My mother was born in a small town in northern Italy.[16]She was three when her parents immigrated to America in 1926. They lived in Chicago when my grandfather worked making ice-cream. Mama thrived in the urban environment. At 16, she graduated first in her high school class, went onto secretarial school, and finally worked as an executive secretary for a railroad company. She was beautiful too. When a local photographer used her pictures in his monthly window display, she felt pleased. Her favorite portrait showed her sitting by Lake Michigan, her hair went blown, her gaze reaching toward the horizon. My parents were married in 1944. Dad was a quiet and intelligent man. He was 17 when he left Italy.[17]Soon after, a hit-and-run accident left him with a permanent limp. Dad worked hard selling candy to Chicago office workers on their break. He had little formal schooling. His English was self-taught. Yet he eventually built a small successful wholesale candy business. Dad was generous and handsome. Mama was devoted to him.[18]After she married, my mother quit her job and gave herself to her family. In 1950, with three small children, Dad moved the family to a farm 40 miles from Chicago. He worked the land and commuted to the city to run his business. Mama said goodbye to her parents and friends, and traded her busy city neighborhood for a more isolated life. But she never complained.
16. What does the speaker tell us about his mother’s early childhood?
17. What do we learn about the speaker’s father?
18. What does the speaker say about his mother?
选项
A、Her parents thrived in the urban environment.
B、Her parents left Chicago to work on a farm.
C、Her parents immigrated to America.
D、Her parents set up an ice-cream store.
答案
C
解析
本题考查叙述者的母亲的童年经历,四个选项中的her parents指的就是“叙述者的母亲的父母”。文章在开头处提到,“她随父母在1926年移民美国时只有三岁”。由此可知’-3叙述者的母亲还很小的时候她的父母就带她移民到了美国,C项中的immigrated to America与原文中的表述一致,故为正确答案。其他三项与文中表述均有出入。
