Key James,Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government,loves to turn the tables on those who don't think it's possible to be middle-class,conservative,educated and still be truly black.Once,during an abortion debate,a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn't have a clue about real African American life."If you understood what these women go through,"the woman said,"you would realize that abortion is their only choice."
James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare.She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family.Now she discovers another child is on the way."How would you counsel that woman?"asked James.
"Have an abortion,"the woman responded."That child would have a very poor quality of life."
"I have a vested interest in your answer,"James said."The woman I described was my mother.I was the fifth of six children born into poverty.And,in case you're interested,the quality of my life is just fine!"
James'father__.
A、divorced his wife
B、liked to drink
C、deserted his family
D、B and C
【正确答案】:D
【题目解析】:根据原文的描述,Key James 在讲述他母亲的情况时提到了她有一个“alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family”。这句话可以分解为两部分来理解:一是“alcoholic husband”,即一个酗酒的丈夫,这与选项B“liked to drink”相符;二是“has all but abandoned the family”,表示这个丈夫几乎抛弃了家庭,与选项C“deserted his family”相符。
因此,我们可以得出结论,James的父亲既酗酒又抛弃了家庭,所以正确答案是D选项,即B和C两个选项都正确。
