Mom was staying with us during the holidays. On Christmas Eve I stayed up very late. I was totally alone with my thoughts, alternating between joy and sorrow, and I got to thinking about my paper route(送报历程), that tree, what my mother had said to me and how dad had tried to make things better.I heard a noise in the kitchen and discovered that it was mom. She couldnt sleep either and had gotten up to make herself a cup of hot tea which made her feel better. As she waited for the water to boil, she walked into the living room and discovered me there. She saw my open Bible and asked me what I was reading. When I told her, she asked if I would read it to her and I did.When the kettle began to whistle, she went and made her tea. She came back. I told her how happy I was that she was with us for Christmas and how I wished that dad could have lived to see his grandchildren and to enjoy this time because he always loved Christmas so much. It got very quiet for a moment and then she said，“Do you remember that time on Twelve Mile Road when you bought that tree with your paper route money？”“Yes，” I said，“Ive just been thinking about it you know.”She hesitated for a long moment, as though something was bottled up so deeply inside her soul that it might take surgery to get it out. Finally, great tears rolled down her face and she cried，“Oh, son, please forgive me. That time and that Christmas have been a burden on my heart for twentyfive years. I wish your dad were here so I could tell him how sorry I am for what I said.”【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。“我”和三个孩子以及“我”的母亲居住在一起。圣诞夜，“我”熬夜未睡，意外发现母亲也未入睡；回忆往事，她失声痛哭。1How many children did the author have?A. One.B.

But recently researchers have found that these whales are on the move and they have migrated from California waters to areas off Canada and Alaska for the first time since commercial whaling ended in 1965.The researchers identified 15 blue whales that have appeared off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska since 1997. Four of these whales were recognized as ones that were once sighted off California shores, suggesting that the whales are returning to an old migration pattern between the coasts.Before commercial whaling began in the early 1900s, blue whales were found widely throughout the North Pacific and California waters. But from the 1920s to the 1960s, whaling severely reduced the whale populations. Blue whales never recovered in the North Pacific, making sightings in this area rare. However, much larger groups of whales have been observed close to California since the 1970s.The scientists had previously thought that the California population was separate from the population that had historically lived in the North Pacific waters. But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely part of the California population.To identify the blue whales, the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken in the North Pacific Ocean and compared them with a library of blue whale pictures taken along the west coast of the United States and Southern Pacific. Up to now, the researchers are not quite sure why the whales are changing their migration patterns, but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north by the changes in ocean conditions. 【解题导语】本文主要讲的是蓝鲸的迁移以及有可能引起迁移的原因。5According to the passage, blue whales are _.A. following a fixed route of migrationB. dying out due to commercial whalingC. moving from the south to the northD. rarely found in the Southern Pacific答案与解析：C考查推理判断。根据最后一段最后一句中的“the whales may be following their food moving farther north”可推出，蓝鲸正从南向北移动。故选C。6The whale population in the North Pacific _. A. is different from the California populationB. is probably part of the California populationC. has become the largest group since the 1970sD. has lived there since the 1960s答案与解析：B考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely part of the California population”可知，选B。7The underlined word “cetaceans” in Paragraph 5 probably means _.A. land creaturesB. whale speciesC. ocean conditions D. migration patterns答案与解析：B考查词义猜测。根据第五段中的“To identify the blue whales, the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken in the North Pacific Ocean”可知，为了辨认蓝鲸，研究者看在北太平洋拍的有关cetaceans的照片，所以cetaceans应该指的是鲸类。故选B。8What might make blue whales migrate according to the researchers?A. Commercial whaling. B. Weather conditions.C. Life reproduction. D. Food resources.答案与解析：D考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north”可知，研究者怀疑蓝鲸有可能跟随着它们的食物向北移动。故选D。.完形填空(2017吉林长春外国语学校模拟)I had to visit my sister in another town because her husband was very ill.
