Question

【題目】 A young woman took great pride in growing flowers in her yard. Her grandmother had taught her to love and care for flowers, so her yard was full of beautiful flowers.

One day, she found a flower that she had never seen before in a shop. “I must have it," she said to herself, and she ordered it. When it arrived, she planted it at the foot of a stone wall at the back of her yard. It grew vigorously, with beautiful green leaves all over it. Day after day, she continued to take care of it, but there were no flowers.

One morning，as she stood looking at the plant, she felt disappointed. She wondered why her plant hadn't bloomed (開花).

However, at this moment, her neighbor invited her to his yard and said, "Thank you so much! You can't imagine how much I have enjoyed the flowers that you planted." The young woman walked through the gate into her neighbor's yard. She saw that on the other side of the wall the plant was full of flowers.

They were, indeed，the most beautiful flowers she had ever seen. The plant had grown up through the crevices (裂縫）in the wall.

Just because you can’t see the results of your labor (勞動), it doesn’t mean that there isn’t any fruit.

短文大意：本文通過一個故事告訴我們，做一件事 時也許看不見好的結(jié)果，但這并不意味著我們沒有任何收獲。

【1】1題： B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句Her grandmother had taught her to love and care for flowers, so her yard was full of beautiful flowers. 可知，是她的祖母教她照顧花。本題可以采取“找讀”的方法，Her grandmother 是關(guān)鍵詞，從而找出問題的答案。故選 B。

【2】2題： D詞義猜測題。根據(jù)句意：它生長得很旺盛，上面全都是美麗的綠葉。根據(jù)后半句with beautiful green leaves all over it，采取細讀的方法，細細體味“上面全都是美麗的綠葉”，可推知，此詞是“旺盛地”的意思。故選D。

【3】3題： C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第二行You can't imagine how much I have enjoyed the flowers that you planted.可知，鄰居因為喜歡她種的花而感謝她。先閱讀問題，帶著問題在文中尋找答案。故選C.

【4】4題： D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第二行You can't imagine how much I have enjoyed the flowers that you planted.可知，鄰居非常喜歡她種的花，自然認為花很棒。故選D。
