III.阅读理解 (每题2分,共30分)
A
I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said, “is for Elizabeth”.
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me, she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”
As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment，then little interest, finally, peace---it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work, I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside---a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
36. The writer began to love her mother’s desk________.
A. after Mother died B. before she became a writer
C. when she was a child D. when Mother gave it to her
37. The passage shows that__________.
A. Mother wrote her daughter in careful words
B. Mother cared much about her daughter in words
C. Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
D. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
38. The word “gulf” in the passage means________.
A. part of the sea going far in land
B. free talks between mother and daughter
C. different ideas between the mother and the daughter
D. deep understanding between the old and the young
39. What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?
A. She had never received the letter.
B. She read the letter again and till she died.
C. For years, she often talked about the letter.
D. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in her life.

It seems that great
artists and scientists often suffer from mental (精神的) problems. Both
Einstein and Dickens had mental illness. Now scientists have started to look at
whether mental illness and genius are linked.
Dr Adele Juda studied 5,000
creative people in Germany. She found there were more people with mental
illness in this group than in the general population. Poets had the highest
rate (比例) of mental illness, followed by musicians,
with lower numbers for painters and architects.
Other scientists did
research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and
creativity. But, it did nothing to explain it.
Dr Ruth Richards of
Harvard University made a breakthrough. Instead of studying creative
people, she took a group of psychiatric (精神病的) patients
and tested them for creativity. The patients got much higher scores than a
normal group.
Also, the patients'
close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group.
This suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is
in our genes.
But this is a problem.
According to Darwinism, harmful genes should be removed. Some scientists
believe that evolution (进化) has created a balance, where the
madness of a few people leads to the development of the whole human race.
Geniuses may be mad, bad or just difficult to understand, but their discoveries have improved the world we live in. It seems that a little creative madness is good for us all.
46. According to Dr
Adele Juda, which of the following has the lowest rate of
mental illness?
A. Painters. B.
Musicians. C.
Poets. D.
Bus drivers.
47. The underlined phrase "make a breakthrough" in the
4th paragraph means "_____".
A. discover or find something new and important
B. make a way through using force
C. (of the sun or moon ) appear from behind (clouds)
D. suddenly change (from a slower to a faster pace)
48.
Based on the research of Dr Ruth Richards of
Harvard University, we can conclude that _____.
A. great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems
B. the patients' close relatives were much more creative than the patients and
a normal group
C. psychiatric patients have more creativity than the average people
D. it is our genes that determine the link between creativity and mental
illness
49.. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Among the 5,000 creative people in Germany, more people suffer from mental
diseases than the general population.
B. There is a strong link between mental problems and creativity.
C. Psychiatric patients make greater contributions than common people.
D. The key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes.
50.What is the writer's attitude toward madness?
A. Madness is harmful to the whole society.
B. A little creative madness is good for us all.
C. All the talented people are mad.
D. Only the people with mental illness have more creativity.
