[A]【定位】第2段第3句。 【解析】根据原文该句母亲所问的问题可以推断母亲接到电话的时候,第一个反应是“担心”,因此本题应选选项A。本题最具有干扰性的是选项C,suspicious和第2段最后一句中的suspect属于同一个词族,但要注意的是,在文中suspect是“猜想”的意思,而不是“怀疑”的意思,而suspicious只有“怀疑的、可疑的”意思,这样来看就知道选项C不符合原文的内容了。 2. [C]【定位】第4段最后两句。 【解析】可以说,母亲的朋友也应该是老年人,他们应该也像母亲一样很少能和儿女聚会,由此可推断,他们认为作者通过邀请母亲吃饭而表达对母亲的爱,作者这样做让他们很感动,因此本题应选选项C。作者和母亲的晚餐聚会发生在原文提到impressed这个动作之后,而原文没有提及在聚会之后朋友们的感觉,因此选项A是不正确的;选项D是几乎每个父母都有的感觉,朋友们不可能因此而感动。 3. [D]【定位】第5段第2句。 【解析】从原文前5段的内容可以推断母亲觉得自己像第一夫人是因为她那天很高兴,能和儿子一起吃饭让她觉得很得意,而且也以儿子为荣,因此,本题选择选项D最合适。我们可以用另一个方法快速锁定正确答案。原文该句中的as if 表示一种感觉,在四个选项中,只有选项D中的felt表示感觉,其他三个选项的动词都用于描述现实,在这种情况下,即使选项C中的important在现实中也可用来形容当第一夫人的感觉,也可以马上排除了。 4. [B]【定位】第8段第1句。 【解析】原文该句中的recent events表明母亲在吃饭时谈起的是最近发生的事,在4个选项中选项B提到的时间是最近的,因此选项B为本题答案。选项C的memory与第6段末句中的nostalgic意思相关,但原文该句只表明母亲想起了过去,但不一定在吃饭时就“主要”谈起过去,因此选项C是不正确的。 5. [B]【定位】第9段和最后两段。 【解析】从第9段的I'll go out with you again可以知道母亲在提出请儿子吃饭时,她还是想着自己一定会去的,根据倒数第2段最后两句和最后一段的哲理可以推断母亲当时提出邀请是因为她也要让儿子知道她很爱他。由此可见,本题应选选项B。倒数第2段第5句表明母
