②Daddy had long smart fingers (指头) that could make lots of paper toys for me to play with. His hands could tie my hair beautifully. That’s why I felt happy when the other students talked about my hairstyle. I kept it to myself for years. His hands could paint a second-hand bike to look new. I got one on my tenth birthday.
③Daddy’s creative hands were also useful and hard-working. They could fly a kite high in the sky as well as get it down from the top of a tree. They could wash my white dress clean, which was my favourite one. To my surprise, those hands fed seven children after Mum died. Daddy always tried his best to do everything for me.
④Not only were Daddy’s hands great, they could also send me a note full of love. When I was ill, he made me feel better. He would take a small blanket (毯子),warm it up and wrap it around my small cold feet with his loving hands. When I was worried about something, Daddy would often hand me a cup of hot milk and talk with me. He would say “The best is always to come, my dear.” to relax my heart.
⑤Daddy’s hands were fantastic. They had the knowledge (知识) and power to move mountains. They made the impossible possible.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者通过父亲那双灵巧、勤劳且充满爱意的手,展现了父亲对她无微不至的关爱和家庭的温暖。

词义猜测题。根据“His hands could paint a second-hand bike to look new. I got one on my tenth birthday.”可知“one”指的是父亲翻新过的自行车,故选B。

D
When I started middle school, I noticed many changes in myself compared to primary school days. In the past, I needed my parents to help me with homework every day, especially with math problems and writing assignments. But now, I can finish my homework as well as any of my classmates independently. I’ve learned to manage (管理) my time better and organize my study plan without others’ help.
My interests have changed too. In primary school, I enjoyed watching cartoons most and would spend hours in front of the television. Now, I find reading books more interesting, especially adventure stories and science books. I also like playing sports more than before—basketball has become my favorite activity after school.
Another big change is in making friends. I used to be quite shy, but now I’ve become more outgoing. I’ve made more friends than I had in primary school because I’m more willing to talk to new people. I’ve found that I can work with others as well as I work alone, and group projects (项目) have become much easier for me.
These changes make me feel happier and more confident about myself. Middle school has helped me grow in ways I never expected (期待), teaching me to be more independent and friendly. I’m proud of the person I’m becoming and look forward to learning even more in the future.

When I started middle school, I noticed many changes in myself compared to primary school days. In the past, I needed my parents to help me with homework every day, especially with math problems and writing assignments. But now, I can finish my homework as well as any of my classmates independently. I’ve learned to manage (管理) my time better and organize my study plan without others’ help.
My interests have changed too. In primary school, I enjoyed watching cartoons most and would spend hours in front of the television. Now, I find reading books more interesting, especially adventure stories and science books. I also like playing sports more than before—basketball has become my favorite activity after school.
Another big change is in making friends. I used to be quite shy, but now I’ve become more outgoing. I’ve made more friends than I had in primary school because I’m more willing to talk to new people. I’ve found that I can work with others as well as I work alone, and group projects (项目) have become much easier for me.
These changes make me feel happier and more confident about myself. Middle school has helped me grow in ways I never expected (期待), teaching me to be more independent and friendly. I’m proud of the person I’m becoming and look forward to learning even more in the future.
