2．I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters.Standing by her chair，looking at the ink bottle，pens and white paper，I decided that the act of writing must be the 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，never saw her cry.I knew she loved me；she showed it in action.But as a young girl，I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened.And a gulf opened between us.I was "too emotional（易動感情的）".But she lived "on the surface".
As years passed and 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 me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer，none came.
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.
Now the present of her desk told me that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work though she'd never been able to.I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside - a photo of my father and a one-page letter，folded（折疊） and refolded many times.
Give me an answer，my letter asks，in any way you choose，Mother，you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
（1）The writer began to love her mother's desk.
A．a(chǎn)fter Mother died
B．before she became a writer
C．when she was a child
D．when mother gave it to her
（2）The passage shows that.
A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B．Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
C．Mother cared much about her daughter in words
D．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
（3）The world "gulf" in the passage means.
A．deep understanding between the old and the young.
B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter.
C．free talks between mother and daughter.
D．part of the sea going far in land.
（4）What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness？
A．She had never received the letter.
B．For years，she often talked about the letter.
C．She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D．She read the letter again and again till she died.組卷：11引用：1難度：0.6 -
3．Zika virus.Malaria.West Nile virus.Dengue fever.Have you ever heard of these illnesses？If so，you likely know what they all have in common.These are a few of the diseases spread by one of the greatest pests known to humankind一the mosquito.
Much of the time，mosquito bites are just itchy.Nothing ruins a backyard barbecue faster than a mass of these bloodsucking insects.However，some mosquitoes carry viruses that cause deadly illnesses.In fact，some experts say mosquitoes are a bigger threat to human life than any other organism.
Over the centuries，mosquitoes are thought to have caused the deaths of 52 billion people.That's half the people who have ever lived on Earth!Even today，illnesses spread by mosquitoes kill more people each year than war does.
It should be no surprise that many people would like to get rid of mosquitoes.What if we could wipe out the entire mosquito population？No more malaria.No more Zika.No more itchy bumps after a summer day spent outdoors.Doesn't that sound great？
Not so fast.Sure，some species of mosquitoes harm humans.But others don't pose any threat at al!In fact，some of these mosquitoes play important parts in their ecosystems.Let's look at a few ways.
Many of our Wonder Friends already know that bees play an important part in pollination（授粉）.It turns out，mosquitoes do，too!Most mosquitoes actually drink nectar（花蜜） instead of blood.When they do so，they help pollinate the plants they feed on.
It's also important to remember that even mosquitoes are part of an ecosystem.Without them，the food chain would be disturbed.
Adult mosquitoes are a food source for bats，birds，spiders，and small mammals.Without them，these animals would need to find something else to eat.Some experts even think mosquitoes could be used to help humans.
（1）What do Zika virus，Malaria，West Nile virus，and Dengue fever have in common？
A．They are all pests from the wild forest.
B．They can not be cured by human beings.
C．They can all be spread by mosquitoes.
D．They are all caused by bacteria.
（2）What does the underlined phrase in the fourth paragraph mean？
A．Kill something completely.
B．Bring up in large numbers.
C．Control something completely.
D．Rely on something completely.
（3）What is the author's attitude towards mosquitoes？
A．Positive.
B．Negative.
C．Critical.
D．Objective.
（4）What may the author continue to write about in the following？
A．How mosquitoes are harmful to human beings.

Early in the morning I went to the ocean beach to play my guitar.The usually crowded beach was deserted except for two people.On one side of the boardwalk （木板人行道）was a woman who was cleaning the beach with a broom；on the other side was a lone figure sitting and staring to sea.I chose a spot between them and began to play.
As I played，the woman with the broom swept her way right next to me.She stopped sweeping and leaned on her broom，smiling at me.She appeared to be homeless with dirty mismatched clothes.
"You sure play beautiful music." she said. "I think my friend would like you music.I want to hire you to play for her." She pointed to the lone figure staring out at the ocean，then produced a few coins from her pocket. "I don't have much，and I know you're worth a lot，but if I give this to you，will you play a song for her？She's going through a lot.I know the music will make her feel better."
I told her I'd be happy to play for free.
As we walked over to her friend，the Broom Lady told me that her friend had not talked for jye.aieks.We approached，and the Broom Lady introduced me， "Annie，I got you a present to cheer you up.It's a guitar man who is going to play a song specially for you."
Annie didn't move.She was wearing dark sunglasses and had an old coat pulled up to cover most of her face.
I sat next to Annie and played.As I played I put every thought into having good things happen for this woman.I played for quite a while.
Suddenly，Annie turned toward me and said， "You make it so beautiful.I can feel it inside my heart."
