B.Motherwastooseriousaboutherdaughterinwords

解析：选A推理判断题。由第三、四段内容以及倒数第二段的【cleanedthe

deskcarefullyandfoundsomepapersinside一aphotoofmyfatherandaone-paper

letter,foldedandrefoldedmanytimes.ltwasmyletter.可以判断出，母亲表面上很冷

漠，但母亲对女儿的爱是深藏在母亲内心深处的。故选A。

A.deepunderstandingbetweentheoldandtheyoung

B.differentideasbetweenmotheranddaughter

解析：选B词义猜测题。由第四段中画线词后的Iwas“tooemotional（易

动感情的）”.Butshelived“onthesurface（表面）“.可知，"我”注重感情,

但她只停留在表面上。所以猜测gulf指的是母女之间的想法不同。故选B。

foundsomepapersinside——aphotoofmyfatherandaone-paperletter,foldedand

refoldedmanytimes.ltwasmyletter.母亲去世后，“我”仔细地清理桌子时，

发现里面有“我”给她写的信，折叠再折叠过好多次。所以判断出母亲在去世之

前，一遍又一遍地读着女儿写给自己的请求原谅的信。故选D。

4.What'sthebesttitleforthepassage?

A.MyLettertoMother

B.MotherandChildren

C.MyMother，sDesk

文章倒数第二段的Butthepresentofherdesktoldme...thatshewaspleasedthat

writingwasmychosenwork.可知，作者托物思人，以表达自己对母亲的怀念之情。

doorwithmyfoot,Ikickedbackabouta12-inchpartofthelowerlefthandcomerof

thenewscreendoor.可知，“我”在新纱门左下角一12英寸的地方踢了一

结合第二段可知，新纱门很贵。弄坏了纱门的“我”不仅没有感到自责和惭愧，

反倒在后院玩得很开心。故画线词词义是“后悔”。故选A。

的教育而乱发脾气损坏了纱门，父母并没有修理纱门，任由纱门上留下了一道裂

缝，不时地有苍蝇等穿过它进入厨房。数年来，这种无声的惩罚令作者不断感到

内疚，最终帮助作者成了一个更加有自控能力的人。因此推断，文章主要讲述无

声的惩罚能够更好地教育人。故选D。
