高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

I stand outside waving at the car pulling slowly out of our driveway. I force a smile, hoping it will cover up my tearing eyes, but I know it’s not working. I run into the house, slam the door behind me, and begin crying. It’s just occurred to me that I can’t see my elder sister, Monsura, in the next four months.

I ask myself why it is that I’m crying when I know she's doing something good for herself. I feel selfish for thinking about it but I’d be lying if I said I was happy for her choosing to study in a university in Boston. When my brother, Shafat, left for college, it was different. I still had one sibling at home to call me the stupidest person on a daily basis.

I am reminded of the things we did together as kids. In our old two-bed-room apartment, our parents gave in to our constant begging and traded rooms with us for one night. It was like being part of the amusement park, using our parents’ big bed as a trampoline (蹦床).It was during the first night that I witnessed a full moon. My sister and I believed my brother. He said that the moon was yellow because it was made from cheese. We made plans to visit the moon so we could melt a part of it and make cheese dip. But now I laugh at myself for being so innocent.

Sitting in front of my computer, I listen to songs that remind me of my two best friends. I come to terms with the fact that there's no longer anyone here to laugh uncontrollably with me or to turn to at night when I have a nightmare.

I’m shaken into reality by the sound of my cell phone ringing. Shafat is calling. I pick up and he immediately says “Thank you for such a great childhood.'' Those few words mean the world to me. We three-way call Monsura and spend the next hour reliving memory after memory, and by the end, I forget that I’m alone at home.

1.Why does the writer feel very sad?

A. She isn't admitted to a university.

B. She has no one to accompany her at home.

C. Monsura thinks she is stupid.

D. Monsura and Shafat didn’t go to the same college.

2.The kids traded rooms with their parents because　　 .

A. they hoped to sleep in one room

B. they expected to see a fall moon

C. they could play together on their parents’ bed

D. they wanted to make plans to visit the moon

3.What is the turning point of the story?

A. That the writer’s brother left home for college.

B. That the writer cried hard on the day when Monsura left.

C. That the writer listened to songs that remind her of something.

D. That the writer talked with her sister and brother on the phone,

4.What might be the best title for the passage?

A. My childhood　　 B. A very sad day

C. A hard-won family union　　 D. The most precious family love
