Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked
A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given
in the passage you have just read.
A
After my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family.
Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have
only one hand.”
Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel
those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything
again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had
each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next.
When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home
crying.
That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw the “we’ll see about
that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted
playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars. “Now, pull up with your right arm,”
she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until
I could hook the bar with my other elbow (手肘). Day after day we practiced, and
she praised me for every rung (横档) I reached. I’ll never forget the next time,
crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths
open.
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed crying. I could
hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance
with me.”
For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday
you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and trembling;
I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how
much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.
34. Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom’
s attitude when she made her child peel potatoes?
A. Cruel.
Positive.
B. Tolerant.
C. Strict.
D.
35. From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ________.
A. the skill to throw and catch things
B. the speed of one’s hand movement
C. the strength and skill to hang and sway
D. the bodily skill to rotate round a bar
36. When the child looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths
open because ________.
A. they felt sorry for what they had done before
B. they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurt
C. they wanted to see what the author would do on the bars
D. they were astonished to find the author’s progress
37. The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is ________.
A. the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weep
B. the child’s experience reminded Mom of that of her own
C. Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraph
