My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and  41  those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again  42  at the pier(码头)waving good-bye to my father as his  43  pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and I around before the ship was out of  44  , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of  45  in the new environment again.

Throughout the years of changing  46  , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood—my mother. For both my   47  and I, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while  48  some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the  49  which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so.  50  she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother  51  managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and  52  .

This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,  53  with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to  54  a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this  55  into adventure for us all! Each relocation was a chance to  56  another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a  57  to rearrange furniture, make curtains and  58  pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.

No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a  59  attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so  60  all those years of my childhood—she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

阅读下列材料, 并从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E、F)中选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

The people below traveled abroad. Read the following stories and decide what problem each traveler experienced while traveling.

1._______ David got lost in an isolated place. To make matter worse, he had an accident and couldn’t walk freely. So he was in great need of timely help.

2.______ Paul had to buy a hamburger and ate it in the park instead of eating his mother’s delicious chicken, with which he couldn’t go through the customs(海关).

3._____ Ann was stopped at the customs because she was carrying drugs without a doctor’s prescription. How regretted she was not to have done that!

4._____ Sally offended some of the people in the town she was visiting by wearing inappropriate clothes. She should have found out about local customs and followed them.

5.______ Jack didn’t obtain a transit card when he changed planes at an airport, which made him very worried. There was no doubt that he was not allowed to get on board.

 

A  My mother was worried about me. She cooked me all my favorite dishes and put them into a box to take with me on my journey. But the customs officer inspected all the plant and animal products at the airport. Unfortunately it was illegal for me to bring into the country the kind of food my mother had given me and so it all had to be thrown away.

B  It was very hot so I put on some shorts and a T-shirt to go sightseeing. I hadn’t gone very far when I found everyone was looking at me, and they didn’t seem friendly to me. One woman even spat on me as I walked past. I decided to get off the crowded streets and so I turned down a small, quiet street.

C  During the four-day walking tour, I was amazed by mountain scenery and the ancient ruins we passed on our hike. On the last day, we arrived at the ruins of Machu Picchu in time to see the sunrise over the Andes. I spent the day visiting the ruins of that ancient Inca city before catching the train back to the capital city of the country.

D  When I got off the plane at the first airport, I saw someone handing out cards to some of the passengers, but I didn’t know what they were for, so I didn’t take one. When I tried to board the second plane they asked for my transit card, which I didn’t have. I was worried they were going to send me back to London.

E  I had been walking for about an hour when suddenly I slipped and fell down a riverbank. I hurt my ankle and couldn’t stand up. I didn’t know how I could get back to the village. I hadn’t told anyone where I was going, so no one would know where to look for me when they realized I was missing.

F  When I arrived at my destination, a customs officer at the airport looked in my bag and found the pills in a small box. He wanted to know what the pills were for and why they weren’t in their proper bottle with my name and the doctor’s name on it. I explained that the bottle had been too big and heavy. Then he wanted to know if I had a letter from my doctor explaining about the pills.
