1.I moved from Chicago to Brooklyn in July of 2010,just in time to watch my mother die.Our parents were both gone now; I took with me as many things they had left behind as I could.
I was out walking one Saturday later that summer when something caught my eye-a pale green dress.Laid out on the pavement was stuff like earrings,glass candle-holders,books.Hanging on the fence behind were a few pairs of jeans and a green cotton dress.
The woman,the host of the stoop (門廊)sale,looked like she was getting rid of a past she didn't need or want.A dress that was too big for her.A chest of drawers that took up too much space,space she needed,maybe,to heal,recover,or grow.
I wasn't planning on buying anything really,but now I needed to show her that I appreciated her things and I would give them a safe home.Then I had my first stoop sale-I paid her 20dollars for her green cotton dress and her blue candle-holder.
From that day on,I became interested in stoop sales.Some of my favorite things are from someone else's life.I find no joy in shopping at regular stores any more.I love trying to sniff out a memory from a bud vase or a drawer.It is comforting to know that someone has breathed and laughed inside a sweater before me.
A few weeks ago,I carried my mother's dresses to a friend's stoop.These were her best items,which were once worn by the most important person in my life.For many hours,I watched from across the path people advancing the stoop,some leaving with Mom1S dress.I used to think that her stuff was as forever sacred (神圣的)as my memory of her,I know now that once I love a scarf or shirt too dearly,it needs to find a new home.Even that green dress is long gone by now.

分析 本文所以記敘文閱讀,主要講述了在母親去世后,作者開始愛上了逛舊貨市場.她喜歡在舊物品中探尋它們主人曾經(jīng)的故事.出售母親的就物品時,希望這些物品以前見證過的歡笑或是感動就能得以延續(xù),這是對母親另類的懷念.
解答 31.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題:根據(jù)最后一段"These were her best items,which were once worn by the most important person in my life."可知這些衣服是母親最好的東西,曾經(jīng)是我生命中最重要的人穿的,因此作者在她死后帶走了她的衣服.故選A.
32.B 推理判斷題:根據(jù)第五段"Some of my favorite things are from someone else's life"可知我最喜歡的東西中有一些來自別人的生活中,由此可知別人用過的東西是有故事的,會引人想象的.故選B.
33.D 推理判斷題:根據(jù)最后一段I used to think that her stuff was as forever sacred (神圣的)as my memory of her,I know now that once I love a scarf or shirt too dearly,it needs to find a new home.Even that green dress is long gone by now.可知作者曾經(jīng)認(rèn)為還念母親最好的方法就是保存好母親的物品,現(xiàn)在她認(rèn)為給母親的遺物找到新家會更有意義.故選D.
34.B 推理判斷題:通讀全文可知作者喜歡在舊物市場購物,喜歡想象物品背后主人的故事.出售母親的就物品時,希望這些物品以前見證過的歡笑或是感動就能得以延續(xù),這是另類對母親的還念.故選B.
點評 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
