2019届高考英语二轮复习全国卷Ⅱ题型专题突破：专题1 第5讲专题强化训练(含解析)

A

(2019·西宁检测一)There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees；another gets the shade”，and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters.The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing.If close，the relationship can be similar to friendship.However，the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship.These characteristics include the hierarchy(等级) and unconditional love，which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.

Marina,27 years old，says，“I love spending time with my mom，but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend.Best friends don’t pay for your wedding.Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life！Best friends don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.”This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.

While some adult relationships are still troubled，many find them to be extremely rewarding.This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship.Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers，responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions.Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology，which may bring them even closer together.

Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends，but for better or worse，the mother and daughter relationship is permanent，even if they aren’t speaking for some unfortunate reasons.The mother and child relationship is still closer than any other.There is not an equal relationship.Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being.It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers.It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well-being.

The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other.Mothers never stop being mothers，which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness.Mother always “trumps” friends.

【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者认为，母女之间虽然有许多共同之处，她们的关系也可以很亲密，但不会成为最好的朋友，因为母女关系不同于朋友关系，它独具特点。友谊可以不再，但母女关系，无论好坏，都会永存下去。

1．The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．

A．differ B．prevent

C．benefit D．change

解析：选B。词义猜测题。根据第一段最后两句“However，the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship.These characteristics include the hierarchy(等级)and unconditional love，which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.”可知，母女关系的特性中包含的辈分差别所带来的不同程度的责任、义务以及无条件的爱使得她们不会成为最好的朋友。后一句是对前一句的解释，说明为何母女关系不同于朋友关系。由此可知，画线词“preclude”意为“妨碍”。故选B项，意为“妨碍，阻止”。A项意为“不同于……”；C项意为“受益，有益于”；D项意为“改变，变化”，都不符合句意。

2．What do we know from the passage?

A．The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.

C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.

D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.
