10.Several times my daughter had telephoned to say,"Mum,you must come and see the daffodils (水仙花) before they are over."I wanted to go,but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead."I will  come next Tuesday,"I promised,a little unwillingly,on her third call.
Next Tuesday got cold and rainy.But since I had promised,I drove there.When I finally walked into Carolyn's house and greeted my grandchildren,I said,"Forget the daffodils,Carolyn!The road is invisible in the cloud and fog,and now there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see!"
My daughter smiled calmly and said,"We drive in this all the time,Mum."
After about 20minutes,we turned onto a small road and I saw a small church(教堂).On the side of the church,I saw a hand-lettered sign that read,"Daffodil Garden."
We got out of the car and each took a child by the hand,and I followed Carolyn down the path.Then,we came to a corner of the path.Then,I wondered at the sight before me.There were five acres (英畝) of flowers.
"But who has done this?"I asked Carolyn.
"It's just one woman,"Carolyn answered."She lives there.That's her house."
Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-shaped house that looked small and modest.We walked up to  the house.On the door,we saw a poster."Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking"was the headline(標(biāo)題).
The first answer was a simple one."50,000bulbs(球莖),"it read.
The second answer was,"One at a time,by one woman.Two hands,two feet,and very little brain."
The third answer was,"Began in 1958."
For me,that moment was a life-changing experience.I thought of this woman whom I had never met,who began more than fifty years ago-one bulb at a time-to bring her beauty and joy to the field.

A.she was not interested in them
B.they were nearly over
C.the weather was not good enough
D.it took a long time to drive there

A.不平坦的                    
B.看不見的
C.狹窄的                     
D.到頭的
36.How many people went to see the daffodils with the writer on that Tuesday?C
A.One.
B.Two.
C.Three.
D.Four.
37.What could the writer probably learn from this experience?A

B.It's never too late to learn.
C.We can change the world by growing flowers.
D.We must put the interest of others above our own.

分析 好幾次,我的女兒打電話對(duì)我說,"媽媽,在這些水仙花調(diào)謝前,你必須過來看看它們."我雖然想去,但是,一想到從拉古納(美國(guó)新墨西哥州的一個(gè)地名)到箭頭湖(美國(guó)加利福尼亞州的一個(gè)地名)有兩小時(shí)的車程.當(dāng)女兒第三次打電話來時(shí),雖然有一些不情愿,我還是答應(yīng)她了:"下個(gè)星期二,我會(huì)去."
 結(jié)果,在約定的星期二,早晨天氣寒冷,而且下起了雨.但是,我已經(jīng)答應(yīng)女兒了,只好硬著頭皮開車去到那里.等我終于走進(jìn)卡羅琳的家里時(shí),我愉快地?fù)肀Я宋业膶O子孫女,和他們打招呼.
 我說道:"卡羅琳,別管那些水仙花了!天陰著,霧又大,很難看見路,現(xiàn)在,除了想見到你和孩子們,這世上我什么也不想見了!"
 女兒平靜地微笑著說:"我們一直在這路上開車,媽媽"
 大約過了二十分鐘之后,我們駕車駛到了一條碎石路,我看到了一個(gè)小教堂,在離教堂一側(cè)遠(yuǎn)的地方,有一塊手寫的路牌:"水仙花園."
我們下了車,一人手牽一個(gè)孩子,沿著小徑前行,卡羅琳在前,我在后.我們轉(zhuǎn)過一個(gè)彎,我抬頭望去,驚呆了.在我的面前,是一片燦爛的景象:這些花所占的面積大約有五英畝、
"是誰(shuí)造的這個(gè)花園?"我問起卡羅琳.卡羅琳回答說,"一個(gè)女人而已,她就住在這,那兒就是她的家."順著卡羅琳手指的方向,我看到了一幢整潔而又簡(jiǎn)練的A型框架的小房子,我們向那座小屋走去.
 在小屋的門上,貼著一張布告,標(biāo)題是:"我知道您會(huì)提出的疑問的解答."第一個(gè)答案非常簡(jiǎn)單:50000株;第二個(gè)答案是:由一位女子一點(diǎn)一滴地造就.一雙手,一雙腳,一個(gè)腦袋;第三個(gè)答案是:始于1958年.
 對(duì)于我而言,這一刻的經(jīng)歷,改變了我的生活.我心中想著這位我從未謀面的女子,在五十多年前,從種下第一株水仙花球根開始,把她自己所想象的美麗和快樂帶到一個(gè)田野.

解答 34.答案:D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,結(jié)合第一段I wanted to go,but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead可知是因?yàn)橐_兩個(gè)小時(shí)的車才能到,故不想去,故選D.
35.答案:B.詞義理解題.結(jié)合第二段The road is invisible in the cloud and fog,其中的in the cloud and fog天氣是多云下霧的,故路是看不見的,故選B.
36.答案:C.推理判斷題.結(jié)合第五段We got out of the car and each took a child by the hand,and I followed Carolyn down the path可知作者和Carolyn 一人牽著一個(gè)小孩,也就是一共四個(gè)人,也就是有三個(gè)人和作者一起去了,故選C.
37.答案:A.主旨大意題.結(jié)合最后一段who began more than fifty years ago-one bulb at a time-to bring her beauty and joy to the field.在五十多年前,從種下第一株水仙花球根開始,把她自己所想象的美麗和快樂帶到一個(gè)田野.故這篇文章告訴我們做事要像嬰兒一步一步,腳踏實(shí)地,生活中才會(huì)有很大的變化.故選A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 在做閱讀理解題時(shí),猜測(cè)也是一種能力.同樣一篇高難度的文章,對(duì)于一些學(xué)生來講簡(jiǎn)直不知道該如何下手做題才好,但對(duì)于另一些同學(xué)來說,他們能利用自己已有的語(yǔ)言及生活知識(shí),根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,迅速排除邏輯有誤的選項(xiàng),找出最有可能的選項(xiàng).當(dāng)然,方法的使用也是建立在你一定量的訓(xùn)練的基礎(chǔ)上的,想不通過辛勤的勞動(dòng)而找到一種萬能的解題方法,這只能是徒勞的.

5.I had been a happy girl until one day when I was fifteen months old.One of my eyes was badly hurt in an accident.I lost the sight of the eye,with an ugly scar  around it.
Children refused to play games with me.It made me very sad.I always walked,looking at the floor,so that people would not see the ugly face.My mother encouraged me to be brave.She told me,"Alice,hold your head up high and face the world.If you do,it will be OK,and people will see your beautiful soul."Mom's words meant different things to me over the years.

At university,I took part in all kinds of activities.I joined a music club.Then John,a popular musician,came into my life.He didn't mind the scar.We soon fell in love with each other.Two years later,we got married.
My mother's words have been encouraging me to face my problems bravely and believe in myself.
