Droughts (干旱)are common in Kenya . Before ,they came every 10 years ,but now they seem to be hitting us more often and for a longer time .

We gave the droughts names :“longoza”was the drought when many animals died ; there was the drought of the “planes” because food was dropped from the air by planes; and one particularly bad drought was called “ man who dies with his money in his fist (拳头)”，because ,even if there was money , there was simply no food to buy .

I was born in 1951 in Machakos. From what my mother tells me , when I was 7, there was a serious drought . I clearly remember the terrible weather and the hunger. I can’t tell you how many times I went to bed without eating . “ I slept like that ,” is how we described it . I can’t count the number of days when “ I slept like that,” or describe the feeling of going to sleep hungry ,knowing I’d wake up and there would still be no food for breakfast.

My father would leave early in the morning carrying a little basket to ask for food on credit (赊欠). Each night he would return home around 10:00p.m. My mother would try to encourage me by telling me to keep the water in our pot boiling so that when my father arrived we could quickly cook any food he brought in the already prepared water . I would keep the fire burning and the water boiling , along with the hopes that we would eat that night. But my father would arrive frustrated and empty -handed. And I would sleep like that.

【小题1】The best title for the text is ________.

A. A Hungry Childhood Caused by Droughts

B. Food and Hunger

C. Protecting the Environment

D. Droughts and Their Names

【小题2】What does the drought of the “ longoza”refer to (指代)?

C. Many animals died because of the droughts.

D. People died of hunger even if they had money.

【小题3】Why would the author keep the fire burning and t he water boiling?

A. To wait for her father to come back to have supper.

B. To cook the food that her father would bring back.

C. To keep her house warm all night.

D. To make her hungry mother happy.

【小题4】The sentence “I slept like that ” means “ ________.”

While we are still children ,most of us live at home with our parents, more or less peacefully . But as we become teenagers , things change ,and we begin to grow apart from our parents . This means we are almost ready to leave the house where we grew u p and make a new home of our own .

All humans must do this ,but they don’t all do it in the same way . If ,for instance ,you belong to a primitive tribe (原始部落) ，then as you grew up ,you’d learn the skills you needed as an adult---how to catch fish ,how to keep the house and look after children . You would be ready to marry in your early teens and you would build a house and live near your family in the village.

This seems a very old way of life , but it is what humans have been used to through hundreds of years. And it is what we are still used to in the 21st century ,for man hasn’t changed in the short time since he became civilized(文明的). But could you leave home and lo ok after yourself during the teen years ? Most people would not do very well . Why ? Because although man hasn’t changed very much , the society he lives in has changed greatly ,which means that we have to learn more and m ore before we are ready to leave our parents’ shelter( 居所 ) and live alone .

However ,sometimes it is very frustrating to live at parents’ home . Parents can be very upset about late nights ,criticizing friends and always saying that we are noisy and dirty . But we still need our emotional (情感的 ) shelter till we finish our studies , and that is why we usually stay in our parents’ home until we feel grown up enough to deal with living alone .

【小题1】When does the relationship with parents start changing ?

A. When we are children. B. When we become teenagers.

C. When we are alone. D. When we get married.

【小题2】For most teenagers of the 21st century ,making a new home of their own may be ________.

A. difficult B. unimportant C. impossible D. quite easy

【小题3】Why must we know more to be able to live alone ?

A. Because we are becoming less talented.

B. Because our society has changed a lot.

C. Because not enough is taught in our schools.

D. Because man has never really been civilized.

【小题4】From the passage ,we know living at parents’ home when we become teenagers _______.

A. is always pleasant B. must be very exciting

C. makes us feel lonely D. may be annoying

【答案】

【小题3】细节理解题。根据第三段Because although man hasn’t changed very much , the society he lives in has changed greatly ,which means that we have to learn more and more before we are ready to leave our parents’ shelter( 居所 ) and live alone . 描述，可知是因为人虽然没有变，但是我们的社会已经改变了。故选B。

【小题4】细节理解题。根据短文最后一段描述，可知当我们长大后还住在父母的家里面会很令人烦恼。故选D。
