A.memoryB. dreamC. intentionD. design解析：作者坦诚爱上园艺，最初的目的和意图(inten tio n)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：C2. A.ple

7、aseB. changeC. helpD. annoy解析：从第三段第一句 “At that age, I always did somethingopposite 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：D3. A.doubtB. appreciationC. surpriseD. excitement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.collec

8、t upBcareCclean upDcome in解析： 这个选项并不难，但是如果同学们没看懂 “something elseto 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.equalBsimilarCsuperiorDopposite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.painfulCupsettingBvaluableDinteresting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

9、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： C7A.come upChold onBbreak outDget 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.toBwithCinDby解析：wild with joy 欣喜若狂；洋洋得意。答案：B9A.LuckilyBCheerfullyCRegularlyDEventually解析

10、：此题容易选成cheerfully 高高兴兴地。仔细斟酌句子，我们看到 “one by 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.InsteadB HoweverCThereforeDBesides解析：however，表达不管作者的努力，父母还是无动于衷，表

11、转折。答案： BC glancedD jumped解析： “.because 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.convenientBtroublesomeC enjoyableD dangerous解析：dan gerous危险的。答案： B13. A.sadnessCdelightB

12、displeasureDrelief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。从 “I put in her vase my real roses which，in her eyes，were simply weeds rather than flowe rs ”明显可以看出妈妈的这种情绪。 A 项 sad ness有点莫名其妙，明显和作者大意相去甚远。答案： B14. A.other thanB more thanC rather thanD less 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

13、不同于；除了 以外；more than和less than都是数量上的比较。答案： C15A.dislikeBencouragementC threatD suggestion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.decidedB stoppedC continuedD struggled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

14、.A.devoteB turnC respondD lead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、用拟人的手法写道：“theybreathe，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.defeatBsatisfyC. respectD. challenge解析：此题是对作者当年开始养花的最初目的的诠释。challe nge挑战父母

15、的耐心，对着干。答案：D19. A.proudB. comfortableC. stra ngeD. disappo in ted解析： 作者在变化，作者的父母也在改变。作者在园艺上做出了一番成就，当然会让她的父母为之骄傲。答案：A20. A.freedomB. lifeC . growthD . n ature解析：主题重现，也和第一段首尾呼应。第一段 My earlyintention 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

16、 my affecti on for n ature that makes me a real garde neh 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：DII 阅读理解AThe sky began to look a little kinder and the winter said its goodbyes.Springtime had officially arrived, thankfully so.The winter had been cruel, as the ice had caused Tara to fall more than on
