.A.easytobeoppressedanddefeatedB.hardtogetalongwithC.withapositiveattitudetowardslifeD.withviolentconfrontation【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了作者母親對于作者的人生態(tài)度的影響。（1）考查推理判斷。根據第一段中的“Iknowyouhatetoadmitit,butIgetmuchofmydeterminedandstrong-willednaturefromyou.”我知道你不愿意承認這一點，但我從你身上學到了很多我的堅強意志；以及倒數第二段中的“WhenI'maskedwhyIamthewayIam,whyIrefusetoallowotherstohurtmewiththeirwordsoractionsandwhyIthinkandspeakaboutthingsopenlyandwithoutfear.I'lltellthemit'sbecauseofyou.”當我被問及為什么我是現在的我，為什么我拒絕讓別人用他們的言語或行動傷害我，為什么我公開地、毫無畏懼地思考和談論事情。我會告訴他們是因為你?？赏浦谶@封信中，Malahni主要表達了她對母親的愛。故選B。（2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第五段中的“It'sthecharactertraitsthatsealthedeal.Drywit,intelligence,andyes,maybealittlebitofattitude-thesearethethingsIamgratefulIhavereceivedfromyou.There'snothingwrongwithhavingattitude.”是性格特征讓他們達成了共識。機智、智慧，是的，也許還有一點態(tài)度——這些是我從你那里得到的東西，我很感激。態(tài)度并沒有錯?？芍藗冋J出Malahni是Melissa的女兒主要是因為她的性格特點。故選C。（3）考查詞義猜測。根據第四段中的“parentsfeelmuchhurtwhentheirchildtalksbackor”可知父母在他們的孩子頂嘴或反抗他們時感到很受傷，故劃線單詞意思為“反抗；拒絕服從”故選A。（4）考查推理判斷。根據第二段中的“ButyoushouldalsomarvelatthefactthatI'vemadeitthisfar,thatI'mhealthyandhappy.”但你也應該驚訝于我已經走了這么遠，我很健康，很快樂。以及下文Malahni說明自己如何用自己的態(tài)度來使自己免于精神上的壓迫和失敗，可推知Malahni是一個對生活有積極態(tài)度的女人。故選C?！军c評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。2．閱讀理解
