第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡

上将该项涂黑。

A

I never forget my mother is a strong woman. She came to America when she was 12 - old

enough to remember her language. She achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted

to Duke University. With a degree in computer science, she finally became the manager of a

company in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches, saying "wolves" correctly.

It was my mother who always stressed the importance of  language .From the time l was

born,1 was read to.1 would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents' voices, whether it was my

dad's softly accented, or my mother's clear English.  The flow of language was unbroken, and

whether in Chinese or English, the stream of communication flowed through our house.

One October morning in the sixth grade, after my mother had left to catch the train to the

city ,I left the house for the bus stop.1 was surprised when I saw our car, the door hanging

open. As I drew closer, I saw my mother lying on the ground.

In the hospital, it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my  mom.  My

mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colors ,it became clear that the

stroke(中风) had created a wall between my mother's mind and mouth; her mind was not any

less clear, but the words she said were not what she meant.           .                     .'

The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language.  Without it, identity

does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be

given, and knowing anything about anyone is impossible. Without language, communication

cannot take place.  Without language, one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness

of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.     .

21.What can we know from the second paragraph?

A. The author was taught to read since she was born.  .

B. The author's father spoke English well.

C. The author couldn't fall asleep without being read to.

D. The author's parents taught her language  by talking  a lot.
