jobs，she was forced to carry water every day _5_”并结合“live upon the leftovers of her elder sister”可推知，小女儿整天要做许多工作，靠吃姐姐的剩饭菜生活。4b根据上文中的“the younger daughter had to _3_ hard all day”可推知，小女儿的工作都很辛苦，很累人。5d根据本段的整体内容可知，小女儿过得很艰难。由“she was forced to carry water every day”可推知，小女儿还得每天从很远的地方挑水，这与其艰难的生活境况呼应。6a此处应用when引导定语从句，在从句中作时间状语，修饰先行词one day。7b根据空前的“glad to show a kindness to the old woman”可推知，小女儿答应了老妇人的请求。8d根据下文的“the lady，who was the fairy”可推知，老妇人是仙女变过来的。9d根据语境可知，空处前后句表示逻辑上的并列关系，故选d。10a与“her ill mother”和“her long absence”呼应并结合下文小女儿的道歉可知，此处表示小女儿受到母亲的训斥。11c根据上文中的“every time you speak，from your mouth shall come a flower or a jewel”可知，小女儿以后说话会口吐花儿或者宝石，故选c。lip“嘴唇”，符合语境。12c小女儿突然口吐珍珠和宝石，她的母亲自然很吃惊。astonished“吃惊的”。13b根据上文中的“what is this i see，child”可推知，寡妇很震惊，对小女儿的态度突然转变，柔和了很多，称她为“孩子”。14d小女儿迫切地将自己遇到仙女的经历告诉了母亲。experience“经历”。15bget sb.to do sth.意为“让某人做某事”，符合语境。16d与上文中的“the poor girl”呼应可推知，这里指可怜的小女儿。17c 与上文中的“one day _6_ she had just filled her pot at the fountain”呼应可推知，大女儿也来到喷泉那里。18a 与上文中的“an old trembling woman asked her for a drink of water”呼应可推知，一个漂亮的女士向大女儿讨水喝。19a与下文中的“your rudeness”呼应可推知，当时大女儿举止很粗鲁，与上文的“the impatient girl”呼应，故选a。20c结合语境可知，此处表示仙女要送给大女儿一份与她的粗鲁相匹配的礼物。equal“比得上”。四、教材与话题写作()用本单元所学知识完成下列句子。1随着工业的发展，产生了越来越多的温室气体，地球在逐渐变暖。(greenhouse gas)_ 答案：with the development of industry, more and more greenhouse gases
