I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she would say again, “it’s for Elizabeth.”I never saw her be angry, and never saw her cry. I knew she loved me — she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks betw een mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional（易动感情的）”. But she lived “on the surface（表面）”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅）me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment（失望）, then little interest and, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and f ound some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded（折叠）and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.【小题1】The writer began to love her mother’s desk ______.A．after Mother diedB．before she became a writerC．when she was a childD．when Mother gave it to her【小题2】The passage shows that ______.A．mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB．mother was too serious about everything her daughter had doneC．mother cared much about her daughter in wordsD．mother wrote to her daughter in careful words【小题3】The word “gulf” in the passage means ______.A．deep understanding between the old and the youngB．different ideas between the mother and the daughterC．free talks between mother and daughterD．part of the sea going far in land【小题4】What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking forgiveness?A．She had never received the letter.18. Perhaps you’ve seen the English letters “WC” in your city. They show public toilets. But do you know it is far from elegant (优雅的) English? In fact, fo reigners from English-speaking countries rarely use the letters.Workers in our city are changing “WC” signs all over the city. The government is spending much money changing all the bad English on signs and restauran t menus. Many other places in China are following our steps.“WC, or water closet, is old-fashioned English. It sounds dirty to me,” says Charlie Shifflet, a young man from the US. The old sign will become “Gents/Me n” and “Ladies/Women”.“I see lots of poor English in everyday life, and not only on signs,” he says. “I know what they mean. But they are Chinglish, not real English. For example,when someone says to me ‘My hometown is Henan Province’, I know he should say: ‘My hometown is in Henan Province’. ‘Hometown’ is a smaller place i n a province.” The common mistakes he picked up include “Not Entry”, which should be “No Entry”, “Direction of Airport” should be changed to “To the Airport”. And it is “room rate”, not “room price”. And remember to “Keep off the grass”, rather than “Care of the green”.【小题1】What does the writer think of the use of “WC”?A ．He doesn’t think it means water closet.B ．He doesn’t think it old-fashioned English.C ．He doesn’t think it proper for a sign.D ．He thinks it elegant English.【小题2】The underlined word “rarely” means ________.A ．sometimesB ．seldomC ．oftenD ．always【小题3】Charlie Shifflet ___________.A ．is a Chinese living in AmericaB ．thinks Chinese people are sometimes using incorrect EnglishC ．likes to hear or see ChinglishD ．sometimes uses Chinglish【小题4】Which of the following signs does NOT use Chinglish?D ．Talks Between Mother and MeC ．My Mother’s DeskB ．Mother and Children A ．My Letter to Mother 【小题5】What’s the best title of the passage?D ．She read the letter again and again till she died.C ．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.B ．For years, she often talked about the letter.19. 任务型阅读(一)。
