Question

Love Is Just a Thread

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy trying to earn money in order to pay the  ?　36　? tuition for my brother and me. They don't ?　37　? in the romantic ways that I read in books or  I see on TV. My father has a bad temper; it's easy for him to lose his temper.?

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I ?　38　? sat down beside her and looked at her.

“Is there any ?　39　? between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.

My mother stopped her work and raised her head with ?　40　? in her eyes. She didn't answer immediately. Then she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.

?　41　? at last I heard my mother say the following words:?

“Susan,” she said ?　42　?.“Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable(耐用的).If life is a

?　43　?,then love should be a thread. It can ?　44　? be seen anywhere or ?anytime, but it's really there. Love is ?　45　?.”?

I listened carefully but I couldn't understand her until the next ?　46　?.At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. After they were ?　47　?,every day in the morning and dusk(黃昏),my mother helped my father walk ?　48　? on the country road. My father had never been so ?　49　?.Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these ?　50　? the most beautiful picture in the world. The doctor had said my father would ?　51　? in two months. But after two months he still couldn't walk alone. We were all worried.?

“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.?

“Susan,”he said gently.“To tell you the truth, I just like ?　52　? with your mom. I like this kind of life.” ?　53　? from his eyes, I knew he loved my mother deeply.

Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this ?　54　?,I understand that love is just a ?　55　? in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

解析:

36.D　根據(jù)該句句意及全文情景可知，父母忙于工作，為了掙錢付“我”和弟弟的高額學費。

37.C　在生活中父母的舉止行為沒有一點像“我”在書本、電視上看到的浪漫的樣子。?

38.A　根據(jù)下文情景，作者默不作聲地坐在媽媽的身邊，看著媽媽做縫紉。?

39.B　文章首句以及下文媽媽的回答已有?暗示?。?

40.A　聽到兒子的問話，母親感到十分吃驚。?

41.B　此處為轉折意義。但最后“我”還是聽到母親說了下面的話。?

42.D　從下文母親所說的這段話語可知，母親是經(jīng)過“思慮”后才說出的這段話語。?

43.C　推斷母親的話可知，生活就像一條被子，愛就像一根線。?

44.A　在生活中，我們不能隨時隨地看到愛，但它確實就在生活中。?

45.B　根據(jù)母親“愛與生活”的比喻可知，愛就在生活中。此處inside指“在生活中”。?

46.D　根據(jù)下文“Along the country road, there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leave.”可知，“那時”應該是“第二年的春季”。?

47.B　從醫(yī)院回家以后。?

48.D　由于父親身體虛弱，母親扶著父親沿著鄉(xiāng)村小路慢慢地走。?

49.A　從文章第一段“父親容易發(fā)脾氣”可知，父親以前從來沒有如此溫和過。?

50.C　make up意為“組成、構成”。所有這一切組成了世界上最美的圖畫。?

51.B　醫(yī)生說父親兩個月后就能恢復到正常狀態(tài)，可他還是不能獨自走路。?

52.A　根據(jù)上文“母親每天扶著父親走，兩個月后父親裝著仍然不能獨自走路”可知，父親喜歡每天跟母親一起散步。?

53.D　reading from在此意為“從……可以?看出”?。?

54.C　通過父親生病這次經(jīng)歷，“我”明白了父母之間深厚的愛。?

55.A　根據(jù)上文所說的“愛和生活與線和被子”之間的關系，可以推斷出“愛就是生活中的一根線，愛就在其中，它使得生活穩(wěn)固、溫暖”。
