1. (北京交通大学附中 2023 届高三开学英语诊断练习)
Alexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for
wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. “Dad, there’s a deer there!” Alexis said. It was a
male deer with sharp antlers (⻆) on each side of its head.
As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer’s head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream
and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother,
had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. “I knew I was in trouble,” Sue says. She
went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue
could feel blood flew down her leg.
Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road. When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was
throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman’s terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car,the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer.
“I was kicking it to get its attention,” she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer
away from the women.
Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue’s injured leg. “We’re going to get you to a
hospital,” Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a
hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer’s head and neck, but the blows
didn’t scare it away. “I was losing faith,” she says. “A couple more strikes, Alexis,” said her father. “You can do it.”
Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer’s neck with all her strength. When she opened her
eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.
After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. “You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call
for help,” she says, “not to beat up a deer.”
24. What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?
A. She was driving home. B. She was taking exercise.
B. She was resting on the road. D. She was feeding wild animals.
25. What did Alexis do to save Sue?
A. She pushed the deer away. B. She beat the deer with a hammer.
B. She drove the car to hit the deer. D. She hit the deer with her feet.
26. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Woman Was Seriously Injured
B. A Girl Saved Her Father Successfully
C. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a Woman
D. A Teenager Rescued Others from a Deer Attack
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. D

2. （2023届江苏省南京市第一中学高三第一次模拟考试英语试题）
Lately, my 90-year-old mother has been sleepier and sleepier. This is very strange and worrying. At the same
time, my 92-year-old father has been suffering his own health problems. It is a terrible thing to see my father struggle to
get my mother to talk, say something, when she doesn’t have the energy.
The other day, I recalled how my mother used to visit a woman named Mrs. Demopolis, a Greek immigrant, who
made the best baklava(果仁蜜饼) in the world! She gave lessons on baking it to my mother. Also, my mother often
baked baklava at home. As I spoke of this over the phone, my silent mother perked up and said how much she’d like to
have one again.
Now, they live in Florida and I live in Wales, UK, so I can’t go and bring her some baklava or even make some
in her kitchen. But what I did suggest was that my father could buy some baklava at a Greek restaurant and I could do
the same, and wouldn’t it be fun to eat our baklava at exactly the same time and so, be together sharing the moment and
the pleasure? My parents loved the idea and we decided to do it.
Two days later we both had our baklava and shared the experience. It meant a lot to my parents, and to me, to do
this. My mother said she wanted to do this again, maybe with another food or even baklava again! Why not? And as she
only keeps losing weight instead of gaining, it is good for her to find foods that appeal to her appetite . It is becoming
harder to find ways to communicate over the phone, but this is at least a very good way to do so.
24．Why does the author feel worried?
A．Her mother can’t walk by herself.
B．Her mother is becoming less active.
C．Her father has to get her mother to talk.
D．Her mother refuses to talk with her father.
25．What does the underlined phrase “perked up” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Calmed down. B．Turned around.
C．Held one’s breath. D．Came to life.
26．What did the author suggest to please her mother?A．They should enjoy the same food at the same time.
B．The author should buy some baklava for her mother.
C．Her mother should make some baklava in her kitchen.
D．Her family should get together to look after her mother.
27．What do we know about the author’s mother?
A．She hopes to live with her daughter. B．She is looking for her favorite food.
C．She likes communicating in this way. D．She thinks baklava is the most delicious.
【答案】24．B 25．D 26．A 27．C
【导语】本文的语篇类型为记叙文。短文叙述了90岁的老母亲最近越来越昏昏欲睡，这让作者很担心。后来
作者想了一个办法，让母亲活跃起来。
25．细节理解题。根据第一段的“Lately, my 90-year-old mother has been sleepier and sleepier. This is very strange
and worrying.（最近，我90岁的妈妈越来越困了。这是非常奇怪和令人担忧的）”可知，为什么作者会感到焦
虑是因为她母亲变得不那么活跃了。故选B。
26．词义猜测题。根据上文“The other day, I recalled how my mother used to visit a woman named Mrs.
Demopolis, a Greek immigrant, who made the best baklava(果仁蜜饼) in the world! She gave lessons on baking it to
my mother.（有一天，我想起我母亲曾经去拜访一位名叫德莫波里斯夫人的女士，她是一位希腊移民，她做的
果仁蜜饼是世界上最好的!她教我妈妈怎么烤）根据下文… said how much she’d like to have one again（说她多
么希望可以再吃一个果仁蜜饼）”可知，听到女儿在电话里说这件事，老太太变得活跃起来。所以划线词的意
思是“活跃起来，恢复生机”。故选D项。
27．细节理解题。根据第三段的“But what I did suggest was that my father could buy some baklava at a Greek
restaurant and I could do the same, and wouldn’t it be fun to eat our baklava at exactly the same time and so, be
together sharing the moment and the pleasure? My parents loved the idea and we decided to do it.”（但我的建议是，
我父亲可以在希腊餐厅买一些果仁蜜饼，我也可以做同样的事，如果我们在同一时间吃果仁蜜饼，一起分享这
一刻和快乐，不是很有趣吗?我父母很喜欢这个主意，我们决定照做。）可知，作者建议，虽然身处两地，但
他们可以各自买来果仁蜜饼，相约时间，一起享受它的美味与度过这段欢愉时光。故选A项。
28．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It meant a lot to my parents, and to me, to do this. My mother said she wanted to
do this again, maybe with another food or even baklava again! Why not?”（对我父母和我来说，这样做意义重大。
我妈妈说她想再来一次，也许再来一份食物，甚至是果仁蜜饼!为什么不呢?）可知，作者的母亲很喜欢用这种
方式交流。故选C项。
3. （安徽省六安市裕安区新安中学2022-2023学年高三上学期第二次月考英语试题）
For years going home for the holidays has been bittersweet. I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality timewith my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff.Clothes bought but never worn, and new items
in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. It’s evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis
reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.
I didn’t fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes
on her bed. “How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom?” I asked. To my horror, she replied, “I
do it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually; I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do
that. ”
Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse,and that
everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes they’ve made. I suggested she move all the stuff
upstairs, leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.
With patience and her slow but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them
upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood and was excited about going through the rest
of the house to finally get rid of her stuff—past mistakes and painful times. The items brought back painful memories
as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal.
We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.
The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes. Only through the act of self-
forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of reorganizing—both of the house and heart.
28.What made the author feel bitter?
A．She couldn’t understand her mom’s sorrows.
B．Her mom was stuck in the painful memories.
C．Her mom was always left alone at home.
D．Her mom wasted money on useless things.
29．The underlined word “that” in the second paragraph refers to _______.
A．getting rid of the stuff B．buying the stuffC．opening the stuff D．moving the stuff
30．We can infer from the passage that ______.
A．the author never bought her mom anything
B．the author’s mom has no money to purchase now
C．the author’s mom regrets buying so many things
D．the author knows her mom’s suffering only this week
31．What’s the best title of the passage?
A．How to do shopping wisely
B．Clearance helps reorganize the house
C．Keep an eye on the elderly’s behavior
D．Self-forgiveness makes a difference
【答案】28．B 29．A 30．C 31．D
【导语】本文是篇记叙文。作者的母亲为了惩罚自己过去乱花钱购物的错误，房间里甚至床上都堆满了购买的
衣物。作者为此感到很痛苦，便耐心帮助母亲逐渐处理掉了这些能唤起过去不愉快回忆的杂物，实现了自我原
谅，最终获得了快乐。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“ it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff.”（看到她房子里堆满了杂
物我感到很痛苦。）和“ It’s evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping
was her way of spending money.”（显然，每天看到这些物品会提醒我妈妈那段购物是她花钱方式的时光。）可
知，作者的母亲房间里堆满了杂物，这些物品使她困在了对过去痛苦的记忆中，这让作者感到很痛苦。故选
B。
29．词义猜测题。根据本句“I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do that.”（我正在通过和它们睡
在一起的方式惩罚我自己，直到我做的那件事。）和上一句“I do it because I know I have to get rid of all this
stuff eventually; ”（我这么做是因为我知道我最终必须丢弃所有这些物品。）可以判断，“that”是指丢掉这些
物品。故选A。
30．推理判断题。由上文可知，作者的母亲正在用房间里堆满购买的物品的方式惩罚自己；同时结合第三段“
and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes they’ve made. ”（每个人都应有一个
安枕无忧的地方，无论他们犯了什么错误）可知，作者的母亲认为自己过去买了太多的物品是一件错事，因而
后悔，并惩罚自己。故选C。
31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“ Only through the act of self-forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of
reorganizing—both of the house and heart.”（只有通过自我原谅的行为，我们才能引起整理的连锁反应——房子
和内心）可知，本文主要讲述了自我原谅所起的作用。故选D。4.(北京市师范大学附属实验中学2022-2023高三上学期开学摸底考试)
When a Houston dad found out his eight-year-old son was being bullied, he didn’t get mad at the classmate who
teased him. Instead, he talked with the so-called bully and realized that the boy was struggling, too.
Aubrey Fontenot’s son, Jordan, told him a boy named Tamarion was teasing him. Fontenot decided to sit down
with his son and Tamarion to understand what was going on, and something unexpected happened.
Tamarion told Fontenot he was being teased at school, too. “I asked, ‘By who? You are big. You are huge. Who is
teasing you?’” the father said. “He said, ‘Just all the other kids, man. They are making fun of me.’” Fontenot learned
that Tamarion was getting teased for his clothes and shoes — his clothes and shoes were old and dirty. Fontenot then
spoke to the boy’s mother. “She kind of confirmed it,” Fontenot said. “And she said, ‘That’s the kind of situation.’”
He felt sympathetic to the young boy and wanted to help. So he asked Tamarion’s mom if he could take her son to
do some shopping.
Fontenot posted videos of their trip to the mall on social media and they went viral. Tamarion eventually smiled,
and then the two were laughing and singing together on their shopping trip. Just as if he were taking his own son to do
some shopping, Fontenot got Tamarion new clothes and shoes, and shared words of wisdom with him.
Then, the dad united the two boys. He said it was awkward at first — just a day earlier, they didn’t get along well
at school. But the two classmates started playing sports games together and soon became friends. It was not just about
the clothes and shoes. Tamarion gained a friend in Jordan, and a mentor in his dad. Fontenot said he was also bullied
when he was a child, so he knew it was important to listen to Tamarion’s story. He chose kindness instead of anger and
brought the two boys together. “I wouldn’t say that was the goal, but that was the reward,” Fontenot said.
24.What was Fontenot’s attitude toward his son’s being bullied?
A．Amazed and embarrassed. B．Angry and impatient.
B．Calm and sensible. D．Sad and discouraged.
25.What did Fontenot do to solve the problem of bullying?
A．He turned to the school for help.
B．He made the two boys united and join together.
C．He asked Tamarion’s mother to settle the problem.
D．He ordered his son never to play with Tamarion again.
26.What can we know from the text?
A．Fontenot communicated with Tamarion’s mother to know about him.
B．Jordan’s being bullied arose from his clothes and shoes.
C．Jordan and Tamarion got along well in the beginning.D．Tamarion’s mother paid little attention to Tamarion.
【答案】24．C 25．B 26．A

24．推理判断题。根据第一段“When a Houston dad found out his eight-year-old son was being bullied, he didn’t
get mad at the classmate who teased him. Instead, he talked with the so-called bully and realized that the boy was
struggling, too.(当休斯顿的一位父亲发现他八岁的儿子被欺负时，他没有对取笑他的同学生气。相反，他与所

合在一起解决了这个问题。故选B项。
26．细节理解题。根据第三段“Fontenot then spoke to the boy’s mother. “She kind of confirmed it,” Fontenot said.
“And she said, ‘That’s the kind of situation.’”(Fontenot随后与男孩的母亲交谈。“她有点证实了这一点，”丰特

Growing up in rural Jiangsu Province, Yu Jigao showed a strong interest in fine arts at an early age and studied on
his own for years. His hard work paid off later. In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University,
where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists. It was then that Yu found his lifelong
artistic passion for gongbi. Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy, in an
artistic way with intense color.
After graduation from the art school in 1957, Yu began his professional career at the Chinese Painting Institute of
Jiangsu. He has since published a series of art collections. Since 1959, Yu has contributed a series of works to many
important sites. Yu’s works have also been displayed in a range of national and international exhibitions. From 1986 to
1997, he held his exhibitions in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York. Both the themes and artistictechniques have won widespread praise in the past years.
While observing traditional rules, he uses accurate lines, powerful brush movements as well as the interplay
between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature. Though he adopts a realistic style, he tries to enrich his
works with spiritual beauty through his brush. Yu says, “That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant
flowers in my paintings.” Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity, Yu is able to combine
realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork.
Now as deputy director of the Academy of Chinese Gongbi Painting of Flowers and Birds and a national top-level
artist, Yu maintains a simple and easy-going style. In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting
his painting style as the cultural heritage of China. “Art is part of my life,” Yu says. “I am proud to be a flower-bird
painter. I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts.”
24．Where did Yu discover his love for gongbi?
A．In Beijing. B．In New York.
B．At Nanjing Normal University. D．At the Chinese Painting Institute of Jiangsu.
25．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Yu?
A．His school life.
B．His painting techniques.
C．His contributions to the art school.
D．His artistic achievements in painting.
26．Which is Yu’s painting feature?
A．Adopting abstract objects.
B．Excluding plants and animals.
C．Combining traditional rules with a realistic style.
D．Representing the imbalance between nature and humans.
27．What does Yu expect of his painting style?
A．It will change a lot.
B．It will be passed on.
C．It will look more complicated.
D．It will reach the top international level.

My daughter was being thrown out of the sixth grade. The teacher said, “She may not be up to what we’re trying
to accomplish.” He was really saying she didn’t have the intelligence. I got mad because I knew she was smart, just as
my father had known I was smart when I was failing in school. We had her tested. I decided to get myself tested as
well, and found that the troubles she was having were exactly what I had had — dyslexia. By then I was a successful
television writer, and had won an Emmy Award for “The Rockford Files.”If I had known earlier that something beyond my control could explain why I was a low achiever, I may not
have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to
hear people praise me, because I did badly in all my courses.
I once asked a friend who had always gotten an A, “How long did you study for this?” He said, “I didn’t. I just
glanced at it.” So he must be smarter. I began to ask, “What will happen to me when I’m not good at anything?”
Despite my doubts, I did become successful, and people now say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.”
No. You don’t overcome it, you learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are very hard for me. Most people
who go through college read twice as fast as I do. I avoid dialing a phone if I can, because I sometimes have to try three
times to get the number right.
Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right-brain,
abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write quickly, and can get up to 15 pages a
day. Writing is my strength.
The real fear I have for dyslexic children is not they have to struggle in school, but that they will quit on
themselves before they get out of school. Parents have to create victories for them, whether it’s music, sports or art. You
can make your dyslexic child able to say, “Yeah, reading is hard. But I have other things I can do.”
4．The writer decided to get himself tested as well because he________.
A．wanted to know if they had the same problem
B．didn’t believe his daughter had the problem
C．had to take a regular medical examination
D．accepted that his daughter was not smart
5．We can learn from the second paragraph that the writer________.
A．struggled and got better grades
B．didn’t work hard when he was young
C．was praised for overcoming dyslexia
D．was thankful not knowing of dyslexia earlier
6．According to the passage, a dyslexic person________.
A．is less intelligent B．always fails in school
C．reads more slowly than normal people D．performs worse in left-brain activities
7．What can we learn from the story?
A．Clumsy birds have to start flying early. B．God shuts one door but opens another.
C．Never judge a person by his appearance.D．No one can make a good coat with bad cloth.【答案】4．A 5．D 6．C 7．B
【分析】本文是记叙文。作者从女儿患读写困难症，谈到自己也有读写困难，但是作者通过自己的努力成为了
一位成功的电视作家，并获得了艾米奖。作者认为读写困难不是诅咒，而是礼物。上帝给你关上一扇门的同时
必然会为你打开一扇窗。
4．细节理解题。根据第一段的We had her tested. I decided to get myself tested as well, and found that the troubles
she was having were exactly what I had had — dyslexia.可知，作者和女儿一起做了检测，发现女儿的确有和作者
曾经有的一样的问题——读写困难。因此推断，作者决定自己也做检查是因为他想要知道是否他和女儿有同样
的问题。故选A。
5．推理判断题。根据第二段的 If I had known earlier that something beyond my control could explain why I was a
low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s.(如果我早些时候知道一些超出我控制范围
的事情可以解释为什么我是一个学渣，我可能在20多岁和30多岁的时候没有这么努力)可知，作者感激没有
早知道有读写困难症。故选D。
6．细节理解题。根据第四段的Most people who go through college read twice as fast as I do.(大多数读大学的人读
得比我快两倍)可知，一个读写困难的人读得比正常人慢。故选C。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段的 Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many
dyslexics are good at right-brain, abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write
quickly, and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is my strength.
(尽管我有弱点，但我认为诵读困难是一种礼物，而不是一种诅咒。 许多诵读困难者擅长右脑、抽象思维，这
就是我的创造性写作。我能写得很快，每天最多能写15页。写作是我的力量)可推断，上帝给你关上一扇门的
同时必然会为你打开一扇窗。故选B。

Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known
during his lifetime, yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to adversity.
Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth
through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon by racial prejudice. Many
would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later
he lost both of his parents.But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing seemed to stop him, not
even stolen shoes. Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics, somebody stole his shoes.
Thorpe improvised(临时拼凑) by getting shoes out of the garbage. The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an
extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.
He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one, the javelin(标枪).
The javelin was the only event he didn’t win, probably because he had never competed in that event before. It is
interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials. At the time, he didn’t
know that he could throw it with a running start. He threw it standing still and was placed second.
At the Olympics，he also took part in the decathlon(十项全能运动). He finished first in two events, third in
four events, and fourth in two more. Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world. He was undoubtedly a dominating
force that couldn’t be stopped and just kept on going.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了美国印第安人吉姆·索普坎坷的人生经历和他作为运动员所取得的骄人成
绩。
24．词句猜测题。根据第二段“Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary
athletic skills in his youth through hard labor. It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon
by racial prejudice. Many would say his childhood was not easy. He grew up poor and at age 9 his twin brother passed
away and a few years later he lost both of his parents.”（索普是来自俄克拉荷马州的美洲印第安人，他在年轻时通
过艰苦劳动发展了非凡的运动技能。也正是在他年轻的时候，他学会了忍受种族偏见带来的苦难。许多人会说
他的童年并不容易。他出身贫寒，9岁时双胞胎兄弟去世，几年后他失去了双亲。）可知,吉姆·索普经历了很
多苦难，幼年时双胞胎兄弟过世，随后父母双亡,青年时又困扰于种族偏见带来的磨难：以及划线句前面的 yet
表转折意义,可知,划线部分的意思是虽然索普后来有所成就，但却经历了很多苦难。故选D。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段的“The shoes were two different sizes. He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to
even them out.”（鞋子有两个不同的尺寸，他一只脚上多穿了一双袜子来平衡。）可知，两只鞋大小不一，因
此索普多穿袜子就是为了让鞋合脚。故选B。
26．细节理解题。根据第四段的“because he had never competed in that event before”（因为他以前从未参加过
那个项目）可知，他没有参加过标枪比赛，因此比赛经验不足最可能是他失利的原因。故选C。
27．推理判断题。根据第二段的叙述可知，吉姆·索普成长过程中经历过很多苦难，这很大程度上塑造了他坚
韧不拔的性格。第三段的“But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams. Nothing
seemed to stop him, not even stolen shoes.”（但这并没有阻止他去做他喜欢的事情，去追求他的梦想。似乎没有
什么能阻止他，甚至是偷来的鞋子。）正是对他坚韧不拔性格的刻画，由此可知, tough(坚韧的)和strong-
minded(意志坚定的)是对他最准确的描述。故选C。
8. (四川省树德中学2022-2023学年高三上学期10月阶段性测试)
I discovered the power of fear when I became stuck to my driveway, as if my feet were crazy-glued to the
cement (水泥). As much as I tried, I could not move them. The realization that my daughters were playing in Nancy's
house, just one-half block away, paralyzed (麻痹) my legs, making me unable to move when I neared the end of our
driveway. Dense, black smoke was rising from behind the Sycamore Maple trees on the other side of the street and was
enveloping three houses, making them barely visible. Nancy's house was one of them.I tried to call out for my daughters, hoping to see them run safely to my arms, but my voice was also stuck-stuck
in my throat with no intention of coming out. There I stood, helpless, paralyzed and silenced by fear, unable to protect
the two lttle girls I loved more than even I had realized.
Although trapped in a body that couldn't move or speak, I could still hear. I could hear other mothers anxiously
calling their children. I could hear a frightening silence that covered the neighborhood instead of the usual happy voices
of children. And, finally, I could hear the alarm of the fire engine. As the alarm announced, "We're on our way," it
instantly dissolved the crazy glue that had held my feet to the cement and it unlocked the soundproof box that had
silenced my voice. I was free to make sure my daughters were safe.
As I continued down the driveway, two little girls, my two little girls, ran toward me from across the street.
They had come home to tell me about the fire in the garage next to Nancy's house. Not only did my feet and voice work
now, but my eyes were also in good working order and had no trouble producing tears.

A．She was too tired to move her legs.

25．What made the author able to move and speak again?
A．Shouting from other anxious mothers. B．Strange silence in the neighborhood.

26．What does the author suggest at the end of the story?
A．She burst into tears of relief and happiness.
B．She was really thankful to see her girls saved.
C．She was too excited to believe what she saw.
D．She overcame her fear and fully recovered.

houses, making them barely visible. Nancy's house was one of them.”（我意识到我的女儿们正在南希家玩耍，就在
