17.When the one-year anniversary of my mother's passing came around,I found myself in the kitchen preparing some of her favorite dishes.As I poured myself into cooking,some of the deep sadness I was experiencing at this one-year mark moved through me.I loved my mom's turkey soup.I remembered the time she made some especially for me.It was summer then and I had a terrible head cold.She arrived unexpectedly one afternoon at my work place with a huge jar of her turkey noodle soup.At the thought,I began to feel a little more relieved in the pain of losing her.
It was then that I realized I was reconnecting with my mother through food.I laughed a bit at myself when I reflected on all the dishes I had cooked that week.Without knowing it,I had created a beautiful ceremony to honor my mother and to comfort myself at this vulnerable(脆弱的) time.I suddenly felt my mother at hand and was filled with her presence.I was so uplifted and excited that I began talking to her,imagining she was there.
"What else should we make?"I asked of us both,wanting to keep the ceremony from ending.
"Irish Potato Pancakes,"was the reply.
I hesitated.The thought of these brought up another loss.The last time I made potato pancakes was two and a half years ago.I had taken off my engagement (订婚) ring and never found it again.Since then,I resisted using that recipe even though I really liked those pancakes as if it were partly to blame.
My mom should know better than to suggest these,I thought.She knew how upset I was about losing my ring.But despite these hesitations,I found myself caught up in the joy and celebration of the moment,and I reached for the cookbook without another thought of the ring.My mom did love Irish things.I opened the cookbook and turned to the pancake recipe.At once,something at the bottom of the page caught my eye…It was shining!Amazingly,there,pressed into the pages of this book,was my diamond ring!
That day,I made potato pancakes in the shape of hearts.

解答 68.A 细节理解题.根据第一段"When the one-year anniversary of my mother's passing came around,I found myself in the kitchen preparing some of her favorite dishes."可知作者在她母亲一周年忌日的时候准备做一些菜来缅怀她的母亲,故选A.
69.D 细节理解题.根据第六段"The last time I made potato pancakes was two and a half years ago.I had taken off my engagement (订婚) ring and never found it again."可知作者早两年半前的一次做土豆煎饼中将订婚戒指遗失然后再也没找回来.所以作者现在在做土豆煎饼的时候犹豫了因为这在提醒她将戒指遗失的伤心往事,故选D.
70.A 推理判断题.根据第三段"It was then that I realized I was reconnecting with my mother through food."可知作者通过食物和她母亲有了联系,故选A.
71.A 标题判断题.Heart-shaped Pancakes心形煎饼,Lost and Found Ring丢失又找到的戒指,Favorite Dishes最喜欢的菜,Sad One-year Anniversary悲伤的一周年纪念日.文章所讲述的内容是作者通过做母亲生前最爱的煎饼来缅怀母亲,结果找到了丢失了的订婚戒指的故事.如果用"Lost and Found Ring丢失又找到的戒指"做标题,体现不出作者对于母亲的缅怀之情,比较片面,可排除B;如果用"Favorite Dishes最喜欢的菜"做标题,标题比较宽泛,不具体,没有体现出通过给母亲做喜爱的煎饼时,找到订婚戒指这件事情,可排除C;文章中没有具体描述作者在妈妈去世一周年时多么的悲伤这件事,故"Sad One-year Anniversary悲伤的一周年纪念日"做标题也不正确,排除D.用"Heart-shaped Pancakes心形煎饼"做标题,既可以体现出妈妈最喜欢的是煎饼,也可以体现出对妈妈的深情厚爱,故答案选A.
