Question

5．I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it．Mother sat writing letters．Standing by her chair，looking at the ink bottle，pens，and white paper，I decided that the action of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world．
  Years later，during her final illness．Mother kept different things for my sister and brother．"But the desk，"she said again，"is for Elizabeth．"
  I never saw her angry，and never saw her cry．I knew she loved me； she just did it．But as a young girl，I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter．They never happened．And a gulf opened between us．I was"too emotional（易感动的）"．But she lived"on the surface （表面）"．
  As years passed，I had my own family．I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family．I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅） me．
  My hope turned to disappointment，then little interest and，finally，peace-it seemed that nothing happened．I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother．I only knew that I had written it，and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not．
  But the present of her desk told me，as she'd never been able to，that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work．I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter，folded and refolded many times．It was my letter．
"In any way you chose，Mother，you always chose the act that speaks louder than words．"

分析 【文章大意】这篇文章主要讲的是我和妈妈之间"行胜于言"的故事．我很喜欢妈妈的书桌，受妈妈的影响，我也觉得写作是世界上一件最美好的事情．若干年之后，在妈妈患病期间，她给每个人都留了不同的东西，把书桌留给了我．于是，我想跟妈妈来一场女儿和妈妈之间的促膝谈心，但是一直也没谈成．等有我有了自己的家庭后，我给妈妈写了一封信，请求她不论以什么方式，也要让我知道她原谅了我，可是这也是石沉大海，没得到任何回复．后来，我在书桌上发现了反复折叠很多次的一封信，那是我的．信上写道"妈妈，你可以选择任何方法，但是你总是选择行胜于言．"

解答 54．答案为C．细节理解题．根据文中"I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it"，我们可以得知，从"我"长得足够高能够坐在桌子的最上面时，"我"就喜欢妈妈的书桌，所以说明当我还是个孩子的时候，我就喜欢那个书桌．答案为C．
55．答案为B．词义理解题．根据"They never happened．And a  gulf opened between us．I was‘too emotional'，But she lived‘on the surface'"，我们可以得知gulf的意思体现在后面，我变得更多情善感，而妈妈活在表面，所以gulf应该是指的是我和妈妈之间形成的不同想法，故答案为B．
56．答案为D．细节理解题．根据文中"I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter，folded and refolded many times．It was my letter"，我们知道作者可以看出这封信反复打开好多次，所以这说明妈妈看了很多次，已经原谅了作者．所以答案为D．
57．答案为A．文章拟题．根据全文，我们可以看出，妈妈的书桌一直是叙述的中心，"我"和妈妈之间的情感起伏也是跟这桌子有关，这张桌子也寄托妈妈对"我"的期望，"我"最后也在这张桌子上发现了"我"写给妈妈的信，所以文章的中心还是这张书桌．故答案为A．
