语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章以鸟笼为线索，讲述因为观念不同，作者和妈妈渐渐疏远，但随着年龄的增长，他们的关系得以恢复，鸟笼现在代表着作者对妈妈最好的记忆。
1. A 根据句意和常识可知，给房子刷漆上色要讲究色彩搭配，match the main house(与主屋相匹配)，符合句意。故选 A。
2. C 根据“slipped out(滑落)”和“fell off(掉下)”两个动词短语可知，鸟笼应该是被提了起来。故选 C。
3. B 根据“never bear the tapping of a hammer”和常识可知，鸟笼是精巧脆弱的物件。故选 B。
4. A 根据上文“a nail slipped out and a roof slat (板条) fell off”可知，作者要把钉子放回去，鸟笼才不会散。故选 A。
5. D 根据“actually a big ____ for my mother”和“it meant nothing to me”可知，对作者和妈妈来说，这个鸟笼的价值是不一样的，作者根本不在乎它，用 While 引导让步状语从句，表示对比。故选 D。
6. B 根据 big 和 nothing 的对比可知，句中是在对比对于鸟笼的不同态度，妈妈花了大价钱购买的东西，作者却看不上眼，a big purchase 指“一笔大额采购”。故选 B。
7. C 根据下文“Coming out at the age of eighteen completed the gap and as an adult I would ____ seeing her for years.”可知，作者成年后，很多年都没有见过妈妈，由此可知他们关系冷漠、疏远。故选 C。
8. A 根据下文“but I just wanted to be ____ and that was why I was writing”可知，作者是搞写作的，所以作者完成的是小说。故选 A。
9. C 根据下文“but I just wanted to be ____ and that was why I was writing”中 but 可知，妈妈的想法与作者不一样，她的想法是功利和虚荣的，她想成为名人的妈妈。故选 C。
10. D 根据句中“but I just wanted to be...”和下文“the gap”可知，作者和妈妈观念不同，作者写作的目的很单纯，与妈妈的功利与虚荣相反，只想让别人知道他的想法，被听到(be heard)。故选 D。
11. B 根据“Coming out at the age of eighteen completed the gap”可推知，作者和妈妈的代沟在他 18 岁时到达极点，作者离开了家，“go without seeing her for years”表示“多年没见她”。故选 B。
12. A 根据 But 可知，下文语意有转折，再根据“we each made efforts to...”可推知，作者和妈妈都想要忘记过去，架起沟通的桥梁，努力去弥合他们之间的分歧。故选 A。
13. A 根据下文“Mom has been away several years. The birdcage sits on the shelf now.”可知，代表着作者对妈妈的记忆的鸟笼，在妈妈去世多年后仍在作者的书架上，由此可知，他们的关系得到了恢复，做出的努力有效果。故选 A。
14. B 鸟笼代表着作者对妈妈的记忆，如果散了，他当然会修好它。故选 B。
