45、下面短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。 Crying Mother Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was shocked into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, crying with the second- hand green typewriter on the t
46、able. She told me that she couldnt type fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how little I understood the pressures on her.

I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face against my shoulder and sobbed (啜泣). I held her t

49、and hurt and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought comfort in her arms. A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station offered. “Its a job I can do, though，” she said simply. But the evening practice on the cold green typewriter continued. I had a very different feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping away across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type. 参考答案： 【阅读】 1- 4BCDA 5- 7DBB 8- 10ADC 【七选五】 1- 5DCAFG 【完型
