Question

    Big as the World is, Home is Where We Go Back (《世界再大，也要回家》) is a group of hand-drawn comics by a college student. It shows us parents’ deep love when their daughter is at home and away.

When you were away from home, your parents would eat simple and vegetarian, three meals a day…and every day when you were at home, they would prepare a whole table of food for you.

When you were away from home, your parents would mention you to others from time to time…and when you were at home, they would complain about you a lot.

When you were away from home, you were the competent and independent self…while you were at home, you would be a little girl who always needed to be taken care of.

But one day, you happen to find it hard for your parents to do things they used to be able to. Their memory and their hearing are getting worse and worse. You are going faster and faster without knowing that they are walking slower and slower-they are growing old. When you finally understand it is time to repay your parents, could there be enough time left? So, go home before it is too late! Show your love by spending more time with your parents.

【解析】

本文向我们介绍了一位大学生画的一组连环画《世界再大，也要回家》，表明了当他们的女儿在家或不在家时父母的深爱。

1.细节理解题。根据第二组图画中“when you were at home, they would complain about you a lot.”可知，当他们的女儿在家时，他们会抱怨很多。故选C。

2.词句猜测题。根据第四段中“while you were at home, you would be a little girl who always needed to be taken care of.”可知，当你在家时，你会是一个需要被照顾的小女孩，当你不在家时，你会是独立的、能干的。所以此处competent指“能干的”，故选A。

3.推理判断题。A项：吃简单和素食对我们的健康有好处；B项：漫画里的女儿不听她父亲的话；C项：没有足够的时间来报答父母，所以不要晚回家；D项：和父母在一起是对父母最长的爱的告白。根据文章最后一句“Show your love by spending more time with your parents.”可知，多陪陪父母是在表达你的爱。结合选项，故选D。
