题目内容

【题目】My doorbell rings at 11 a.m. On the step, I find an elderly Chinese lady. She is small and slight. She holds a paper carrier bag in her hands.

I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October. Nicole, who is currently in Shanghai, has apparently told her mother that I am having heart surgery shortly, and the result is that her mother has decided I need to be supplied with meals.

I know what is inside the paper carrier bag — a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp. This has become an almost-daily occurrence.

Communication between my benefactor (恩人)and me is somewhat handicapped by the fact that she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Mandarin is “hello”. Once, she brought an iPad and pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from Nicole telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right.

“Your mother just can’t be bringing me meals like this all the time” I protested. “I can hardly reciprocate by cooking something from my native land, like roast beef or Yorkshire pudding for her” I said.

“Oh，no,” Nicole said. “Don’t worry about that. She has to cook for the family anyway, and she wants to do it for you. You can call her Wing, which is her surname.”

The tenant in my basement suite is a university student who speaks Mandarin quite well, so with her help, I have found out that Wing is 68—13 years younger than I am — and that she lived through the Cultural Revolution. For my part, I was raised in wartime Britain.

So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the other’s language. But the doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar paper earner bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing.

Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it’s the least I can do after such a display of kindness.

“Thank you” is, of course，the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.

【1】The author and Wing got to know each other .

A. as next door neighbors

B. when exchanging meals

C. by sharing similar experiences

D. after using an iPad to communicate

【2】The underlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 5 probably means .

A. do as well B. offer generously

C. give in return D. accept with pleasure

【3】The author’s effort to learn Mandarin shows her .

A. great satisfaction B. real kindness

C. heartfelt thanks D. sincere friendship

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】C

【解析】本文讲述的是中国奶奶在温哥华每天给生病的邻居送饭，把加拿大邻居感动坏了。

【1】A推理判断题。根据第二段 I know this lady. It is by no means her first visit. Her daughter, Nicole, bought the house next door last October.可知，作者和Wing是作为隔壁的邻居互相认识的。故选A。

【2】C词义猜测题。根据上文：你的妈妈为我做饭。划线词所在的句子意思是“我几乎不能为你的妈妈做我的家乡菜。”也就是说：不能回报你的妈妈。故划线词的意思是“酬谢，回报”，故选C。

【3】C推理判断题。根据最后两段Right now I am working on some more Mandarin words—it's the least I can do after such a display of kindness. "Thank you" is, of course, the first one, which somehow seems inadequate.可知，作者努力学Mandarin是为了展示她由衷地感谢。故选C。

【题目】For the Travel section，writers and editors selected special items to profile from a dozen cities.

Brussels：Chocolate

Nearly half the chocolate consumed in the world is eaten in Europe，and Belgium—with average consumption of 14.99 pounds per person a year—certainly covers its fair share.While Brussels，the country’s capital，is home to hundreds of chocolate makers，what makes a visit necessary is the rich heritage of traditional chocolate makers.

Budapest：Paprika(红辣椒)

The job of preparing Hungarian paprika was once considered too dangerous for mothers to do.A woman who touched her children upon returning from work risked burning them，so only the elderly and unmarried were allowed the delicate task of separating the skin from the flesh.But by the early 20th century，sweeter varieties and a machine turned paprika into a common feature of all Hungarian cuisine.

Lisbon：Tiles(瓷砖)

Is there a bluer country than Portugal？The blue sky and Atlantic Ocean embrace the land.The blue moods of Fado，the dark folk music，form the national soundtrack.And all across Portugal，the typically blue designs of azulejos—ceramic tiles—are spread across churches，castles，palaces，university halls，parks...The result is a beautiful land of Christian saints，Portuguese kings，historical glories，aristocrats(贵族) at leisure，seascapes and so on.

Madrid：Guitars

Walking into one of Madrid’s storied guitar makers’ workshops can feel like stepping into the past.Curly wood shavings，from the palest pine to ebony，fall onto the floor as artisans(工匠) turn some humble wood into works of art.It’s painstaking work—all done by hand—with classical guitar models and the methods of making them changing little over the last century.

【1】What does the job of preparing Hungarian paprika suggest?

A. The popularity of Hungarian peppers.

B. The difficulty of processing peppers.

C. The unique tradition in Budapest.

D. The hot level of Hungarian peppers.

【2】Which city can be a splendid setting for a film?

A. Brussels. B. Budapest.

C. Lisbon. D. Madrid.
