(2007年普通高等学校夏季招生考试英语(辽宁卷))D

All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all things clean and tidy.

You could turn your back for a moment in my mother's house, leave a half written letter on the dining room table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had "put it back where it belonged." as she explained.

My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother's house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused(疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks, so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.

These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有......的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find the every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. "Do you remember what I was doing?" was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.

Now my sister has developed a second-hand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.

68. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?

A. She enjoyed removing others' drinks.             B. She became more and more forgetful.

C. She preferred to do everything by herself.      D. She wanted to keep her house in good order.

69. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother's house because _______.

A. she had already finished them                        B. my mother had taken them away

C. she forgot where she had left them                 D. someone in my family was holding them

70. The underlined part to the fifth paragraph suggests that my sister _______.

A. is happy to clean windows                                   B. loves to clean used windows

C. is fond of clean used windows                       D. likes clean windows as my mother did

71. This passage mainly tells us that _______.

A. my mother often made us confused                B. my family members had a poor memory

C. my mother helped us to form a good habit     

D. my wife was surprised when she visited my mother

There is an old Chinese tale about a woman whose only son died. Sadly, she went to the holy man and asked, “What magical things do you have to bring my son back to life?”
Instead of sending her away or reasoning with her, he said to her, “Fetch me a mustard (芥菜) seed from a home that has never known sadness. We will use it to drive the sadness out of your life.” The woman happily went off at once in search of that magical mustard seed.
She first came to a splendid house, knocked at the door and said, “I am looking for a home that has never known sadness. Is it such a place? It is very important to me.”
They told her “You’ve certainly come to the wrong place” and began to describe all the tragic things that had happened to them recently.
