Answer 1

分析 本文是一位从小就被母亲送走的母亲写给女儿的一封情真意切的信，信里充满了对女儿的爱以及对自己之前的生活的回想，对自己的母亲的怀念之情．

解答 65．D  细节题．根据第一段中"You are more than just a second child，more than just a girl to match our boy．You，little daughter，are the link to our female line"可知这一天她的女儿出生了．更重要的是家族里的女性传承得以延续．故选D．
66．B  推理题．根据第二段最后3行Worn down by the demands of the new baby and perhaps the constant threat of starvation，she made the painful decision to give away her girl so that both of us might have a chance for a better life．可知她的母亲把她送走也是万般无奈，要不然两个人没有好的生活．所以她对母亲的选择是可以接受和理解的，但是同时被母亲送走的确是一件很痛苦的事情．故选B．
67．D  推理题．根据段"In a family of blue-eyed blonds，though，I stood out like a sore thumb"．家里都是蓝眼睛的白种人，而我是一个黄皮肤黑头发的中国人．Though后面这句话说明我和他们是不一样的．故选D．
68．A  推理题．根据第四段中的"Whether from jealousy or fear of someone who looked so different，my older brothers sometimes teased me about my unpleasing skin，or made fun of my clumsy walk．"可知在这个家庭里不知道是处于嫉妒还是恐惧我的哥哥们有时会嘲笑我．再根据"My mother and I conflicted countless times over the years，but gradually came to see one another as real human beings with faults and talents，and as women of strength in our own right"可知我和妈妈经常发生冲突．这些事情让我感觉自己的生活没有安全感，总是很惶恐，缺乏安全感．进而产生了身份危机．故选A．
69．C  推理题．根据文章倒数第二段That，plus a little knowledge of classroom Cantonese，is all the Chinese culture I have to offer you．Not white，certainly，but not really Asian，I try to pave the way between the two worlds and bridge the gap for you．Your name，"Shao-ming，"is very much like mine-"Shao"means"little．"And"ming"is"bright"可知母亲想给女儿添加一些中国文化的元素，所以女儿的名字为Shao ming，让女儿知道自己的祖先有中国血统．故选C．
70．B  推理题．根据下一句"and each day I cradle you in your babyhood，generously giving you the loving care I lacked for my first two years．"得知母亲一直在照顾着女儿，这和母亲自己的经历是不同的．母亲很小就被送走了，没有享受到母爱．所以该句是指B项含义．故选B．
