When I was a freshman, on Christmas brea...

When I was a freshman, on Christmas break I went home and looked through the bags of clothes Mom intended to give away. I took a baggy red shirt, for I needed something to wear in art class. Mom was surprised. She wore that when she was pregnant with my younger brother.

The red shirt became a part of my college wardrobe. After graduation, I wore the shirt the day I moved into my new apartment and on Saturday morning when I cleaned. When I became pregnant, I wore the red shirt during big-belly days. I missed Mom and the rest of my family. But that shirt helped. I smiled, remembering that Mother had worn it when she was pregnant, 15 years earlier. That Christmas, thinking of the warm feelings the shirt had given me, I wrapped it in holiday paper and sent it to Mom. When Mom wrote to thank me for her “real” gift, she said the red shirt was lovely. She never mentioned it again. The next year, when my husband and I moved the kitchen table, I noticed something red taped to its bottom. It was the shirt! And so the pattern was set.

On our next visit home, I secretly placed the shirt under Mom and Dad’s mattress. Two years passed before I discovered it under the base of our living-room floor lamp. The red shirt was just what I needed now while refinishing furniture. The walnut stains added character.

Years later, my husband and I divorced. With my three children, I prepared to move back to Illinois, depressed. Suddenly I saw the stained red shirt. I smiled. After unpacking in our new home I visited her, and I hid it in her bottom dresser drawer. Meanwhile, I found a good job at a radio station. A year later I discovered the red shirt hidden in a rag bag in my cleaning closet. The shirt was Mother’s final gift. Mother died three months later.

I was tempted to send the red shirt, faded but in decent shape, with her to her grave. But I’m glad I didn’t, my older daughter is in college now, majoring in art. And every art student needs a baggy red shirt to wear to art class.

1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 【解析】文章围绕一件本来准备捐了的红衬衫,描述母女之间互赠红衬衫作为礼物,以及母亲及红衬衫带给自己的力量。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段内容on Christmas break I went home and looked through the bags of clothes Mom intended to give away. I took a baggy red shirt可知,我是在妈妈准备捐赠的衣服袋中找到的红衬衫,故B(不需要的衣服袋子中)正确。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段句子I missed Mom and the rest of my family. But that shirt helped.(我想念妈妈和其他家人。但是这件红衬衫帮助了我。)可知,这件红衬衫缓解了作者想家的情感,故选A。 3.推理判断题。根据本段描述,母女之间秘密给予红衬衫成为了一种固定的模式,故这里“模式”的含义是C(悄悄的给予以及接受红衬衫)。 4.推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者珍视红衬衫是因为它代表了母亲的爱,故选D。 【名师点睛】 关于细节理解题 用细节定位法:细节理解题属直接解答性问题,是阅读理解题中最简单的一种,多数属中低难度的送分题。但由于高考所占的比例很大,应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是:把某词语、某个句子或某具体事实用不同于原文的另一方式或句型表达,即同义改写。 比如文章第2题,How did the shirt help the author?这件衬衫是怎么帮助作者的?就需要快速定位在文章的第二段的句子I missed Mom and the rest of my family. But that shirt helped.(我想念妈妈和其他家人。但是这件红衬衫帮助了我。)可看出,A选项“The shirt relieved homesickness from the author(这件衬衫缓解了作者想家的情感。)是对文章此处内容的改写,故选A。
