Question

【題目】 Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother's Camp. There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? 【1】

At Mother's Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, "Mom, what's for dinner?" No husband will say, "Oh, dear, I can't find any clean socks" 【2】 Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job- taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.

【3】 Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can't find the pants. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.

Some women go to Mother's Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don't cook; they don't clean; they don't lo after their children or husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home. 【4】

A.Some women do not like their husbands and children.

B.They have a really wonderful vacation at Mother's Camp.

C.Some women say they need time to be alone.

D.In fact almost 50% of women in the United Sates work outside the home.

E.In the United Sates, working wives do about 75% of the housework.

【解析】

本文主要講述了現(xiàn)在一些婦女在媽媽的營地度過了一個非常棒的假期。在那里，丈夫和孩子是不允許的。為什么一個女人想去度假而沒有她的家人呢？一些女性說她們需要獨處的時間。

【1】句意：有些女人說她們需要獨處的時間。

根據(jù)“There, husbands and children are not allowed.”可知在那里，丈夫和孩子是不允許的，可推測出此處是“有些女人說她們需要獨處的時間”，故選C。

【2】句意：事實上，在美國幾乎有50%的婦女在外工作。

根據(jù)“Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job- taking care of their homes and families”可知她們中的許多人全職工作，然后回家做第二份工作，照顧她們的家庭和家人，可推測出此處是“事實上，在美國幾乎有50%的婦女在外工作”，故選D。

【3】句意：在美國，有工作的妻子做大約75%的家務。

根據(jù)“Many of their husbands say they want to help…it is easier to do the job themselves.”可知雖然老公想幫忙，但是還是會有很多問題，以至于他們的妻子認為自己做這項工作更容易，可推測出此處是“在美國，有工作的妻子做大約75%的家務”，故選E。

【4】句意：她們在媽媽的營地度過了一個非常棒的假期。

根據(jù)“They enjoy warm, sunny weather…They relax away from home”可知她們享受溫暖，陽光明媚的天氣，她們在遠離家鄉(xiāng)的地方放松，可推測出此處是“她們在媽媽的營地度過了一個非常棒的假期”，故選B。

題目選句子補充短文，做題時，要先通讀短文，理解文章大意；其次，熟悉各備選項，結合設空處上下文的語境來作答；再次，不確定的空可先漏過，把確定答案的做完，剩下的題目自然就容易解決；最后，打答案代入文中一一驗證是否能保證文章的連貫性。如第5題根據(jù)上文她們享受溫暖，陽光明媚的天氣，她們在遠離家鄉(xiāng)的地方放松，可知下文要說到她們在媽媽的營地度過了一個非常棒的假期。
