Jatto didn’t always like 41 to his mother. She spoke only Esan, one of the languages in Nigeria. Wasn’t it a waste of time to read to someone who couldn’t understand? His mother didn’t even realize when he made 42 . Still, she insisted he read aloud every day. “Let’s bottle nuts when you finish reading,” she said in Esan. Jatto shook his head. He had so much homework to do. “I’ll never finish reading.” Jatto said “never” in English because there was no word for never in Esan. “What’s ‘never’?” she asked. Jatto cleared his throat to 43 the English word. “It means I won’t stop reading today, tomorrow, or 44 .” He drew circles in the air. “Nor the day after the day after tomorrow, the day after the day after, the day after …” “Oh, OK! That’s forever,” his mother said. Jatto stared at the nuts. Each one looked delicious. Now would be a 45 time to eat some. But he couldn’t ask. He remembered the 46 he’d drawn in the air. Jatto’s mother whistled. Tam-tam, their cow, came up to them. Jatto could 47 cow-milk air as his mother milked her. Tam-tam’s milk was the best he’d ever tasted. Jatto needed to take his mind off the 48 . “Mama, why do you make me read to you even though you don’t understand?” “I want you to practice speaking English often,” she said. “I can practice English in my head,” he said, not 49 . His mother smiled. “We share our stories aloud with others, not in our heads where 50 can hear them.” Jatto nodded. He’d learned about that in school. She decided to tell him a story and handed him some nuts and milk. “You can eat 51 I talk.” He ate as she started. Soon, Jatto was singing the story with his mother. “You never tell me stories,” he said when they stopped 52 . She sighed. “I used to, but when you started school, I wanted you to focus on English.” “I make a lot of mistakes when I read to you,” Jatto said. His mother 53 . “I guessed so. But I like hearing the sound of your voice while I work.” Jatto knew what she meant. He had enjoyed listening to her story as he bottled the nuts. It made the work seem 54 . “I have an idea,” he said. “Next time, I will read a story to you in English, then I will tell you the same story in Esan. We can even make up songs together.” “Great! And I will tell you stories in Esan and you can say them back to me in English. Let’s ‘never’ stop 55 stories.” Jatto smiled. His mother’s understanding of never was even better than his own. 41．A．talking B．reading C．replying D．listening 42．A．mistakes B．jokes C．efforts D．noises 43．A．speak B．pronounce C．organize D．explain 44．A．the day before B．the last day C．the day after D．in the future 45．A．good B．free C．busy D．bad 46．A．nuts B．bottles C．circles D．cows 47．A．see B．smell C．feel D．hear 48．A．milk B．cow C．story D．food 49．A．alone B．aloud C．kindly D．directly 50．A．nobody B．somebody C．anybody D．everybody 51．A．before B．while C．after D．until 52．A．saying B．eating C．singing D．chatting 53．A．shouted B．cried C．praised D．laughed 54．A．easier B．slower C．heavier D．shorter 55．A．practicing B．telling C．sharing D．writing （2023·江苏镇江·中考真题） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 I remember the year when I was seven years old.
