Question

Fear plays no part in this latest problem．“I’m not afraid I'll lose my children．I won't lose my children. We live together, and nothing, nothing,”she repeats, her voice rising when speaking to John's lawyer, “will stop me from being with my children. A law? Year, right. Don't disturb me when it comes to my children. You are never going to win. If John wants to see them, I cannot stop him. He's their father????—I want them to see him! However, his visit in his present condition will disturb the children's stable (穩定的) life．”

    John, who has spent much of his time in California recently, has only hired a house for himself in Pennsylvania, according to his lawyer. "If he'd like to stick to a regular life, I'd be more than happy to do that，" Jane says. "The best thing for any child of a divorced (離婚的) parent is a stable life. I want nothing more than for him to set up a stable life for himself, so that he can be part of making our children's lives more stable. "

    While matters of money and care won't be settled for weeks, Jane hardly puts her life on hold. Last week the ABC network announced that Jane would return with her own show, Twist of Jane, in which she gives advice to other moms．Jane and her eight children will also return to ABC in a series  of  Jane Plus 8 specials showing them on various adventures．It’s a rest for Jane．who insists that she needs her new，busy life to provide for her family．“I have to lead such a life．and I’m thankful that I’ve built it to the top where now I can support my children．”she says．

  And  whether a bellicose(好斗的)dance judge or a bellicose former wife，Jane plans to keep  0n facing attacks on her．  “Some people try to knock me down—only to make me more fierce，more protective，more determined to do better，”she says．“Go ahead，take me on．This will just make me stronger．”

Answer 1

【小題1】A

【小題2】C

【小題3】B

【小題4】C

解析:

【語篇解讀】本文為記敘文體。主要記述Jane在和丈夫離婚后下決心面對一切困難，爭取孩子的撫養權，并在婚后錢財和孩子撫養等問題短期內難以解決的情況下努力生活的故事。

【小題1】細節理解題。依據文章第一段第五、六句： A law? Yeah, right. Don’t disturb me when it comes to my children. You are never going to win.可知。 

【小題2】根據上一段的“If John wants to see them…However, his visit in his present condition…”，可知以John現在的狀況不適合見孩子們，結合劃線詞所在句If he’d like to stick to a regular life，可以推斷出如果John生活穩定了Jane允許他見孩子們。

【小題3】句意推測題。依據第三段首句While matters of money and care won’t be settled for weeks, Jane hardly puts her life on hold. 此處while 引導讓步狀語從句，意為“盡管錢和撫養的問題幾周內難以解決，……”，劃線部分應分Jane幾乎不讓生活受到影響。因此正確答案為B。

【小題4】推理判斷題。Jane面對一切壓力，堅決要求孩子的撫養權；錢和孩子的撫養短期內不能解決的情況下，努力克服困難維持生活都表現了她的堅強決心。
