【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(dú)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(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的"I'mnotmuchofagardener.Ilovehavingbeautiful

flowers-butIdon'thaveagoodtrackrecordwhenitcomestomakingthemgrow."我不是個(gè)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(jù)第三段中的"Itwasalongwinter—coldanddark...Deadleaves,

frostandfinallyaheavysnowcoveredtheareawhereI'dplantedthoseflowers,andIsoonforgot

theywerethere."那是一個(gè)漫長的冬天一一又冷又黑......枯葉、霜和最后那場(chǎng)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(cè)作者忘記它們

是因?yàn)橛X得它們熬不過這個(gè)冬天，即沒對(duì)它們抱有希望。故選D。

(3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的"DayafterdayInotedtheflowers'progress.Andday

afterday,thetimeapproachedwhenmysonwouldfinallybehome.”我日復(fù)一日的關(guān)注這花的

成長。一天又一天我的兒子終于要回家了；以及“Andwitheachbrightlycoloredflower,I

markedoffonedayclosertogettingtoholdmysoninmyarmsagain."每開一朵色彩鮮艷的

花，都標(biāo)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(jù)第二段中的"Sheexplainedthatthesebulbswereputintothe

groundinthefallandlaysleepingallwinter.Theyhadallthenutrientstheyneededinsidethe

bulbandwouldcomeoutinthespring."Whenyouseetheleavesofthetinyflowerspushing

towardthesun,you'llknowthatit'salmosttimeforyoursontocomehome."她說這些郁金香

球莖秋天種下，整個(gè)冬天都在土里。它們的球莖內(nèi)有生長所需的營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)，到了春天的就

會(huì)從土里出來。當(dāng)你看到這些小花的葉子朝著太陽的方向生長時(shí)，你就知道你的兒了?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(huì)長出來，這也意味著

作者的兒子快要回來，即花代表著作者兒了?回來的希望。B故選B。

【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需

要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，作者去達(dá)拉斯尋找實(shí)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)，并從中學(xué)到了很多。

(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的"IoverheardthatStubHub,abigcompanyfromagreat

city,SanFrancisco,wasthrowngapartynextdoortomyhotel.IthoughtifIcouldgetan

internship,"可知，作者無意中聽到來自舊金山的一家大公司在自己所住酒店的隔壁開派

對(duì)，她在想自己能否在那家公司得到一個(gè)實(shí)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)，因此，2011年作者去達(dá)拉斯是為了

尋找一個(gè)實(shí)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)，故選D.(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“ByleavingTexas,I

learnedthatitissomuchmorerewardingtotrytheunfamiliarthantostayinthecomfortable."

可知，作者認(rèn)識(shí)到嘗試不熟悉的東西比呆在舒適區(qū)更有意義，也就是說作者從這個(gè)經(jīng)歷中

學(xué)到的最大的教訓(xùn)是跳出舒適區(qū)是有意義的，故選

Bo

(3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的"Iwasn'tinvitedtotheStubHubparty.ButyouknowI'm

thetypeofpersonwhogoesforsomethingshewants."可知，作者沒有被邀請(qǐng)參加派對(duì)，但她

是那種追求她想要的東西的人，由此可見作者很堅(jiān)定，再根據(jù)"Icrashedthepartyandfound

mywaytothepresident.Ikindlyintroducedmyselfandthenaskediftheyhadalegalinternship

program.”可知，作者闖進(jìn)派對(duì)，直接找到董事長進(jìn)行自我介紹并問是否有實(shí)習(xí)項(xiàng)FI，由此

可見作者很大膽，綜合以上兩方面可知作者是堅(jiān)定和大膽的，故選D。

【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考杳，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需

要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，作者去意大利看望一位朋友，帶著沉重的行李，正

在因車站關(guān)閉而不知所措時(shí)，一位汽車修理工慷慨幫忙的經(jīng)歷，說明了一個(gè)善舉可以給別

人帶來溫暖。

(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的"ItooksometimeoffinearlyMaytovisitafriend,who

wasthedirectorofamuseuminViterbo,incentralItaly."可知1988年，作者去意大利中部看

望一位朋友，故選B。

thecorrectplatform,Iquicklyrealizedthatthestationwasclosedforanupgrade(JT級(jí)).Fora

momentmymindwentblankanddidnotknowwhattodo."當(dāng)我到達(dá)車站并試圖找到正確的站

開了幾分鐘車到卜一站。我卜了車，卸卜行李，然后和他握了握手，表示感謝。他也笑了

笑，開車走了。在作者遇到困難的情況下，這位汽車修理工慷慨的幫忙。由此推斷出這位

汽車修理工慷慨又熱心，故選B.

(4)考查主旨大意。最后一歿"IwasmovedsomuchbyhisgenerositythatIhavenever

forgottenhim."他的慷慨大方使我深受感動(dòng)，我從未忘記他，是全文的主題句，結(jié)合全文內(nèi)
