B
I took a deep breath and walked through the front door, my arms full of groceries. A challenge lay ahead of me, someone who could hardly boil water: cooking the Easter Sunday dinner. What if I made everyone sick? It could truly be our family's last super meal.
Making the holiday meal was my brother's job, not mine. I could never fill his shoes. Peter had died in September at the age of 45 from a heart attack, but he'd been a natural in the kitchen all his life. He planned every course in detail, from the crescent rolls to the Dutch apple pie.
My family was lost without him, and we went out to dinner for Thanksgiving and ordered pizza for Christmas. By the time Easter rolled around, though, I couldn't bear the idea of another holiday surrounded by takeout (外卖食品) boxes. Peter would have hated that. To him, there was nothing more important than a meal made with love. So I convinced Mom that we should cook Easter dinner together. But we were terrible cooks.
I had been thinking what to cook for Easter dinner. I'd_bitten_off_more_than_I_could_chew. No one could do this half as well as Peter.
I stepped into the family room. Mom was still at church, but her newspaper was opened on the coffee table, to the sports section, as usual. She was a huge Notre Dame women's basketball fan, and the featured story was about the forward Devereaux Peters. I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags, Filling Peters' Shoes.
That afternoon, cooking in the kitchen, I didn't feel so alone. Mom and I pulled together and the Easter feast was not that bad.The ham may have been a little dry, but it was all made with love— just like Peter would have wanted.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者接替哥哥为家人做节日盛宴的经过,虽然作者做得没有哥哥好,但她也是和妈妈一起用爱心为家人做饭。
4.What would Peter have preferred to do if holidays had come?
A.To go out to have dinner.
B.To order pizza.
C.To show off his cooking skills.
D.To cook a big dinner for his family.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“Making the holiday meal was my brother's job, not mine.(准备节日大餐是我哥哥的工作,不是我的。)”可知,如果节日来临,作者的哥哥Peter就会为家人准备节日大餐。故选D项。
5.The text tells us that ________.
A.the Easter dinner was the family's last dinner
B.Mom persuaded the author to cook the Easter dinner
C.Peter enjoyed cooking a dinner with love
D.their Easter dinner this year was a complete failure
解析:C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Peter would have hated that. To him, there was nothing more important than a meal made with love.(Peter会不喜欢那样(外卖)。对他来说,没有什么比用爱做的一顿饭更重要了。)”可知,作者哥哥Peter喜欢用爱心做饭。故选C项。
6.By saying “I'd bitten off more than I could chew.” in Paragraph 4, the author means ________.
A.she wasn't confident in cooking the Easter dinner
B.she was not able to eat a lot of food
C.the Easter dinner made her sick
D.she couldn't cook the dinner alone
解析:A 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段可知作者要为全家做复活节盛宴,但在这之前作者只会烧开水,并且害怕家人吃了她做的饭会生病,结合画线句后一句“No one could do this half as well as Peter.(这件事没有人有Peter做得一半好。)”可知作者觉得自己不如Peter做得好,因此画线句子应表示作者对做复活节盛宴没有信心,故选A项。
7.What might be the best title for the text ?
A.Cooking in the Kitchen
B.Filling Peter's Shoes
C.Happy Easter Day
D.Terrible Cooks
解析:B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要叙述了作者接替哥哥Peter用爱心为家人做节日盛宴的事情。短语fill one's shoes意为“妥善代职”,此短语出现在文章第二段“I could never fill his shoes.(我永远也接替不了他的位置。)”以及倒数第二段“I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags, Filling Peters' Shoes.(我读了标题Filling Peters' Shoes,差点儿把购物袋掉在地上。)”可知B项标题符合文章想要表达的中心思想。故选B项。
