試題分析：句意：秘書(shū)一直忙到深夜在為總統(tǒng)準(zhǔn)備一份很長(zhǎng)的演講稿�，F(xiàn)在分詞表主動(dòng)，過(guò)去分詞表被動(dòng)。現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語(yǔ)時(shí)，表示分詞的動(dòng)作和句子謂語(yǔ)的動(dòng)作幾乎是同時(shí)發(fā)生的。動(dòng)詞不定式一般做目的狀語(yǔ)，表示的是動(dòng)作將要發(fā)生。從本題中看，work 和prepare這里兩個(gè)動(dòng)作是同時(shí)發(fā)生的，故此處用現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語(yǔ)。由句意可知選B。

考點(diǎn): 考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的用法。

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2016屆浙江省高一下學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

In the kitchen of my mother's houses there has always been a wooden stand with a small notepad and a hole for a pencil.

I’m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can't be the same pencil. The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.

“I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen?”

My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I've always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen these days. ”

Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”

This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible exhibits at every meal.

1.Why has the author's mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?

A. To leave messages.

B. To list her everyday tasks.

C. To note down maths problems.

D. To write down a flash of inspiration（靈感）.

2.What is the author's original opinion about the wooden stand?

A. It has great value for the family.

B. It needs to be replaced by a better one.

C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood.

D. It should be passed on to the next generation.

3.The author feels embarrassed for ______.

A. blaming her mother wrongly

B. giving her mother a lot of trouble

C. not making good use of time as her mother did

D. not making any breakthrough in her field

4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The mother is successful in her career.

B. The family members like traveling.

C. The author had little time to play when young.

D. The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.

5.In the author's mind, her mother is ______.

A. strange in behavior

B. enthusiastic about her research
