科目：高中英语 来源：2013届山西省忻州实验中学高三第一次模拟考试英语试卷（带解析） 题型：阅读理解
Sir,
Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set (eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a ‘remarkable’ price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare’s plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.
Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.
You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.
I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.
Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.
Yours faithfully,
SIMON WALKER

Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia(栀子花) was delivered anonymously to me at my house. No card or note came with it. Calls to the florist (花商) were always in vain ---- it was a cash purchase. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's identity.
But I never stopped imagining who the anonymous sender might be.
My mother often contributed to these imaginings. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness who might be showing appreciation. Perhaps the neighbor I'd help when she was unloading a car full of groceries. Or maybe it was the old man across the street whose mail I retrieved(取回) during the winter so he wouldn't have to venture down his icy steps.
When I was 17, a boy broke my heart. The night he called for me the last time, I cried myself to sleep. When I awoke in the morning, there was a message scribbled(乱涂) on my mirror in red lipstick: “Heartily know, when half-gods go, the gods arrive.” I thought about that quotation from Emerson (爱默生) for a long time, and I left it where my mother had written it. When I finally went to get the glass cleaner, my mother knew everything was all right again. I don't remember ever slamming(砰地关上) my door in anger at her and shouting, “You just don't understand!” because she did understand.
One month before my high-school graduation, my father died suddenly of a heart attack. My feelings ranged from grief to abandonment, fear and over-whelming anger that my dad was missing some of the most important events in my life. I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation, the senior-class play and the prom-events(舞会) that I had worked on and looked forward to.
But my mother, in the midst of her own grief, would not hear of my missing out any of those things. The day before my father died, she and I had gone shopping for a prom dress and found a spectacular(引人注目的) one. Wearing it made me feel like a princess, but it was the wrong size, and when my father died the next day, I forgot all about the dress.
My mother didn't. The day before the prom, I found that dress-in the right size, draped over the living room sofa, presented to me -- beautifully, artistically and lovingly. I didn't care about having a new dress, but my mother did. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable, creative and imaginative.
My mother died when I was 22, only ten days after I was married. That was the year the gardenias stopped coming.
26. The underlined word “anonymously” in Paragraph 1 is the closest in meaning to________.
A. secretly B. happily C. sadly D. openly
27. Why did Mother try to arouse the author’s imagination about the gardenia sender?
A. Because she wanted her child to feel cherished and loved not just by her but by the world.
B. Because she had a great curiosity like a child.
C. Because she was romantic and she once experienced such the same thing at her young age.
D. Because she wanted to give her child some tips about the gardenia sender.
28. We can infer from the passage that________.
A. the gardenia sender kept sending flowers to the author for 22 years.
B. the author showed little interest in her graduation prom
C. after the author’s father died, Mother bought her a dress to the prom
D. Mother care how her child felt and gave her the ability to see beauty even in the face of adversity (厄运)
29. According to the passage, who was probably the gardenia sender?
A. Father B. A neighbor who was often helped by the author
C. Mother D. The old man across the street
30. The best title for this passage would be “__________”.
A. A romantic mother B. The mystery of the white gardenia
C. My anecdote D. Mother and I
