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 say wolves correctly It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language From the time I was born I was read to I 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 sixth grade after my mother had left to catch the train to the city I left the house for the bus stop I 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 had created a wall between my mother s mind and mouth her mind was not any less clear but the words she spoke 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 31 From where might the author s mom come to America A

This is a question that a lot of people are probably now asking themselves especially since they currently have a longer list of items that are not allowed on airplanes because of the recent threats that have come to light But does this mean that traveling by plane is now the worst way to travel Well it really depends on how you look at it Let s take into consideration some of the other ways to travel If you choose to travel by train then it will probably take you a longer time to get to your destination But a train ride is not that uncomfortable it is a good way to travel Another option 选项 that you have is to travel by car Not too many people really like to take long trips in a car with their family You will have to make a lot rnore stops and you may end up more exhausted 筋疲力尽 The most uncomfortable option for long trips is the bus You may not realize it but riding on a bus can be very exhausting Some feel that the price of a bus trip is so much cheaper than a plane ride While this may be true in most cases for you to actually be able to enjoy your vacation it may be better to take a plane If you choose to travel by plane it will mean spending extra time in the airport and there is always the possibility of a delay But the extra security measures are there for your safety Even if you have to wait in line for a long period of time at least you know that it is the only way to be fully protected It is also a lot easier to travel by plane when you have young children You still end up getting to your destination a lot quicker than using other means of transportation 36 People

passengers can take 37 What does the writer think of train travel A It is the best way to travel now B It is quite great on the whole C It is very uncomfortable D It is safer than car travel 38

security checks C advise people to travel by plane D educate people on safe traveling D My son Advait taught me a beautiful lesson today He called out to me saying Papa sit That usually means leaving everything and sitting down to play with him As he will not stop calling out till I give in He was playing with beads 珠子 an exercise to help build the motor skills Anyway so after he finished playing with the beads he began to put them in their box He did that very slowly and carefully as if they were made of chocolate And with over a hundred beads to go I was getting tired Why could he not pick up 10 in one go and put them in said my anxious mind Damn My morning was going to go for a toss today And then it hit me like a brick This boy was enjoying the whole process For him the fun was in the game in the preparation for the game and in the process of properly collecting and picking up It was not just about his turn or the fun part Every bit was as fun as the other What a great view to have I thought to myself To live each moment as it is the perfect moment To do each task as if it were the most awesome task to do Nothing else matters I thought of myself as a kid when we would go out to play cricket 扳球 If I was not playing I was unhappy as I desperately waited for my toss to do so Only the process of doing something I associated with happiness made me cheerful The rest of the time I was waiting for my turn in the future or thinking of a great hit from the past This is also how I have so often lived my life waiting for something in the future or looking back on what it was like in the past Now Advait was showing me that life was about thoroughly living every moment with complete love and peace I realized that the truest and happiest moments of my life have been the ones where I fully participated without thoughts of the past or the 2014 2015 学年高三年级上学期第一次月考英语科测试学年高三年级上学期第一次月考英语科测试 7 future 41 We can infer that the writer A liked playing beads when he was a child B liked doing

forgotten C become cheerful D become relaxing 43 Compared with what his son when the writer was a kid he A hated thinking of the past B failed to enjoy every moment C was crazy about doing sports D often associated cricket with happiness 44 What would the writer probably do next A Go to play a cricket game B Go back to do his own work C Enjoy watching his son finish his work D Help his son put
