推断题
My husband, Aaron Simone, is the secretary of defense—not of our country, but of our household. I promoted him to SecDef after a shameful incident in which I called him late one night while he was away on a fishing trip. I was convinced there was an intruder lurking in our apartment because I kept hearing strange noises outside our bedroom door. The real culprit was the ice maker in our refrigerator, something Aaron guessed a minute into our phone call. But he stayed on the line with me for hours, calming me down and advising me on how to barricade the bedroom door.
Needless to say, the ice maker didn’t come for me that night, and all we lost was some sleep. Aaron didn’t get upset with me (bless him), but he did get a security bar for our front door to ensure no one could force their way in at night. And in recognition of his heroism, I appointed him SecDef.
“Now, where should we put this thing when we’re not using it?” I asked about the new device.
“That’s up to you,” he said. “You’re in charge of the Department of the Interior.”
With one position apiece, we felt we should continue to name our Cabinet. Some decisions were easy. He, by far the more confident and competent driver, was a shoo-in for transportation secretary. And since I have more enthusiasm for shopping, I was the natural choice to lead the Department of Commerce.
Others aren’t as obvious. My husband does the cooking, but I buy the groceries. So which one of us should oversee the Department of Agriculture? Aaron is more diplomatic than I am, but I host more of our parties. So who’d be the better secretary of state?
One appointment came as a surprise to both of us. We were chopping ingredients for a salad (again, who’s in charge of Agriculture?) when I got—essentially—an onion splinter. Yes, an ultrathin sliver of red onion slipped inside the pad of my finger. As I stared incredulously at my injury, Aaron got the tweezers and plucked out the offending onion. And just like that, he became surgeon general.
That said, our Cabinet is far from complete. I’m on deck to run the Department of Education, but my duties won’t start until we have kids. Neither of us has entrepreneurial aspirations, so I doubt we’ll ever have our own Small Business Administration. And our families get along, so we could even get away without a U.N. ambassador. But there’s one Cabinet position neither of us wants and we hope we never need: attorney general.
Why did the author promote her husband to SecDef of their household?
He demonstrated marvellous skill during his fishing trip.
","He physically shielded her from a real intruder in the house.
","He comforted her when she was frightened and added security measures.
","He successfully repaired the malfunctioning ice-maker in the refrigerator.
"]推理判断题。根据文章第一段 “I was convinced there was an intruder lurking in our apartment because I kept hearing strange noises outside our bedroom door. The real culprit was the ice maker in our refrigerator, something Aaron guessed a minute into our phone call. But he stayed on the line with me for hours, calming me down and advising me on how to barricade the bedroom door. (我坚信我们的公寓里有个闯入者，因为我一直听到卧室门外有奇怪的声响。真正的 ‘罪魁祸首’ 是我们冰箱里的制冰机，在我们通话一分钟后，Aaron就猜到了。但他还是在电话里陪了我好几个小时，让我平静下来，还教我如何用东西堵住卧室的门。)” 以及第二段 “Aaron didn’t get upset with me (bless him), but he did get a security bar for our front door to ensure no one could force their way in at night. And in recognition of his heroism, I appointed him SecDef. (Aaron并没有生我的气 (谢天谢地)，但他确实在前门装了一根安全门闩，以确保晚上没人能强行闯入。为了表彰他的英勇行为，我任命他为我们家的 ‘国防部长’。)” 可知，作者以为有入侵者，其实是冰箱制冰机的声音，丈夫在电话里陪了她几个小时，让她平静下来并教她如何堵住卧室门。后来丈夫还在前门装了安全门闩来确保安全，作者为了表彰他的英勇行为，任命他为家里的 “国防部长”。由此可知，作者提升丈夫为家里的 “国防部长” 是因为当她害怕时丈夫安慰了她，并增加了安全措施。故选C。

"]人物性格题。根据文章第一段 “But he stayed on the line with me for hours, calming me down and advising me on how to barricade the bedroom door. (但他还是在电话里陪了我好几个小时，让我平静下来，还教我如何用东西堵住卧室的门。)” 可知，当作者感到害怕时，亚伦在电话里陪了她好几个小时，让她平静下来，这显示出他很有耐心；再根据第二段 “Aaron didn’t get upset with me (bless him), but he did get a security bar for our front door to ensure no one could force their way in at night. (Aaron并没有生我的气 (谢天谢地)，但他确实在前门装了一根安全门闩，以确保晚上没人能强行闯入。)” 可知，Aaron在前门安装安全门闩确保安全，体现了他具有保护欲，想要保护家人的安全。再根据倒数第二段 “As I stared incredulously at my injury, Aaron got the tweezers and plucked out the offending onion. And just like that, he became surgeon general. (我难以置信地盯着自己的伤口时，Aaron拿来了镊子，把那块讨厌的洋葱取了出来。就这样，他成了我们家的 ‘卫生部长’。)” 可知，当作者手指扎进洋葱碎片时，Aaron能及时拿来镊子取出洋葱，这表明他足智多谋，能够想办法解决问题。故选C。
What does the fact that they could get away without a “U.N. ambassador” suggest?
They hold a strong disinterest in international affairs and interactions.
","The relationship among their families is so harmonious that such a role is unnecessary.
","There is no necessity for diplomatic representation in their family setup.
","They are under financial limitations that prevent them from assuming such a position.
"]推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 “And our families get along, so we could even get away without a U.N. ambassador. (而且我们双方的家庭相处得很好，所以就算没有 ‘联合国大使’ 这个职位，我们也能应付得过来。)” 可知，作者提到他们就算没有 “联合国大使” 这个职位也能应付得过来，原因是他们双方的家庭相处得很好。因此，他们就算没有 “联合国大使” 也能应付得过来这一事实表明他们家庭之间的关系非常和谐，以至于这样的一个角色是不必要的。故选B。
Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
Filling the Cabinet
","Unconventional Household Roles
","A Perfect Match

"]标题概括题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇讲述了作者封丈夫为家里的 “国防部长” 的原因，之后围绕着给家里的 “内阁” 成员命名展开，详细讨论了各个 “内阁” 职位的归属，如 “交通部长” “商业部长” “卫生部长” 等，还提到了一些尚未确定或不需要的职位，整体内容主要围绕着组建家庭 “内阁” 展开。选项A “Filling the Cabinet (组建内阁)” 准确地概括了文章主要内容，即作者和丈夫为家里设置不同的 “内阁” 职位。故选A。
