第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A篇 启迪故事。
41.答案为 C.与其说是判断推理题不如说是细节题。从第一段的 our home 的 our （是指小女孩的和作者的），就可以判断最有可能是 mother了。（中国人和 native English speakers 在使用人称代词 my 和 our 有不同。中国人在比较多的场合愿意用 our 实际是说的my.
另外从作者对小女孩关注的时间 I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. 和对小女孩球队获胜消息的频度Every week, she led her school team to victory.以及对小女孩的情感上 She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. 也不难做出判断。

49.答案为 D.分析判断题。 第五段中 but 转折。So 表示结果。加上引用 Kobliner 的话""So you have people who have grown up in an environment where people had great expectations of what living well means," says Kobliner. 还是环境使然。因此不难判断作者对于 20-somethings 的态度是理解的态度
