Question

    In a cold winter,a couple had to move out from the expensive house because of bankruptcy. The husband worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife. So she thought“he doesn't love me anymore,he just cares his business.. not me.”

One day she began to take a bath, he stopped her at the door. "Let me take it first, OK?" “Why not let me shower first," she asked. “I was tired, sweetie, you take it later, OK?” She was totally depressed.

On a morose(郁闷的) day , she found nothing to do and turned on his computer,a few words blurred her eyes. It was his diary.

Today,I was quite sad,she asked me why I was always taking the bath first,and I said to her,I was exhausted. She was unhappy ,in her mind,I treated her not as well as usual,but how can I do? I wasn't as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, there was only a shower in such a freezing winter. But I found that if one person took the shower first,the room could get a little warmer,so every time I rushed to the bathroom first. I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer,at least1℃,2℃ or 3℃.

Now I can't give her comfortable life,bring her the luxury restaurant, buy expensive dresses for her,but at least,I can give her 1℃ love.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对夫妻因为破产而从豪华的房子搬出来住进条件差的小房子，丈夫发现，如果一个人先洗澡，浴室就会暖和一点，至少暖和1℃，所以每次他都会先冲进浴室为他妻子准备暖和的水洗澡。

1.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a little warmer, so every time I rushed to the bathroom first.”可知，丈夫发现，如果一个人先洗澡，浴室就会暖和一点，所以每次他都会先冲进浴室。由此可知，丈夫总是先进去洗澡，是因为他想让浴室暖和一点。故选D项。

2.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“So she thought ‘he doesn't love me anymore, he just cares his business.. not me.’”和第二段最后一句“She was totally depressed.”可知，妻子感到沮丧是因为她认为老公不再爱自己了，他只关心他的生意。故选B项。

3.词义猜测。根据第一段中的“In a cold winter, a couple had to move out from the expensive house because of bankruptcy. The husband worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife.”可知，在寒冷的冬天，一对夫妇不得不搬出这所昂贵的房子, 并且丈夫日日语夜工作来养家。由此可知，划线词bankruptcy是导致“不得不搬出昂贵的房子, 并且日日夜夜工作”的原因，所以其意思是“失败，破产”，与D选项的意思相近。故选D项。

4.推理判断题。根据第三段中的“On a morose(郁闷的) day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer, a few words blurred her eyes.”可知，在一个闷闷不乐的日子里，她无所事事，打开他的电脑，几句话模糊了她的眼睛。由此可推知，她看完丈夫电脑里的日记后感动地哭了。故选C项。

5.主旨大意题。纵观全文，尤其根据最后第一段“Now I can't give her comfortable life, bring her the luxury restaurant, buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1℃ love.”可知，本文主要讲述了一对夫妻因为破产而从豪华的房子搬出来住进条件差的小房子，丈夫发现，如果一个人先洗澡，浴室就会暖和一点，至少暖和1℃，所以每次他都会先冲进浴室为他妻子准备暖和的水洗澡。由此可推知，“一摄氏度的爱”概括了本文的核心内容，适合做本文的标题。故选B项。
