Question

【题目】 Meeting at a church on a Friday night is not usual for most college students,but it is usual for the women members of the Alcoholics Anonymous(AA)in my hometown, which is an organization for alcoholics who want to stop drinking alcohol.AA is founded upon a number of principles,including twelve steps and twelve traditions,but the only requirement for becoming a member is a strong wish to stop drinking.

The AA meeting I attended was in a speaker week,which meant that most of the time was spent listening to a member talking about her journey with alcohol.The speaker told other members her true story of alcohol problems.The group processed the story in a positive way.I noticed several times when members laughed,smiled,and made brief supporting comments while she spoke.Later,a member named Lucy shared with me her view that"this is the kind of place where you can talk about things,and everyone just laughs...no judgment but support."Being able to talk about her feelings and experiences,receiving support,and the lack of judgment were a large part of her decision to keep coming to the meetings.

Years later,I looked back on the meeting I attended with positive memories.The members at the meeting were mothers,sisters,grandmothers,aunts,daughters,and friends.Some were professionals, some were students,and some were unemployed. Despite their differences,they united in their common goal for a better life.AA is a prime example of how a group of people follow a program and work together at changing their habits.The meeting changed the way I looked at addiction-it was no longer a monster. Now I think it's essential to have support when you're struggling with addiction,just as with any lifestyle change.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】B

【解析】

本文为一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者几年前参加戒酒协会的经历。几年之后作者意识到这些戒酒的人为了更好的生活和共同目标而团结在一起，获得彼此的支持。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一段AA is founded upon a number of principles,including twelve steps and twelve traditions,but the only requirement for becoming a member is a strong wish to stop drinking. AA建立在一系列原则的基础上，包括十二个步骤和十二个传统，但成为会员的唯一要求是强烈的戒酒愿望。可知，Alcoholics Anonymous的目的是帮助有强烈戒酒愿望的人戒酒。故选C项。

【2】推理判断题。根据第二段Being able to talk about her feelings and experiences, receiving support, and the lack of judgment were a large part of her decision to keep coming to the meetings. 能够谈论她的感受和经历，得到支持，并且这里没有别人对自己的看法，是她决定继续参加会议的主要原因。因此判断出，如果对露西的故事有不友好的看法可能伤害她的感情。故选A项。

【3】主旨大意题。结合全文且根据最后一段“Years later,I looked back on the meeting I attended with positive memories.”多年以后，我回想起我参加的那次会议，心里充满了美好的回忆。所以文章记叙了作者参加戒酒协会的经历，在那里可以畅所欲言，获得别人的支持。B项“My experience of an AA meeting.”我的AA协会经历。符合文章主旨。故选B项。
