Ⅰ.阅读理解(共12小题;每小题2.5分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
My husband David was waiting at the door when our daughter Laura and I pulled in the driveway.It wasn’t like him to be home so early.The disbelief on his face told me that something
was up.
“Do you still have a job?”
“No.Redundant,” he answered,looking away from me. “OK.We’ll figure it out,” I replied calmly.
I actually had no idea how we were going to figure it out.I immediately started to think of how we’d cut costs and who we should start to get in touch with.That night,after David had fallen asleep,I cried myself to sleep,and frequently sobbed in the shower in the days that followed.
I knew the loss of David’s income would have a great effect on us.He had worked for the same insurance company for twenty-one years and was our main income.I work at home caring for Laura,and my freelance(自由职业者的)income is uncertain.We have debts,and job hunting takes time.
Still,I was more concerned about my husband’s emotional state than our financial
situation.David’s sense of identity was tied to his job.He called his parents to tell them about losing his job,but didn’t say a word to anyone else for weeks.He told me that he felt like “a failure”.
It was tough for me to watch David struggle with unemployment.One night a couple of
weeks after he lost his job,David woke me just before midnight,sweating,pacing the bedroom floor and saying he felt funny.We spent the night in the emergency room waiting to see if he had a heart attack.Thankfully,it was just a serious anxiety attack.It was then that I knew I needed to do more to understand what my husband was going through.Here is what I learned from my own
experience—and from talking to experts—on how to support your spouse(配偶)through a job loss. 1.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “Redundant” in Para.3? A.A piece of cake. B.Out of question. C.My treat. D.Out of employment. 提示词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“The disbelief on his face”和丈夫的回答No可知,大卫失业了。故答案为D项。 答案D 2.What did the writer do about her husband’s situation at first? A.She always remained calm and gave him advice. B.She appeared calm while in fact she was worried.
C.She began to write about her husband’s situation to the newspaper.
D.She went to consult some doctors. 提示推理判断题。根据第四、五段内容可知,作者当时冷静地回答丈夫的话,但那天晚上却哭着睡着了,在接下来的几天里,作者又经常在淋浴室里哭,由此推断选择B项。 答案B 3.What can we know about David?

D.Upon leaving the job,he suffered a heart attack and had to consult the doctor. 提示推理判断题。从第六段可知,大卫在一家保险公司工作了21年,是家庭的主要经济支柱,因此选A项:他被这家他为之工作了21年的公司解雇了。 答案A 4.What will be talked about in the next part of the passage? A.What the writer did to help get some income.
B.How David suffered from the heart attack and the treatment.
C.How the writer supported David to get through the jobless period. D.Why the insurance company fired David. 提示推理判断题。根据文章最后一句的内容“这里是我从我自己的经历以及与专家的交谈中学习到的关于如何帮助自己的伴侣度过失业期的东西”可知,作者将与大家分享她是如何帮助伴侣度过失业期的。由此判断选择C项。 答案C B
