Question

【题目】Bags of Love

Last year, I was assigned to work at an office near my mother’s house, so I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped out with the housework and contributed to the groceries.

After less than a week, I started noticing that the groceries were running out pretty quickly — we were always suddenly out of something. 【1】(wonder) how my mum could consume them so quickly, I began observing her daily routine for two weeks. To my surprise, I found that she would pack a paper bag full of canned goods and head out every morning at about nine. Eventually, I decided to follow her and 【2】 happened truly amazed me. She was taking the food to the refugee camp, in 【3】 she distributed it to children.

I asked around and found out that my mum was very well known in the area. The kids were very friendly with her and even looked up to her as if she were their own mother. Then it hit me —why would she not want to tell me about what she 【4】(do)? Was she worried about how I would react or that I would stop 【5】(buy) the groceries if I found out?

When she got home, I told her about my discovery. 【6】 she could react, I gave her a big hug and told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret 【7】 me. She told me that some of the children lived with an older lady in a shelter while others slept on the streets. For years, my mum has been helping out by giving them whatever food she could spare. I was so impressed by 【8】 selfless she was.

【8】how

【解析】

试题分析：本文是篇记叙文，作者在无意中发现妈妈在偷偷地帮助困境中的儿童，赞美了妈妈善良无私的美丽品质。

【1】Wondering 考查现在分词做状语。动词wonder与本句主语I构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词wondering在句中作状语。

【2】what 考查主语从句。此处what引导主语从句，what happened在句中作主语。句意：发生的事情真的让我很惊讶。

【3】which 考查定语从句。此定语从句的先行词是the refugee camp，指物，关系代词在定语从句中作介词in的宾语，故用which，in which相当于关系副词where。

【4】had done 考查时态。根据上下文可知，＂我＂被派到妈妈家附近工作，这是过去发生的事情，而妈妈帮助难民是我来这里工作之前就发生的事情，所以使用过去完成时表示过去的过去发生的事情。

【5】buying 考查动词短语。stop to do sth.停下来去做另外一件事情；stop doing sth.停止做某事。句意：妈妈是担忧如果我发现了这件事情我的反应是什么或者担忧我不再给她买食品杂货吗？根据句意可知使用stop doing sth.。

【6】Before 考查连词。before引导时间状语从句，此处意为＂还没来得及……就……＂。句意：她还没有来得及反应过来，我就给了她一个大大的拥抱并告诉她这件事情不必对我保密。

【7】from 考查动词短语。keep a secret to sb.对某人保密。句意：她还没有来得及反应过来，我就紧紧地抱着她并告诉她这件事情不必对我保密。

【8】how 考查宾语从句。本句中表语从句how selfless she was作介词by的宾语，因为selfless是形容词，所以使用how来引导这个从句，用法和感叹句类似。
