I had been picked to be the princess in the school play，and for weeks my mother had rehearsed (排练) my lines so hard with me.But no matter how easily I acted at home，hardly had I stepped on stage when every word escaped me，making me pessimistic.Finally，my teacher asked me to change to a narrator's (解说员) part.Her words，kindly expressed，still hurt，especially when I saw my part go to another girl. I didn't tell my mother what had happened that day.But she sensed my pain.Instead of suggesting we practice my lines，she asked if I wanted to walk in the yard. Under the rose vine，we could see yellow dandelions (蒲公英)，as if a painter had crammed our landscape with shades of gold.I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion.“I'm going to dig up all these weeds，” she said，pulling it up by its roots.“From now on，we'll have only roses in this garden.” “But I like dandelions，” I argued.“All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions.” My mother asked thoughtfully，“Yes，every flower gives pleasure in its own way，doesn't it？” I nodded，pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too，” she added.I burst into tears，my heart swelling with a mixture of relief and regret as I told her what had happened. “But you will be a beautiful narrator，” she said，encouraging me as she did.“The narrator's part is important，too.” Composing myself gradually，I began to accept the narrator's part.Then came the performance day.I was still nervous，but it was at that very moment that I found a dandelion in my pocket.It was obvious that my mom secretly put the flower there，which magically gave me confidence. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。作者的母亲通过要拔掉蒲公英，只留下玫瑰的做法来教育她：每个人、每个角色都可以是很精彩的。 1．Why did the author get changed to the narrator's part? A．She was shy. B．She lacked practice. C．She disliked the former role. D．She totally forgot the lines. 答案：D 2 3 1 4 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“But no matter how easily I acted at home，hardly had I stepped on stage when every word escaped me，making me pessimistic.”可知，无论作者在家里排练时多轻松，她只要一上台就会忘词。因此，作者被换成了解说员的角色是因为她完全忘了台词。故选D。 2 3 1 4 2．What did her mother do when the author felt upset? A．Her mother asked her what had happened patiently. B．Her mother insisted on her practicing the lines. C．Her mother made her realize every role counted.

A．Sympathetic but strict. B．Understanding and wise. C．Passionate but anxious. D．Curious and easy­going. 答案：B 2 3 1 4 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，作者没有告诉母亲那天发生了什么，但母亲却感受到了作者的难过，并询问作者是否想去院子里走走，由此可推测，母亲是善解人意的，即understanding；根据文章内容可知，母亲通过自己的做法让作者意识到每个角色都很重要，由此可知，母亲是充满智慧的，即wise。故选B。A.有同情心但很严格的；C.热诚但焦虑的；D.有好奇心且易相处的。 2 3 1 4 4．What does the text mainly tell us? A．All that glitter is not gold. B．Action speaks louder than words. C．Constant dripping wears away a stone. D．Every individual can make a difference. 答案：D 2 3 1 4 解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲的是在作者遇到不顺心的事情时，作者的母亲通过自己的做法让作者明白了“每个角色都很重要”这一道理。D项“每个人都能有所作为”是文章主题的升华，故选D。A.闪光的不一定都是金子；B.行动胜于言辞；C.水滴石穿。 2 3 1 4 Ⅳ.完形填空 A few years ago my wife and I took a trip to Costa Rica.Upon arrival we 1 a car and headed out to our first destination that was a few hours away.After about a 20­minute drive I found myself practically 2 in the unmarked streets and dirty roads.Upset，I turned to the map app in my phone for help.
