五、阅读理解。（2025·江苏无锡·期中）
I never thought much about my name until we came to Mango Street. Before that, we were always moving. When the pipes broke at our last apartment and the landlord refused to fix them, that was the final push. My parents found this house, our own house on Mango Street. No rent to pay, no house owner. But it wasn't the house they had promised.
My father, holding a lottery ticket(彩票), would describe our future home: white, with a big yard, real stairs inside, running water, a basement, and three washrooms. My mother, in her bedtime stories, painted the same picture. The house on Mango Street is small and old. Its bricks are crumbling. The windows are small, and the front door is hard to open. There are no great elms(榆树), just four small ones. There's one washroom for all of us. The stairs are just ordinary hallway stairs.
I thought I had accepted this. But a sharp memory often returns. A cleaner from my school saw me playing outside our old flat. “Where do you live?” she asked.
“There,” I said, pointing to the third floor with its peeling(脱落) paint.
“You live there?” The way she said it made me feel like nothing.
This feeling stayed with me, like a quiet friend, until my English class this week. Ms Rivera asked us to draw our “dream house”. My hand seemed to move on its own, guided by my father's lottery dreams and my mother's bedtime stories. I drew a white house with a green yard, real stairs, and three washrooms. I even added a little yellow bird in a tree.
Holding up my drawing, I felt a familiar pang of shame. It wasn't real. But then, Alicia, who also lives on my street, whispered, “It's beautiful, Esperanza. It looks like a real home.” She didn't say her home was like that. She said it looked like one. And in that difference, I found a strange comfort. My name means “hope”, but it also means sadness and waiting. Maybe a house is the same. Maybe it can be both what it is and what it could be. I pinned the drawing to my wall. It is not a lie, but a target. For the first time, the distance between Mango Street and that white house feels like a distance I can cross.
(
A. Strong and new.
B. Weak and broken.
C. Bright and red.
D. Repaired and clean.
(
A. From shame to acceptance, seeing it as an aim for her future.
B. From hope to loss, realizing it was impossible to have one.
C. From excitement to boredom, losing interest in the drawing.
D. From sadness to anger, saying her parents caused their situation.
(
A. My dream house
B. A special drawing
C. The house on Mango Street
