Question

Andy is the most unreasonable, pigheaded life form in the world, and he makes me so angry I could scream! Of course, I love him like a brother. I have to because he is my brother. More than that, he is my twin! That’s right. Andy and Amy(that’s me) have the same curly(卷曲的) hair and dark eyes and equally stubborn character. Yet, though we may look alike, on most issues(事情)  we usually take completely opposite positions. If I say day, you can count on Andy to say night.

Just this week, the hot topic in school was all about the PTA’S proposal(提議) to adopt a school dress principle. Every student would be required to wear a uniform. Uniforms! Can you imagine? Oh, they would be uniforms in color. The dress style would be sort of loose and free.

I think a dress principle is a good idea. The reason is simple. School is tough enough without worrying about looking cool every single day. The fact is, the less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I also wouldn’t mind not having to see guys wearing oversized jeans and shirts. And I certainly would welcome not seeing kids showing off designer clothes.

Andy is surprised at my opinion. He says he can’t believe that I would be willing to give up my all-American teenage birthright by dressing like — well, like a typical teenager. Last night, he even dragged out Mom and Dad’s high school photo albums. What a couple of peace-loving hippies(嬉皮士) they were!

The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results of the vote and the headmaster’s decision will be announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and I’m pretty sure I know how Andy voted.

How would you vote—for or against?

1.The story is about___________.

A. a school policy decision that will affect parents and students

B. a personal experience and is told in the first person

C. a historical event and is told in the third person

A. logical conclusions drawn form her own observation and personal experience

C. her preference for designer-labeled clothes

D. not liking anything her brother likes

3.Which of the following is the best statement of Andy’s position?

A. School clothing should reflect parents’ values.

B. Teenagers should never follow the latest fashions in dress.

C. How one dresses should be an expression of one’s individuality.

D. Wearing school uniforms means one less decision every morning.

4.What is the best title for the text?

4.D

【解析】

試題分析：文章講述了一對孿生兄妹，他們之間在很多事情上意見不一致，總是發生沖突。就最近學校的一個熱門話題來說，學校要為學生定制校服，我認為，學校定制校服是很好的事情，學生不應該穿奇裝異服，而他則認為，這樣不好，學生每個人都要穿著有個性。

1.B綜合理解題。本文講述了這對孿生兄妹在很多事情上意見不一，同時用學校買校服這一具體事情為例。a school policy decision that will affect parents and students本句的意思是：影響父母和學生的一項學校政策，由文意可知是錯誤的；a historical event and is told in the third person意思為：一件歷史事件，是以第三人稱敘述的，也是錯誤的；a conflict of opinions between boys and girls句意為：男生和女生之間觀點上的沖突。本文只是說明孿生兄妹在一些事情上的觀點不同，不能擴大范圍，故也是錯誤的，所以答案為B，意思是個人的經歷是以第一人稱講述的。

2.A細節理解題。I think a dress principle is a good idea. The reason is simple. School is tough enough without worrying about looking cool every single day. 本句的意思是：我認為，校服是一個很好的產意，學校的學習是很緊張的，不要去擔憂每一天看起來是不是很酷。另外，第三自然段的大意是我不喜歡看到學生穿著很肥胖的那種牛仔褲還襯衫，還有那些名牌服裝，所以答案應為A，Amy’的立場是基于自己的觀察和個人的經歷而得出的符合邏輯的結論。

3.C段落大意題。Andy is surprised at my opinion. He says he can’t believe that I would be willing to give up my all-American teenage birthright by dressing like — well, like a typical teenager. Last night, he even dragged out Mom and Dad’s high school photo albums. What a couple of peace-loving hippies(嬉皮士) they were!大意為：Andy對我的觀點很吃驚，他說，他相信，我不會樂意放棄所有青少年追求美麗的這種與生俱來的權利的，他拿出爸爸媽媽在高中的相冊來證明他的觀點是正確的。故答案應為C，How one dresses should be an expression of one’s individuality.一個人的穿著應該是他個人的展示。

4.D文意概括題。文章講述了針對學校的校服這對孿生兄妹而進行的爭論，校服到底是好還是壞，觀點不一樣，所以答案應為D，支持還是反對？---這還是一個問題。A意為：學校校服的規定；B為我固執的孿生兄弟；C為我和弟弟無休止的戰爭，從文章的整體看這三個選項屬于同一類型的錯誤，即片面性。

考點:日常生活類文章的閱讀理解。
