6、d now I could say it is my affection for _20_that makes me a real gardener.语篇解读作者阐述了自己爱上园艺的原因，以及作者对园艺的热爱对其父母的影响。1A.memory BdreamCintention Ddesign解析：作者坦诚爱上园艺，最初的目的和意图(intention)并非是因为热爱大自然，而只是为了和父母对着干。D项的design，主要表示和创作有关的“设计”，也可表示创作文学作品的构思或者提纲，在引申义中，可以表示贬义词“企图或图谋”之意。答案：C2A.please BchangeChelp Dannoy解

7、析：从第三段第一句“At that age，I always did something opposite to whatever my parents did！”可知，这孩子小时候的确很叛逆。她建花圃的最初目的当然也是annoy父母，使父母生气。答案：D3A.doubt BappreciationCsurprise Dexcitement解析：作者的母亲一直以来都是不喜欢园艺的。对于这棵枫树，她自然不会喜欢。B项表“欣赏”；D项表“激动”，明显不符。C项的“惊奇”也和作者想表达的意图没有关系。答案：A4A.collect up BcareCclean up Dcome in解析：这个选项并不

8、难，但是如果同学们没看懂“something else to clean up”，那选起来就有点麻烦了，“something else to clean up”是对rubbish的解释。 答案：C5A.equal BsimilarCsuperior Dopposite解析：考虑到作者年轻时的叛逆个性，应该可以直接选出opposite，作者喜好和父母对着干。答案：D6A.painful BvaluableCupsetting Dinteresting解析：这一题的B项“贵重的”和D项“有趣的”无难度，容易排除。但学生们容易选成painful。 园艺也只是一项家务活儿而已，而作者的父母也只是对其不

9、屑和厌烦而已，故干脆选择不为之。A项“痛苦的”，词义太过。相比而言，C项“心烦的”更适合。答案：C7Ae up Bbreak outChold on Dget through解析：come up发芽；走上前来；出现；break out爆发；hold on继续；不挂断；get through度过，完成。选A，百合花没发芽。答案：A8A.to BwithCin Dby解析：wild with joy欣喜若狂；洋洋得意。答案：B9A.Luckily BCheerfullyCRegularly DEventually解析：此题容易选成cheerfully高高兴兴地。仔细斟酌句子，我们看到“one by

10、 one，the flowers bloomed their heads off.”作者从开始种植百合花的失败，到第一朵玫瑰花开花，再到花朵次第出现，最后自己都被神奇的小花圃所打动，强调的是个心态转变的过程。而整篇文章，作者也想书写自己由最开始的叛逆行为，到真正变为对大自然和园艺艺术的热爱的一个过程。所以，cheerfully在这里显得肤浅。答案：D10A.Instead BHoweverCTherefore DBesides解析：however，表达不管作者的努力，父母还是无动于衷，表转折。答案：B11.A.shouted BlaughedCglanced Djumped解析：“.becau

11、se he found it was troublesome to move around my garden to the driveway.”当父亲去往车道的路都被我的花圃遮挡，每次去取车都要大费周章的时候，谁都会暴跳如雷、大声咆哮的。jump at表示“把握，接受(机会)；欣然接受；匆匆做出(结论等)”的意思。答案：A12.A.convenient BtroublesomeCenjoyable Ddangerous解析：dangerous危险的。答案：B13.A.sadness BdispleasureCdelight Drelief解析：这句话仍然是在讲作者妈妈对她种花成功的不屑和不满

12、。从“I put in her vase my real roses which，in her eyes，were simply weeds rather than flowers”明显可以看出妈妈的这种情绪。A项sadness有点莫名其妙，明显和作者大意相去甚远。答案：B14.A.other than Bmore thanCrather than Dless than 解析：妈妈觉得插在花瓶里真实的玫瑰，与其说是花，不如说是杂草。rather than是最合适的。other than不同于；除了以外；more than和less than都是数量上的比较。答案：C15A.dislike Be

13、ncouragementCthreat Dsuggestion解析：regardless of是“不管；不顾”的意思，不管父母多不喜欢，作者还是坚持我的种花行为。看懂即可选出dislike憎恶；不喜欢。答案：A16A.decided BstoppedCcontinued Dstruggled解析：作者不顾反对，坚持种花，继续享受种花乐趣。A项的decided to enioy.“决定享受乐趣”不好，作者其实在之前已经享受到了种花的乐趣。答案：C17.A.devote BturnCrespond Dlead解析：在培育花木的过程中，作者因为已经对大自然、对花木有了深厚的感情。所以她用亲切的笔调、

14、用拟人的手法写道：“they breathe，they bloom，they respond to care and love.”，所以respond to回应(作者的关爱)是最适当的。devote to.把奉献给；turn to.求助于；转向于；lead to.导致；通向答案：C18A.defeat BsatisfyCrespect Dchallenge解析：此题是对作者当年开始养花的最初目的的诠释。challenge挑战父母的耐心，对着干。答案：D19A.proud BcomfortableCstrange Ddisappointed 解析：作者在变化，作者的父母也在改变。作者在园艺上做出

15、了一番成就，当然会让她的父母为之骄傲。答案：A20A.freedom BlifeCgrowth Dnature解析：主题重现，也和第一段首尾呼应。第一段“My early intention of gardening may not have originated from my love for nature.”，而最后一句，作者不无感叹地说：“And now I could say it is my affection for nature that makes me a real gardener.”。真正让作者坚持下来，变成一个真正的园林工作者的原因，是对大自然的热爱。答案：D.阅读理
