Question

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all times clean and tidy.

You could turn your back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a half­written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had “put it back where it belonged” as she explained.

My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused (疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.

These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有……的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find that every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. “Do you remember what I was doing？”was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.

Now my_sister_has_developed_a_second­hand_love_of_clean_windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.

1.Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?

A. She enjoyed removing others' drinks.

B. She became more and more forgetful.

【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲述了母亲希望她的房子整天保持清洁有序，用过的东西都是要放回原处的，在她的影响下,我们全家都养成了这个好习惯。

1.D 推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，一转眼的功夫，母亲就会把放在饭桌上的信和椅子上的杂志放到它们原本属于的地方，也就是母亲希望她的房子整天保持清洁有序，故选D。

2.B 推理判断题。根据第二段可知，如果你把读了一半的书放在椅子上走开,母亲会把书放回原位,所以“我妻子”找不到饼干是因为母亲把它拿走放回去了，故选B项。

3.D 句意理解题。这句话是说我妹妹在妈妈的影响下也开始喜欢干净明亮的窗户了，故选D项。
