Question

Having lived in the house for so long, we found our kitchen looked old. We decided it was time to1the kitchen, and my husband and I were discussing2colors. The children, sitting nearby, suddenly all spoke together: “Not the measuring stick.”
“No,” I3them. “Not the measuring stick..”
The measuring stick isn’t a (an)4stick but the kitchen side of the door between our kitchen and dining room. Along the edge we’ve5each child’s growth by making a mark showing his or her6on every birthday. Over the years so many colored pens, pencils and markers have been used, that now, this white door is somewhat like an abstract painting.
Names and dates show different7, and I can tell by the script(手跡) who measured whom. An eight-year-old measured her three-year-old sister, a grandchild measured her grandmother, my husband measured me. At the parties, when this door8back and forth frequently, friends stop to9the names and dates. When we ask if they would like to be always remembered, they usually smile10and go back right up into place,11to be measured.
Many of those listed on the door are still12; some have stopped. Some remain with us only in13. When my mother came to see my eldest daughter graduate from university, we measured her too. It was her last visit to our home.
We haven’t14the new kitchen color plan yet, but one thing is certain: whatever color we choose, the back of the kitchen door will always remain15, with lots of names and dates in various colors.

文章講述了我家在準備粉刷廚房的時候，是否要粉刷the measuring stick所引發(fā)的回憶和思考。
1.D 動詞辨析。根據(jù)上下文可知廚房舊了，準備重新粉刷。故D正確。
2.B 形容詞辨析。我們在討論可能用來粉刷的顏色。
3.A 動詞辨析。A允諾；B重復(fù)；C采納；D回應(yīng)（與to連用）；這里是指我答應(yīng)他們不刷the measuring stick.
4.C 形容詞辨析。A錯誤的；B棒的；C實際上；D明顯的；這里是指the measuring stick實際上不是stick，只是他們用來量身高的廚房的門的一邊。
5.C 動詞辨析。在這堵墻上記錄了每個孩子的成長。在每年生日的時候都記錄他們的身高。
6.D 上下文串聯(lián)。解析同上。
7.B 名詞辨析。A信息；B筆跡；C風(fēng)格；D性格特點；不同的筆跡記錄了墻上的姓名和日期。
8.D 動詞辨析。Swing擺動；這里指門前后擺動。
9.B 動詞辨析。指門前后擺動，朋友們不再看墻上的字跡了。
10.C 副詞辨析。上文詢問：你們是否愿意被永遠地記��？這里是指讓他們也去測一下身高。他們不好意思地走過去，準備進行測量。
11.A 形容詞辨析。Ready準備。解析同上。
12.A 動詞辨析。A成長；B貢獻；C學(xué)習(xí)；D工作；這里是指很多在這里測量過身高的人還在長高，還在成長。有些人已經(jīng)不長了，有些人只在我們的記憶中（去世了）。
13.D 名詞辨析。A視力；B設(shè)計；C驚訝；D記憶。解析同上。
14.C 短語辨析。A擔(dān)憂；B同意，贊成；C決定；D依賴。是指我們還沒有決定用何種顏色來粉刷墻壁。
15.C 上下文串聯(lián)。根據(jù)第三段倒數(shù)第2行this white door可知C正確。
