Question

In Glasgow, , a young lady, like a lot of teens today, got tired of home. The daughter objected to her family’s lifestyle and said, “I don’t want your God. I am leaving !”

She left home. Before long, she was disappointed and unable to find a job, so she took to the streets to do everything she could to money. Many years passed by, her father died , her mother grew , and the daughter became more and more entrenched (固執(zhí)) in her way of life.

No contact was made between mother and daughter during these years. The mother, having her daughter’s whereabouts, went to the poor part of the city in of her daughter . She stopped at each of the rescue missions with a simple . “Would you allow me to this picture?” It was a picture of the smiling, gray-haired mother with a handwritten at the bottom : “I love you still…come home!”

One day the daughter wandered into a rescue mission for a hot meal. She sat listening to the service, all the while letting her wander over to the bulletin board. There she saw the picture and thought, could that be my mother?

She couldn’t until the service was over. She stood and went to look .It was her mother , and there were those words, “I love you still…come home !” she stood in front of the picture, she wept. It was too to be true.

It was night, but she was so by the message that she started walking home. the time she arrived it was early in the morning. She was afraid and her way timidly. As she knocked, the door open on its own. She thought someone must have broken into the house. Concerned for her mother’s , the young woman ran to the bedroom and shook her mother awake and said, “It’s me ! It’s me ! I’m home!”

The mother couldn’t believe her eyes. They fell into each other’s arms. The daughter said , “I was so worried and someone had broken in.” The mother replied gently, “No, dear . From the day you left, that door has never been .”

4.短語辨析。A. told about談?wù)摚?B. heard of 聽說； C. learned from 向某人學(xué)習(xí)；D. informed of通知，告知。從上文提到女兒杳無音訊，下文講母親去女兒住的地方，由此判斷是老人聽說了女兒的住所，而如果用inform of，則應(yīng)該是被動形式，選B。

5.A. sight 情景，視力；B. charge 掌管，負(fù)責(zé)，費(fèi)用；C. search 尋找； D .want需要。母親是去女兒的住所尋找女兒，in search of “尋找”，in charge of “掌管，負(fù)責(zé)”in want of“需要”，根據(jù)語境選C。

6.A .request要求，請求； B. remark 評論；C. question 問題；D. speech言論，演講。根據(jù)空后內(nèi)容“Would you allow me to …..this picture可以判斷母親請求要在救濟(jì)所貼上自己的照片，為了讓女兒看到，選A。

7.A. bring up 撫養(yǎng)長大；B. lay off暫時(shí)解雇 ； C. drop out離開，退出 ；D .put up張貼。從上文內(nèi)容可知母親為了尋找女兒而到處貼上自己的照片，寫上召喚女兒回家的話，希望女兒看到后回到她的身邊，選D。

17.A. seemed 似乎；B .blew 吹；C. proved 證明，證實(shí)；D. flew飛。從句中on its own以及下文可知在她離家后母親從來沒有鎖過門，可知門應(yīng)該是一下子就開了，fly可以指“動作的迅速”，而用blow的話需用被動形式，選D。

18..名詞辨析。A .safety 安全；B. anxiety 焦慮； C .danger 危險(xiǎn)；D .relief釋放，救濟(jì)。從前句She thought someone must have broken into the house.可知她是怕家里進(jìn)賊了，是擔(dān)心母親安全，選A。
