Zou Pinzhi is a mother.She works in a construction company (建筑公司). Every day, she carries heavy steel materials(钢材). She works long hours to pay for her daughter’s education.

Her daughter studies hard at school. She always gets good grades in her exams. Last month, she got excellent grades in the college entrance exam. When the mother learned of her high grades, she felt so proud and happy.

1.1.What is the mother’s daily work?

A Reading many books.

B Carrying steel materials.

C Cooking good food.

D

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。文章第一段直接提到 “Every day, she carries heavy steel materials.”，明确说明母亲每天的日常工作就是搬运钢材，因此B项正确。A项“读很多书”与文中母亲所说 “I never learned to read or write” 完全矛盾；C项“做好吃的食物”在文中完全没有出现，属于无中生有。故选B。

2.2.The underlined word “she” in Paragraph 2 refers to (指的是) ______.

A the mother

B the daughter

C a worker

D

解析：选B。B 词意指代题。画线词“she”出现在第二段中，“Last month, she got excellent grades in the college entrance exam.”，该句紧跟 “Her daughter studies hard at school. She always gets good grades in her exams.”，根据英语代词指代就近原则，“she”指的就是前面的 “Her daughter”，即女儿。因此B项正确。A项“母亲”不会在此处被描述为在高考中取得好成绩；C项“一名工人”前后文都没有出现过，无法成为指代对象。故选B。

3.3.Why does the mother work hard every day?

A To buy a new car.

B For her daughter.

C To live in a big house.

D

解析：选B。B 细节理解题。文章第一段最后一句说 “She works long hours to pay for her daughter’s education.”，同时结尾母亲自己也说 “I work so hard only because I hope my daughter can live a much better life than me.”，这两处细节都直接表明母亲辛苦工作是为了女儿，因此B项正确。A项“买新车”和C项“住大房子”在文中均未出现，无法支撑。故选B。

4.4.This story is about ______.

A a big exam

B a happy girl

C a mum’s love

D

解析：选C。C 主旨大意题。全文围绕母亲为了女儿能接受更好的教育、过上更好的生活，不辞辛苦地搬运钢材展开，突出的是母亲对女儿的爱与付出。虽然文中也提到女儿成绩好、母亲很高兴，但这些都是为了体现母爱的伟大，所以C项“妈妈的爱”最能概括全文主旨。A项“一次重要考试”文中没有作为主题来写；B项“一个快乐的女孩”只是文中部分内容，并非文章的中心思想。故选C。
