试题分析：文章通过讲述一个家族企业的发展历程。作者以此来强调家庭团结的重要性。Helene和丈夫离

开越南时，他们并不富有。Helene给她的女儿讲述了一个关于团结的故事。・双筷子很容易被折断，但是，

当几双筷子绑在一起时，它们将很难被折断，对于家庭来说亦是如此。

60.A细节理解题。根据第一段"shetiedseveralchopstickstogether,representingafamily.

Thislessonaboutfamilyunity...”可知，Helene把筷子绑在一起并试着折断它们,是为了显示团结的

力量。

61.B细节理解题。根据"whenHeleneandherhusbandDannylefttheirhomeinVietnamin1975,

theydidn'thavemuchmoney.”可知，当离开越南时，Helene夫妇并没有太多的钱。

62.C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段^Eventuallythegirlsallgraduatedfromcollege排除A；根

据“thedaughtersreturnedtoworkinthefamilybusiness”可知,Helene的女儿们相继都回到了家

族企业，但文中未提到她们无法承受家族企业里的工作，排除B；根据“theyworkedtogethertomakethe

businesssuccessful”可知，虽然有分歧，但她们还是齐心协力地工作,排除D。

63.D选择最佳标题。根据第一段uHeleneAnalwaystoldthemthattherewasstrengthinunity（团

结）."和第三段"tosucceedwemusthaveunity”与第四段“andtheyworkedtogether.Nowtheyare

abigsuccess.”可知，文文章主要讲的是家庭团结对取得成功的重要性。文章没有讲怎样经营一家大型

公司，也没有提到怎样实现伟大梦想。

细节理解题比较简单，考生可以从文中直接找到提示；推理判断题需要从文中找到排除某一个选项的依据，

而不能主观臆断。选择最佳标题，需要注意排除绝对化或片面的选项，要放眼全文，从手段和末段寻找文

章的主旨大意。
