4．For as early as I could remember，my mother had been a bright，cheerful woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her．However，in the last fifteen years of her life，she had to live with senile dementia （老年痴呆）．I would go to my home to pay her a visit in California and she would curiously look at me and then ask，"Who are you？"I would answer，"I'm your own son，of course．""Where do you live？"She would ask．"In Virginia"，I would tell her．"Isn't that interesting，"she would say，"I have a son in Virginia．"
Mother seemed only forgetful as well as confused at the beginning of that disease，but sometime later she would go through different time of intense anxiety．She would keep walking through the house she used to live in most of her life crying uneasily that she would like to go home．Or sometimes she left home and wandered away if she were unattended（无人照看） for a short time．
Hoping to make her happy and put her mind at ease I would take her in my car，visiting sites where she used to live when she was a child．In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn．I pictured my mother that there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of．I looked to her for some response．She shook her head and said，"I want to go home．"
Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a place，but a time．I think it was a time when she was much younger，when her children were still underfoot，when her husband was still energetic and attentive．
Watching my mother's suffering set me wondering where I would have in mind if someday I couldn't find home and wanted to go there．In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy （糊涂的） minded as the years go by．At eighty I have already noticed some alarming symptoms（症状）．My doctor says the forgetfulness is only natural and that it comes with age．Still the fear of senile dementia is haunting there．Someday if and when I become even more cloudy minded than I am now，unable to drive and unable to tell you where"home"is，my dear son，I expect I will ask you to take me home，I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be．I leave these notes for your guidance．
21．Which of the following is NOT the symptom of the mother of the author？C
A．forgetful            B．confused             C．cheerful            D．uneasy
22．What's the meaning of the underlined word"picture"？B
A．摄影                   B．描绘                    C．出现                  D．绘画
23．What can you infer from the third paragraph？A
A．The author cared much about his mother．
B．The mother of the author liked pet lambs very much．
C．The author found a very little girl who was playing with a pet lamb．
D．The mother of the author did not like her usual home．
24．What's the best title of the passage？D
A．Where Is Home？
B．A story about a son and a mother．
C．Everyone will suffer with senile dementia．
D．Take Mother Home．

分析 文章作者讲述自己母亲年老患有老年痴呆症，作者非常担心母亲的状况，把她接回家照顾．

解答 21．C，细节理解题，根据句子Mother seemed only forgetful as well as confused at the beginning of that disease，but sometime later she would go through different time of intense anxiety可知，母亲得了老年痴呆症后健忘，感到疑惑和心神不安，因此没有C选项这个症状．
22．B，词义推测题．根据后一句话I looked toher for some response．She shook her head and said，"I want to go home．"可以推测出此处picture为"描述、描绘"．故B正确．
23．A，推理判断题．根据文章第三段Hoping to make her happy and put her mind at ease I would take her in my car，visiting sites where she used to live when she was a child可知，作者非常担心母亲的状况，一直在照顾自己的母亲．故A正确．
24．D，标题归纳题，文章作者讲述自己母亲年老患有老年痴呆症，作者非常担心母亲的状况，把她接回家照顾．故D正确．

点评 解答任务型阅读理解题，首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意．因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料．其次，细读题材，各个击破．掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息．最后，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性．对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准．

13．One of the school days that I remember is my first day of school．Being a first grader seemed exciting to me then，and I was really happy．I was to study in an all？girls school．My mother took me to the front door of the classroom and left．I didn't mind because I didn't want to appear too childish．
The classroom fitted about forty students with still some room to spare．We sat in groups，six tables per group．I chose a seat and sat there while waiting for other girls to arrive．It didn't take that long and the other tables were soon full．There wasn't much chatting going on，and it seemed my classmates were very shy．After all，it was a truly new environment for us．The girls in my group were also shy and most of them were looking down．Finally，a girl sitting in front of me broke the silence-she introduced herself as Amanda．She then burst_out speaking about her family．The four other girls paid attention to what she said with an occasional（偶尔的）nod sometimes．
I lost what she said a few minutes after that．The next thing I know was that she was already talking about her cat．"Do you know its name？"she asked me．I was in little surprised at the sudden question．I thought about it for a while，and then finally answered．"I don't know．It could be anything．"The question was repeated to the other girls but with the same result．Amanda smiled proudly，happy that nobody could guess her cat's name．
"Its name is Coco，a female（雌性） cat．Oh，I almost forget-what are your names？"

14．A few years ago I had an"aha!"moment regarding handwriting．
I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task．It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting，and then I realized whose it must be．I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point．
It was a very important event in the computerization of life-a sign that the informal，friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails．There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognized one another's handwriting the way we knew voices or faces．
As a child visiting my father's office，I was pleased to recognize，in little notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge-except that those notes were signed"dad"instead of"RFW"．
All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting，a book by Florey．She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age can't be expected to learn to hold a pen．
I don't buy it．
I don't want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does．For many a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting．
What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th-century Italy．That may sound impossibly grand-as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings．However，they have worked in many school systems．

33．Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague's handwriting？A
A．He had worked with his colleague long enough．
B．His colleague's handwriting was so beautiful．
C．His colleague's handwriting was so terrible．
D．He still had a 1ot of work to do．
34．The author's father wrote notes in penA．
A．to both his family and his staff
B．to his family in small letters
C．to his family on the fridge
D．to his staff on the desk
35．According to the author，handwritten notesC．
A．are harder to teach in schools
B．attract more attention
C．are used only between friends
D．carry more message．
