26、   Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia（栀子花） was sent to my house. No card or note came with it. I was greatly surprised by the beauty and smell of the flower.

But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. My mother helped me to imagine. She’d ask me if I had been kind to someone, perhaps the neighbor I’d helped carry the groceries for. As a teenager, though, I had more fun thinking that it might be a boy I loved.

One month before my high-school graduation, my father died of a heart attack. I lost all my interest in graduation, the senior-class play and the prom（毕业舞会）. But my mother would not hear of my skipping（略过） any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and be lovable, imaginative, believing that there was a magic in the world and beauty in the face of hard times. Actually she wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia—lovable, strong and perfect.

When I was 22, a boy broke my heart. The night he called me the last time, I cried myself to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, there was a message on my mirror in red lipstick: “Heartily know, / when half-gods go, / the gods arrive.” I thought about those words from Emerson for a long time. When I finally went to get the glass cleaner, my mother knew everything was all right again. She did understand me.

My mother died 10 days after I was married. I was 24. That was the year the gardenias stopped coming.

【1】After the writer turned 12, she began to receive_____________  on her birthday every year.

A.a birthday card B.a birthday cake

C.a white gardenia D.a beautiful book

【2】When the writer was 22,_____________ .

A.her father died of a heart attack B.she lost her mother

C.a boy sent her some flowers D.a boy broke up with her

【3】What do we know from the story?

A.The writer didn’t like the white gardenia.

B.The writer’s father didn’t love her.

C.The writer’s mother was very wise.

D.The writer sent a gardenia to her mother every year.

【4】Which do you think is the best title?

A.Life Without Father B.High School Graduation

C.Mystery of the White Gardenia D.A Girl’s Growing Pain

27、

With an unusual way to her work, Cayce Zavaglia is a famous artist. She embroiders with a needle and she calls this style “painting with thread”.

“Painting with a needle is not as fast as painting with a brush,” she says, “It needs a lot of patience, and I often stop to rethread my needle. When people ask how long it takes to complete a portrait, I tell them nearly 200 hours!”

Cayce’s first step is deciding who will be in the portrait. “I love creating portraits of my family and close friends,” she says. Once she decides, she invites that person to her studio and takes hundreds of photos. She studies the way the light falls across the person’s face. She makes sure his or her eyes are looking straight into the camera. Then, after many hours of studying the photos, she chooses the perfect one for her portrait.

Next, she enlarges the photo. And then, she paints the background. Using thread, she matches the colors in the photo and then the embroidering begins. Cayce starts with the hair, and next the shoulders. Then she moves on to the clothing, and finally the face. The human face is what she most enjoys creating in her art.

“My biggest challenge is making the skin, hair, and clothing look real. In a portrait of my daughter, the skin appears soft. In a portrait of my dad, an aging face can be easily seen.”

Cayce believes her success depends on three things: her choice of colors, the length and direction of the embroidering, and her ability to make the portrait look true. “I love the surprise when people see my art,” Cayce says.” From a distance, they believe the portraits are painted. When they take a closer look, they see the portrait has been embroidered.”

【1】The works of Cayce Zavaglia are special because _________.

A．the art is created with light

B．the photos are taken by cameras

C．the pictures are drawn with brushes

D．the portraits are painted with needles

【2】The purpose of Paragraph 2 is to show _________.

A．the time that embroidery takes

B．the tools that the painting needs

C．the methods of painting with a brush

D．the difficulty of painting with thread

【3】Which of the following is the correct order of embroidering with a needle?

a. Paint the background.                                b. Choose the proper colors.

c. Start the embroidering with thread.            d. Take the photos of a person.

A．d-a-b-c

B．a-d-b-c

C．d-b-a-c

D．a-d-c-b

【4】According to Cayce, we can learn that _________.

A．the choice of the color is the most difficult

B．people can see Cayce’s friends in her works

C．most of the portraits made by Cayce are painted

D．Cayce can make the aging face become younger

28、   In the age of digital printing (数字印刷), almost all newspapers articles are typed with computers. But The Musalman, the oldest Urdu-language daily newspaper in India, is still being published as the world’s l【1】 hand-written newspaper.

The newspaper has four pages. The front page is for national and international news. The second and the third pages are for local news. The fourth page is for sports news. Some s【2】 is left blank at the bottom right corner of the front page, in case there is breaking news.

Every day, it takes three calligraphers (书法家) three hours to write a page before the paper is printed and sent to its 21,000 readers. These calligraphers must be very c【3】 not to make any writing mistakes, because even a small mistake can lead to a whole page being rewritten.

The newspaper makes so l【4】 money that costs are hardly covered. But for Syed Arifullah, who took over the newspaper from his father, it is his duty to keep the paper alive as a way to protect the Urdu language and especially its calligraphy. He says that calligraphy is the heart of The Musalman, and if someone removes the heart of the paper, there will be n【5】 left.

People working for the newspaper also feel very p【6】 to be part of it. They are really devoted to (致力于) their work and believe that their work helps preserve a dying art.

First published in 1927, the newspaper is l【7】 to exist for another 90 years. Let’s wait and see.
