She called it “the ultimate homedelivery service”Morriss moving, firstperson narrative which was published last week by the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail, has gone popular, with more than 24,000 online reposts.“I know what is inside the paper carrier bag，” she wrote. “A thermos with hot soup and a stainlesssteel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has become an almost daily occurrence.”Wing started her act of kindness when she learned that Morris had to undergo heart surgery. She took it upon herself to begin feeding her neighbor, even though the two women have no way of communicating verbally. Wing speaks only Mandarin, and Morriss Mandarin is limited to ni hao (hello)“So here we are, two grandmothers a world away from where we were raised, neither of us able to speak the others language, but communicating one way or another (with some help from technology). The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed smilingly to me by Wing，” Morris wrote.Readers and netizens around the world have been touched by this relationship that crosses national boundaries and focuses on human kindness.“You know that most people in this world just want to live a good life，” one reader commented. “I come from old Ireland, so I can tell you a thing or two about conflict. The point is, most people are very good with big hearts and want their children to grow up safe and in places like this country can offer.”语篇解读：互为邻居的两位老人温女士与安吉莫里斯虽然语言不通无法交流，但温女士在得知莫里斯要做手术的消息后，主动为其做饭。她的善举感动了很多读者和网友。1Why did Ms. Wing cook meals for Morris?AMorris had some health problems.BWing was an expert cook.CMs. Wing had nothing else to do.DThey were raised in the same place.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Wing started her act of kindness when she learned that Morris had to undergo heart surgery.”可知，温女士因为知道莫里斯要做手术，所以做饭给她吃。故选A项。2Which of the following words can best describe Ms. Wing?AKindhearted.BSensitive.CCommunicative.

It probably began with the little notes I would write to my mother. My mother, also, always insisted I write my own thankyou letters for Christmas and birthday presents. _2_When I left home at 18 to train as a doctor in London, I would write once a week, and so would my mother. Occasionally my father would write and it was always a joy to receive his long, amusing letters. _3_ Of course, we also made phone calls but it is the letters I remember most.There were also letters from my boyfriends. In my youth I seemed to attract people who had to work or study away at some time and I was only able to stay in touch with them by letter. _4_ I found that I could often express myself more easily in writing than by talking.I love the letters that come with birthday or Christmas cards. Notes are appreciated, but how much better to have a years supply of news! And its better still when its an airmail envelope with beautiful stamps._5_ Like my mother before me, I insist they write their own thankyou letters. My daughter writes to me little letters, just as I did to my mother. I strongly urge readers not to allow letter writing to become another “lost art”APoor handwriting can spoil (破坏) your enjoyment of a letter.BWe had been corresponding (通信) for 29 years but had never met.CI am pleased that my children are carrying on the tradition.DIt didnt matter how short or untidy they were as long as they were letters.EBut instead of harming the relationships, letter writing seemed to improve them.FYet, to me, receiving a letter cannot be matched by any other form of communication.GThe letters from home contained just everyday events concerning my parents and their friends.语篇解读：本文主要阐述了在数码时代的背景下，作者对书信的怀念，并庆幸写书信成为家庭传统。1解析：选F上一句提到现代数码通信使书信到了要完全消失的危险境地，下一句又说收到书信的美妙感受，所以此处过渡要有转折含义且体现出书信对作者的吸引力，故选F项(但是，对我来说，收到一封信是其他任何通信方式都比不了的)。2解析：选D上文提到母亲坚持让作者在圣诞节和生日写感谢信，D项(无论长短，无论工整与否，只要写信就可以)符合语境。3解析：选G本段提到作者18岁时离家和父母书信联系，此处应该侧重家书的意义。G项(家书里面包含关于我的父母和他们的朋友日常的事情)符合语境，故选G项。4解析：选E空格前一句提到我只能用书信和他们保持联系，空格后一句意思是“我发现比起谈话，书信经常能让我更轻松地表达自己的观点”，所以空格处应侧重体现这种书信联系对维系友谊的作用及意义，故选E项(但写信不仅没有毁掉我们的关系，反而似乎促进了我们的友谊)。5解析：选C根据最后一段中的“Like .I insist they write their own thankyou letters. My daughter writes to me little letters, just as I did to my mother.”可知，作者成为母亲后坚持让儿女自己写感谢信，这一传统被沿用，故C项(我很高兴我的孩子正在沿用这个传统)符合语境。.短文改错Last weekend we went for camping in
