Question

17．The Albinas married when Mr．Albina was 30，and they spent the early marriage in Argentina．Then they decided to move to Chile，which meant they had to cross the Andes Mountains．They and their 20s sons made the difficult two-week journey on horses．One night there was a terrible snow storm in the mountains，during which Mrs Albina gave birth to triplets （三胞胎），a boy and two girls．
    Mrs Albina now has 30 more girls，including the twins who are 15 months old．The oldest Albina children are in their 30s and 40s．They are on their own now，but 18 of the kids still live with their parents in a two-room house．The house has electricity but no toilet or running water．Clearly，the Albinas don't have enough money and food for the big family．Why，then，do they continue to have children？
The Albinas do not use birth control because it is against their religion．They can let other people take care of their kids，but Mrs Albina doesn't allow it．"When we were babies，"she said，"our mother left us at an orphanage and never returned．Then a couple adopted my brothers，and I was left behind．I was heartbroken．I promised that when I became a mother I would never give my children away．"
     So the Albina family continues to grow．They have so many kids that they run out of names and have to give some children the same name．There are three Susannas，three Miriams，two Estrellas，and two Soledades．
     Will the family stop at 53 kids？Mr Albina is 77，and Mrs Albina is 59．"I am getting old，"she said with a smile，"and I would like God to think of me and consider my age．But if God sends more children to me，yes，there will be more．"

31．What is said about the children in the Albinas in the passage？D

Answer 1

分析 本文作者主要介紹了一個擁有眾多子女的大家庭．由于Albinas夫婦認為如果采取節(jié)育措施，會有違他們的宗教信仰，因此到目前為止，他們共生育了53個子女，雖然其中大部分都已經(jīng)獨立生活了，但仍有18個孩子和他們生活在一起；由于Albina 太太在童年時有被母親遺棄的經(jīng)歷，所以盡管生活很艱難，她也不愿意把孩子送給別人去撫養(yǎng)．最后，Albinas太太表示，如果上帝還會給她更多的孩子，她也會欣然接受的．

解答 答案：DACD
31．D   細節(jié)推理題   根據(jù)第一段"They and their 20s sons made…"，以及第二段"Mrs Albina now has 30 more girls，…but 18 of the kids still live with their parents in a two-room house．"可知：Albina 夫婦有20個兒子，30多個女兒，…但仍然還有18個孩子和他們住在一個僅有兩個房間的家里．因此這里表達的是大多數(shù)孩子都獨立了，故選D
32．A   細節(jié)推理題：根據(jù)第三段的"When we were babies，"she said，"our mother left us at an orphanage and never returned．"可知當Mrs Albina小的時候，她被母親遺棄在了孤兒院；因此她的童年是不幸的，故選 A 
33．C   細節(jié)推理計算題：根據(jù)第一段"The Albinas married when Mr．Albina was 30，"以及最后一段"Mr Albina is 77，and Mrs Albina is 59．"可知由于Albina夫婦結(jié)婚時，Mr Albina 30歲；而現(xiàn)在Mr Albina 77歲，Mrs Albina59歲，他們的年齡相差18歲；所以可推算Mrs Albina當時應是12歲，故選C
34．D  細節(jié)理解題：根據(jù)最后一段"I am getting old，"she said with a smile，"and I would like God to think of me and consider my age．But if God sends more children to me，yes，there will be more．"句意："我的年齡越來越大了，"Albina太太微笑著說，"我希望上帝能想到我，考慮到我的年齡，但如果上帝給我更多的孩子，是的，就會有更多的孩子．"由此可知，她對繼續(xù)生孩子的態(tài)度是順其自然，故選 D
