37、妈妈说明了原因。31选C推理判断题。文章第一段第一句话为主题句，C 项符合主旨。32选A主旨大意题。A 选项提出了事件的中心，所以选A较为恰当。“Mums Ugly？”说明了妈妈不注意形象，这是原因，而“Hire One！”说明了它导致的结果。语篇解读：不同的家长有不同的处罚方式，但什么样的处罚才是有效的呢？在惩罚孩子的同时还要注意些什么？本文给出了相关建议。33选D写作意图题。文章首先在首段中介绍了自己在生活中犯错时受到的惩罚，第二段的主旨句“There is a fine balance that you have to keep when you decide to use which
