限时规范训练（37） 限时 35分钟 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2022•郑州市高三质检)My mother's phone does strange things. It rings in the middle of the night, and by the time she gets to it，there's no one there. The last time we were talking about this，my mother said，“it never used to happen with the old phone.” “You mean the rotary (转动的) phone? The black one? You still have that？” “Oh yeah, I have it.” We had two of them. One was at the bar downstairs and the other was near the kitchen table upstairs. When the phone rang, I ran to answer it. I wanted to answer it. Someone somewhere thought of me, or they needed me. They took the time to look up my number, sit down and talk to me. I remember rolling the phone cord between my fingers as I talked, just like some other girls. Sometimes, my eyes would dance as my brain drew the story a friend was telling. I wasn't going anywhere or doing anything because I was already somewhere and doing something important. I was listening and connecting. I was saying yes to this conversation and saying no to anything else. When the landline was the only line, long-distance charges used to kick in at the city limits. My mother would often say，“You pay by the word, so pick a few and say them fast.” My parents used to get up at 4 in the morning to call relatives back home. My memories of those conversations are warm and loving. In those few moments, there was nothing else more important. That black phone was their only way to be together. Now we take it for granted that we can talk to anyone anywhere. Yet we forget that making that call is about the connection. It's about human hearts thirsting for their lifeblood. So if you are planning to call someone to talk, cry，celebrate or whatever, then call them. But show them that talking to them is more valuable than anything else. Devote yourself to the phone call for 5 minutes, or 10 or 60. Give yourself over to it. Fill people's hearts and let them fill yours. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。人们打电话是为了保持联系、联络感情，所以打电话时要用心专注。 1．What can be learn
