the road is invisible (看不见的) in the cloud and fog, and there is nothing in the world except you and these children that i want to see！”my daughter smiled calmly and said，“we drive in this weather all the time, mum. you will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience.”after about twenty minutes, we turned onto a small road and i saw a small church. on the far side of the church, i saw a handlettered sign that read “daffodil garden”we got out of the car and each took a childs hand, and i followed carolyn down the path. then, we turned a corner of the path, and i looked up and gasped. before me lay the most beautiful sight! there were five acres of flowers！“but who has done this？” i asked carolyn.“its just one woman，”carolyn answered.“thats her home，” carolyn pointed to a wellkept aframe house that looked small and modest in the midst of all that glory. we walked up to the house. on the patio (平台), we saw a poster.“answers to the questions i know you are asking” was the headline.the first answer was a simple one.“50,000 bulbs (鳞茎)，”it read. the second answer was，“one at a time, by one woman.” the third answer was，“began in 1958.”i thought of this woman whom i had never met, who, more than fifty years before, had begunone bulb at a timeto bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top.【语篇解读】一位女士，五十多年前开始种植水仙花。她一次种植一株，现在她5英亩的花园里有五万株水仙花，构成一幅令人陶醉的美景。【篇章结构】段落关键词大意推测第一部分p1-2my daughter had telephoned ；i promised；女儿邀请，承诺答应第二部分p3-4forget the daffodils；nothing in the world except you见到女儿第三部分p5-6never forgive yourself if you miss this experience ；the most beautiful sight；saw a poster来到水仙园第四部分p7thought of this woman；bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top有美景想到创造美景的人【信息提取】1the author didnt go to see the daffodils at first because _.a. she was not interested in themb. they were growing on the mountain topc. the weather was not good enoughd. it was not easy for her to drive there2what do we know about the woman living in the aframe house?a. she must be out of mind.b. she acted as a gardener there.c. it took her great determination to grow the daffodils.d. she was poor and made her living by selling the daffodils.3what could the author probably learn from this experience?a. nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it.b. we must put the interests of others above our own.c. we can change the world by growing flowers.d. its never too late to learn.4what would be the best title for the passage?a. an unforgettable experienceb. beautiful daffodilsc. one bulb at a timed. i love daffodils【解析】1.解析：答案：d细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句可知作者感觉路途太远，不太想去看水仙花。2.解析：答案：c推理判断题。根据文章的倒数第二段可知，一位女士，自1958年以来，每次只种植一棵花茎，现在她5英亩的花园里有五万株水仙花。由此可以推断：在种植水仙花的过程中，这位女士下了很大的决心去种植水仙花。3.解析：答案：a推理判断题。从全文内容可知，这片美丽的水仙花正是一位女士50多年来艰辛付出的结果。虽然她一个人，每次只种植一株，但是她长期的坚持不懈使人们能够欣赏到美丽的风景。这个故事说明了：世上无难事，只怕有心人。4.解析：答案：c主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，c项揭示了这个故事的真谛：每次栽培一株，50多年的坚持不懈培育出有五万株水仙花的花园。【词汇扩充】1. promise vt.允诺，许诺； 给人以的指望或希望vi.许诺； 有指望，有前途n.许诺； 希望，指望； 允诺的东西it would have been dishonourable of her not to keep her promise.她要是不履行诺言就不光彩了。the promise of eternal life in heaven在天国永生的许诺the promise of huge profits seduced him into parting with his money.高额利润的许诺诱使他把钱出了手。if you make a promise you should fulfill it.如果你许诺了，你就要履行你的诺言。2. greet vt.欢迎，迎接； 致敬，致意the child is shy and doesnt like to greet people.这孩子腼腆，不爱叫人。she rose to greet her guests.她起身迎接客人。4. i greet you in name of the president.我代表总统前来迎接你。3. forgive vt.& vi.原谅； 饶恕； 对不起； 请原谅ill never forgive her for what she did.我绝不会原谅她做的事。she could not forgive his infidelities.她无法原谅他的不忠行为。forgive me for leaving some of your questions unanswered.请原谅，你有几个问题我没回答。if you forgive men their trespasses,your heavenly father will also forgive you.如果你们饶恕他们的过失，你们的天父也必将饶恕你们的过失。4. modest adj.谦虚的，谦逊的； 适度的，适中的； 端庄的； 羞怯的he charged a relatively modest fee.他收取的费用不算高。be modest when you are on the crest of the wave.在最得意的时候要谦虚。be modest in learning,for complacency is the enemy of study.学习要虚心，自满是敌人。he made a name for himself in science, but he remained modest.他虽然在科学上出了名，但仍然很谦虚。【长难句分析】i thought of this woman whom i had never met, who, more than fifty years before, had begunone bulb at a timeto bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top.【句意】我想到了我未曾谋面的那个女人，五十多年前，她就开始了，一天一株，在山顶上给人们带来了美景和快乐。【语法分析】whom i had never met和who, more than fifty years before, had begunone bulb at a timeto bring the beauty and joy to the mountain top是两个定语从句。【语法点滴】who引导的定语从句在英语中，who可是个人气指数颇高的词，作为疑问代词，who可以引导特殊疑问句；作为关系代词，who可以引导定语从句。今天我们就一道看看who引导定语从句应注意的五个方面。 一、 who引导的定语从句的先行词是表示人的名词或代词。如： the student who is answering the question is john. 正在回答问题的那个学生是约翰。 anybody who breaks the laws will be punished. 任何违反法律的人都将受到惩罚。 二、 who是主格，在定语从句中作主语，此时不能省略。如： the person who was here yesterday is a musician. 昨天来这儿的那个人是位音乐家。 但在非正式英语中，who亦可作宾语，且可以省略。如： the man（who）i saw just now is mr li. 我刚才见到的那个人是李先生。 三、 在定语从句中，who在人称、数上和其前面的先行词保持一致。如： do you know the boy who is standing over there? 你认识站在那边
