A
Early that evening I received a call from my hometown telling me that my brother had been killed in a car accident. “Come as soon as you can,” begged my mother.
That’s what I wanted to do – to leave at once, to hurry to my parents. But my husband Larry and I were in the midst of packing to move. Our house was a mess. I stood looking at all the tasks that should be taken care of — and did nothing. I couldn’t focus. Occasionally, someone would speak to me with offer, “If there’s anything I can do, please let me know.” “Thank you, thank you very much,” I’d reply. But I was too confused to concentrate.
The bell rang and I opened the door to see Emerson King standing at the door. “Donna has to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to get the children’s shoes cleaned and shined for the funeral. So that’s what I’ve come to do for you. Give me all your shoes.” Oh, 高考资源网, I hadn’t even thought about shoes!
Emerson’s request gave me something specific to do. While he was spreading newspapers on the kitchen floor, I tried to gather all our shoes. Emerson settled himself on the floor and got to work, saying nothing. Watching him concentrate on one task helped me pull my own thought into order. And one by one, I got all the jobs into place. When I finally returned to the kitchen, I only found him gone. Lined against one wall were all our shoes, spotless, gleaming (闪光). And the love in that act released my tears at last.
Now, whenever I hear of an acquaintance who has lost a loved one, I no longer call with the vague(模糊的) offer, “If there’s anything I can do, ” I try to think of one specific task that suits that person’s need, and I’m always successful. It’s just because a man once cleaned my shoes. 46. The writer couldn’t do anything at first most probably because __________. A. there was too much to do B. her house was in a mess. C. she was shocked by the news
D. her husband was doing the packing
47. Donna, as is mentioned in Paragraph 3, was most likely to be ______.
A. Emerson’s wife B. Emerson’s wife C. another neighbour of the writer’s D. one of Emerson’ acquaintance
48. The reason only Emerson’s offer was accepted was that his offer was _____. A. sincere B. specific C. vague D. simple 49. We can judge from the article that Emerson __________. A. must be the writer’s friend
B. was a close relative of the writer’s
C. was a mere acquaintance of the writer’s D. was only a stranger to the writer
50. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. This story happened in the morning.
B. Emerson said goodbye to the writer before he left.
C. People are in need of help when they have just lost a loved one. D. Specific offers are difficult to accept.

It was the first snow of winter----an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now，I had been old enough to dress myself，but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson，my kindergarten teacher，had been through first snow days many times，but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother，and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine，and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots.（靴子）． In her calm，motherly voice she said，“By the end of winter，‘you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence（信心）．
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children，I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing，she managed to get the first one into place and then，with a sigh，worked the second one on too.
I announced，\They’re on the wrong feet.”
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
\They’re my brother's boots，you know，”I said. \！”
Somehow，from long years of practice，she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying（烦人的）little girl. She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh，seeing the end of her struggle with me，she asked，\，where are your mittens（连指手套）？” I looked into her eyes and said，\didn’t want to lose them，so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”

52. Miss Finlayson had, difficulty with the girl's boots mainly because A. the girl got them from her brother B. the girl put something in them
C. they were on the wrong feet D they did not fit the girl well
53. Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day? A. Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes. B. Because it was the most exciting day of the winter. C Because the little girl played a trick on her. D. Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf.
54. We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson＿． A. was losing confidence in the little girl B. gradually lost patience with the little girl C became disappointed with the little girl D. was getting bored with the little girl 55. What does the underlined word “announce” in the fifth paragraph mean? A. 承认 B 认识到 C 叹气 D 宣布 四、单词拼写（10%）
