Question

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it. Mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a 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 said again, “ is for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But as a young girl, I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易動(dòng)感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.
As years passed and 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 me.
My hope turned to disappointment, 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.
But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折疊) and refolded many times. It was my letter.
“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”

試題分析：本文主要講了作者從小就喜歡母親的書桌，她和母親之間從未心與心的交談，因此她們之間有代溝。作者成年后，給母親寫信希望她原諒她，但一直沒有收到回信，母親在最后時(shí)刻把書桌留給了作者，作者深刻地感受到母親表面上很冷酷，實(shí)際上內(nèi)心很體貼自己的女兒。
小題1:推理判斷題。根據(jù)I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside – a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter. “In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”從這些細(xì)節(jié)可以看出我的母親表面上很冷酷，實(shí)際上內(nèi)心很體貼自己的女兒。故選A。
小題2:語義猜測題。根據(jù)文中描述，作者和媽媽從未心與心的談話，她們之間出現(xiàn)了分歧，所以此題選B。
小題3:標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，媽媽的書桌是貫穿全文的一條線索，所以文章最好的題目是媽媽的書桌，可知答案為C。
