A Love Note To My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often acpany you as you modeled for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modelling 36 in your life. Little did I know you were 37 every penny you earned to go to 38 school.
I cannot thank you enough for 39 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I went into the dining room where you were buried 40 piles of law books. I was 41 .Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for 42 ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know. Moms could be lawyers too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was, that statement kept 43 in my ears. I watched as you faced the 44 of pleting your studies, starting panies with Dad, while still being a 45 and a Mom with five kids. I was exhausted just watching you in action. With your words of wisdom in my youthful mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world 46 . I set out to live my life filled with 47 , seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I constantly found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) or one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said , “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your 48 , I have forged ahead (毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and 49 meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m 50 it. So, get to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

(答案→)B
解析：
【小题1】B 多年之后作者终于明白了当模特在妈妈的生活中起着怎样的作用。由空前的what role可知此处应用动词played与之搭配,构成短语play a role in,含义是“起作用,扮演角色”。故选B项。
【小题1】A save“节省”;make“挣得,制作”;donate“捐赠”;receive“收到,得到”。由空后的every penny you earned可知此处应用saving表示“节省你挣的每一个便士”。故选A项。
【小题1】C 由第二段第22个空后的you were in law school可知,此处应用law表示“上法律学校”。故选C项。
【小题1】A what与which是代词,在句子中作主语、宾语或表语;that引导宾语从句时,不作任何成分;where是副词,在从句中作状语。由于本句中told me后缺少直接宾语,所以排除B项和D项。which多用于有选择范围的时候,因此此处应用what表示“我非常感谢你在我九岁那年的一个秋天的下午和我说的那番话。”故选A项。
【小题1】C 由下面的问句以及第22个空后的I was more puzzled可知此处应用puzzled表示作者的困惑。amused“愉快的,开心的”;worried “担心的”;puzzled“迷惑的”;disappointed“失望的”。故选C项。
【小题1】B 由空前的Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying可知,作者的妈妈正和小时候的作者一样,为考试而背课本和学习。孩子们背课本和学习当然是为了考试。故选B项。
【小题1】A ring“回响”,常与in one s ears搭配,表示“在耳边响起”;blow“吹”;fall“摔倒,跌落”;beat“击败,击打”。根据空后的in my ears可知ringing为最佳答案。
【小题1】C choice“选择”;chance“机会”;challenge“挑战”;change“变化”。由上文作者的妈妈学习的样子可知,要完成学业并和作者的爸爸创办公司等对她来说是挑战。故选C项。
【小题1】D 由短文第一句中的modeled可知作者的妈妈是一名模特。故选D项。
【小题1】B in danger“处于危险中”;in action“在积极活动中,在运转中”;in trouble“处于困境”;in charge“负责,掌管”。此处用in action表示“只是看着妈妈不停地忙活,作者就很疲惫了。”故选B项。
【小题1】D e back“回来”;close down“停业,关闭”;go by“(时间)过去,经过”;open up“开启,开创”。听了妈妈的话,作者的整个世界豁然开朗。故选D项。
【小题1】A 由下文的seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements可知此处应用hope表示“作者满怀希望去生活”。故选A项。
【小题1】B description“描述”;statement“陈述”;praise“赞美,表扬”;introduction“介绍”。由第三段第一句中的that statement可知此处应选择statement。故选B项。
【小题1】D secretly“秘密地”;curiously“好奇地”;carelessly“粗心地”;eagerly“热切地,渴望地”。由于妈妈话语的激励,所以作者也渴望接受挑战。故选D项。
【小题1】A 由上文的You did it.可知此处应选择doing与did呼应。故选A项。
