北京门头沟区2020年中考英语二模试卷
Mother Tongue (语言)
My name is Jiniku but everyone calls me Joey, including my parents. My father is American but my mother is not. My mother grew up in a country whose name I cannot pronounce correctly. She was educated in French and Latin, Spanish and German.
My mother wrote all day, but never showed anyone what she wrote. She had notebooks she would write in, and a typewriter to straighten out (整理) the final copy.
When she had typed (打字) pages, she put them in a box. This box was deep under the bed that she and my father shared.
There were only two words that she ever said in the real voice, with her real accent (口音), real tongue. I heard her say them only three times in her life. She taught them to me one night as I lay on her legs, sweating (出汗) with fever.
"Jiniku," she said in a low voice. "Jiniku." I focused (集 中) on her voice through my fever, realizing that something had changed. She was speaking from a part of her that she had not opened for a long time. She took my hand, and placed my palm (掌心) over her heart. "Juriszu." She stared out the window. There was a long silence. I could feel her heartbeat, which was calmer and slower than my own. "My name," she said at last, speaking once more in English, "means „dark ocean (海洋).‟ And you, Jiniku, my baby, yours means „life.‟" She looked out the window again. "„Ji‟ is the word for a happy birth. One where everyone lives and there is little pain. „Ni‟ is a tree that had its roots (根) spread far and whose branches (树枝) shelter (庇护) all. „Ku‟ is spirit. You have this all-encompassing (包罗万象的) life." She placed her hand on my heart. "The first and last letters of our names are the same," she said. "Don‟t forget that, Jiniku."

Everyone keeps some important {#blank#}1{#/blank#}and events in mind. I remember very clearly the day when my younger sister was born (出生). It was a(n) {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Saturday in December, and it was snowing. My mother went to the hospital with my father. I stayed home with Aunt Shelly. We {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the room and made the bed for the new baby. And then I made a snowman outside and called it Baby.
There was still no news by dinner time. In the beginning, we were very worried. Aunt Shelly and I both sat {#blank#}4{#/blank#}by the phone. At around 9:15 p.m., suddenly, the phone ring broke the {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. My father said it was a beautiful girl. They named her Emma.
We were very excited to {#blank#}6{#/blank#}the news.
The next day, I got up early before the sun rose because I couldn't wait to see Emma. We made {#blank#}7{#/blank#}way to the hospital because it was hard to walk on the {#blank#}8{#/blank#}road. When we arrived at the hospital, I saw Emma was {#blank#}9{#/blank#}in Mom's arms. She looked so small but really lovely. When I took her hands for the first time, I realized what it meant to be an elder brother—I would protect (保护) her and never let anybody {#blank#}10{#/blank#}her. That's what I have done in the past ten years. And I will keep on doing it in the future.
