Ⅲ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者和母亲表达爱的方式不同,母亲的内敛和寡言少语让作者很不理解,但是一首诗让作者理解了母亲表达爱的方式。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,母亲喜欢将一段话或一个句子剪下来贴在厨房的墙上,而作者却喜欢逐词地把自己喜欢的句子抄下来。作者以对比的手法展示了母女二人性格和做事方法的不同,为故事情节的发展做了铺垫。故选C项。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中“My mother has never told me ‘I love you, Lisa.’—as if the four-word absence explains who I am—so I carry it with me, like a label on me. The last time she almost spoke the words was two years ago, when she called to tell me a friend had been in hospital. I said, ‘I love you, mum.’ She stopped for a while and then said, ‘Thank you.’”可知,母亲平时从未对作者直接表达过母爱,即便作者在电话中告诉母亲“妈妈,我爱你。”,母亲也只是说了一声“谢谢”。由此推知,“寡言少语的、内敛的”最能描述她们之间的关系。故选C项。
3.A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“After copying it down in my journal, I e-mailed it to Mum, adding ‘This poem makes me think of you.’”可知,作者把这首诗发送给她的妈妈是因为这让她想起了妈妈的爱。故选A项。
4.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I haven’t said it since, but I’ve wondered why my mother doesn’t until I’ve found a poem that supplies words for the blank spaces I try to understand in our conversations…”可知,作者因这首诗理解了妈妈表达爱的方式;再由最后一段中“But the next time I went home for vacation, I noticed something new in the kitchen fixed to an antique board: the poem.The board hung above the heater, the warmest spot in the kitchen. The poem still hangs there.”可知,作者回到家看到母亲把诗挂在厨房,由此推知,妈妈明白了女儿理解了自己的爱。故选D项。
Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了西方人比尔·波特对中国古代诗歌的热爱。
1.grabbed 考查时态。由上文“It was Mid-Autumn Festival.”和并列谓语recited可知,事情已经发生,谓语动词grab用一般过去时。故填grabbed。
2.into 考查固定搭配。固定搭配translate…into…意为“把……翻译成……”。故填into。
3.that 考查表语从句。该空引导表语从句,从句的结构和意义完整,用只起连接作用的that。故填that。
4.characters 考查名词复数。由数词five or seven修饰,用可数名词character的复数形式。故填characters。
5.an 考查冠词。此处泛指“一次冒险”,adventure的发音以元音音素开头,用不定冠词an。故填an。
6.and 考查并列连词。Su Shi和Tao Yuanming是并列关系,用并列连词and。故填and。
7.Seeing 考查现在分词。本句已有谓语travelled且无连词,动词see用非谓语形式,主语Porter与动词see是主谓关系,see用现在分词作状语,首字母大写。故填Seeing。
8.will be published 考查时态和语态。主语his translation work Poems of the Masters和谓语动词publish是被动关系,结合时间状语soon可知,用一般将来时的被动语态。故填will be published。
9.traditional 考查形容词。形容词traditional作定语,修饰名词短语Chinese culture。故填traditional。
10.to share 考查不定式。固定搭配would like to do sth意为“想要做某事”。故填to share。

1.C 根据下文“…in a hilly, seaside city in China…”可知,作者是在一个沿海城市长大的,故选C项。go through经历;work out计算;grow up成长;get around各处走动。
2.D 根据上文“…biking was dangerous for me.”可知,作者之前不会骑自行车,现在需要开始学习,故选D项。travel旅行;decide决定;advance推进;learn学习。

When reading, my mother likes to slice a paragraph or a sentence out and attach it to the wall of her kitchen. She picks boring sentences that puzzle me. But I prefer copying favourite bright lines into a journal in soft, grey No. 2 pencil, word by word.
She doesn’t know any of this. There’s nothing shocking: for our chatting, we seldom begin certain conversations though we talk on the phone weekly, sometimes making each other laugh so hard that I choke and she cries. But what we don’t say could fill up rooms. Fights with my father. Small failures in school. Anything that really upsets us.
My mother has never told me “I love you, Lisa.”—as if the four-word absence explains who I am—so I carry it with me, like a label on me. The last time she almost spoke the words was two years ago, when she called to tell me a friend had been in hospital. I said, “I love you, mum.” She stopped for a while and then said, “Thank you.” I haven’t said it since, but I’ve wondered why my mother doesn’t until I’ve found a poem that supplies words for the blank spaces I try to understand in our conversations:
Don’t fill up on bread. I say absent-mindedly. The servings here are huge.
My son, middle-aged, says: Did you really just say that to me
What he doesn’t know is that when we’re walking together, I desire to reach for his hand.
It’s humble, yet heartbreaking. After copying it down in my journal, I e-mailed it to Mum, adding “This poem makes me think of you.” My mother doesn’t read poetry—or at least, she doesn’t tell me, and I felt nervous clicking “Send”.
She never mentioned the poem. But the next time I went home for vacation, I noticed something new in the kitchen fixed to an antique board: the poem. The board hung above the heater, the warmest spot in the kitchen. The poem still hangs there. Neither my mother nor I have ever spoken about it.
