试题【I remember one Thanksgiving when our family had no money and no food, and someon】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her ailing in her later years. At eighty-five, she suffered a stroke and she went steadily downhill after that.
Two days before she died, my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair. While we waited for the staff to lift her limp body back into bed, Mom fell asleep. Not wanting to wake her, we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly.
After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a muffled sound coming from across the room. We stopped talking and looked at Mom. Her eyes were closed, but she was clearly trying to communicate with us. We went to her side.
“Whirr,” she said weakly.
“Where?” I asked. “Mom, is there something you want?” “Whirr,” she repeated a bit stronger. My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.
Mom opened her eyes, sighed, and with all the energy she could muster said, “Not was, say were!”
It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother Jim’s last sentence. “If it was up to me…”
Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek. “Thanks, Mom,” he whispered. We smiled at each other and once again shook our heads…this time in awe of a remarkable teacher.
小题1:When Mom said, “Whirr”, what did she really want to do?
A.She wanted to tell her sons her will. |
B.She wanted to have something to eat before she died. |
C.She wanted to correct the mistakes Jim made while talking. |
D.She wanted to teach her sons more because she was dying. |
A.Mom was a good teacher and never wanted to stop her teaching. |
B.Mom was always making her teaching fun. |
C.Mom didn’t forget her teaching until she died. |

B.His mother should forget her teaching and enjoyed the rest of her life. |
C.His mother was great because she devoted herself to teaching. |
D.His mother was an excellent teacher before she was retired. |
A.Once a teacher, always | B.Mom’s will |
C.A teacher’s life | D.A teacher’s devotion |
How to Become ClevererOnce a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer, because his mother always called him “foolish boy”.
“That’s easy,” answered the fisherman. “I know one way to make you become cleverer.”
“Really?”
“Of course. It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you’ll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.” The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.
A raw fish head is not good—not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gulps.
“Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman.
“Not in my head,” said the boy.
The boy lay on the ground and thought. “One whole fish costs only two pounds. I had paid him three pounds for the fish head. Why couldn’t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman. “You thief! You are fooling me!” The fisherman laughed, saying, “The fish head works now, you see.”

I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
“I’m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?”
My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in those days.”
Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”
This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have travelled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal.
小题1:Why has the author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?
A.To leave messages. |
B.To list her everyday tasks. |

B.It needs to be replaced by a better one. |
C.It brings her back to her lonely childhood. |
D.It should be passed on to the next generation. |

B.giving her mother a lot of trouble |
C.not making good use of time as her mother did |
D.not making any breakthrough in her field |
A.The mother is successful in her career. |
B.The family members like travelling. |
C.The author had little time to play when young. |
D.The marks on the breadboard have disappeared. |
A.strange in behaviour |
B.keen on her research |
C.fond of collecting old things |
D.careless about her appearance |
But the nervous father persisted. He wondered if the child might suffer psychological effects of ridicule, or if they should consider plastic surgery. The nurse assured him that it was really no problem, and he should just wait to see if the boy grows into his ears.
The father finally felt more optimistic about his child, but now he worried about his wife"s reaction to those large ears. She had been delivered by operation, and had not yet seen the child.
“She doesn"t take things as easily as I do,” he said to the nurse.
By this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready to meet her new baby. The nurse went along with the dad to lend some support in case this inexperienced mother became upset about her baby"s large ears.
The baby was in a receiving blanket with his head covered for the short trip through the cold air-conditioned corridor. The baby was placed in his mother"s arms, who eased the blanket back so that she could look at her child for the first time.
She took one look at her baby"s face and looked to her husband and gasped, “Oh, Honey! Look! He has your ears!”
No problem with Mom. She married those ears...and she loves the man to whom they are attached.
The poet Kahlil Gibran said, “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” It"s hard to see the ears when you"re looking into the light.
小题1:When the father first saw his baby, he was worried that________.

B.She was the first to discover the baby’s large ears. |
C.She suggested having an operation on the baby immediately. |
D.She found something similar between the baby and its father. |
A.The ears. | B.The parents |
C.The doctor and nurse. | D.The problems |
A.To advise readers to listen carefully. |
B.To draw a conclusion from the story. |
C.To criticize the wrong attitude to physical beauty. |
D.To stress the importance of doctor-patient relationship. |
Norah has a cottage on a cliff above a big bay. In winter it could be very nasty because of strong winds and sea spray. In fact, when a gale was blowing, Norah and her husband got used to sleeping in a small room downstairs, because their bedroom upstairs, which faced the gales, had a very big window, and they were afraid that an extra violent gust might break it and blow pieces of broken glass over them.Also, the salt spray from the sea put an end to many of the colorful plants Norah planted in the garden. She tried putting up a fence to protect them, but the wind just hit it, went up over the top and then down the other side, so in the end she filled the garden with trees and bushes that liked salt.
But most of the summer Norah enjoyed her cottage and garden very much. At weekends she could sit out-of-doors in the sun, looking at the beautiful view, with interesting ships and boats passing by, and she could very easily cycle down to the sea for a swim.
Now, Norah and her husband had plenty of friends and relations. In the summer most of them used to come to enjoy the beautiful place, and in the end it really became quite annoying for Norah and her husband. When they were at home, they found friends and relations arriving, expecting to be given unlimited drinks and meals, and to sit in the sun for hours, talking as if Norah and her husband had nothing else to do but entertain and listen to them.
This went on for several years. Norah did not wish to appear rude by refusing to let her friends and relations in, but on the other hand, she was getting tired every summer.
Then one day Norah was complaining about this to her hairdresser while she was doing her hair. “You’re disturbed by too many uninvited guests, are you?” said the hairdresser. “Why don’t you try my way of escaping?”
“What’s that?” asked Norah.
“Well,” the hairdresser answered, “when the bell rings, I put on my coat and take my shopping bag. If it’s someone I don’t want to see, I say innocently, ‘I’m sorry, but I’ve got to go out. But…’”
小题1:
In paragraph one the underlined word “spray” probably means . A.wastes produced by some birds living near the sea |
B.great waves caused by strong wind |
C.plants floating on the surface of the sea |
D.very small drops of sea water sent through the air by something |
小题2:
We can infer that . A.a lot of friends came to visit them in winter |
B.few friends came to visit them in winter. |
C.Friends came to visit them only for drinks and meals |
D.Norah was a good cook |
小题3:
The best title for the passage might be . A.A Good Place of Enjoying the Sea |
B.A Warm-hearted Couple |
C.A Clever Way of Escaping |
D.A Visit to Norah |
小题4:
What the hairdresser is likely to continue to say in the end is “ ” A.If I am tired, I say, ‘Sorry, can you come next time?’ |
B.If it’s someone I like to see, I say, ‘How lucky! I’ve just come in!’ |
C.If it’s someone I like to see, I say, ‘How happy to see you! I was going shopping, but now I’ve changed my mind.’ |
D.If it is fine that day, I say, ‘I am tired, but I’ll show you around the place, anyhow.’ |
