Question

【题目】 Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother's Camp. There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? 【1】

At Mother's Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, "Mom, what's for dinner?" No husband will say, "Oh, dear, I can't find any clean socks" 【2】 Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job- taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.

【3】 Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can't find the pants. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves.

Some women go to Mother's Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don't cook; they don't clean; they don't lo after their children or husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home. 【4】

A.Some women do not like their husbands and children.

B.They have a really wonderful vacation at Mother's Camp.

C.Some women say they need time to be alone.

D.In fact almost 50% of women in the United Sates work outside the home.

E.In the United Sates, working wives do about 75% of the housework.

本文主要讲述了现在一些妇女在妈妈的营地度过了一个非常棒的假期。在那里，丈夫和孩子是不允许的。为什么一个女人想去度假而没有她的家人呢？一些女性说她们需要独处的时间。

【1】句意：有些女人说她们需要独处的时间。

根据“There, husbands and children are not allowed.”可知在那里，丈夫和孩子是不允许的，可推测出此处是“有些女人说她们需要独处的时间”，故选C。

【2】句意：事实上，在美国几乎有50%的妇女在外工作。

根据“Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job- taking care of their homes and families”可知她们中的许多人全职工作，然后回家做第二份工作，照顾她们的家庭和家人，可推测出此处是“事实上，在美国几乎有50%的妇女在外工作”，故选D。

根据“Many of their husbands say they want to help…it is easier to do the job themselves.”可知虽然老公想帮忙，但是还是会有很多问题，以至于他们的妻子认为自己做这项工作更容易，可推测出此处是“在美国，有工作的妻子做大约75%的家务”，故选E。

【4】句意：她们在妈妈的营地度过了一个非常棒的假期。

根据“They enjoy warm, sunny weather…They relax away from home”可知她们享受温暖，阳光明媚的天气，她们在远离家乡的地方放松，可推测出此处是“她们在妈妈的营地度过了一个非常棒的假期”，故选B。
