I’ve never been the kind of person to say, “it’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present thatblew me away.
For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building.
In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s name and the date they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see. Over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.

So one day, while I was at work, my childrendecided to do something about it.
They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉 the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns (舞会礼服.
She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (手印, and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.
Three weeks later, my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me—a life-size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.
8. The underlined phrase in Para. I “blew me away” probably means “________”. A. attracted me B. surprised me C. accepted me D. refused me 9. What does the house really mean to the author? A. A house. B. Buildings. C. An object. D. Memories. 10. What surprised the friends I know after work? A. Finding the wall repainted. B. Erasing the fingerprints. C. Greeting them by tears. D. Leaving the wall unfinished. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Gift Made with Love B. Buildings Made by Children C. A Very Wonderful Painting D. A Family History
D
I cried the first time I saw the Notre Dame(巴黎圣母院)years ago. I'd waited my entire life to see this great French architecture, and experienced it in its full glory on a bright sunny day. Last night, I again cried for the centuries-old church while watching it burn.
I hadn't expected to spend my evening that way. My friend and I were having dinner at a cafe a block or so
away from the Notre Dame, choosing to skip going inside with the intention to go back the next day.
However, we heard that it caught fire, so we left the cafe and ran towards the church, following heavy smoke from it, and soon we joined a nearly silent crowd. Some were praying, some were crying, but most were staring in disbelief at the disaster happening before us. The fire continued to get worse. About 400 firefighters were working to control the fire. We could see their flashlights shining as they inspected the front from a balcony.
The Notre Dame is part of the heartbeat ofParis, I reflected on the experiences I've had there, from attending a bread market out front to admiring the beautiful windows and architecture inside. It is a spot that helps makeParismagical. And here we were, watching it burn down. It was too much to handle, but it was impossible to look away.
About 930 pm, the gathered crowd spontaneously(自发地)began to sing Hymns(圣歌)to the church. We sang along with the group, feeling at once less like tourists and more like members of them. I hadn't imagined all that before.
For hundreds of years, the Notre Dame hasseen the most joyous and the most terrible moments in the lives of both France and her people. And when everyone was able to become one emotional force, it showed that even in her darkest hour, the Notre Dame was still there to bring us all together. 12. Why did the author cry for the Notre Dame for the first time?
A. She was touched by its greatness. B. She was sorrowful to watch it burn. C. She was regretful for missing its glory. D. She was excited about French cultures. 13. What was the author doing when the Notre Dame caught fire?
A. Heading for a faraway cafe. B. Visiting a church with a friend. C. Eating nearby with a friend. D. Wandering along the street alone. 14. What can we know about the fire scene? A. People expressed their sadness in different ways. B. People were nervously rushing in different directions. C. Hundreds of volunteers joined in putting out the fire. D. Firefighters kept people away with shining flashlights. 15. What impressed the author most?
A. The church allowed visitors to gaingreat experiences. B. Many foreign tourists became members of the church. C. The church survived disasters for hundreds of years.

D. People were brought together to sing to the church. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

52.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Growing up, I understood one thing about my dad: He knew everything. This was our relationship: I asked him questions and he told me the answers.
In my teen years, he taught me things I’d need to know to survive in the real world. When I moved out on my own, I called him usually when something broke into my apartment and I needed to know how to fix the toilet, the air-conditioner or the wall.
But then, eventually, I needed him less. For everything, I had Google. I don’t know when it happened, but when I called our conversations developed into six words. Me: “Hi, Dad”. Him: “Hi, sweets. Here’s Mom.” I loved my dad, of course, but I wondered at times if maybe he had already shared everything I needed to know.
Then, this past summer, I moved in with my parents for three weeks while my house was being repaired. They own a lake house, and Dad asked me to help him rebuild the bulkhead(隔板)at their dock(船坞).
“How do you know how to build a bulkhead?”
“I spent a summer in college building them on the Jersey shore.”
“You did?” I thought I knew everything about my dad. I knew about the summer at the manufacturing plant that burned his hands raw, and even the tiny little kitchen, where he learned how to make the best pancake. But I
never knew this.
“Yes. Now come up here and let me teach you how to use this circulars saw (圆锯.” All of a sudden, I realized that maybe it’s not that there’s nothing left to say. Maybe it’s just that I’ve spent my life asking him the wrong questions.
