单选题 Islam is a complete way of life. It considers the family the corner stone of Islamic society. It bases the atmosphere in the family on sacrifice, love, loyalty, and obedience. When we say "family" we mean the traditional definition of it, namely husband, wife and children. Grandparents are also part of the extended Muslim family.
It may be asked here: how does Islam organize family relationships? To answer this we have to concentrate on: husband wife relationship and parent children relationship. As for husband wife relationship the following verse portrays the right Islamic atmosphere:
"And among his signs is this: He created for you spouses from yourselves that you might find rest in them, and He ordained between you love and mercy."
The Prophet of Islam p.b.u.h, also stressed these meanings when he said: The best among you are those who are best to their families and I am the best of you to my family. He once exclaimed: it is only the evil one who abuses them (women) and the honored one is he who honors them. Once a man came to the Prophet p.b.u.h, and asked: who is the person who is most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet answered your mother, your mother, your mother then your father. That is why Islam made Paradise under the feet of mothers according to one tradition of the Prophet p.b.u.h.
These are among the main chapters of the Quran that decide and clearly depict the Islamic relationship between parents and their children. It is a relationship based as we see on belief in Allah, and feeling that He observes all what we do and that we are accountable to Him even in the bad breath that we may release against our parents when we are angry. Even this has to be controlled.
Let us remember, however, that it is only parents who do their duty, who deserve this honorable treatment of their children. That is why when a parent came to the Prophet p.b.u.h, and complained to him about the ingratitude of his son, the son said: He was ungrateful to me O Messenger of Allah, before I showed ingratitude to him. So the Prophet p.b.u.h, did not blame the son but disliked the attitude of his parent. This is a message to all parents.
(*本文中的Prophet of Islam p.b.u.h指先知穆罕墨德,也被称为穆圣;p.b.u.h即peace be upon)
单选题 "Islam is a complete way of life" because ______.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 第1段的首句与第2、3句构成隐含的因果关系,第1句为果,第2、3句为因,第3句伊斯兰教规定家庭要以牺牲、爱、忠诚、顺从为基础,这些都属于伊斯兰教的教义,由此可见A是对第3句的近义改写,为本题答案。
单选题 "He" in the third paragraph has the same reference as ______.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] He是大写的,原文只有在第5段第2句提到Allah的时候再次用了He来指代Allah,由此可见,本题应选C。He大写的时候,应该是指伊斯兰教的“真主”。A和B都是一个事物,不能用人称代词he来指代;D虽然是人,但也只能用小写he来代指。
单选题 Which paragraph discusses both husband wife relationship and parent children relationship?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 第4段前两句是关于husband and wife relationship的,剩下的三句是关于parent children relationship的,可见本题应选B。从各段的用词可以看出,第3段的内容只关于husband and wife relationship,第5段和第6段的内容只关于parent children relationship。
单选题 What is true about the parent children relationship?
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 最后一段第1句中的强调句it is only...的内容表明只有尽了责任的父母才值得孩子的尊敬,本段中提到的先知p.b.u.h.的例子也是为了说明这一点,说明父母要想得到孩子的尊重,首先得尊重孩子,由此可见,本题应选B。
