【正文】 rea of green in spring. a changeable life.【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，作者的兒子去了中東，作者感到孤獨和寂寞。一位朋友送來了一盒郁金香球莖，這種花的種植，給作者帶來了希望。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第一段中的“I39。m not much of a gardener. I love having beautiful flowersbut I don39。t have a good track record when it es to making them grow.”我不是個好園丁，我喜歡漂亮的花，但我在種植方面沒有良好的記錄，可知，作者雖然喜歡花，但不擅長種花。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據第三段中的“It was a long winter — cold and dark …Dead leaves, frost and finally a heavy snow covered the area where I39。d planted those flowers, and I soon forgot they were there.”那是一個漫長的冬天——又冷又黑……枯葉、霜和最后那場雪覆蓋了我種那些花的地方，我很快救忘記了它們的存在，可知，冬天很冷、很長，故推測作者忘記它們是因為覺得它們熬不過這個冬天，即沒對它們抱有希望。故選D。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據最后一段中的“Day after day I noted the flowers39。 progress. And day after day, the time approached when my son would finally be home. ”我日復一日的關注這花的成長。一天又一天我的兒子終于要回家了；以及“And with each brightly colored flower, I marked off one day closer to getting to hold my son in my arms again. ”每開一朵色彩鮮艷的花，都標志著我離再次把兒子抱在懷里的日子又近了一天，可知，每開一朵花就代表作者兒子的歸來近了一天，即花就是兒子回來的希望。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據第二段中的“She explained that these bulbs were put into the ground in the fall and lay sleeping all winter. They had all the nutrients they needed inside the bulb and would e out in the spring. 39。39。When you see the leaves of the tiny flowers pushing toward the sun, you39。ll know that it39。s almost time for your son to e home. ”她說這些郁金香球莖秋天種下，整個冬天都在土里。它們的球莖內有生長所需的營養(yǎng)物質，到了春天的就會從土里出來。當你看到這些小花的葉子朝著太陽的方向生長時，你就知道你的兒子差不多該回家了，可知，本文主要講述了冬天種下的郁金香球莖在春天會長出來，這也意味著作者的兒子快要回來，即花代表著作者兒子回來的希望。B故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，同時根據上下文的邏輯關系，進行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。3．閱讀理解 For the past few months, my threeyearold daughter has spent an hour every week learning a foreign language. She walks into a small room in a local school, where she and a handful of three and fouryearold spend the next hour dancing to “La Vaca Lola”, a song about a Spanish cow, creating finger puppets(木偶) to voice what they like and don39。t like (me gusta, no me gusta) and shouting out which animals are big (grande) or small (pequeno). She tells us little about the classes. In fact, for the first few weeks, nothing at all. I begin to wonder if it was a huge mistake (each lesson works out at about 163。9) but then I show her “La Vaca Lola” on YouTube. She shouts vaca with enthusiasm and with what I hope is a Spanish accent. The wish to enroll(使……加入) her in language lessons came, like most things, gradually and then in a sudden rush. In my day job, I read and edit stories about the Chinese economy. For a long time, I felt that it would be good for her to learn another language but I had no great plan as to when. Then I read Edward Luce39。s The Retreat of Western Liberalism and all my thoughts and worry about the economy bined into a panic. Waking in a sweat, it seemed obvious that if my daughter was to have any kind of future, she would have to learn another language. Ideally (理想地) immediately. I thought about Mandarin Chinese, one of the top 10 languages most important for our future, according to the British Council (others include Arabic, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Dutch and Japanese). But there were no classes for young children nearby. There were, however, local Spanish classes—the numberone language on the list. When she started to sing Incy Wincy Spider in Spanish and English—helped by a Spanish nursery workerour decision was made.（1）What can we learn about the author39。s daughter from the first paragraph?

I never know how to answer. My travel decisions assumed a new gravity nine years ago after I suffered a stroke. To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, I39。d have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀釋劑) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky. I had to think about what was important
