A
When it comes to recycling the household waste, people have done it for about two decades. However, there’s still some confusion about what can and what can’t be recycled. With advances in technology, there are more things that can be recycled.
COFFEE PODS(咖啡包)
On average, Australians are using more than three million coffee pods per day, and about 1.5 million households have coffee machines. While the pods are disastrous for the environment, they can still be recycled. Nespresso has a free post-back program and drop-off points run by TerraCycle, so you can take the pods and directly drop off at Nespresso stores.
LIGHT BULBS
Rather than throwing light bulbs into the bin, some councils run specific recycling stations, which allow you to drop off these kinds of items. If you do regularly recycle household glass, remember all glass should be washed and have lids removed.
PIZZA BOXES
Normally pizza boxes don’t make it into recycling because they’re covered in grease(油脂)and leftover bits of cheese. When a pizza box is too greasy, it won’t be made into a recycling processing plant. If possible, remove as much of the leftovers as you can before recycling. If the pizza box can’t be recycled, tear off the lid which can still be recycled.
HOUSEHOLD BATTERIES
Household batteries can also be recycled. Batteries that do end up in landfills can cause a serious problem to the environment as they can release poisonous chemicals into the soil which are harmful to both humans and animals. Button-cell batteries, which are used in hearing aids and watches, can also be recycled.
31. Why does TerraCycle run the free post-back program and drop-off points
A. To produce the best coffee.
B. To recycle coffee pods effectively.
C. To encourage people to drink coffee.
D. To offer some families coffee machines.
32. What needs to be done when recycling household glass
A. Clean it with water.
B. Send it to the nearby store.
C. Pack it well with paper.
D. Keep the lid of the glass closed.
33. What should people do first to recycle pizza boxes
A. Put them in recycling stations.
B. Fold them carefully and neatly.
C. Tear the whole boxes into pieces.
D. Clear the leftovers as much as possible.
34. What can we know about batteries from Paragraph 5
A. They can produce harmful materials.
B. They will take a long time to be recycled.
C. Battery recycling can bring economic benefits.
D. Different batteries have different recycling stations.
35. What is the theme of the passage
A. Creative ideas. B. Daily necessities.
C. Technical advances. D. Environmental protection.
【答案】31. B 32. A 33. D 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。随着科技的进步，有更多的东西可以回收利用。文章介绍了生活中对于家庭垃圾问题处理上，几个比较实用的一些回收知识。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“While the pods are disastrous for the environment, they can still be recycled.”（虽然这些豆荚对环境造成了灾难性的影响，但它们仍然可以被回收利用。）可知，为了更有效地回收利用这些咖啡豆荚，TerraCycle 运行免费的 post-back 程序和抛物点，这样你就可以直接把豆荚抛在Nespresso处理点。故选B。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“If you do regularly recycle household glass, remember all glass should be washed and have lids removed.”（如果你经常回收家用玻璃，记住所有的玻璃都应该清洗并且把盖子拿掉。）可知，回收利用家庭中的废玻璃时，你需要清洗并且把盖子拿掉。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When a pizza box is too greasy, it won’t be made into a recycling processing plant. If possible, remove as much of the leftovers as you can before recycling. ”（如果披萨盒太油腻，它就不会被制成回收加工厂。如果可能的话，在回收利用之前尽可能多地清除剩余的食物。）可知，对于披萨盒子的回收，用户需要首先尽可能多地清除剩余的食物。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Household batteries can also be recycled. Batteries that do end up in landfills can cause a serious problem to the environment as they can release poisonous chemicals into the soil which are harmful to both humans and animals. Button-cell batteries, which are used in hearing aids and watches, can also be recycled.”（家用电池也可以回收。最终进入垃圾填埋场的电池会对环境造成严重的问题，因为它们会向土壤中释放对人类和动物都有害的有毒化学物质。用于助听器和手表的纽扣电池也可以回收。）可知，进入垃圾填埋场的电池会对环境造成严重的问题，因为它们会向土壤中释放对人类和动物都有害的有毒化学物质。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，随着科技的进步，有更多的东西可以回收利用。本文主要介绍了科技进步对于生活中的一些东西的回收利用的方法，所以文章的主题是和环境保护有关。故选D。
B
Spring lifts our spirits. It’s a time for Nature to bring us back to life after a cold season. I live not far from the Kairaku Park, which is one of the largest gardens in Japan, and famous for its near 10,000 plum trees. I am fortunate to have them all outside my backyard, and take advantage of the walking paths daily.
I see the same trees and swans every day, but that day was different. At the edge of the small lake, I saw some new-born black swans. They were pretty and cute. They stayed with their mom. While taking a few photos of the sunset, I was interrupted by a high sound going on for some time. So I turned around and saw one little swan was stuck by two stones. Its mother was trying to make it out but failed. I tried to get near but the mother was ever so angry! She wouldn’t allow me to get close, so I turned to an old man sitting on the bench and said, “Excuse me, the swan baby can’t move and I want to help it, but the mother is extremely angry! Could you please do me a favor ”
After hearing my words, the man smiled at me first and then agreed to help me. He drove the mother away with great efforts, and for several times, he was almost hurt by the mother. Thanks to him, I was able to get there and push the little swan out of the gap finally. Oh, I really hoped it wasn’t injured, but at least it was alive and swimming!
In spring, I become more physically active. Things around don’t make us, but Nature does, and it keeps us going. I am positive that all of us have a little piece of nature in our own neighborhoods. Somewhere we will be reminded why natural life is so important because we grow with it! Personally, I am happy that baby birds can put a smile on my face! I struggle for having a small number of “things” in life, and being filled with simple reality — at one with Nature.
36. What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1
A. Her favorite season is spring.

Harvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable material inspired by insects' hard outer shells. The material's inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk”. It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.
A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic's toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and '60s. Decades later, however, plastic's very durability is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years
Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer, and so will enrich the soil.
Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.
Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They're also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. They're even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.
41. Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shritk's_____.
A. remarkable design B. interesting name
C. major features D. basic elements
42. What has become a concern about plastic
A. Using it properly. B. Producing it cheaply.
C. Developing its properties quickly. D. Evaluating its contributions fairly.
43. According to the inventors, shrilk has great potential partly because_____.
A. it can help plastic degrade B. it can be found in living things
C. its mass production has been realized D. its raw materials are abundant in mature
44. What are the inventors doing in the lab
A. Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk. B. Testing shrilk's use in wet conditions.
C. Making shrilk out of used household goods. D. Improving shrilk's flexibility for medical purposes.
45. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Recent Progress in Environmental Protection B. Benefits of Insects in Scientific Research
C. The Harm of One-time Products D. A Possible Alternative to Plastic
【答案】41. C 42. A 43. D 44. B 45. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。说明了哈佛大学的研究人员仿照昆虫外壳研制出了一种既坚硬又廉价的物质。这种物质由虾壳和蚕丝提取物制作而成，可降解，非常环保。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Harvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable material inspired by insects' hard outer shells. The material's inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk”. It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.(哈佛大学的研究人员受到昆虫坚硬外壳的启发，发明了一种坚硬、低成本、可生物降解的材料。这种材料的发明者说，它有很多可能的用途，有一天可能会提供一种更环保的塑料替代品。这种材料由虾壳和蚕丝中产生的蛋白质制成，被称为“虾丝”。它很薄，透明、灵活和强韧)”可知，第一段主要是关于虾丝的主要特点。故选C。
【42题详解】
细节理解题题。根据第二段中“Decades later, however, plastic's very durability is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries.(然而，几十年后，塑料的非常耐用性引发了人们的疑问：对于一次性产品，比如塑料袋，或者寿命较短的消费品，在家里使用几年，然后扔进垃圾填埋场，在那里它们会在几个世纪内降解)”可知，人们对塑料的担忧是适当使用它。故选A。
【43题详解】
细节理解题题。根据第四段中“Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants.(制作它的材料在自然界中很丰富，从虾壳、昆虫身体到活的植物都有)”可知，据发明者说，虾丝有很大的潜力，部分原因是它的原料在自然界很丰富。故选D。
【44题详解】
细节理解题题。根据最后一段中“The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environments.(发明者说，这种材料在潮湿的环境下变得灵活，所以他们正在探索在潮湿环境下使用它的方法)”可知，发明家们在实验室里测试虾丝在潮湿条件下的使用。故选B。
【45题详解】

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 a daughter is sometimes confusing. 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 a hierarchy(等级)of responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.
Marina, 27 years old, said, “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 living at least 20 years longer than you.”
This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughter shave 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 work 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 for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. Sometimes this is not an equal relationship. Daughters don’t always feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. But mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers always “trump” friends.
46. What does the underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Differ. B. Benefit. C. Prevent. D. Change.
47. What can we learn from what Marina said
A. Her mother is anything but her best friend.
B. Best friends will not remind her of important issues in life.
C. Her mother is wiser on account of her age.
D. Best friends will not spend money on her wedding.
48. Why can a mother and a daughter build a closer relationship according to Paragraph 3
A. Because they share advanced technology with each other.
B. Because they work together to support the whole family.
C. Because they experience the same values and traditions.
D. Because they have common experience in life and work.
49. What do we know from the text
A. A mother-daughter relationship can be replaced by friendship.
B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.
C. It’s impossible for Marina to develop relationship with her mother.
D. A mother-daughter relationship goes beyond best friendship.
50. What is the best title for the passage
A. How to Be a Good Mother and Daughter
B. Generation Gap between Mother and Daughter
C. Can a Mother Be a Daughter’s Best Friend
D. Daughters Be Independent from Mothers
【答案】46. C 47. A 48. D 49. D 50. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者提出问题：母女关系是不是可以替代友谊。然后通过说理的论证方法，最后得出结论：母女关系胜过友谊。
【46题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段倒数第二句“However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship.”（然而，母女关系有其独特的特点，使其区别于友谊）及最后一句“These characteristics include a hierarchy of responsibilities and unconditional love”（这些特征包括责任等级和无条件的爱）可知，母女关系有独特的特点，故而和友谊有区别，换言之，母女无法成为朋友。故推测是这些特征阻止了母女变成朋友。故推知preclude意为“阻止”。故选C项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Marina, 27 years old, said, “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 living at least 20 years longer than you.””（27岁的玛丽娜说:“我喜欢和妈妈在一起，但我不认为她是我最好的朋友。最好的朋友不会为你的婚礼买单。最好的朋友不会提醒你，他们是如何九月怀胎的，给了你生命!最好的朋友不会告诉你他们有多聪明，因为他们至少比你多活了20年。”）可知，玛丽娜认为母亲可以为她付出很多，但绝不是她最好的朋友。故选A项。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段后三句“This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughter shave 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 work and technology, which may bring them even closer together.”（这一代的母亲和成年女儿有很多共同点，这增加了共同陪伴的可能性。母亲和女儿一直都有做家庭主妇的共同经历，负责维护和传承家庭价值观和传统。今天，当代的母亲和女儿也分享工作和技术的经验，这可能使她们更加亲密。）可知，母女之间可以建立更亲密的关系是因为她们在生活和工作中有着共同的经历。故选D项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“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 for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. ”（最好的朋友可能会继续做最好的朋友，也可能不会继续做最好的朋友，但不管是好是坏，母女关系是永久的，即使因为一些不幸的原因她们不说话。）及最后两句“ The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers always “trump” friends.”（母女关系是任何其他关系都无法替代的。母亲总是“胜过”朋友。）可知，母女关系比任何其他关系都要密切，是永久的关系，它已超出了友谊。故选D项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第二三四句“The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing. The relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. ”（母亲和女儿之间的关系有时令人困惑。这种关系可以类似于友谊。然而，母女关系有着独特的特点，使其区别于友谊。）及第四段最后两句“ The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers always “trump” friends.”（母女关系是任何其他关系都无法替代的。母亲总是“胜过”朋友。）可知，本文探讨的问题就是母女关系和友谊关系是否一样，即“妈妈可以是孩子最好的朋友吗”这一问题；最后给出了作者的答案“妈妈总是胜过朋友”，故C项“Can a Mother Be a Daughter’s Best Friend ”可用作本文标题。故选C项。

【54题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国传统的婚礼仪式上，新娘和新郎都要跪在父母面前，给父母倒茶以示感谢。此处是非谓语动词作状语，express在句中作目的状语，应用不定式。故填to express。

【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：唯一需要注意的是吃饭的时候不宜饮茶。此处是定语从句修饰先行词thing，且关系词在从句中作主语，先行词被the only修饰，只能用关系代词that引导。故填that。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意：唯一需要注意的是吃饭的时候不宜饮茶。此处为短语along with表示“和……一起”。故填with。
【60题详解】

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。
A
When it comes to recycling the household waste, people have done it for about two decades. However, there’s still some confusion about what can and what can’t be recycled. With advances in technology, there are more things that can be recycled.
COFFEE PODS(咖啡包)
On average, Australians are using more than three million coffee pods per day, and about 1.5 million households have coffee machines. While the pods are disastrous for the environment, they can still be recycled. Nespresso has a free post-back program and drop-off points run by TerraCycle, so you can take the pods and directly drop off at Nespresso stores.
LIGHT BULBS
Rather than throwing light bulbs into the bin, some councils run specific recycling stations, which allow you to drop off these kinds of items. If you do regularly recycle household glass, remember all glass should be washed and have lids removed.
PIZZA BOXES
Normally, pizza boxes don’t make it into recycling because they’re covered in grease(油脂)and leftover bits of cheese. When a pizza box is too greasy, it won’t be made into a recycling processing plant. If possible, remove as much of the leftovers as you can before recycling. If the pizza box can’t be recycled, tear off the lid which can still be recycled.
HOUSEHOLD BATTERIES
Household batteries can also be recycled. Batteries that do end up in landfills can cause a serious problem to the environment as they can release poisonous chemicals into the soil which are harmful to both humans and animals. Button-cell batteries, which are used in hearing aids and watches, can also be recycled.
31. Why does TerraCycle run the free post-back program and drop-off points
A. To produce the best coffee.
B. To recycle coffee pods effectively.
C. To encourage people to drink coffee.
D. To offer some families coffee machines.
32. What needs to be done when recycling household glass
A. Clean it with water.
B. Send it to the nearby store.
C. Pack it well with paper.
D. Keep the lid of the glass closed.
33. What should people do first to recycle pizza boxes
A. Put them in recycling stations.
B. Fold them carefully and neatly.
C. Tear the whole boxes into pieces.
D. Clear the leftovers as much as possible.
34. What can we know about batteries from Paragraph 5
A. They can produce harmful materials.
B. They will take a long time to be recycled.
C. Battery recycling can bring economic benefits.
D. Different batteries have different recycling stations.
35. What is the theme of the passage
A. Creative ideas. B. Daily necessities.
C. Technical advances. D. Environmental protection.
B
Spring lifts our spirits. It’s a time for Nature to bring us back to life after a cold season. I live not far from the Kairaku Park, which is one of the largest gardens in Japan, and famous for its near 10,000 plum trees. I am fortunate to have them all outside my backyard, and take advantage of the walking paths daily.
I see the same trees and swans every day, but that day was different. At the edge of the small lake, I saw some new-born black swans. They were pretty and cute. They stayed with their mom. While taking a few photos of the sunset, I was interrupted by a high sound going on for some time. So I turned around and saw one little swan was stuck by two stones. Its mother was trying to make it out but failed. I tried to get near but the mother was ever so angry! She wouldn’t allow me to get close, so I turned to an old man sitting on the bench and said, “Excuse me, the swan baby can’t move and I want to help it, but the mother is extremely angry! Could you please do me a favor ”
After hearing my words, the man smiled at me first and then agreed to help me. He drove the mother away with great efforts, and for several times, he was almost hurt by the mother. Thanks to him, I was able to get there and push the little swan out of the gap finally. Oh, I really hoped it wasn’t injured, but at least it was alive and swimming!
In spring, I become more physically active. Things around don’t make us, but Nature does, and it keeps us going. I am positive that all of us have a little piece of nature in our own neighborhoods. Somewhere we will be reminded why natural life is so important because we grow with it! Personally, I am happy that baby birds can put a smile on my face! I struggle for having a small number of “things” in life, and being filled with simple reality — at one with Nature.

Harvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable material inspired by insects' hard outer shells. The material's inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material, made from shrimp shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk”. It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.
A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic's toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and '60s. Decades later, however, plastic's very durability is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years
Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer, and so will enrich the soil.
Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.
Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They're also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. They're even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.
41. Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shritk's_____.
A. remarkable design B. interesting name
C. major features D. basic elements
42. What has become a concern about plastic
A. Using it properly. B. Producing it cheaply.
C Developing its properties quickly. D. Evaluating its contributions fairly.
43. According to the inventors shrilk has great potential partly because_____.
A. it can help plastic degrade B. it can be found in living things
C. its mass production has been realized D. its raw materials are abundant in mature
44. What are the inventors doing in the lab
A. Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk. B. Testing shrilk's use in wet conditions.
C. Making shrilk out of used household goods. D. Improving shrilk's flexibility for medical purposes.
45. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Recent Progress in Environmental Protection B. Benefits of Insects in Scientific Research
C. The Harm of One-time Products D. A Possible Alternative to Plastic
D
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 a daughter is sometimes confusing. 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 a hierarchy(等级)of responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.
Marina, 27 years old, said, “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 living at least 20 years longer than you.”
This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughter shave 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 work 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 for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. Sometimes this is not an equal relationship. Daughters don’t always feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. But mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers always “trump” friends.
46. What does the underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Differ. B. Benefit. C. Prevent. D. Change.
47. What can we learn from what Marina said
A. Her mother is anything but her best friend.
B. Best friends will not remind her of important issues in life.
C. Her mother is wiser on account of her age.
D. Best friends will not spend money on her wedding.
48. Why can a mother and a daughter build a closer relationship according to Paragraph 3
A. Because they share advanced technology with each other.
B. Because they work together to support the whole family.
C. Because they experience the same values and traditions.
D. Because they have common experience in life and work.
49. What do we know from the text
A. A mother-daughter relationship can be replaced by friendship.
B. A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.
C. It’s impossible for Marina to develop relationship with her mother.
D. A mother-daughter relationship goes beyond best friendship.
50. What is the best title for the passage
A. How to Be a Good Mother and Daughter
B. Generation Gap between Mother and Daughter
C. Can a Mother Be a Daughter’s Best Friend
D. Daughters Be Independent from Mothers
