Each passage is followed by 5 questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The Day I Met My MotherMine was, at times, a lonely childhood. Born in Chungking, China, of missionary parents, I lost my mother at birth. I was two months old when my father sent me to Mothers favorite sister in Morgantown, West Virginia. There I grew up in the house where Mother had spent her girlhood. When Aunt Ruth was at home, I was surrounded by love. But she was our sole breadwinner and worked in an office six days a week. Left with a procession of hired girls, I felt the loneliness of the big, old house. In the evenings, before Aunt Ruth came home, I often sat on the floor beneath a picture of my mother a sweet-faced young woman of 20, with dark eyes and black curly hair. Sometimes I talked to the picture, but I could never bear to look at it when Id been naughty. There was one question always in my mind: What was my mother like? If only I could have know her! Twenty years passed. I had grown up, married and had a baby, named Lucy for her grandmother-the mother Id so longed to know. One spring morning, 18-month-old Lucy and I boarded a train for Morgantown to visit Aunt Ruth. A woman offered me half her seat in the crowded car. I thanked her and busied myself with Lucy, while the woman turned her attention to the landscape speeding by. After settling my baby in my arms for a nap, I started to talk with the woman. She said she was going to Morgantown to see her daughter and brand-new grandson. “Surely you know my aunt, Ruth wood, “I said.” Shes had a real-estate office in Morgantown for years.” “No,” she answered. “Ive been away a long time, and that name is not familiar to me.” For several minutes, the woman looked out the window. Then, without turning her head, she began to speak. “There was a Miss Lucy Wood, a teacher, in Morgantown years ago. She probably left there before you were born. You said the name Wood, and, suddenly, I cant stop thinking about her. I havent thought of her for years, but once I loved her very much. She was my teacher. My parents owned a bakery on Watts Street. They were on the verge of divorce. They fought and quarreled all the time. I had to work very hard at home and in the bakery, too.“I loved school, though I didnt make good grades. Miss Woods room was a happy place; it seemed like heaven to me. One day, after my folks had a big fight at breakfast, I came to school late, holding back the tears. Miss Wood kept me after school. I thought she would scold me but, instead, she let me tell her my troubles. She made me feel how much my brothers and sisters, and even my parents, needed me and from that day on, my life was worth living.“A few months later, I heard a little girl say: Miss Woods going to marry a missionary and go live in China! I went home crying. My parents stopped in the middle of a fight to ask me what was wrong, but they could not know great a light was going out in my life. I couldnt sleep that night.“The next day, Miss Wood again kept me after school to see what was wrong. When I told her, she looked surprised and tender. Please dont go way off to China! I begged. “Viola, she answered, I cant give up China. Im going where my heart calls me, with the man I love. But Ill think of you often, and Ill send you a postcard.“Id never had any mail of my own, so that made me feel better. When I told my mother, she shook her head, saying. Dont feel too bad, Viola, if she forgets; shell have so many folks to write to. “Two months later, I got a postcard with a picture of the Yangtze River, postmarked Chungking, China. Are you still making me proud of you, my little brave one? it asked. If anyone had given me a million dollars, it couldnt have made me more proud. “Right after that, my parents broke up and we moved away from Morgantown. I raised my five brothers and sisters, married, and raised four children of my own. “Goodness, we are almost there! Ive talked too much. I do hope I havent bored you.”Then, for the first time, she turned to me and saw the tears in my eyes. “Would you like to see Lucy Woods granddaughter?” I asked. My baby was waking from her nap. My heart was singing. The burning question of my childhood had been richly answered. At long last, I knew exactly what my mother had been like.1.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:LibrariesLibraries are in some way the best evidence we have of civilization. In them is the accumulated knowledge of the ages. The core of a college or university is its library. Schools are spoken highly of for the size and effectiveness of their libraries. Since libraries go on indefinitely and survive even the oldest teachers, they are full of very old books.It is easy to think of a library as a place where a lot of old books sit unused on the shelf. On the other hand, libraries can be thought of as extremely timely and up to date. They have current books, magazines, newspapers, and other materials that would be very expensive and space-consuming if you were to subscribe (订阅) to them all. Many libraries have extensive collections of non-book materials as well, including large recorded-music collections,The best way to use a library is to have some idea of how it is organized. Then you can use the people in the library as efficiently as possible. It is the staff of the library that really make it work. They know where to find the information you need. You should be aware that different people in the library have different jobs. They range from highly trained reference librarians to part-time clerical help who probably dont know much beyond their specific job. The first thing to do if you are looking for information on a particular topic is to find the right person to help you. Approach one of the library staff members (preferably one behind the desk in the reference section), and say, “Are you a reference librarian?” If you get an affirmative answer, then explain what you are looking for and, if appropriate, why you are looking for it. The reference librarian can then make a professional judgment about what materials to lead you to. People differ, of course, but generally reference librarians are eager to demonstrate the special training and knowledge they have. Many will really go all out to help you. 6.
