My
mother，a
nurse
at
Stony
Brook
University
Hospital，worked
at
night
so
that
she
could
come
home
in
time
to
send
me
to
school.She’d
sleep
during
the
day
and
be
ready
when
we
returned
home
before
heading
out
again
in
the
evening.This
went
on
for
23
years.She
never
complained.No
matter
how
tired
she
was，she
always
had
enough
energy
to
be
my
mom.
She
often
had
to
work
on
Christmas，Christmas
Eve
or
New
Year’s
Eve，and
sometimes
Thanksgiving，which
made
me
upset.However，before
holidays
she
always
decorated
the
inside
and
outside
of
our
house.She’d
also
have
cookies
baking
in
the
oven，a
holiday?themed
movie
in
the
VCR，and
music
playing
throughout
our
house
for
us.But
when
it
was
time
to
go
to
work，there
was
no
room
for
debate.“Why
do
you
have
to
work
on
this
day
of
all
days？”
I’d
ask
sadly.“They
need
me，too，dear
son，”
she’d
respond，compassion(同情)
in
her
tone.
For
a
long
time
I
didn’t
understand
why
she
should
care
so
much
about
those
sick
strangers.Recently，as
my
grandmother
became
ill，I
found
myself
spending
more
time
in
hospitals.The
scenes
I
saw
in
the
hospital
made
me
see
the
different
side
of
my
mother.The
nurses
checked
heart，blood
and
oxygen
levels，made
sure
patients
were
comfortable.They
lifted
patients
in
and
out
of
bed
and
helped
them
to
the
bathroom.Beyond
their
duties，the
nurses
displayed
consideration
for
each
patient.
What
I
saw
helped
me
to
understand
why
my
mother
was
devoted
to
her
occupation.I
was
filled
with
more
admiration
for
my
mother.
4．Why
did
the
author’s
mother
work
in
the
evening?
A．To
take
him
to
school.
B．To
enjoy
a
movie.
C．To
decorate
their
house.
D．To
sleep
during
the
day.
5．What
can
be
inferred
from
Paragraph
2?
A．The
mother
loved
her
patients
more
than
her
kids.
B．Nurses
are
paid
double
salary
working
on
holidays.
C．The
author
wished
his
mother
could
stay
home
on
holidays.
D．Only
people
with
mercy
on
patients
will

mother
was
after
work

are
often
dissatisfied
with
their
mothers.

V.完形填空
As
the
oldest
and
my
mom’s
“grown?up”
girl，I
was
not
supposed
to
be
so
excited
when
Christmas
came.But
when
I
was
alone，I
liked
to
1
each
present
under
the
tree.I
2
every
tag(标签)
and
felt
every
package
so
that
I
could
even
3
which
present
went
to
which
person.
It
had
been
a
tough
year
for
my
family.When
Mom
was
4
the
gifts，she
sighed
and
warned
us，“There
won’t
be
much
for
Christmas
this
year.Try
not
to
be
5
.”
In
the
past，the
presents
would
pile
up
and
6
cover
the
living
room
floor.
On
Christmas
morning，we
eagerly
waited
until
Dad
told
us
everything
was
7
.We
rushed
into
the
living
room
and
made
the
wrapping
paper
8
.
“Here’s
another
one
for
you，”
said
Mom
as
she
9
me
a
package.I
looked
at
it，confused.Having
10
so
much
time
examining
the
present
before
Christmas，I
11
this
one.But
it
should
have
been
Mom’s.A
new
12
had
been
put
on
it，
13
my
name
written
in
my
mother’s
handwriting.
“Mom，I
can’t...”
I
was
14
by
my
mother’s
joyful
look—a
look
I
could
not
really
understand.“Let’s
see
15
it
is，honey.Hurry
and
open
it.”
It
was
a
hair
dryer.
16
this
may
be
a
simple
gift
for
other
people，to
me
it
was
so
much
more.Being
an
eleven?year?old
girl，I
was
17
.In
my
world，where
18
outweighed(比……重要)
giving，my
mother’s
act
was
hard
for
me
to
understand.Tears
19
my
eyes.How
much
my
mother
must
love
me
to
20
her
Christmas
so
that
I
could
have
a
few
more
presents!
I
still
remember
that
Christmas
and
I’m
sure
I
will
never
forget
it.

【语篇解读】本文是关于四个艺术节的广告。
1．答案D
解析：细节理解题。题干中的“Grotto
Concert”出现在第二则广告中，由此可知，它的活动时间是“When：Aug.29－Sept.9”。故选D项。
2．答案D
解析：数字计算题。由题干中的Cheyenne可定位至第三则广告，由其中的“Competition
tickets
start
at
$18，and
concert
tickets
at
$23.”可计算出，观看一场比赛再听一场音乐会至少要花费18＋23＝41(美元)。故选D项。
3．答案B
解析：细节理解题。根据第四则广告中的“This
year’s
performances
include
Wagner’s
‘The
Flying
Dutchman’...”
可知想看瓦格纳的《漂泊的荷兰人》就要去The
Glimmerglass
Festival。故选B项。
B
My
mother，a
nurse
at
Stony
Brook
University
Hospital，worked
at
night
so
that
she
could
come
home
in
time
to
send
me
to
school.She’d
sleep
during
the
day
and
be
ready
when
we
returned
home
before
heading
out
again
in
the
evening.This
went
on
for
23
years.She
never
complained.No
matter
how
tired
she
was，she
always
had
enough
energy
to
be
my
mom.
She
often
had
to
work
on
Christmas，Christmas
Eve
or
New
Year’s
Eve，and
sometimes
Thanksgiving，which
made
me
upset.However，before
holidays
she
always
decorated
the
inside
and
outside
of
our
house.She’d
also
have
cookies
baking
in
the
oven，a
holiday?themed
movie
in
the
VCR，and
music
playing
throughout
our
house
for
us.But
when
it
was
time
to
go
to
work，there
was
no
room
for
debate.“Why
do
you
have
to
work
on
this
day
of
all
days？”
I’d
ask
sadly.“They
need
me，too，dear
son，”
she’d
respond，compassion(同情)
in
her
tone.
For
a
long
time
I
didn’t
understand
why
she
should
care
so
much
about
those
sick
strangers.Recently，as
my
grandmother
became
ill，I
found
myself
spending
more
time
in
hospitals.The
scenes
I
saw
in
the
hospital
made
me
see
the
different
side
of
my
mother.The
nurses
checked
heart，blood
and
oxygen
levels，made
sure
patients
were
comfortable.They
lifted
patients
in
and
out
of
bed
and
helped
them
to
the
bathroom.Beyond
their
duties，the
nurses
displayed
consideration
for
each
patient.
What
I
saw
helped
me
to
understand
why
my
mother
was
devoted
to
her
occupation.I
was
filled
with
more
admiration
for
my
mother.
4．Why
did
the
author’s
mother
work
in
the
evening?
A．To
take
him
to
school.
B．To
enjoy
a
movie.
C．To
decorate
their
house.
D．To
sleep
during
the
day.
5．What
can
be
inferred
from
Paragraph
2?
A．The
mother
loved
her
patients
more
than
her
kids.
B．Nurses
are
paid
double
salary
working
on
holidays.
C．The
author
wished
his
mother
could
stay
home
on
holidays.
D．Only
people
with
mercy
on
patients
will
make
good
nurses.
6．The
author
really
understood
his
mother’s
work
when
.
A．he
asked
his
mother
to
stay
with
him
during
holidays

looked
after
his
sick
grandma
in
hospital
C．he
saw
how
tired
his
mother
was
after
work
D．he
helped
patients
to
the
bathroom
7．What
is
the
main
idea
of
the
passage?
A．Children
of
nurses
are
often
dissatisfied
with
their
mothers.
B．Nurses
are
particularly
busy
at
work
during
holidays.
C．The
author
gained
a
new
appreciation
of
his
mother.
D．The
author’s
mother
liked
doing
housework.

V.完形填空
As
the
oldest
and
my
mom’s
“grown?up”
girl，I
was
not
supposed
to
be
so
excited
when
Christmas
came.But
when
I
was
alone，I
liked
to
1
each
present
under
the
tree.I
2
every
tag(标签)
and
felt
every
package
so
that
I
could
even
3
which
present
went
to
which
person.
It
had
been
a
tough
year
for
my
family.When
Mom
was
4
the
gifts，she
sighed
and
warned
us，“There
won’t
be
much
for
Christmas
this
year.Try
not
to
be
5
.”
In
the
past，the
presents
would
pile
up
and
6
cover
the
living
room
floor.
On
Christmas
morning，we
eagerly
waited
until
Dad
told
us
everything
was
7
.We
rushed
into
the
living
room
and
made
the
wrapping
paper
8
.
“Here’s
another
one
for
you，”
said
Mom
as
she
9
me
a
package.I
looked
at
it，confused.Having
10
so
much
time
examining
the
present
before
Christmas，I
11
this
one.But
it
should
have
been
Mom’s.A
new
12
had
been
put
on
it，
13
my
name
written
in
my
mother’s
handwriting.
“Mom，I
can’t...”
I
was
14
by
my
mother’s
joyful
look—a
look
I
could
not
really
understand.“Let’s
see
15
it
is，honey.Hurry
and
open
it.”
It
was
a
hair
dryer.
16
this
may
be
a
simple
gift
for
other
people，to
me
it
was
so
much
more.Being
an
eleven?year?old
girl，I
was
17
.In
my
world，where
18
outweighed(比……重要)
giving，my
mother’s
act
was
hard
for
me
to
understand.Tears

eyes.How
much
my
mother
must
love
me
to
20
her
Christmas
so
that
I
could
have
a
few
more
presents!
I
still
remember
that
Christmas
and
I’m
sure
I
will
never
forget
it.

8．答案A

17．答案C

18．答案D
解析：我们经常把“receiving”与“giving”放在一起，表示“接受”与“给予”。在我的世界里，接受要比给予更重要。所以妈妈的行为我很难理解，但是从中我能够理解妈妈对我的爱。故D正确。
