第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 40分）

第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A

?My six-year-old granddaughter stares at me as if she is seeing me for the first time. “Grandma, you are an antique,” she says. “You are old. Antiques are old. You are my antique.”

I am not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I explain, “An antique is not only just old; it’s an object existing since or belonging to earlier times such as a work of art or a piece of furniture. Antiques are valuable.”

We look around the house for antiques. There is a large desk that was handed down from an aunt to our family. “It’s very old,” I tell Jenny. “I try to keep it polished, and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques.” When Jenny gets older and understands such things, I might also tell her that whenever I look at the desk or touch it, I am reminded of the aunt who was dear to me and gave me the desk as a gift. I see her face again, though she is no longer with us. I remember myself as a little girl standing against this antique, listening to one of her stories.

Our tour of antiques continues. There is a picture on the wall purchased at a yard sale. It is dated 1867, and it is not in very good condition. There is a vase on the floor. I’m not certain where it came from, but I didn’t buy it new. And then there is an old-style bed, sent to me forty years ago from an uncle who slept in it for fifty years.

“The one thing about antiques,” I explain to Jenny, “is that they usually have a story.”

For a moment Jenny looks thoughtful. “I don’t have any antiques but you,” she says. Then her face brightens. “Could I take you to school for our antiques show?”

“Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answer. And then her antique lifts her up and gives her a big hug that will last through the years.

46. The author shows Jenny many antiques to ________.

A. let her learn to value things

B. tell her the stories behind them

C. show her the meaning of the word “antique”

D. help her know more about the family’s past

47. What do the picture and the vase have in common?

A. Both came from the author’s uncle. B. Both are still in good condition.

C. Both were received as a gift. D. Both were bought old.

48. It can be inferred from the text that _________.

A. Jenny loves the author very much

B. the author agrees to Jenny’s request

C. Jenny doesn’t like the author’s antiques

D. the author’s explanation confuses Jenny

49. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Jenny’s antique B. A tour of antiques

C. My love of antiques D. Stories behind my antiques
