Ⅳ.阅读理解 (2024·深圳高二检测)I stare at the row of jars filled with my parents' homemade tomato sauce.Every time I wonder：“Should I really use one？” I have been saving these jars like precious treasures.No matter how hard I try to find something instead，nothing compares.Store­bought sauces? It just doesn't taste right.It doesn't taste like home. During the tomato season，all my family were a lot busier than usual.My parents would use the basement as an area for letting the tomatoes they had collected locally ripen.Like the other Italian families in the area，we would then take them to the garage when they were ripe enough.There they were cleaned and boiled.Once stewed(炖)，whole tomatoes were passed through my father's homemade machine used to separate the sauce from the skins.Jars at the ready，we filled them with sauce and seasoning.They would then be lined up and ready to use. My parents would make more than just sauce every fall.I loved it when they would season all the pork sausage.We would fry the meat，tasting it before making the separate sausages.My parents expertly hand­tied the sausages while I would poke(戳) them all over.These were my family's traditions. These traditions were hard to maintain when my father got ill.After being diagnosed with cancer in 2019，he spent most of his time in hospital.In September that year he came home，on the same weekend we decided to continue the tradition.I have glorious(美好的) memories of that day as we once again made the sauce.It was a beautiful but short­lived moment.My father died soon after. Every time I go to reach for one of the jars，something stops me.My mother，ever practical，was visiting us recently and just stared at them.“You should use these or they will go to waste.” What will it feel like to use that last jar? It would mean the end of an era(时代).Who knows? Maybe it's time to bring new traditions to life. 1．Why does the author attach so great importance to the jars containing the tomato sauce? A．The recipe is unique. B．The sauce is delicious. C．They remind him of home. D．It took great patience to make them. 2．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．The time spent making tomato sauce.

C．To introduce his family traditions. D.To complain about his tough past experience. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者家里每年制作番茄酱的传统在父亲去世之后就终止了，作者意识到是时候在生活中引入新的传统了。 1．C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I have been saving these jars like precious treasures ...It doesn't taste like home.”可知，作者如此重视这些盛有番茄酱的坛子是因为这些坛子让作者想起了家的味道。故选C。 2．D　[解析]主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Like the other Italian families ...and ready to use.”可知，本段主要讲述作者一家制作番茄酱的过程。故选D。 3．D　[解析]推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“My mother，ever practical，was visiting us recently and just stared at them.‘You should use these or they will go to waste.’”可推断出作者的母亲是一位很务实的人。故选D。 4．A　[解析]推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要围绕着作者家里过去制作番茄酱的传统展开，所以写作目的是回忆过去的家庭传统。故选A。 Ⅴ.完形填空 Draper，the owner of a second­hand bookstore，was sorting through a pile of old books when an envelope fell from one.Inside was an undated 1 and a faded photo of a woman holding a little girl on her lap.The letter said if Bethany was 2 it，it meant the author had died.
