟的時候她堅決反對,而且繼續(xù)照顧弟弟們說明她很固執(zhí)。故B正確。
【小題2】A 推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段最后3行The social worker hesitated, and then said, “Maybe. Once you’re 18, you could apply to become their relative caretaker. Then you’d be their foster mother until we find a home where all of you can be together.” “I’ll do it,” Amy said.可知對方做出了讓步。故A正確。
【小題3】D 推理題。根據(jù)后2句As the proceedings(程序)ended, Amy thanked everyone. “No,” the judge responded, “Thank you. You saved three kids. Not many family members would do what you’re doing, especially for this many children. I’m very proud of you.”可知他們最終沒有被拆開,仍然是一個完整的家庭。故該句是指D項正確。
【小題4】D 主旨大意題。本文主要講述的是當Amy她的母親不能照顧他們,她勇敢的承擔起照顧弟弟的責任,之間經過了多種曲折,但是她堅持自己的想法,一直讓這個家庭保持完整。在很多人的眼里,她就就是一個英雄,故D正確。
【小題5】B 推理題。根據(jù)本句One month later, Amy was named guardian of her brothers for a six-month trial period. It was a remarkable victory for an 18-year-old girl. Her brothers didn’t make her task any easier in the months ahead可知她成為了弟弟的短期的監(jiān)護人,故B正確。
考點:考察新聞報道類短文閱讀
點評:。本文主要講述的是當Amy她的母親不能照顧他們,她勇敢的承擔起照顧弟弟的責任,之間經過了多種曲折,但是她堅持自己的想法,一直讓這個家庭保持完整。推理判斷題屬于主觀題,是層次較高的題目。它包括判斷和推理題。這兩類題常常相互依存,推理是為了做出正確的判斷,正確的判斷又依賴于合乎邏輯的推理。該題要求在理解表面文字的基礎上做出判斷和推論,從而得到文章的隱含意思和深層意思,也就是通過文章中的文字信息,上下邏輯關系及事物的發(fā)展變化等已知信息,推斷出作者沒有直接表達的態(tài)度和觀點。

A
My friend Robert started a new job this week and he’s been in the training class for two days. The employer has a very strict dress code—dark blue shirts and pants.
On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn’t have the right clothes the next day. He explained, “Sir, I had not been told about this. Because of my larger size, it’s sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford.”
Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn’t lose the chance of work simply because he couldn’t afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case it was needed.
When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. “You have 10 minutes to be in proper clothes,” he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have 10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.
The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn’t accept such a gift from a stranger. Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收據(jù)) and couldn’t return them—a little white lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.
“My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn’t have enough to buy the clothes,” he told Robert. “It’s unbelievable to me that anybody would do such a thing for only knowing me a day!”
More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.
【小題1】If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____

A.be punishedB.be offered another job
C.put off the training classD.lose his job
【小題2】 The money which was paid for the clothes belonged to _____
A.the trainerB.the older man
C.the writer D.Robert
【小題3】How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?
A.He told the older man that he would lose his job if he did not take them.
B.He told a lie that the clothes didn’t fit himself.
C.He told the older man that he could save money and return it later.
D.He told the older man that he had no way to send them back.
【小題4】What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Proper clothes for a strangerB.Fight against strict rules
C.A strange employerD.An unbelievable thing
